Life On Feeling Young
posted by December 1 at 9:39 AMon
Old Joan Collins recently came out against "a culture obsessed with youth," arguing that "being young doesn't last. For most of your natural life, you will be classified as middle-aged or old," and, besides, "you are as young as you look and feel." Collins is noted for her "sexy" appearance which defies her terrific age, 73. And often young women come up to her and say things like: "I hope I look as good as you do when I'm your age." All of this is, as you can see, very, very sad. Collins is just an old woman; she is no "spring chicken." Her youth has long gone; it vacated her face, her flesh, her bones, her breasts; and what remains is the damage done by gravity, time, wind, and the rays of the sun.
Creams, surgery, diet, exercise—none of these can restore the youth of an old woman or man. Over here, we have the young; over there, the old. If the old confront the youth on the grounds of their youth—a young, fresh, life-full body—then they will lose badly. As for society, it has one very good reason to worship youth: because it is, as Collins points out, short-lived (between 15 and 25). It is the body at its peak moment. The body at its single moment of perfection.
Finally, this business of "feeling youthful" is a bankrupt business when your body looks old. The power of the old must not be drawn from pity, which is what Collins is ultimately, secretly, skillfully asking for—recognize a septuagenarian's youthful heart, not their sagging breasts. It is better that the power of the old be like that which we find in the old man, Cephalus, in Plato's Republic. When Cephalus is asked by Socrates what it's like to be old, he says it's not so bad, it's fine, it's bearable, provided you have money. Money not for rare, rejuvenating creams, nor for buying young lovers, but to payback all the sins you committed when your body was the king, when you fucked everything and fucked everyone over. From Cephalus's point of view, being old is really about giving your past actions serious consideration, being thoughtful, repayment for wrongs, and confronting the fact of death. True, Socrates doesn't think very highly of Cephalus's approach, but at least it is one that recognizes being old is not about being (feeling, acting) young.

An extensive theoretical and research literature on organizational change and its implementation has been accumulating over the past fifty years. It is customary in this literature to find resistance to change mentioned as an inevitable consequence of organizational change initiatives. Yet there has been little discussion of the nature and forms of resistance that is institutionalized in organizational structure and processes. Furthermore, organization development perspectives on organizational change address management-initiated change, but not change proposed by advocates for the powerless and disadvantaged. Focussing on institutionalized resistance from the standpoint of the advocate of fundamental change, this discussion proposes a typology consisting of a sequence of forms of active resistance to change, from denial through inaction to repression. The typology is illustrated by referring to responses of organizational decision makers to the efforts of employment equity change agents to address issues of systemic discrimination in the work place. The purpose of the typology is to assist change advocates, such as equality seekers, to name, analyze and think strategically about the institutionalized resistance they encounter, and about effective responses to the resistance.

Some Emperors weigh more than 100 pounds.-Kelly
|Emperor Penguin - Ananya
Emperor penguins are the largest of all penguins, with an average length of 45 inches (115 centimeters).
The scientific name for the emperor penguin is Aptenodytes forsteri.
They spend their entire life on Antarctic ice and in its waters. They have several adaptations to help them survive in their environment. Their bodily fat like blubber helps them keep warm in the cold weather.They huddle in huge groups to stay warm.

Emperors are the biggest penguin- Kelly
|Emperor Penguins, Family, Antarctica Photographic Print by David Tipling
|Emperor Penguin Family
|As soon as the egg is laid (penguins lay one or two eggs at a time), the female dashes out for dinner, leaving the male to watch the nest.
When the female returns (it can take up to two weeks for her to come back) it's the male's turn to head out for food, leaving the female with the egg.
When the chick hatches, it immediately starts calling so that its parents will learn to recognize its voice.
Emperor penguins are the largest penguin species. They are nearly 4 feet tall and weigh up to 90 pounds. Those are BIG penguins!
Emperor penguins are easily identifiable by their size and the orange "glow" on their cheeks.
Emperor penguins live, year round, in the Antarctic. Temperatures can fall as low as -140 degrees Fahrenheit (-60 degrees Celsius).Most penguin species lay two eggs at a time, but due to the difficulty of raising chicks in such a harsh climate, the Emperor penguin only lays one egg.
Most penguin species take turns warming the egg, but it's up to the Emperor penguin dads to do all the work once the egg is laid. The male stands with the egg on his feet under a brood pouch (for warmth). He does this for up to 9 weeks, without food, waiting for the chick to hatch. During this time,the male may lose up to half its body weight.
Once the egg hatches, the female returns and the male heads out to the ocean to feed.
Scientific genus and species: Aptenodytes forsteri

|Once the chick is strong enough, both parents head for the ocean at the same time. The chicks are left in a group together (sort of like a daycare). When the penguin parents return with dinner they recognize their chick by its voice.-KIDZONE-FAITH
Emperor PenguinsThe largest of the family, Emperor penguins are known to be the only species that reproduce in the harsh winters. Here are some facts about Emperor penguins and their behavioral patterns.
The Emperor penguins are the largest of the different kinds of species that are present in the cold waters of the Antarctic. This is also the only kind of species that breeds in the winters of the Antarctic. An adult Emperor penguin can stand up to 115 cm in height. These are also certain distinct features and behavioral patterns of the Emperor penguins.
Facts about Emperor Penguins:
- When it comes to keeping themselves warm, the Emperor Penguins are known to use very clever ideas. Here, the Emperor penguins clump together in a mass and take their turns moving to the inside of the group. This protects them from the icy cold temperatures and keeps them warm.
- Emperor penguins have colorful feathers around their necks and heads. These have yellow ear patches that fade into the white of the breast feathers. In case of Emperor penguin chicks, they have a distinctive plumage with a large face patch, which is white in color.
- The winter season arrives in the month of March in Antarctica. Almost all creatures are known to leave the area except the Emperor penguins, because this is the only animal that spends the winter season breeding on the freezing ice.
- The Emperor penguins are known to use a distinctive set of sounds to establish the individual identity. These are different when it comes to the parents and the offspring.
- The female Emperor penguin lays a single egg and leaves it to travel the open sea. The female Emperor penguins are known to travel up to 50 miles. The male Emperor penguin takes care of the egg by balancing it on his feet. The egg is covered with the brood pouch, which keeps the eggs warm. During this time, the Emperor penguins are known to be almost without any food intake for about 65 days.
- The female Emperor penguins are known to return after two months from the sea. This is the time they come with food to feed the hatched chicks. With the arrival of the female emperor penguins, the male Emperor penguins then leave for the sea to hunt on their own. This is time when the female Emperor penguins take care of the young ones in the brood pouch.
- The Emperor penguins usually feed on fish, krill and squid. Their dives are the longest and even the deepest as compared to any other species of penguins. They are known to dive to a depth of 1,800 feet. This is what enables them to source food which other birds cannot even have access to.
- The Emperor penguins are known to stay faithful to their partners. They mate once a year and many times end up with other partners the next year if they are unable to locate their previous partners.
- The adult penguins are known to leave their young ones in a group of chicks, which are called crèches. This is done when they need to go and fish in the deep waters.
- This species are also known to be very social in their behavior. This is the reason why they are also seen huddled together sometimes to keep themselves warm.
- The Emperor penguin is known to reach the sexual maturity at around 5 years of age. They are known to begin their courtship around the months of March or April and are also known to travel over 50 miles inland to their breeding sites.
- These species are also very good swimmers and have a hydro dynamically shaped body. This is what helps them in the diving process and also makes it easy to find food for itself. These creatures are known to be very graceful and extremely fast in the water. These are also known to hold their breath for up to 20 minutes when they are swimming in the cold waters.
- There is also a certain kind of a hierarchy amongst the Emperor penguins. The penguins always follow the leader.

This was my first time skiing outside of California, and I have to say I'm impressed. As a regular Mammoth Mountain visitor, my standards are rather high, but it didn't seem to matter here.
First off, it's significantly larger than Mammoth. In fact, if you look at skiiable acres (not including backcountry stuff) it's half again as large. Not only does this mean there's tons of skiing, but it also makes the lines shorter because everyone is spread across more terrain.
Second, lines were practically non-existent aside from the two express lifts at the lodge, which are used to get to some of the easier runs and the rest of the mountain. Even those took a couple minutes at the most to get through - a far cry from the 15+ minutes you'll have to wait on occasion at Mammoth.
Despite being there in what is arguably one of Big Sky's worst winters in recent history, the snow wasn't TOO bad. It was a bit icy in places, which made skiing a bit difficult (not helped by the cheap rental skis with nothing for edges), but after talking with some of the locals, I came to the conclusion that the snow is actually pretty good most of the time.
It does happen to be a bit windy, especially in the afternoon, but wear a good jacket, gloves, and maybe even a ski mask, and you should be fine.
(Also, if you tour Montana State University, ask for coupons and you'll get some huge discounts on lift tickets)

Just discovered that you Ninja's are working on a POS plugin. I would certainly love to have this. My customer wants to do both online sales AND shop sales via his website.
Apart from what I have seen in this beta, output to a small cash receipt printer and money drawer will be needed as well as scan input to retrieve the prooduct. With the Search All plugin this is easy. Just adde the EAN/UPC code to the meta data of the product. I've used this.
I was thinking of writing a plugin that acts as a shopping cart with printed output. After sale the cart is empty again, ready for the next shop counter sale. Essential is minimal actions needed for the shopkeeper/cashier. scanning a barcode should be enoufh to enter the product in the cart.
Is there a way to keep me updated aboutthis particular project/plugin?

I currently have a wordpress blog on http://domain1.com/blog
I want to move this to http://domain2.com
http://domain1.com/blog and http://domain2.com are hosted on two different hosts.
This is what I did so far:
Installed WordPress (using fantastico) on http://domain2.com
Downloaded wp-content folder of http://domain1.com/blog using FTP and uploaded it to http://domain2.com
Exported sql database of http://domain1.com/blog (from phpmyadmin)
Replaced all occurrences of http://domain1.com/blog to http://domain2.com (using notepad++)
Imported this sql file to http://domain2.com (using phpmyadmin)
The problem now is...
I am unable to login to http://domain2.com/wp-admin/ using the username and password which was working fine when I installed.
Another problem is when I point my browser to http://domain2.com it displays the home page fine BUT when click on the pages, it throws a 404.
One more weird thing I noted it, after importing the edited sql my new domain's admin user name has got changed back to the username which was referred by my old domain. How could this be possible? I had to login to my new domain's phpmyadmin and reset the password to be able to login.
When I logged in... another surprise. I was able to see only 'Dashboard' and 'Profile' tabs. No other tabs (like Pages, Posts, Appearance, etc) were visible.
Can someone come forward to help me out with this issue please? It is a client's site so can not give out the original data. But if you can be kind enough to help me fix this, I can mail you the details.

Scott Turow's Retrial
The king of legal thrillers is back with a sequel to 'Presumed Innocent'
For nearly two decades, Scott Turow resisted writing a sequel to his 1987 best seller "Presumed Innocent." The novel, a fast-paced courtroom drama about a prosecutor accused of murdering his mistress and co-worker, sold more than four million copies in the U.S. and helped popularize the legal-thriller genre.
At age 61, however, with his kids grown and his marriage to painter Annette Turow recently ended after more than 35 years together, Mr. Turow is revisiting the tale. "I wanted to write about him turning 60, as I was," he says.
In "Innocent," out next Tuesday, Rusty Sabich is 20 years older and an appellate court judge. After being acquitted of murder charges years ago, he's tried for murder again after his wife dies suddenly in her sleep.
A lot has changed for Mr. Turow, a former federal prosecutor, in the years since his debut novel landed on the best-seller list. He's written seven more novels, all set in Kindle County, the fictional community where "Presumed Innocent" took place.
Marriage is central to the drama in "Innocent." Sabich contemplates divorce after years in an unhappy marriage and has an affair with a young lawyer. His wife, Barbara, is bipolar and prone to jealous outbursts. Sabich stays with her in part because she's been suicidal.
"I expect to get a lot of questions about my former marriage with this book," Mr. Turow says of the book's bleak depiction of a fraying marriage. He adds that he's not sure how to answer questions about the parallels, beyond noting that he and his former wife have three children and made an effort to stay together.
Unlike most lawyers-turned-blockbuster writers, including John Grisham and Richard North Patterson, Mr. Turow continues to practice law, specializing in white-collar crimes and death-penalty cases. He often goes years without publishing. To promote "Innocent," a sequel to a best seller that has faded somewhat from public memory, Mr. Turow's publisher, Grand Central, is angling to reach old fans and new readers with TV ads during shows like "Bones" and "Law & Order: SVU."
Mr. Turow spent the week leading up to a major book launch touring the Northeast with his band. The Rock Bottom Remainders, a classic rock cover band, is comprised of best-selling authors including Dave Barry, Stephen King, Amy Tan and Mitch Albom.
"Whatever I've added to culture, after this performance, I'll be back to zero," the short and boyish-looking Chicago native said during a reception before the concert at a Times Square theater. He later ran on stage wearing a curly pink wig, and belted an energetic solo of the 1960s hit "Hey Baby."

This is a fabulous dress. The colours are vibrant & on-trend. Beautifully made & lined & extremely comfortable to wear. Excellent value for money. I receive loads of compliments every time I wear it!
I bought this dress last Thursday and teamed it with the pale yellow bolero jacket. Would have given 5stars if the straps were adjustable. I will either pin it or have it altered.

So out of the player and the ref, you think it is the ref that needed to change his behavior?
Wow, I mean WOW!
I think the player was 100% out of line. All fault to the player.
The ref did what he was supposed to do. No fault to the ref.
If that is all you think of refs, perhaps we should have refs officiate the game from a safety booth, like up by the announcers box. Or better yet, let the animals play soccer with no officials. Just let them play as rough as they want. If they assault each other, okay. Want to go sign your kids up for that?

It is remarkable that someone like you, who postures himself as supremely merciful and forgiving, obviously thinks, simultaneously, that it is okay to punch people. You asked: "At any age, including when you were a minor, have either of you ever shoved, pushed, or punched anyone?"
No, I haven't, MormonSean, as a matter of fact. How about that.
But that doesn't make any difference. Punching people in the face or head is a remarkably VIOLENT act. It is alarming that you would think that it is normal, or okay. I think your attitude is extremely dangerous to society.
And regarding the "minor" punch. Witness reports indicate that the punch was a POWERFUL blow to the head. The initial injury was THOUGHT to be minor. However, not all injuries are visible or obvious at first.
And it is horrifying that your compassion for the perpetrator seems to have eclipsed your sympathy for the deceased and his family.
You yourself are not able to bring the deceased back to life. Therefore you really have no right to suggest that the perpetrator be given a pass in the name of "forgiveness."
I recommend you do some serious soul searching.

People need to be held accountable for their actions. I don't care what his excuse is it is not valid, Someone is dead. We all need to be less self absorbed, our society is paying the price for selfishness everywhere. We must start drawing a line in the sand so selfishness and ego have no payoff. There is a spiritual reason for all of this but what is important is what happens here in the physical world. Let's enforce the laws on the books and let this deters others in making these same senseless mistakes.

I am just stupefied at that situation. I can only hope this person goes to prison for doing something that nasty. People give of their time and love to coach young people, I use to coach little league baseball, parents got so vile I moved the game to the afternoon when most were working. I tried to tell them not to criticize the boys, sadly they kept going. Its bad enough when a young man strikes out or makes a bad play, they don't need to hear it from the parents. I hope each of you will act in goodness and if you see anyone acting up mention something to them about it. this tradgedy should of never happened, and the excuse I didn't think I hit him that hard is hardly plausible.

A little over two hours left in the auction and there are still zero bids. I'm almost tempted to buy it myself for $100 because you could sell the Bandsaw and the Jointer for more than that.

Yeah, I saw this sparring yesterday. It was interesting because Diaz has a weird style but he was being effective with it. He was able to pressure Henry and land some good hard shots. He was also able to cut off the ring and really step in close to Henry. When I was watching this video Diaz reminded me of Margarito and how he throws those slow ass punches but how they have so much weight behind them. It was a good video. Good for Diaz if he is serious about boxing and if he respects the sport.

are we watching the same video? Diaz landed very little, and in particular at 1:46ish he was actually getting clocked with right hands a bit too often, so he might not want to use that defense style too much.

Web Librarian looks terrific.
Other alternatives I've looked at have included a Call Number, used to physically locate books. They use bar codes for asset ownership (or patrons), and ISBN for links to publishers.
Call number is specific to a particular library. I didn't spot it in my read through of the documentation. Did I miss it?

I'd not seen this kind of site hijacking before, perhaps it's been around and I live in a cave, but it still sucks.
I have a site called oldknowhow.com and I haven't been on there in a good long while, (One of those someday... type-projects) and decided I wanted to write a new article. Get on my Dashboard and I noticed that jetpack is reporting my top searches are coming from cosplaybay.com. I though to myself, that's interesting, I wonder what that is, so I check it out.
Well, it's my site loaded in an iframe and somehow they have managed to replace all my google ad code with their own, but still display my site in its entirety.
What I did was add the javascript found on this great webpage: http://www.willmaster.com/library/web-development/URL-masking.php to my index.php
None of the iframe break-out plugins worked, none of my .htaccess tricks worked, but this code did!
I'm putting it into every site I own after this experience.

The Elder Scrolls 4: Shivering Isles (PlayStation3)
From GameWinners
Add to this page!
Evidence chest
At the southern most point of the Shivering Isles,
south of Madgod's Beet, is a cave called Corpserot Prison. Inside
at the very beginning of the cave, you will find the evidence
chest. It is in both Mania and Dementia. Note: On your map, Corpserot
Prison is called Corpserot Passage.
Death Decree
Somewhere near Dunroot Burrow upon a hilltop are a
couple slabs of stone. On those slabs of stone is a dead person,
with a Potion of Nighteye nearby, some skeletons, and a note.
The note is called "Death Decree". Pick it up and read
it. It says that a man named "Robert Wisnewski" was
sentenced to death by Sheogorath. Robert Wisnewski is on the Bethesda
staff list. The reason for his death sentence was for trying to
grow a beard (in which you cannot have a beard except for Sheogorath
in Elder Scrolls).

Crucible: Fight club
Go to the roof area of Crucible at night to encounter two citizens fighting each other in front of an audience. The Orc bartender will say that this is a private society and that you should not interfere. Sneak behind the Orc and unlock the jewelry box on the bar to find a not with more information. Also, completing "The Lady of Paranoia" during the main storyline will allow you to find a note labeled "Liturgy of the Duelists" on Muurine's corpse, which is a reference to this fight club.
Hill Of Suicides: Defeating ghosts
To defeat the ghosts that cannot be attacked, push them off the cliff on one side of the hill to drop their health. Repeat the process until they are gone.
Finding lettuce and yarn
Sheogorath's Daedric Quest requires offerings of lettuce and yarn. To find them, search for the busts of Sheogorath located throughout New Sheoth. Beneath or beside most of them are lettuce and yarn.
The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind reference
In Bliss, there is an Argonian named Big Head.
Big Head's quest is to find The Fork of Horripilation. In The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind, there is an Argonian that lives
on the island farthest to the northwest of the Sheograth Region.
In Morrowind, sitting on Big Head's table is The Fork of
Missing dialogue
Have a Golden Saint Soldier (a male Golden Saint) follow you back to Cyrodiil after completing the quest where you help the Golden Saints retake their stronghold from the Forces of Order. He speaks to you as usual in Shivering Isles when you talk to him, but when you try talking to the Golden Saint Soldier in Cyrodiil, he will say nothing and the subtitle will display "I HAVE NO GREETING". This is probably the placeholder for the greeting that characters give you when you engage them in conversation, which is put in before the greeting is programmed. Note: This only works if you follow the path where you become Duke of Dementia as this quest where you meet the Golden Saint Soldier will not be part of your questline otherwise.

Utah Jazz determined to 'take care of business'
SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Jazz's locker room was, as you might expect, a pretty happy place Wednesday night.
Players were smiling in the Rose Garden. They were eagerly answering reporters' questions about red-hot shooting, postseason positioning and their overall effort. They were laughing and joking with each other.
But another attitude prevailed inside of that pleasant place.
With a week to go in the season, the Jazz have fought, scraped and overcome obstacles to get themselves into a sweet position in which their own play will determine their fate.
In the next seven days, it doesn't matter what fellow postseason wannabes Phoenix and Houston do.
If the Jazz win their next three games — all at home — against the Magic, Suns and Blazers, they'll earn a playoff spot. It's that simple. If Utah can up its current record of 33-30 to 36-30 in games in which it will be favored, second-year coach Tyrone Corbin and crew will be pitted against either San Antonio or Oklahoma City for a first-round matchup.
If they lose even one of their next three contests, however, they could be lottery-bound.
But they're in a position not many thought they would be coming into this condensed season, which was supposed to be a rebuilding bridge to the future.
That's why Wednesday's post-game celebration of a blowout win over Portland that helped vault the Jazz into the enviable No. 8 spot in the Western Conference was a bit restrained.
After sitting out last year, the Jazz want to be in the playoffs again next weekend.
And there's work to be done to get there.
"It's not about being in with three games to go. It's about being in when the last buzzer goes off at the last game," Jazz center Al Jefferson said. "So you know it's there for us. We just got to continue to take care of business. We've got three games left and we've got to win all three of them. That's what we've got to do."
Let that soak in for a moment.
Just a year after the organization seemed to be headed to lottery limbo for who knew how long — following the resignation of Hall of Fame coach Jerry Sloan, the trading of star Deron Williams and the historically bad second-half collapse — this franchise is only three wins away from securing its 25th trip to the playoffs since 1984.
With a fairly new head coach.
And four contributors between 19 and 22 years old.
And some key veterans trying to prove they can produce for winning teams.
And despite losing four regulars to injuries.
The Jazz's resiliency this season is a testament to the culture of winning that has prevailed in this organization for the past three decades. Players, coaches and personnel have continued to bounce back as if they're personally taking to heart the quote from late owner Larry H. Miller that is visible at the entryway of the locker room that reads:
"Nobody laid down. Nobody quit. Nobody left anything in the locker room. It was all out there on the floor. … I've always said to our guys, 'I'll never ask you to win, but I will ask you to give us everything you've got.' "
With this Utah team — as in the past — that's not just a neat saying.
It's an attitude of determination — another witness that heart isn't measured by championships.
"Larry's not with us anymore," Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor said when the idea of tanking was recently brought up. "But I guarantee one thing, that's what he said, 'Play and then see what happens.' "

Ledyard - The Board of Education has begun the process of conducting a forensic audit of Ledyard High School's Central Activities Fund, voting to pay up to $12,000 to public accounting firm BlumShapiro.
Though the education budget undergoes an annual audit along with the town government budget and the Water Pollution Control Authority - and Superintendent Cathy Patterson said individual schools' central activity accounts are audited "periodically" - this audit would address funds outside of the voter-approved budget.
"I have some concerns about practices and procedures we use to manage the account," Patterson said, later adding, "I'm just asking for a little more detail."
Patterson offered no further comment on the nature of the audit.
A forensic audit would yield a more in-depth review than the state-mandated annual audit, said Gordon Strickland, chairman of the Board of Education's Finance Committee.
"This is beyond the usual," he said.
The Central Activities Fund is where high school clubs, athletic teams, classes and student fundraisers pool their money, said Bill Merrill, the district's business manager. Each school in the district has an account for this purpose, and donations can also be made to them.
The use of a forensic audit implies the investigation of a "narrowly focused problem," said Mike France, chairman of the Town Council's Finance Committee. Of the approximately $60,000 the town spends annually to audit its budgets, about $22,000 is allocated to monitor education spending.
Merrill said the district has not made use of a forensic audit in recent memory.
The Board of Education agenda cited possible legal action "to protect school district's rights" as its reason for closing the discussion to the public in an executive session Feb. 19. Patterson, Ledyard High School Principal Amanda Fagan and Human Resources Administrator Donald Steinhoff were all invited to attend along with the seven members of the board.
But Board of Education Chairman Julia Cronin declined to comment on whether legal action was involved in the discussion.
After coming out of executive session, the board voted unanimously to authorize Patterson to hire BlumShapiro.
"We are constantly looking at practices and procedures for everything that we do," Cronin said. "It's just a matter of taking a closer look at how we do things."
"We felt that (a forensic audit) was the best route to take," she later added.
Fagan declined to comment.

Was that post sponsored by the American Enterprise Institute...?
In addition to Ayaan Hirsi Ali's biography, Infidel, I want to recommend the book While Europe Slept by Bruce Bawer for people who are interested in this. He's a little to the right of what I believe (though he's a socially liberal homosexual), but he makes a convincing case that Europe--and really the whole world--has a lot to lose by tolerating extreme intolerance.
They sure as heck ain't in Saudi Arabia or Yemen.
From my understanding, the reason why Islam can seem so alien to Westerners is because one very prominent way Muslims understand their faith is the following:
1) Mohammed was the LAST prophet. As in, the prophesies that make up the Qu'ran represent God's last intervention to help human beings to behave morally. If you don't buy in to the Qu'ran, you've missed the boat forever.
2) The Qu'ran is not just prophesy in the sense that Mohammed simply interpreted God's will the best he could. Mohammed was the conduit for God's word, verbatim. This means that the words of the Qu'ran are ultimate truth, and the most beautiful words written. It is the perfect text, and to defile it is literally to defile God.
These two features put together are the textbook definition of religious fundamentalism. And, while there might be other ways of interpreting Islam, Islam as I understand it is DEFINED by these features. These features are, I think, antithetical to precepts of freedom of speech and cultural relativism.
However, there does appear to be question about whether or not the Qu'ran condones violence in defense of these principles. The notion of Jihad, for example, is very much contested within Islam. I am guessing that there is also question about the correct application of Islamic law to, for example, non-believers. Further, whether or not the Qu'ran says it is permissible to punish someone by whipping them, being permissible and being mandatory are two different things.
The role of Mufti, Sheiks, and other Islamic scholars is to interpret the Qu'ran and issue "fatwas" or opinions about how to apply Islamic teachings to everyday life. The question is the degree to which these scholars all interpret the Qu'ran and the hadiths (stories of the acts of Mohammed and his followers) in the same way. What is the range of interpretation? For example, is it possible that Muslims might want to hold themselves to even higher standards of compassion and forgiveness towards transgressors that the Qu'ran demands--i.e. by not whipping people?
The question of the meaning and weight of words here is key. We Westerners tend to feel that words don't mean that much--otherwise we could not have a first amendment. Our conflict with Islam, as I see it, is at bottom a hermeneutic one.
I recall several news stories about moderate Muslims condemning the sentence, and I didn't search them out, either. If neither Ali nor you (nor, say, Glenn Beck) saw them, you weren't paying attention.
Bigoted question, is more like it.
All the moderate Muslims are the same place all us moderate Christians are: holed up in our liberal churches reading poetry, singing Beatles songs, and reminding ourselves that the fundies don't represent our faith. I can't fault moderate Muslims for doing the same.
Normally, I think you are spot on with your assessments, etc. However, in this case, what you are inferring is ridiculous. In today's political climate, it is not easy to self-identify as a Muslim (at least in the US or Europe). I have many friends who are quite angered by these things, but in many ways this anger comes, not because they are moderate muslims, but because they are human and care about others. I am angry when some wacko fundamentalist Christian does something, but I tend not to say "I am moderate Christian, and I think that is wrong". I feel no need to identify as Christian when making this value judgement because most people just accept that Christian fundamentalism is extreme, unlike with contemporary notions of Islam. The fact is for most Muslims they do not want these issues to be seen as a problem with Islam but rather as a problem with some crazy ass country/leader. SO instead of looking for the moderate muslims out there, why don't we just look for more people in those countries to fix these problems. Where are the Saudis, muslim or not, who will stand up to this? Where are he Sudanese that will fight back? How can we find them and help them speak out? These should be your questions.
As a former muslim who grew up in a muslim society, i agree 100% with what Ayaan said.
The more strictly you follow Islam, the more you take all the wife beating and lashing verses seriously. The only reason every single muslim is not violent is not because islam is a religion of peace, but because they're good humans who're ignoring and not following the core tenets of this ideology which oppresses women, gays, nonmuslims, apostates etc. Similar to the good jews/christians who're ignoring the violent aspects of the OT.
But a significant % of the muslims do take the quran seriously, and when they do, you get the violent hateful ideology, because in the end, quran is full of hatred against anyone not a male muslim.
Christians may do a lot of crazy things, but they don't typically advocate killing anyone who doesn't think exactly like them. And to even compare the abuse that women and homosexuals experience in Christian nations to what goes on in many, if not most, Islamic nations is just absurd. The author of this editorial--Ayaan Hirsi Ali--is an ex-Muslim who could easily be killed for her beliefs any day. It seems that those saying Dan Savage raised a "bigoted question" are ignorant about what Islamists actually believe and the influence they have.
Dan, do you really want to know where the moderates are? The answer is always this: the moderates never get headlines because they're, well, moderate. How often, for instance, as The Stranger covered moderate religion in Seattle? How many blog articles are there about moderates in Slog? None, zip, zilch, nada, nunca.
Oh, about the Seattle Times' religion columnists. The whole religion page recently disappeared from the Seattle Times. It's been a feature of the paper for decades, but is now gone. The columnists are still there, but are now on a random page in the Saturday local section. Another example of media ignoring the importance of recognizing the role of moderate religion.
Here's the link you requested: Muslims must resist violence over insult to prophet
you go ayaan, AEI or not.
fuck monotheism.
"It is often said that America has been hijacked by a small extremist group of radical neocons. The vast majority of Americans are said to be moderates.
But where are the moderates? Where are the American voices raised over the terrible injustice of incidents like these? How many American are willing to stand up and say, in the case of military interrogation tactics in the CIA, willingness to kidnap Britons, destruction of evidence by the White House and its lackeys, that this manner of governance is appalling, brutal and bigotedand that no matter who said it was the right thing to do, and how long ago it was said, this should no longer be done?"
Muslim Moderates come out to complain about these stories all the time. They usually get mentioned at the tail end of the stories after the more incendiary details of Muslim hardliners demanding biblical justice.
The Muslim Council of Britain and CAIR usually bend over backwards to state most Muslims don't follow this logic.
The teddy-bear story has more to do with the Sudan and Darfur than with Muslim extremism.
I posted a bunch of links to back up my claim, but the Slog Spam blocker ate them.
@14 Americans are too lazy.
Unprecedented illegal data-mining? Maybe i will make some angry sounding posts on a blog.
An ongoing war conducted unconscionably by both parties? Someone else will be president in 14 months so why bother getting off the couch, even if the DLC will just continue in Iraq the same way Bush has, they are too scared of being soft to do anything meaningful in American foreign policy
@14 and 16
Because the moderates don't own the media.
Olbermann is maybe the only moderate on a major News Network. The rest is owned and opperated by sociopathic Corporate Libertarians. The majority has been locked out of public media for the most part.
Plus our couches are very comfortable.
Lutherans don't get a lot of press either, as an example of moderate Christians.
@5 -- Thanks for the insight. Very nice summary.
@18 ever been to a Missouri Synod Lutheran Church? they are pretty conservative; there are exceptions to every rule
@20: They're extremely conservative, yes. So is the Wisconsin Synod. The thing is, you *have* to go to one of their churches to find that out. They tend to keep it to themselves. You don't see Lutherans going on TV to hawk their beliefs. You don't see them accosting people on street corners. You don't see them using their faith to try to get a leg up while running for public office. You don't see them writing websites advocating killing abortion doctors.
I think this type of religious conservatism is perfectly OK. People can live by strict rules if they want to; they just shouldn't expect to force everyone else to do so as well.
that is true Orv, liberal society seems willing to tolerate very conservative religious communities as long as they are relatively self-contained, and keep to themselves
the same way America tolerates the Amish, a religious sect that can disobey the law (not paying taxes or getting immunizations) merely because they keep to themselves and aren't really a growth industry.
You know, Dan ... I'm going to guess that all those moderate Muslims are hanging out in the same place as all the moderate Christians who, for some reason, don't tell their homophobic, judgmental, persecutory neighbors to back off. I realize that these are different circumstances, of course; the situations seem totally different to many, and that's fair. But I say give international Muslims centuries at the top of an exploitative colonial game in which money becomes more important than God, and they will look and sound just like our more local monotheistic neighbors who hold a statistical majority. The only reason that our local neighbors aren't killing people is that they've found something more important to them than bloodshed and God, and that's money.
You want the "Muslims" to "civilize"? Give them something to lose. You want the "moderates" to speak up against their more extreme fellows in any redemptive, monotheistic religion? Good fuh-reekin' luck.
Yeah! Where are their voices, man? I mean, for example, the power of our American moderate voices has practically almost shut down Guantanamo, ended the Iraqi occupation, restored habeas corpus, and halted illegal wiretapping of our emails and phone calls! Our loud, loud voices are very effective, so why aren't they inspired over there to follow our example? All they need to do is post, and then comment some, and their rulers will reverse course as ours are probably just about to do! Go online, Islamic moderates! You have nothing to lose but your sense of what constitutes effective political action!
Thanks Dan for bringing up the male victim in the rape case. I knew that from somewhere (Juan Cole?) but was beginning to believe that I made it up in my mind because a group of media darlings have begun to shape the story. Female rape = awful. Male rape = undecided.
A moderate person would not stand up to such injustice. Only an extreme person will stand up for what is right.
Pretty simple logic, really...
Very disappointed to read this coming from Dan Savage.
Thank you, #6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 23, 24.
The Times religion columnists are freelance writers, and thus must give permission for their columns to appear in the archives. Apparently they did not.
@28, as I posted above @12 the columns are in the archives. The one Dan requested is linked there.

I'm trying to connect my WordPress site to Jetpack and am getting a message that says that Jetpack is unable to connect. After doing a bit of searching I think I figured out that is it because I currently have xmlrpc.php blocked in my .htaccess file to try to negate that xmlrpc probing hack attempt that is still ongoing.
Below is what is currently in my .htaccess file. Is there a way to reconfigure this so that Jetpack is let through, but all others are blocked?

This is for an expert.
Ideally the winner will speak good english and be happy to Skype / Facetime if required.
Regarding payment. We will allow one milestone of 20% only in advance.

I saw a fact which is "Smiling is contagious" and I wrote this one.
Thank you all for your nice comments friends..
sure is!
Cuuute! I smile at ppland find it funny how shocked they are when I do.It's a sad world when smiling results in awide-eyed "what" from ppl...but its kinda cutehow they make that face ^^
The world would be a much better place if everyone took the time to smile.
I tried but people just glare at me like I'm insane. damn it.
Haklısın,kesinlikle. Ama Asıl istediğimiz sadece istediğimiz "bir" kişinin gülmesi . Kimse gülümsemez bana diye yakındığımız zaman aslında o "bir" kişi için yakınmamız...

How To Choose a Toilet
Written by:
The National Energy Act of 1992 required all toilets sold in the United States after January 1, 1994 to use a maximum of 1.6 gallons per flush (gpf).
Flush Type
Dual-flush toilets
- Two different flush types
- Low-flow for fluid waste
- Higher-flow for solid waste
- Save up to 67% water annually
- Typically more expensive
- Most popular type of toilet
- Gravity and water weight generate flush
- Great for inexpensive future repairs
- Commonly for commercial use
- Less prone to clogs
- Provide cleaning action during flush
- Water "jet" pushes water into trapway
- Water pressure "pulls" water from bowl
- Fewer clogs and leaks
Bowl Height
ConfigurationAnother important decision is choosing between a one-piece and two-piece toilet.
One-piece toilets
- Tank and bowl integrated into one piece
- Easier to clean
- Tank is more stable
- Most popular option
- Tank and bowl are two separate pieces
- Typically more affordable
Insulated tank
This option is helpful for homes in high-humidity climates. Insulated tanks help prevent condensation from forming, which can cause premature wear on the surrounding walls and flooring.
This is the path the waste water travels when leaving the toilet during flush. It provides a liquid seal to prevent any backflow of sewer gas without affecting the flow of sewage and waste water. Trapways can be S-shaped or elbow-shaped.
Soft close seat
This is a fantastic option that's ideal for households with children. Soft close seats (along with the lid) close slowly to prevent smashing little fingers, instead of slamming down on the bowl.
If your new toilet doesn't include a seat (and many don't), this is a great option.

A woman is shown in her underwear for nearly half of the movie.A guy describes his colleague having sex with his own mother and then makes a joke out of it.
Despite the lack of graphic detail, the amount of emotion built up ultimately makes the acts of violence just as terrifying as other more explicit films. The violent acts hit hard especially because the victims are extremely sympathetic (done on purpose as a piece of commentary rejecting desensitization to violence by making it all the more painful, on an emotional level), and the only time you think a payoff has occured, it's a fantasy sequence.All but one act of violence occurs off-screen. A man is shot in the chest on screen. That is all. The results of violent acts are shown. For example, the fresh corpses of two characters are shown. Blood from a gunshot wound is shown on the wall. A man is shown lying on the floor with a broken leg; he remains incapacitated with a splint for the rest of the film. Blood soaks through a sheet used to cover a corpse.There are numerous acts of violence which occur off-screen so that only the sounds are heard. For example, a man is struck so that his leg is broken. Gunshots are heard when two characters are killed. The sounds of a stabbing are heard. A dog is quieted.Apart from the gunshot to the chest, perhaps one might consider a slap in the face to be an act of violence. A bag is put over a boy's head. A character is pushed backward off a boat to drown.
The F-word is used five times. The S-word is used ten times. Several of these words are quite indistinct, but they are shown in the subtitles.A few vulgar anatomical terms are used. There are five or six religious profanities.
One character smokes a cigarette. There is some talk about substance abuse.
The suitability of this film can't really be determined from a simple listing of conventionally "graphic" scenes or depictions. While the explicit content of the film is fairly benign, psychologically it is profoundly disturbing. The violence, while not actually shown, is nonetheless very challenging to the viewer, and there is a strong, visceral sense of dread throughout the entire duration of the film. The full impact may not even fully be felt until the very last freeze-frame before the credits.The theme song of the movie is very fast and heavy death metal with screaming and wailing and it may frighten and confuse some viewers.This movie is extremely tense and distressing. As well explained before, the violence is not very explicit; but the movements of the camera and the game that gives the human subconscius makes it really disturbing and disgusting.

Is being a mother an important job?
At a school careers day a while back, my daughter knew what she wanted to dress up as: "I'm going as a mother!" she said. Of course that's FINE. But we talked about how mothers can also be other things, like, y'know, Freudian analysts. In the end she decided to go as Amelia Earhart, whose flying attire is jauntier than that of mothers or shrinks. But in recent years – and indeed...

How much should you supervise playdates?
Another day, another playdate, another late afternoon wrestling with the dilemma: how much do I need to supervise these little monsters? When it's just my daughter and her older brother, I'm content to let them disappear for ages, knowing that the older one will keep the younger from practising flying out of upstairs window, and the little one will tell on the older one taking scissors to the soft toys....

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ A Kansas agency says carbon dioxide emissions will be a factor in issuing air quality permits only when new power plants are involved.
The Department of Health and Environment issued what it called a ``guidance document'' Monday in hope of clarifying its policy.
Department spokeswoman Maggie Thompson said the document is a response to suggestions that the state's regulatory climate is uncertain.
The department and Secretary Rod Bremby have been criticized over Bremby's October 2007 denial of an air-quality permit to Sunflower Electric Power Corp.
The Hays-based utility wants to build two coal-fired power plants in southwest Kansas. Bremby cited potential carbon dioxide emissions in denying the permit.

Lots of comic books mixed in with your movie news today. The latest concerns Shane Black, who famously coined the phrase "Wolfman's got nards!" in his script for The Monster Squad. He also wrote The Last Boy Scout and wrote/directed Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. The man knows his action.
Now he's got his second directing gig lined up: Warner Bros tapped Black to oversee a live-action adaptation of the Japanese manga series Death Note, Deadline reports. Created by writer Tsugumi Ohba and artist Takeshi Obata, the series has done quite well for itself outside of Japan, with 38 million copies of the series' 12 trade paperbacks sold to date worldwide. The script will come from Anthony Bagarozzi and Charles Mondry, whom Black is also working with on Doc Savage for Sony. Dan Lin, Roy Lee, Doug Davison and Brian Witten will produce Death Note.
The story follows Light, a young student who comes to possess a magical notebook which kills anyone whose name is written inside it. Neat, right? Light foolishly decides to use his newfound powers for good and sets out to rid the streets of crime, one ill-gotten name at a time. The deaths Light causes put him in the sights of a famed FBI criminal profiler known only as L. See, he doesn't know the guy's name so he can't actually off him. Clever, G-man. Very clever.
Death Note is popular enough in Japan to have spawned an animated TV series, novels and video games, as well as a trilogy of films released by WB Japan. Will Black be able to sell it to American audiences? I hope so. The idea sounds cool and Black has plenty of cache among the action geeks of the world.
The cartoon and Manga are great. No need to make an American Movie that will probably shit all over the series.
yes yes they should make an american movie of death note

Rate constants for the decay and reactions of the lowest electronically excited singlet state of molecular oxygen in solution10(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.555655View Description Hide Description
The available rate data on the reactivity and physical deactivation of molecular oxygen in its first electronic excited state (1Δg) in liquid solution have been critically compiled. Where possible, relative rates reported in the literature have been normalized to standard values selected by a statistical analysis of the experimental data. Second order rate constants for the deactivation and chemical reaction of singlet oxygen are reported for 670 compounds. Additionally, psuedo first order rate constants (k d ) for solvent deactivation of singlet oxygen are reported for 50 different solvents.

Tables of N2O absorption lines for the calibration of tunable infrared lasers from 522 cm−1 to 657 cm−1 and from 1115 cm−1 to 1340 cm−110(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.555651View Description Hide Description
Data from the literature has been critically selected and refitted by least squares to provide accurate vibrational band centers and rotational constants for three bands of N2O. The line positions of the bands have been calculated from the constants of the fits to provide accurate absorption line positions to serve as wavelength standards in the regions of 522 cm−1 to 657 cm−1 and from 1115 cm−1 to 1340 cm−1 in the infrared.
Microwave spectra of molecules of astrophysical interest. XX. Methane10(1981); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.555652View Description Hide Description
The available data on methane are critically reviewed for information applicable to radio astronomy. Molecular data such as rotational constants, centrifugal distortion constants, and the distortion electric dipole moment are presented for 12CH4 and 13CH4. Observed microwave, infrared‐microwave double resonance, and molecular beammeasurements of (ΔJ = 0) frequencies are tabulated along with experimental uncertainties which represent estimated 95% confidence limits. For 12CH4, these data have been analyzed to predict all Q‐branch rotational transitions for J?20; the predictions are presented with 95% confidence limits which have been calculated from the analysis.
