On Genital Based Morality by Edwin Kagin
The Governor of South Carolina is the latest church going, god fearing, male politician to get caught having an affair, and the press is once again going into predictable moralistic orbit, treating the phenomenon as worthy of news coverage.
The obvious reason for this phenomenon is that human beings like sex. The obvious solution is to require that all American male politicians be eunuchs.
In a spirit of analysis of what this is all about, the following is reproduced for your thoughtful enjoyment. It is from "Baubles of Blasphemy," by Edwin F. Kagin, second printing, American Atheists Press, edited by Edward Buckner. You can get a copy here: www.atheists.org There is a rumor that there may be a Second Edition of this work coming out sometime before the Second Coming of the Messiah.
Morals are manners, and manners are subject to change.
Mrs. Carolyn Benton Cockefaire
As this blasphemy goes to press in early February of 1999, the next to the last year of this millennium, a sideshow skirmish in the American Religious Civil War (ARCW) whimpers to an end. This fanatic digression from reason (fortunately doomed to failure--for now at least) was flamed by attempts of the storm troopers of the religiocencratic forces to kick out the President of the United States because they deem him immoral and unfit to govern because of what he and a human of female persuasion did with his and her genitals, and that he then allegedly lied concerning the doing thereof.
Voluntarily, with the consent of the victims, our nation has managed to become a joke among nations because the piously powerful refuse to recognize or admit that human beings are sexual beings, and not necessarily monogamous ones. In furtherance of this fool's folly, they ground their understanding of morality on a vain attempt to define humans as somehow outside of the natural world (the only one we know) and apart from other living creatures with whom it is imperfectly shared. If humans were monogamous, they would behave in monogamous ways, as do monogamous animals. To cope with not being monogamously made, rules have been invented requiring monogamous behavior from non-monogamous creatures. These made up rules, that human nature deplores, are defined and presented as the unchangeable moral law of god. In consequence, pretentiously pious persons lie about sex and delude themselves about morality by genitally defining goodness, and damning, as morally defective, all who dissent, detract, or disobey--including our head of state who also just happens to champion a variety of humanistic causes his detractors undauntingly damn.
Incredibly, the miserable monolithic moronic moral code of those ethical paupers who would destroy us and our democracy in the ARCW is based on genitals (not to be confused with gentiles). This is indeed curious in that sex (not gender--gender is a term of grammar), would be hard pressed to get along without genitals. Where there is sex, there are genitals. It's god's plan; "male and female created he them." The god the stories say ordained procreation wisely gave created creatures the tools with which to procreate. These tools of god's plan are the very genitals conjugally challenged sufferers of moralist madness abhor. Rejection of dreaded essential genitals is the center, the very essence, of their nutty notions of moral law. This idiotic and evil short circuiting of reason, this delusional deduction of dunces, may be understood as Genital Based Morality (GBM).
GBM is an infantile system of primitive simplistic thinking, involving magical make believe, and is thus quite easy to understand. Abortion, homosexuality, pornography, prostitution, unmarried sex, oral sex, sodomy (maybe Gomorra), non-monogamous sex, "adult" videos, nudist clubs, nude beaches, nude dancing--anything that touches upon, views, uses, or has anything whatsoever to do with, genitals, is immoral and bad. See how easy it is. Further inquiry, reasoning, or evidence is superfluous and irrelevant. If it is genital, it is bad. Barbie and Ken must not have genitals lest they display the ultimate reality of being human, and thereby educate, confuse and corrupt little children who should be taught to believe the world works in ways other than it does. Legislatures and judges should let a relgiocrazy kill their kid by denying medical treatment, yet prosecute nudist clubs for permitting people to walk around in the uniform of the day of Eden. Steal from widows and orphans if you must, so long as you don't do the dirty in forbidden ways, or watch others do it, or pay for it, or, god help us all, enjoy it. Rather think of England and canning apricots than be damned by those damned genitals causing forbidden thoughts or, in cases of extreme sin, actually giving their owner(s) forbidden pleasure. GBM subordinates every other consideration regarding personal and group thought and behavior to this prime (not primal) directive.
How did we come to this unhappy state? Scene shifts to downtown Baghdad, Iraq. Where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers meet. Garden of Eden. Year the first. Setting of a bronze age myth that has done much mischief whenever and wherever believed. Adam and Eve were set up by god. They were naked. They didn't know this was bad because god didn't tell them. God knew it was bad, but they didn't. So there they were, the first nudists, as innocently unclothed as the heathen participants in the first Olympic Games, put naked in paradise by a voyeuristic god in a place where snakes talked and had legs and told the truth about knowledge not killing people. Then Eve got Adam, per snake advice, to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, of which god had told them not to eat. And he did, and she did, and women have been blamed for this ever since, for god was displeased that they had disobeyed, listened to that snake, and acquired the nasty knowledge that the only human genitals on earth were shamefully exposed. God then killed some innocent animals to clothe our first parents so they would not be in a state of shame with their genitals showing. Some believed this story and taught others to believe it. Some believe it today. Thus was Genital Based Morality (GBM) born. We don't know what god wore
It is unclear just how A & E could have been expected to know it was wrong not to obey god before they had knowledge of good and evil. But religion need not be rational. The lesson is that knowledge is bad, and that nakedness is shameful. With full knowledge of their shameful state of genital visibility, Adam and Eve were booted out of Eden by a loving and all knowing god, a god without whose knowledge and approval no sparrow falls. Ever since, those predestined to sin by this same all merciful god have been damned to eternal suffering for sinning. GBM has never claimed to be logical or fair. Neither has god. Actually he/she has, but this claim is not supported by the record.
Secular humanists, and others who think an ethical system should extend beyond the groin, are condemned by those who see themselves as righteous and saved. The self-righteous contend non-believers cannot be good people, for such sinners lack a proper sense of shame and guilt derived from an alleged moral base. This fantasizes an objective, defined, findable, and absolute moral authority that tells good people what is right and what is wrong, a moral compass without which there can be no values. In this understanding, it is a lack of belief in "natural law" (a misunderstood term) that has spread from godless humanism to science, to classroom, to generate the corrosive moral rot that is wrecking our society, denying us the intervention of a displeased god, who we offend with abortion, homosexuality, unwed sex, pornography, and god help us all, evolution. Oddly, all of these but the evolution thing seem to have something to do with sex. Come to think on it, the evolution stuff does too. The bottom line says if you aren't guilted out by GBM you are a bad person who is going to spend eternity in Hell.
GBM is a relatively recent religious repression. Apart from the Eden tradition, religious teachings of the past (including lots of really sexy bible stories they don't tell you about in Sunday school) haven't made anything like this much of a fuss over genitals. Indeed, they seem to have been rather favored--both kinds (genitals, not religions--there are lots more than two kinds of religions). The ancient Greeks made much larger than life models of them (genitals) and put them (the models) on display at public theatres. Such a display in modern moral middle America would get you sent to the cooler in seats of learning like Cincinnati. Genitals probably haven't changed much, but attitudes toward them have. The fault is neither generic nor genital. It is the miasmal moral morass of garbled glib guilt gilded gibberish packaged, proclaimed, and peddled as the will of god given unto lesser mortals by those who interpret the truths of natural law. You know, people like Dr. Laura, Henry Hyde, and the bigots who run "Right to Life," claim to be "family friendly," seek "answers in genesis" (not genitals) and, because of the GBM that guides their petty lives, want to kick our President out of the White House, as the naked A & E were kicked out of Paradise (not to be confused with Club Paradise) because they acquired knowledge and an awareness of being attached to their genitals.
Those waging the ARCW claim our head of state lied under oath about his private conduct with his privates. Ah, wonder if they know of the manner of swearing when one swore a mighty oath before the holy Patriarchs of the bible? Abraham and Jacob's method of swearing required the placing of "his hand under the thigh." This involved, I swear, the person giving the oath putting his hand on the genitals of the one to whom he swore. This practice gave weight to the oath. Don't know why this method was adopted, or when it was abandoned (am just glad it was). At least GBM had a real, if different, meaning back then. Maybe the President was attempting the reintroduction of this ancient practice. Don't know how women took oaths, or if such was even permitted. After all, who could trust any woman after Eve? My Helen has a bumper sticker that says, "Eve was framed."
Genitals were so important in the bible that trimming the male version via circumcision was a religious requirement. And it is written in the word of god that a eunuch cannot enter the kingdom of heaven, nor can one who has had his "stones crushed," i.e., had his testicles smashed. Doesn't seem right or fair somehow, but it does show how much genitals meant to those who penned those bronze age writings. Jesus later suggested that it would be better if a man cut off his genitals. Some early church fathers, like Origen, did just that. Don't know if the "crushed stones" rule applied and kept him out of heaven. That would have been a shame indeed. After Jesus, genitals did not seem so highly regarded, but they were made even more important by being used to define all aspects of the moral law--by becoming the basis of good and evil. Maybe Jesus started GBM. Whoever did was probably scared of women.
The pre-GBM bible book, the Song of Songs, sometimes erroneously called the Song of Solomon, has quite a bit to say about genitals. It is Jewish, and pre-Christian. Puritans, not daring to recognize it for what it is, say this bible story is an allegory touching on Christ's love for his church. It is actually an erotic work (seems Egyptian, really) about a man's lust for his sister, touching on his desire to climb her branches and, like a young roe, graze about her breasts and genitals. Christ's love for the church, indeed! How much in general genital denial these clever clerics be, especially those proudly proclaiming the cults of celibacy and cloister.
Consider as an alternate approach, one in marked contrast to modern GBM, the ancient Egyptian creation myth. It was a bit different from the one taught in Christian Sunday schools. The great god Rah ejaculated (yes, from his genitals) the stars and all that is--sort of a climactic cosmology. The Egyptian version of the Holy of Holies held a statute of the god with erect phallus. Priestesses and priests held sacred ceremonies reenacting, with the pharaoh, the living god, the comic climax. Now how's that for a religion? Gives a whole new meaning to the idea of handmaidens. Archeological evidence of these religious beliefs and practices were suppressed by modern puritans who displayed some of the sacred religious art of the Egyptians with an informational museum type sign placed, like a fig leaf, over the essence of the religious symbolism of the pictorial depiction of the turgid pharaoh, the living god. Only by moving the sign could the true meaning of the mysteries of Egyptian religion be revealed, truths once commonly accepted and viewed openly by all, including little children who were not taught to be embarrassed or shamed by genitals. After all, reasoned our unsaved predecessors, where would we be without them?
Then there was sacred prostitution. And there were seasonal approved-by-prevailing-local-religions orgies to teach the crops and herds to reproduce and grow, and to encourage the gods to let them do so. The great men of the bible had many wives, with no complaint from god. When king David was old, they put two young women in bed with him to keep him warm. Lot's daughters got him drunk and seduced him. If a king could not get an erection, it was felt he could no longer rule. No impeachment plot nonsense over sex then. Genital shame is a modern Christian phenomenon. GBM has replaced ethics. Denial has become duty and holiness has been traded for honor. Repression has pushed reason from the banquet table of life. Moralists who think everyone should follow their GBM are generally good persons in the worst sense of the word. If they tell you they are "born again Christians," thank them for the warning. They are usually more tedious and venal the second time around.
Do you find all the moralizing and genital ranting going on these days just a little silly? Good. It is. GBM denies the realities of the world. The preacher doesn't tell on the deacon when they meet in the whorehouse. Everybody lies about sex. Under oath too. Ask any divorce lawyer. This is because of GBM and the failure to admit that we, who some say are made in the image of god, are not all monogamous creatures, and monogamous or not, we tend to like sex (the exceptions to this are beyond the scope of this discourse). This causes problems when a moral code is imposed and accepted that denies our mortal nature. Our kind would have become extinct long ago if we had followed such a moral law and actually repudiated the idea of deflowering virgins. Enforcement of rules that try to cancel out the very chemistry of life will be about as successful as attempting to plow the sea or baptize a cat.
So we laugh when moralists like Dr. Laura get caught with their pants down in indiscreet photos--from a less famous time--posted on the internet, or when those who accuse the President are found to have themselves tasted forbidden fruit. Hate and hypocrisy are the twin tyrannies that fuel GBM. Surely there is more to living a good life than making ethical judgments based on genital repression. Consider, dear reader, if you would care to spend eternity in the company of those who do.
If history teaches anything, it is that moral judgments change. This applies to everything from sexual behavior to smoking in public (some say they smoke after sex--others say they never noticed). Today's customs can become tomorrow's perversions, as we make taboo the thrills of our fathers, or heap honor on persons and ideas they hated. Things change. That's the one universal truth.
And there are, to be sure, decent monogamous (not to be confused with monotonous) humanistic humans. There are also humans who can eat spaghetti with chop sticks. This does not mean we should outlaw forks.

Details of Straight No Chaser and the Ticket Luck value
The fabulous a cappella group Straight No Chaser is about to embark on an epic tour for their fans to be a part of. SNC have been a part of the music fraternity for well just under a decade and during that time they have come out with one majestic performance after another to rank among the best of their time. With them on the road this is your chance to grab Straight No Chaser tickets and watch them perform on stage live.
Straight No Chaser was the brainchild of Don Ponce. It was the year 1996 when he teamed up with Kevin Carroll, Randy Stine, Jerome Collins, Mike Itkoff, Dave Roberts, Steve Morgan, Patrick Hachey, Walter Chase and Charlie Mechling to form the basis of what has now become a famous band.
The ten young performers set foot on the stage for the first time to perform a dance routine that was a staggering thirty six hours in duration. From there onwards they went on to perform at famous places like the Wrigley Field, Navy Pier and Comiskey Park. Their reputation began to turn heads and that landed them an opening slot for legendary Lou Rawls concerts. SNC then made their way to the iconic Carnegie Hall for a breathtaking performance.
The ten original members of the band stayed together to perform for three years until they graduated in the year 1999. New students took their places and Straight No Chaser remained a collegiate level band. That remained the case till the middle of the 2000's as the original members decided to make a sensational comeback.
There arose a problem however. Now they were two bands playing. One with the ten founding members and the other consisted of students from Indiana University. Names of both groups was the same, Straight No Chaser. They decided to keep it that way and got on with creating their own music.
In the fourth month of 2006, SNC hit the limelight in a big way and that too for a track they had recorded way back in 1998. The song was titled "The 12 Days of Christmas" and it was uploaded to the famous video sharing website YouTube. The recording turned out to be a massive hit that was viewed by millions of music fans from around the globe. It also caught the attention of Atlantic Record's Chief Executive Officer Craig Kallman who was so impressed by what he saw that he didn't waste any time contacting Randy Stine as he has posted the video. Kallman wanted the actual line-up to come together and record a brand new album.
The deal was done and in the summer of the year 2008, the originals barring Kevin Carroll and Patrick Hachey joined hands for a sensational reunion. They needed another two members who turned out to be Ryan Ahlwardt and Mike Luginbill. Both of them had been a part of the collegiate SNC between 2000 and 2003.
With the line-up complete Straight No Chaser came out with "Holiday Spirits," their first major album. It turned out to be a huge hit that went on to the pinnacle of iTunes charts. That was followed up by another holiday season inspired album "Christmas Cheers" which turned out to be their second straight hit.
Straight No Chaser then changed tracks with their next album that was titled "With a Twist." It was the group's first pop rock creation. SNC were taking a risk by diverting away from their tried and tested holiday music formula but they knew what they were doing and so it proved. The album was the biggest hit of the three albums and more than justified the band's change in direction.
Their latest release "Under the Influence" hit the music stores in May, 2013 and it didn't take too long to make its mark either. What began as an experimental collegiate level group has now gone on to become a huge sensation. They have more than made their mark on the music industry and for that they deserve all the credit they get. Now that they have hit the road once again grab your Straight No Chaser tickets and hop on for a ride that you will not forget anytime soon.

They may be the President and the First Dog, but at the end of the day, Bo Obama is just a pup waiting for his pop to come home.
The White House's official photographer, Pete Souza, shared a photo of President Barack Obama and his loyal pal enjoying a sweet reunion in the Oval Office on Tuesday. The pic followed one posted earlier in the day of a serious-looking Commander-in-Chief walking into his White House office while his furry friend looked up at him from the floor.
Upon seeing Bo, Obama bent down to the Portuguese water dog's level, and smiled as he scratched his neck. Just call Bo the White House's official stress-reliever!

Ever since Team Ninja's been in charge of the modern-day Ninja Gaiden franchise, no character kills bad guys quite the way that Ryu Hayabusa does. Tecmo's been teasing out the specifics of his next outing for a bit and finally passed along word of when we'll be able to play as the viciously gifted shadow warrior.
March 2012 will be when the ninja threequel launches and it'll do so with the obligatory collector's edition variant. Pre-ordering will get you a two-character demo from Dead or Alive 5, also being made by Team Ninja, before it comes out later in 2012. Getting the Collector's Edition—which will run $99.99—ponies up four playable characters from DoA 5 to try out in the demo for that fighting game, the "Unmask" art book, a soundtrack CD and a "Duel of the Masked" figure. You'll only be able to get the Ninja Gaiden 3 Collector's Edition at GameStop and EB Games, though.

Please know this to be true: The Oak Ridge Chorus' All Saints Day Concert performed Saturday night at First United Methodist Church lifted Director Seth Maples to near sainthood.
Please know this to be true: The Oak Ridge Chorus' All Saints Day Concert performed Saturday night at First United Methodist Church lifted Director Seth Maples to near sainthood. We cannot canonize him, but we can surely crown him patron saint of building up a professional sounding chorus. What the new director has done with a chorus of volunteers in a limited amount of time is sublime.
The purpose of this program on the eve of All-Saints Sunday was to remember all of our brothers and sisters who have departed this life, and to be mindful of the mourning survivors who are in need of comfort and peace.
Eleven songs, sung in a variety of languages and vocal styles, gave us a sampling of challenging choral works. The preparedness of the chorus was living proof that Maples has set the standards high.
What a rich and colorful effect the opening "I Was Glad" created. John Ferguson's marvelous "Festival Introit" with brass and organ moved along at a driving joyous tempo, an awakening if you will, for all listeners. Tonal beauty and wonderful details were heard in the poetic "Where Your Bare Foot Walks "(David Childs) and in "When I Hear Music" (Michael Martin).
"Hark I Hear the Harps Eternal" (Alice Parker) shined with polish, while "Shenandoah" (James Erb) was mellow, sentimental and harmoniously pleasing. Appealing to our finer senses was the beautiful Psalm 148 "Hvalite Ghospoda s nebes" by Pavel Chesnokov. What an elegant picture it painted.
Whoa! Who could forget Jester Hairston's "In Dat Great Gittin' Up Mornin?" The alert chorus absolutely aced it — rhythmic complexities, tonal timbre, facial joy, the whole shebang. Heaven never looked so inviting. However, we hope Josh Golden and John Maples are not ready to say farewell. We just gotta hear them belt out those solos again. Bravo!
It gets even better. Sidumo Nyamezele's South African "Bawo Thixo Somandla" was technically outstanding, and the rich blend of the voices is still lingering in our heads. The thrills culminated in the rousing spiritual "Ride On, King Jesus" by Moses Hogan. House-filling voices sang out with confidence and joy. There was nothing ordinary here.
Peter Wilhousky's "Battle Hymn of the Republic" begs to be emotional. even schmaltzed, but ain't it spine-tingling fun? Kudos to Maples for letting the audience get in the act.
Cathy Whitten on organ and piano had dexterity to spare for the challenging accompaniments. She plays fluently and accurately, even on rapid octave passages. She deserved the recognition she got, especially on the "Battle Hymn," where she had to be the army, the fife, the drum and whatever.
Josh Golden, John Maples, Dave Massa and Seth Maples formed a quartet good enough for any king's court. They sang "The Mansions of the Lord" by Randall Wallace and received a huge ovation. The lovely voices of Mollie Byrd, Madison Foster and Amanda Pendley filled the solo roles, and finally, Ward Bigler, Evan Headrick, Don Batchelor, and Dale Pendley took good care of the thrilling brass parts
A standing ovation was well earned. Seth Maples is eager and enthusiastic, and so seem his singers. We like how he gets it. He gets the character of a piece, and whether you love it or do not love it, you will know what the piece is about. You will know because you will hear it in the execution and see it in the faces of the musicians.

03.28.13: The CCRI Lady Knights softball team hosted the Bulldogs of Dean College for their home opening doubleheader on Thursday at Winslow Park Field 1 in Apponaug. The Lady Knights defeated the Bulldogs 6-0 in the first game and 12-2 in the second game. With the two victories the Lady Knights improve to 2-5 on the season and 2-0 in Region XXI play.
Game 1
CCRI- 6 Dean- 0
On the mound for the Lady Knights Katie Paddock (Providence, RI) got the start and pitched very well, throwing a complete game shutout to earn her first victory of the year. Paddock threw seven strong innings allowing no-runs while scattering eight hits, striking out four Bulldogs and walking none. Katie worked out of a first inning jam stranding runner at second and third with one out and built upon that as the game progressed. Paddock was never really in anymore trouble until the seventh inning after a lead-off double but she quickly got the next three batters to secure the shutout and first win of the year and the second of her collegiate career.
Offensively for CCRI, they wasted little time getting on the scoreboard scoring five times in the first inning and once on the second to create a 6-0 lead. The Lady Knights were patient at the plate early on as they walked five times in the first inning and were advantageous on the base paths to score their runs. Leading the way for CCRI offensively was Co-Captain Liz Coburn (Chepachet, RI) who was 2-2 with two singles, an RBI, a run scored and two stolen bases and Sara Deal (North Kingstown RI) added a double and a RBI. Also helping CCRI was Alex Place (East Greenwich, RI), Kate Fowler (Warwick, RI) and Co-Captain Mel Iadeluca (Warwick, RI) who each had a hit apiece.
Game 2
CCRI- 12 Dean- 2 five innings by Mercy Rule
On the mound for the Lady Knights Macayla Paiva (West Greenwich, RI) got the start and was very effective. Paiva threw five strong innings allowing two runs on five hits, walking three and strike gout three Bulldogs for the complete game win. Paiva allowed a run in the first inning and one in the fifth, but by the fifth inning the game was already in CCRI's control. With the solid performance Paiva earns her first collegiate victory.
Offensively for the Lady Knights it all came together as they exploded for 12 hits for the game while scoring nine runs in the first inning and three more in the third to coast to a 12-2 victory. The first big hit for CCRI came from Mel Iadeluca who had a three RBIs double in the first followed by Brittany Smith (North Providence, RI) with an RBI single and later in the first Alex Place added a three RBIs single and before you know it the Lady Knights were leading 9-1 after one completed inning. The Lady Knights tacked on three more runs in the third in inning on a bases loaded, base-clearing single from Co-Captain Izzy MarcAurele (Cranston, RI) to cap the CCRI scoring. Leading the way for CCRI offensively was Place with two hits, two runs scored, and three RBIs, Co-Captain Iadeluca with two hits including a double, with a run scored and three RBIs and MarcAurele who had a hit, a run scored and three RBIs. Britt Smith added two hits an RBI and two runs scored and Amber Boucher (Warwick, RI) had two hits and two runs scored. In addition, Katie Paddock, Kate Fowler and Sara Deal each added a hit and a run scored apiece to round out the Lady Knights' attack.
Head Coach Liz Afonso stated: "I am very happy with the team's performance today in both games. Everyone contributed and the offense really came together today."
The Lady Knights are back in action Friday at 3:30pm when they will face the Mustangs of Monroe College for a doubleheader beginning at 3:30 at Winslow Park Field 1 in Apponaug.

Insurers Getting Bad Data from Healthcare Site

In case you haven't been watching, I've made a number of videos about religion, and Christianity in particular. And one of the most intriguing responses I've received from Christians is when they say, "Why don't you make a video about Islam?" Well, is it any surprise that I would address the most common and influential religion in this part of the world, in addition to discussing religions in general? This is such an insipid reaction that I've almost considered never doing any videos about Islam, just to irritate the people who would say something like that. As a substantive rebuttal, it ranks somewhere between "Hey, look over there" and "Leave Britney alone!"
It's hard to imagine how anyone who's actually watched my videos could come to the conclusion that I have some kind of soft spot for Islam. And for the same reason, I have to wonder why anyone who follows the Christian god would have a problem with Islam at all. Do they object to the idea of women being under the authority of men and regarded as inferior? Probably not. Do they take issue with gay people being executed or condemned to hell? Not likely. Do they disagree with religious texts that approve of slavery? Because the Bible does. Do they have a problem with polygamy? Because the Bible doesn't. Are they outraged at the notion of killing someone for leaving their religion? I don't see how. Are they repulsed by the thought of people being tortured forever for not following a certain faith? Please. Maybe they were just put off by that suicide attack in the name of God that killed 3,000 people. Or not.
It seems like they don't really object to Islam because they find its beliefs to be intolerable. They have a problem with it because it's not their religion. If it were, they would eagerly spin all kinds of excuses for this – and I'm sure they already are. But if they honestly think I'm okay with any of this when it happens to take place under the auspices of Islam, they're sorely mistaken.
What's even more interesting is when they pose this as some kind of dare, telling me, "I bet you wouldn't say that about Islam!" It's worth exploring what this is supposed to mean. Why wouldn't someone criticize Islam? Could it be because openly attacking Islam might be seen as "uncool" in some circles? Maybe, but that's never stopped me before. Or perhaps it's because some people are afraid to criticize Islam due to the possibility of violent reactions. If that's what these Christians are alluding to, it's troubling to think of the attitudes behind such a statement.
If they presumably don't want me saying all this about Christianity, do they wish people were just as afraid of violence from Christians? Are they looking for a de facto insulation of their beliefs from criticism by threatening anyone who disagrees? That's really something to aspire to. When Christians are essentially claiming, "You're only criticizing us because we won't kill you for it!", it raises some questions about what exactly they're trying to say. Are they seeking praise for not reacting violently to the open debate of their beliefs in a free society? Do they think they've earned some kind of accolades by not committing terrorist attacks? Because this really isn't something that's laudable – it's a minimal expectation for peaceful coexistence in a civilized world, and nobody deserves special honors for simply living up to that baseline standard. ("My name is ZJ, and I'm a terrorist. It's been four weeks since my last bombing.")
So not only is this complaint barely coherent and just blatantly disgusting in its implications, it's also wrong: I will say that about Islam. And if drawing a picture of Muhammad, tearing up a picture of Muhammad, eating a picture of Muhammad, insulting an al-Qaeda terrorist, and calling a proposed mosque a "monument to ignorance" weren't enough for you, I'd love to know what else I have to do. But as long as people aren't asking to hear about Islam in good faith, I have every reason to keep poking at their faith.

MIDDLEBURY — There are definite signs of life at the longtime restaurant space at 22 Merchants Row after more than a year-and-a-half of dormancy.
Those signs of life are evidenced by the sounds of hammers and skill saws being wielded by workers who are transforming the 2,343-square-foot space into a new Thai restaurant scheduled to open early next month.
It will be called "Sabai Sabai," Thai words that translate to "comfortable," noted Art Jilandharn, who with his wife, Claire, will operate the new restaurant.
"I had been looking to open a restaurant in this town for six or seven years, but I wasn't able to get in here," a jovial Art Jilandharn said last Wednesday as he and Claire worked with contractors to fashion a space that will seat up to 50 or 55 customers.
But the Jilandharns' luck changed when they noticed the "for lease" sign in the window of the Battell Block during a drive through Middlebury earlier this year and were able to negotiate a lease with the building owners about two months ago. The space had previously hosted Amigos Cantina and most recently Doria's Restaurant, which closed in April of 2010 after a two-year run.
The couple is making some major renovations of the space. The most prominent change that previous customers will notice is the demolition of the wall that once separated two distinct dining areas. A bar will remain in the center of the now-united spaces, though Sabai Sabai will only serve beer and wine, no spirits.
Once inside, diners will be presented with a menu featuring what the Jilandharns called "authentic Thai food with a western look." It is a formula that has worked very well at the couple's other two Vermont restaurants — the Royal Orchid in Montpelier and the Ocha Thai in Waterbury. The couple hails from the former Thai capital of Ayudhaya.
A menu provided by the Jilandharns features a series of appetizers, salads, entrees, vegetarian dishes and house specials. They include Tom Kha, a spicy coconut milk soup; Sabai salad with fried tofu and peanut dressing; green, red, yellow or Mussaman curry; Pad Thai; Pra Ram; duck served with tamarind sauce; and garlic shrimp.
Another featured item on the menu: Sushi.
The couple makes regular trips to Boston to keep stocked up on Thai spices and other authentic products.
Prices for entrees top out at around $22; most are in the $10 to $15 range. The menu will also feature lunch specials in the $8 to $10 range, with take-out available, the Jilandharns said.
Art Jilandharn said he is optimistic Sabai Sabai will prosper in Middlebury, a community with international flair and adventurous palates.
"It is a college town," he added, noting a potential strong turnout from students, faculty and staff.
Sabai Sabai will be open six days per week, with the off day still to be determined. Lunch will be served from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with dinner slated for 5 to 9/9:30 p.m.

Is There Any Task Less Satisfying Than Digging Post Holes In New England?
When discoursing on various labor-intensive projects and activities I often invoke the legend of Sisyphus, a mythological Greek king condemned for eternity to push an enormous boulder up a hill only to have it roll back down.
Among all the ridiculously arduous tasks – hacking away at bittersweet, constructing barriers to fend off deer, slugs and other plant predators, splitting freshly cut hickory for firewood – perhaps the most Sisyphusian is digging post holes.
Ledge, tree roots and hardpan stubbornly thwart shovel, mattock and pry bar. What's more, even the most elegant hole eventually gets filled, so the digger has nothing to show for his efforts.
For the past week or so I have been engaged in this wretched business, and I really shouldn't complain because I have only myself to blame.
It all started innocently enough on an early morning run when one of my favorite aromas wafted through the crisp, early autumn air: Concord grapes ripening along the side of the road.
How wonderful it would be to pick grapes in the backyard each fall, I thought. I already enjoy blueberries fresh from the garden in summer, along with native raspberries, which grow in nearby woods and fields.
Concord grapes also grow wild, but they have a major flaw: seeds. For me, this pretty much ruins the dining experience. The solution: grow my own seedless table grapes.
I went online to research this project, and also have been consulting with a dairy farmer on my running route who recently added a vineyard. While I haven't settled on the varieties I intend to plant in the spring, this much I do know: Unless I cover my vines with netting I might as well concede at least half the crop to voracious avian freeloaders.
I learned this lesson with blueberries, and loyal readers will recall how last spring I finally built a solid wooden frame that supports a nylon net bird barrier.
A particularly determined catbird discovered a tiny slit and periodically sneaked into the enclosure, but I couldn't begrudge him a few meals. I won't have to worry about birds getting into the grapes for a while – it takes two years for the vines to produce fruit, and by then my fortress, modeled after the blueberry frame, will be impenetrable.
It consists of 21 pressure-treated posts, each measuring 5-by-8 inches wide and 8 feet tall. I extended the lengths of each by 2 feet by screwing sections of 2-by-4s. I then buried the posts in rows 8 feet apart about 2 feet deep and filled the holes with rocks and clay.
Next, I screwed in 2x4s that will serve much like rafters to support the netting.
Finally, I will reinforce the walls with metal mesh fencing to ward off the robo-deer, and then add the bird netting. It is adjacent to an existing garden fence, so I've only had to build three additional sides. This new section measures about 25 by 30 feet.
As for the vines, I'll plant them in rows beneath strands of baling wire. But before I can put in vines I have to transplant about 150 pine and spruce seedlings now occupying that space in what has been part of my makeshift tree nursery.
I know, I know, it's a lot of work for grapes, and I'll have to live another 230 years to recover the expense, not even factoring in the labor.
But one morning in the fall of 2014 I will stroll out to the garden, pick a bunch of grapes, eat them with my yogurt, and it will all have been worth it.

The DWR continues to act like a good old boys club that cares about nothing but its own self interest. Increasing numbers of ungulates may be nice for wildlife viewing but that does not ensure the health of the ecosystem. Does the input of the Forest Service and conservation groups mean nothing to them? Apparently so.
I do not understand how they can be allowed to carry this project out when it poses significant risk to the La Sals and no benefits to the ecosystem. The DWR is wasting money and threatening a fragile environment. It's a lose-lose situation.

text: A posthumous work by a beloved writer can only be welcomed with open and respectful arms. Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Wendy Wasserstein's first novel, Elements of Style, arrives just three months after her death at age 55. It is a satiric tale of good versus shallow, an Upper East Side sliver of the Big Apple, set in the wake of 9-11. Wasserstein's aftermath is not the fall of 2001 filled with funerals, bagpipe dirges on Fifth Avenue or "Portraits of Grief" in The New York Times. Hers is, pointedly, the post-9-11 of the rich and the fashionable, and those desperate to join them.

Stratford looking for real estate agents
STRATFORD -- It might seem like real estate agents are everywhere, but that's not stopping the town from searching for them.
Town Hall has asked local real estate agents to consider selling the town's excess property that was acquired through tax foreclosures.
According to Director of Economic Development Karen M. Kaiser, the town wants to create a short list of real estate brokers who would share the workload. To that end, a "request for qualifications" was issued recently, and prospective real estate agents have until Monday at 3 p.m. to apply.
Applications are available from Town Purchasing Agent Michael Bonnar.
Kaiser said there are two properties on the list already, and about 20 more will likely be added in the next six months or so.
She said Mayor John Harkins "has been really aggressive in getting these parcels back on the tax rolls."
One of these properties is at 993 Honeyspot Road, across the street from
UPS, which extends back
to Mayfair Place.
The other property involves a local landmark of sorts, the six huge concrete coal storage towers on Stratford Avenue, across the street from St. Michael's Cemetery.
Known to some as the Mercer Towers -- you can still make out the name MERCER in faded paint on the concrete -- the hulking structure probably dates back to the 1920s or 1930s, according to officials.
Kaiser said two adjoining parcels, the former Wade's Garage and a monument company, have also been taken over by the town in recent weeks. She said taxes haven't been paid on these parcels in years.
"That would make one long lot, so it might make a good opportunity for someone," Kaiser said.
Kaiser said a new
mayoral-appointed board, the five-member Redevelopment Agency, had its first meeting on Wednesday. The RDA, she said, is charged with developing brownfields and foreclosed properties, with the approval of the mayor and Town Council.
"The town is aggressively doing several things at the same time," Kaiser said. "We're working with the state to get grant money for brownfield remediation, and we're foreclosing on these properties to get them back on the tax rolls, and we're working in the state to find developers for these parcels."
Kaiser said she's expecting a number of real estate agents to apply for the positions.
"I've heard that there's a lot of interest in this, although the application form is pretty long," she said.

This stretch of pavement is cursed (for me anyway); I've received three speeding tickets on it in as many years. A shame really as it's a nice piece of road, cutting through Brea Canyon while offering superb views of the foothill chapparal. I deserved the one ticket in my M3 but the other two were pretty lame. Got tagged for seven mph over the 65 mph limit. Whatever.
Obviously, I am careful on this freeway and try to keep the speed around 73 mph (while most people fly by a good 15 mph faster). I'm driving a 2010 Aston Martin V8 Vantage and while this fabulous machine is perfectly content at this speed, I can tell it's kind of disappointed with me. I think fellow drivers are as well. I've gotten serious stink-eye from a guy in a BMW M5, and some dude in a lifted truck simply shook his head and mouthed the word "pathetic."
I can feel my face flush.
I do my best to ignore it and concentrate on the sheer awesomeness of this car. Within a few seconds the Aston accelerates to 91 mph and then 98 mph as Astons are wont to do. Luckily, my offramp is just ahead and I beat a hasty retreat on a secret back road. If there was heat back there it would never find me.
The entire family is up here and the Vantage is mobbed with bodies. The kids take turns sitting in it and making engine noises. They talk about all the rad "spin outs" and "pop-a-wheelies" they could do in this car.
I notice my own kids aren't there. They are fawning over the new horse, a gentle three-year-old gelding named James Brown. Carly brings it over to the car and the horse gives it a good once over. James looks at me, shakes his head, and bares his teeth. I'm pretty sure all horses hate me. Birds too. I don't know why.
Cole tells me James is upset because I didn't bring a DBS. Carly adds that James is a big fan of 12-cylinder engines.
Conrad ends this shaming by spouting the better performance numbers of the DBS.
In my younger days I might have started screaming.
"Fer Chrissakes... it's a damn Aston Martin, what the hell do you guys want?"
Of course, they'd respond truthfully: "A DBS, Dad".
You've gotta love the brutal honesty in kids.
That the V8 Vantage is a fabulous car is without question. It's hellaciously fast, corners with extreme prejudice, and is terribly sexy. But if I was going to buy an Aston, I admit I'd go straight to the DBS.
In truth, this is how most of our audience is wired, be it a CSL M3, Cayenne Turbo, Jaguar XJ Supersport, or Volkswagen GTI. Given the financial resources, we go for the top-drawer model every time. And if you're going to modify your car for even more performance, it makes sense to start with as much as you can get from the factory.
I guess I've taught my kids well. Let's just hope they can put that education to good use.
Good taste tends to be expensive.

Sqlite uses advisory byte-range locks on the database file to coordinate safe, concurrent access by multiple readers and writers [1]. The five file locking states (UNLOCKED, PENDING, SHARED, RESERVED, EXCLUSIVE) are implemented as POSIX read & write locks over fixed set of locations (via fsctl), on AFP and SMB only exclusive byte-range locks are available via fsctl with _IOWR('z', 23, struct ByteRangeLockPB2) to track the same 5 states. To simulate a F_RDLCK on the shared range, on AFP a randomly selected address in the shared range is taken for a SHARED lock, the entire shared range is taken for an EXCLUSIVE lock):
PENDING_BYTE 0x40000000 RESERVED_BYTE 0x40000001 SHARED_RANGE 0x40000002 -> 0x40000200
This works well on the local file system, but shows a nearly 100x slowdown in read performance on AFP because the AFP client disables the read cache when byte-range locks are present. Enabling the read cache exposes a cache coherency problem that is present on all OS X supported network file systems. NFS and AFP both observe the close-to-open semantics for ensuring cache coherency [2], which does not effectively address the requirements for concurrent database access by multiple readers and writers [3].
To address the performance and cache coherency issues, proxy file locking changes the way database access is controlled by limiting access to a single host at a time and moving file locks off of the database file and onto a proxy file on the local file system.
Using proxy locks
C APIs
sqlite3_file_control(db, dbname, SQLITE_SET_LOCKPROXYFILE, (char *)proxy_path> | ":auto:") sqlite3_file_control(db, dbname, SQLITE_GET_LOCKPROXYFILE, (char **)proxy_path)
SQL pragmas
PRAGMA [database.]lock_proxy_file=<proxy_path> | :auto: PRAGMA [database.]lock_proxy_file
Specifying ":auto:" means that if there is a conch file with a matching host ID in it, the proxy path in the conch file will be used, otherwise a proxy path based on the LOCKPROXYDIR (or default temp dir) will be used and the actual proxy file name is generated from the name and path of the database file. For example:
For database path "/Users/me/foo.db" The lock path will be "<tmpdir>/sqliteplocks/_Users_me_foo.db:auto:")
Open flag
Include the SQLITE_OPEN_AUTOPROXY flag to sqlite3_open_v2 to automatically enable proxy locking on non-local file systems, using the ":auto:" style lock proxy file naming convention.
Once a lock proxy is configured for a database connection, it can not be removed, however it may be switched to a different proxy path via the above APIs (assuming the conch file is not being held by another connection or process).
How proxy locking works
Proxy file locking relies primarily on two new supporting files:
- conch file to limit access to the database file to a single host at a time
- proxy file to act as a proxy for the advisory locks normally taken on the database
The conch file - to use a proxy file, sqlite must first "hold the conch" by taking an sqlite-style shared lock on the conch file, reading the contents and comparing the host's unique host ID (see below) and lock proxy path against the values stored in the conch. The conch file is stored in the same directory as the database file and the file name is patterned after the database file name as ".<databasename>-conch". If the conch file does not exist, or it's contents do not match the host ID and/or proxy path, then the lock is escalated to an exclusive lock and the conch file contents is updated with the host ID and proxy path and the lock is downgraded to a shared lock again. If the conch is held by another process (with a shared lock), the exclusive lock will fail and SQLITE_BUSY is returned.
The proxy file - a single-byte file used for all advisory file locks normally taken on the database file. This allows for safe sharing of the database file for multiple readers and writers on the same host (the conch ensures that they all use the same local lock file).
Requesting the lock proxy does not immediately take the conch, it is only taken when the first request to lock database file is made. This matches the semantics of the traditional locking behavior, where opening a connection to a database file does not take a lock on it. The shared lock and an open file descriptor are maintained until the connection to the database is closed.
The proxy file and the lock file are never deleted so they only need to be created the first time they are used.
Configuration options
Sqlite must be built with the SQLITE_ENABLE_LOCKING_STYLE macro defined to enable proxy locking.
Other compile-time options
Database files accessed on non-local file systems are automatically configured for proxy locking, lock files are named automatically using the same logic as PRAGMA lock_proxy_file=":auto:"
Enables the logging of error messages during host id file retrieval and creation
Overrides the default directory used for lock proxy files that are named automatically via the ":auto:" setting
Permissions to use when creating a directory for storing the lock proxy files, only used when LOCKPROXYDIR is not set.
As mentioned above, when compiled with SQLITE_PREFER_PROXY_LOCKING, setting the environment variable SQLITE_FORCE_PROXY_LOCKING to 1 will force proxy locking to be used for every database file opened, and 0 will force automatic proxy locking to be disabled for all database files (explicity calling the SQLITE_SET_LOCKPROXYFILE pragma or sqlite_file_control API is not affected by SQLITE_FORCE_PROXY_LOCKING).

THEY MAY have impressed in the win over Italy, but wing Tim Visser has warned that he and his Scotland team-mates have to brush up on the dirty side of their game before they can claim to be true RBS 6 Nations challengers.
The Edinburgh back has been a key component of a Dark Blue attack that leads the way in terms of championship tries so far.
The Scots notched up two touchdowns in their opening-day defeat to England before running in another four in their 34-10 success over Italy last time out.
But both games gave cause for concern at the breakdown as Scotland struggled to develop quick ball to their pacy runners.
Now Visser has urged his team-mates to stiffen their resolve in the tackle if they are to mount a credible challenge to the Six Nations title.
The Dutch-born player, who has along with fellow wing Sean Maitland and full-back Stuart Hogg contributed four tries as part of a potent back three, said: "It's a vast improvement from where we have been in the past in terms of finishing.
"It's good to see that right across the back three but it is perhaps disguising where we are as a team.
"We need to look at the fundamentals of our game. We need to look at the tackle contests, our defence, our breakdown. Those are all important areas we need to improve on.
"We are making up for that by scoring tries, which is never a bad thing, but to become a more better side we need to look at those fundamentals.
"But the Italy performance was a good first step. We scored a lot of tries and the scoreboard looked brilliant.
"However, against some of the other teams in the Six Nations, we will get it a lot tougher and if we don't get these fundamentals right, we won't be able to score those tries."
Ireland visit Murrayfield this Sunday looking to extend a run of victories that stretches back to their only Edinburgh defeat of the Six Nations-era in 2001.
Visser, though, is unconcerned by what the record books say.
"The past is the past," he said. "We can't do anything about that. A lot of the players in this squad were not in those sides. Whatever happened in the past has nothing to do with what we can do in the future."
The Ireland side that runs out in the Scottish capital will, however, bear little resemblance to the team which pushed England close in a 12-6 defeat in Dublin.
Declan Kidney, the Irish coach, has made five changes to his starting line-up as a result of injury and suspension but Visser insists the quality of Scotland's opposition will remain high.
He said: "Whatever Ireland side is going to be out there, it will be full of passion.
"Traditionally, they like Murrayfield. They like coming over here. They are a good team, no matter who plays, so we are not looking at it like a weakened side is facing us.
"Ireland will be very physical. The first 20 minutes will be hell on earth.
"They are going to unleash everything they have against us. If we can ride out that first 20 minutes then we are in with a chance. It's very important we get off to a good start."
Five defeats in last year's competition earned Scotland the Wooden Spoon but the win over Italy has at least eased fears of another barren campaign.
However, with only France yet to register a victory after two rounds of this year's event, Scotland could yet end up bottom of the pile, Visser warned.
Looking further up the standings, therefore, has become imperative.
He said: "Looking at the table, a lot of teams have now picked up a win, so the tournament is now winnable with a loss, but you can also end up bottom of the table with a win.
"It's very important that we now move on to the Ireland game.
"Do we believe the tournament is winnable? Well I do, otherwise I wouldn't play for Scotland.
"Most of us are very optimistic. We all believe in Scotland and believe in each other.
"Realistically we have not set any targets. Coming on the back of the Autumn internationals and those three losses (to New Zealand, South Africa and Tonga), we need to be realistic and take it one game at a time."
