I believe that many people get confused about the term "Atheist." Is an Atheist just a person who doesn't believe in a supreme being or is there more to it? How does one become Atheist? What is it like be in a world that is dominated by religion? Please give me your feedback on this topic. Help me gain insight on the Atheist community so to speak.
An atheist is just a person who has no belief in gods. There are some atheists who would like atheism to mean more, so you might encounter people who say atheism is more.
The way to become an atheist is as unique as each atheist. Some common reasons that atheists state are: skepticism, actually reading the bible, and realizing that there is no scientific evidence for the existence of a god.
What is it like to be in a world that is dominated by religion? The answer to that is going to depend on the personality of the atheist, the beliefs of the atheist, and the location of the atheist. For me personally being an open atheist has not presented me with problems regarding friends, family or employment. I live in Oregon where such things are generally tolerated by the population and even more so by the law.
Well Becca, I agree with lot u have to say and u are lucky in which where u live and work. I don't feel that lucky. I can't even express my self around work or family. Work i feel it could be a way in which to single me out for layoff or firing.Here -there is about a church on every other block. The family-hushes me if I try to say anything about being atheist or the sins of the christian religion. So, it is very hard to talk or relate to anyone here. People really don't have an open mind in this country as far as the percent of population in my view towards atheism. We are i think as much or equal to gay people. We just need to change. ...........................the one thing i wanted to add was - the way in which one has been brought to think a different way-or go to atheism.. in my case it was 9-11. the question was why do they hate us so much. Which seemed to have nothing to do with religion and everything to do with capitalism. If religion really played the part it should. There wouldn't be any wars. We would be doing what Jesus really intended. Turn the other cheek and help them understand and forgive. For me it was GB#43 - sending people to war with no objection from our so called christian nation and with his renewal of born again faith. God is used to tell ourselves that it is okay now to kill millions in the name of freeing those people and we are on Gods side. ect. The further I dug into this the more I found this country to be a lie-not only of the christian religion but being free and a true free society. thx
"Is an Atheist just a person who doesn't believe in a supreme being or is there more to it?"
This is the only universal element to the term. There can be more to it, but that 'more' is not necessarily universal to all atheists. My atheism, for instance, is not just a disbelief in gods, but is also a line of reasoning and collection of arguments supporting that philosophical position. Outside of my philosophical position, I also have a more visceral belief that there are no gods, and that there is no such thing as the super natural. Let's say we call that k-atheism for the moment. All k-atheists are atheists, but not all atheists are k-atheists.
"How does one become Atheist?"
As mentioned elsewhere, it varies considerably. I have never been a theist in all my life. I have been exposed to religion quite a bit throughout my life, and I've tried to give it a fair shake, but I just don't consider any theistic views I have encountered thus far to be compelling.
"What is it like be in a world that is dominated by religion?"
Religions have incredible clout in the world, but I wouldn't argue that world is dominated by any of them or even by all of them combined. I think people are simpler than that, and power rests with whomever controls essential needs, which is typically governments and corporations. In terms of social values and morality, I think that modern culture often controls religion and not the other way around. Look at how increasingly acceptable homosexuality is in various churches these days.
Where I live, specifically, the largest single group in terms of religious demographics is those with no religious affiliation. Even those that do identify with a religion often don't go to worship services. It's pretty easy to be an atheist here.
1. By definition atheism is an absence of belief in any god or deity. The term definitely has some stigma attached to it, and undeservedly so. Several other ideologies seem to go hand in hand with atheism, but I think that has more to do with the mindset and thinking processes that most atheists share.
2. How you become an atheist is entirely dependent on each individual. Some seem to be born naturally skeptic, and others go through a slow and sometimes painful realization. Poke around the site and you're bound to see stories of how people go to where they are today.
3. I am in the good old bible belt of the USA, and being an atheist here is pretty much committing social suicide. I still stomp around debating people and wearing my beliefs as proudly as anyone, but it is much different than other places in the country. There is a complete lack of trust shown towards atheists and it has slowly eaten away at me down here. For supposedly being a religion who's members don't pass judgement the christians around here sure are vicious about it.
That's interesting. Its amazing that in a place where religion says all people should be loved and treat one another as you would have them treat you, you could feel so out of place because of your beliefs. That is religious oppression at its core. When religion comes up in conversation what are some of the general reactions you receive?
Is an Atheist just a person who doesn't believe in a supreme being or is there more to it?
The word 'a-theist' shouldn't exist. There is no word for disbelief in bigfoot, leprechauns, astrology, phrenology, and Ponzi schemes. I'm an a-theist, but I'm also an a-bigfootist, a-leprechaunist, a-astrologist, a-phrenologist, a-ponzi-ist and an a-hogwash-of-any-kind-ist.
An atheist is someone who rejects theist claims that god or gods exist. That's it. If someone tells you he is an atheist, you know nothing about what he believes. You know one thing he does not believe.
How does one become Atheist?
A theist says God exists. You don't believe him. It may happen gradually or all at once. The details vary too. But that's it.
What is it like be in a world that is dominated by religion?
If you really want to know what it's like: every time you encounter the words God or faith, substitute the word Gnome. I mean it sincerely.
Eventually you say it: Enough! You declare your disbelief in Gnomes. You ask the Gnome-believers to leave you alone.
Now you've done it. The Gnome-believers are enraged. "How dare you!" they scream. They bombard you with threats and insults. The Gnomes will torture you forever! This country was founded on Gnomes! How dare you infringe on my right to believe in Gnomes! A few kinder ones suggest that you keep quiet: just don't say the 'under Gnomes' part of the Pledge! See? All better!
That's a tiny taste of what it's like. God and faith are everywhere, and they poison everything.
Unfortunately the infallible pope is the only human who can reliably talk directly with the Gnomes. He has a red Gnome Phone.
Add to the list:
And there is a Gnome anthem, too. I think it was an Eagles hit. I vaguely remember the chorus goes "Gnome Man's got it made, til He's far beyond the pain, and we who must remain, go on living just the same"
Oh, sure, the song's called My Man but we Gnome worshippers know......
Gnome, gnome on the range, where the deer and the antelope play...

The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: June 27, 2002
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
What are the symptoms of agent orange exposure? Is it associated with cancer?
John Han-Chih Chang, MD and Kenneth Blank, MD, Editorial Assistants for Oncolink, respond:
Dear JA,
Thank you for your interest and question.
Agent orange is a pheno-oxy-herbicide that was used in the past to defoliate areas. The most notable usage was during the Vietnam War, when it was reportedly used to defoliate the forested areas of Vietnam. A component of the herbicide is the highly toxic dioxin, 2,3,7,8-TCDD, which can deposit in the adipose tissues of the body.
Symptoms are variable related to the concentration of the exposure. It has been reported that this dioxin was associated with malignancies. This is a large area of controversy. There are data to support the contention that high exposure to this chemical does cause malignancies in animal models. However, agent orange has not been found to have caused a significant increase in the risk of soft tissue sarcomas, non-hodgkins lymphoma, testicular, primary liver, nasopharyngeal or lung cancer. These are based on retrospective review studies performed on Vietnam War veterans compared to their non-military counterparts.
Jan 26, 2010 - Polyamines, which are concentrated in foods such as orange juice, meat, green peas and corn, may be associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer, according to research presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology's Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium, held from Jan. 22 to 24 in Orlando, Fla.

How to Post on Craigslist
Posting on Craigslist...using Craigslist can sometimes be frustrating. At times, you might think it isn't worth the time and effort it takes. And for some, it might not be worth it. But for others, it can be a very valuable tool to have.
Craigslist does makes changes quite a bit that can be frustrating and also make you wonder why in the world you still use this tool. I felt like that for a few moments yesterday afternoon while posting.
How to Post on Craigslist - Things Change Quickly
I found that they had made a change in the way that you can post ads. Things can change very quickly. The change that I found yesterday wasn't there as of last Thursday. So I had to make some adjustments in the way that I post ads.
How to Post on Craigslist - Making the Necessary Changes
You'll have to watch the video How to Post on Craigslist to find out exactly what that change was. This isn't a big earthshattering change, but it is enough for me to slighty tweak what I am doing.
You are going to start seeing a lot more training videos from me in the days to come. I am part of an awesome group called the SuperWomen. We are in the middle of a 4 week intensive bootcamp. It's not your typical bootcamp. We gather each Thursday at 9 CST on a Google hangout.
And it's not for just anyone. There are certain qualifications to join the hangout. And since the registration time for the current bootcamp has passed....you'll want to make sure you click the link below to connect with me and find out how you can be a part of this incredible group of women who are making a difference their worlds!!

Personally I wouldn't be able to do what Hall is doing because I'm not a respected well known name in ufology & I've never had a position within government etc like Hall & many others who write books/ produce DVD's like this!! Well, not one that is legitimate anyway! It's the perfect scam!!!! You can make up or highly exaggerate something & because of the provable/ legitimate position you held, say anything you want & get away with it. People will not question you because of who you are (many with a very impressive background) & no one can prove you're lying or telling the truth! Perfect!!!
an example of what I mean. One of many!
Charles Hall's Millennial Hospitality book series: http://openseti.org/Hall.html
Charles Hall's Millennial Hospitality book series, describing his encounters with a race of human-like extraterrestrials – the "Tall Whites" (TW) - during a two year duty assignment at Nellis Air Force Base from 1965 to 1967, is a story with tremendous visual impact.
How can this guy get away with writing THREE BOOKS on the same two year period?? They are all about this one experience so IMHO he must be making it up! Or did he forget things he should have put in the first book therefore needed to write another TWO (well actually I think he's writing a fourth as well… on the same bloody experience)??? NA!!! Sorry, what bull-**** imo!!! I believe there is a major scam going on here involving all these TOP UFO celebrities, all the X PEOPLE involved in the so called "disclosure project" etc etc!!!
Are we being mugged off!??Loads of cash to be earned here & I feel it's possible these individuals are all in it together! One writes a forward for the others new book. One confirms what the other says etc!…..look at the credits on the many DVD's for sale on this enigma. You'll see a lot of the same names involved: producers/ directors/ composers/ lighting etc etc. the list goes on!!! Jobs for the boys. Keep it in the family eh? That's what it looks like to me!!!! What's going on?
How's that for a conspiracy theory?

campus housing / merit

clifton hall student housing, california college of the arts oakland, calif.
Ethan Kaplan
The dorm's Broadway facade sits like a beacon on one of Oakland's main thoroughfares.
Around the corner, the Broadway Terrace elevation features bays that complement the prevalent architecture of nearby homes.
Mark Horton
A zinc, ovoid-shaped lounge structure anchors the campus-facing side.
This nifty little dormitory had to please a roll call of constituencies. (Or, as architect Mark Horton tactfully offers, "it had to moderate a number of different conditions.") The front facade, which presents itself as a beacon-like lantern, is at the hinge point of Broadway, where commercial gives way to residential. The Broadway Terrace elevation faces residential housing; its set-back, stucco-colored bays are a nod to nearby housing styles. But it's the Clifton Street face, overlooking the college campus, that expresses the most action.
Here, the housing is organized in a checkerbox-patterned bar that runs along the long north line of the property. It's anchored by a sophisticated, zinc-covered, ovoid-shaped building that houses the dormitory lounges. "When you're doing a dorm, you end up with a single element, a window, that you have to repeat over and over," says Horton. "Putting the lounges into a separate object really helped the scale of the project."
The judges agreed. The phrase "nice scale" popped up again and again, along with "very orderly," "clever," and "quite spectacular." Call it a graduation with honors.

Why should we believe anything official the government/military has said and is saying or will say about the ufo issue? We accept some things from the military and we don't accept other things? Project Blue Book for example: They investigate and tell us 5% are unexplained and we run with the ball, while we believe they are lying about any further existence on the issue? Another is Mufon's news topic stating "secret documents show ufo was military manufactured" (honestly I have not even read the article but reading the topic was big enough). So the government just slipped us a secret under the table? Suspicious. And don't even get me started on Project Mogul. Ok do... They say there was no "alien" crash, and we don't believe? What if they said there was an "ET" crash, you would believe them right, without seeing it with your two eyeballs and the "ET's" only showing themselves as often as they have done thus far? And what about other governments and their, "Lets show them the paper work!"?
What is everyone getting at here? It seems now the attitude all of these decades were people seeing something spectacular, governments gave no comment or investigated it under our radar (not making it a big deal on the news) and now they are saying, yep, they have seen something but I will not speculate further; It's just 5% unexplained. Can they pull the rug under our feet and turn around and say, "Here are all documents showing that 5% of the unexplained are military secrets and we had to keep a lid on it for National Security reasons"? These thousands of files they are giving us are only 5% of the unexplained? Where are the rest of the so called "explained", or even the rest of the unexplained they may be hiding under their pillow like they have done all these years? Freedom of information, Really? Depending on others suck, give me a billion dollars and I will show you a true investigation. 5% huh, could be more like 95% unexplained.

Cala Hammered Drum Table
LoveLoveLOVE this table!
I saw the larger, coffee table version of this at my local World Market store and was obsessing about it for weeks... I knew it was too big for the space I have, so decided to take a shot in the dark and see if there was a smaller version online... THERE WAS! I purchased it immediately, and within a few short days it was on my doorstep... I can't stop staring at it... It's the perfect piece for anyone who's looking for a table with style, a touch of uniqueness, AND complete functionality. LOVE! :)
August 23, 2013
Buy now! Great for any home
Bought this recently and LOVE it! This piece is so versatile- we're using it as a side table but could be used in the living room to store blankets etc. Don't hesitate, especially at this price!

MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. (AP) — Authorities say a man abducted and raped a Central Michigan University student and set fire to a house where she fled.
Isabella County Sheriff Leo Mioduszewski (MED'-ah-shess-kee) says 30-year-old Eric Ramsey was later killed by a deputy.
The abduction happened Wednesday night on the campus in Mount Pleasant, about 120 miles northwest of Detroit.
The sheriff says Ramsey drove the woman in her own vehicle to a home off campus and raped her. He says Ramsey put her back in the vehicle and pledged to kill her, but she escaped the moving vehicle and ran to a home.
He says Ramsey set the house on fire, but one of the residents put it out.
Ramsey was shot early Thursday by a deputy in Crawford County, more than 70 miles away.

Resurrecting the Champ
Struggling sports reporter Erik Kernan encounters a homeless man who calls himself "Champ"--only to determine that he is boxing legend Battling Bob Satterfield who was believed to have passed away long ago. Soon, reporting Champ's story becomes Erik's title shot. What begins as the young journalist's opportunity to revive Champ's story--and come out from under the shadow of both his wife and his father's success--becomes a very personal and life-altering journey, as it forces Erik to reexamine his own life and his relationship with his young son.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Investigators are awaiting preliminary autopsy results to determine the cause and manner of death after a body was found floating in the LNVA Canal.
Vidor police are currently investigating the death of a man discovered dead in a roadway at approximately 11:09 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 3, off South Street approximately one mile past the F.M. 1132 intersection.
The man whose body was discovered on the Orange County side of the Neches River on May 5 has been identified as Desmond Gerard O'Hara of Beaumont, according to a news release from the Orange County Sheriff's Department. O'Hara, 35-year-old black male, was reported missing by his family to Beaumont Police Department on Feb. 16, 2013.
Sheriff's deputies and medical examiners are still working to identify a man who was found dead floating on the Neches River south of the Interstate 10 Purple Heart Memorial Bridge on Thursday, May 16, 2013.
UPDATE: The body that was located in the Neches River on May 16, 2013, has been positively identified as Jose

Stop Fighting with Your Teen
Slammed doors and screeching arguments can be facts of life with a teen in your household. Here, how to defuse the fireworks.
Special Offers
In this corner, weighing in at 142 pounds and five feet three inches tall, we have Deb, the frustrated, conflict-averse yet relatively enlightened mother of two from Bloomington, IN. And in the other corner, her 17-year-old daughter, Annelise, who is convinced she's old enough to stay out until two in the morning because she's going to college next year and you might as well get used to it already....
I don't know how it happened, but somehow my happy home has turned into a verbal boxing ring. I won't pull any punches: I hate fighting. I'll do anything to avoid confrontation, even if that includes pretending I don't notice the half-eaten bagel with cream cheese that has been sitting on my daughter's nightstand for two weeks. But it turns out I'm not doing my kids any favors. Fighting done fairly delivers a huge payoff: a stronger relationship with your child, and the confidence that comes from knowing you've equipped her with emotional survival skills that will last a lifetime.
Fighting fair helps your kid build backbone while learning how to manage his emotions. "Conflict is part of life, and our kids need to know how to handle it with their friends, employers, and partners, and their own kids someday," says Joanne Stern, Ph.D., author of Parenting Is a Contact Sport: 8 Ways to Stay Connected to Your Kids for Life. "This is your time to prepare them for the day they leave home and don't have you to help them."
Fighting is also your chance to say, "I want you to have your own thoughts and feelings, even if they clash with mine. And when that fight is over, I'm still going to love you."
Gone are the days when you could resolve conflicts with a withering glare, the all-purpose "Because I'm the mom, that's why," or the famous countdown to doom ("You have five seconds to remove your feet from your sister's head. Five...four...three..."). Teens and tweens are sophisticated thinkers, and they're notoriously moody which means they'll find even more reasons to challenge your authority, says Stern. So you might as well learn how to make every fight count.
Rule 1: Establish Some Boundaries
One day when you're not mid-argument, start a conversation about the inevitability, as well as the benefits, of conflict, suggests Stern. You might say something like, "You're getting to the age where you're going to have your own ideas and we're going to disagree on some things, and that's normal. You can talk to me about anything, but you also need to know that I'm the parent, so the buck stops with me. Things may get heated, and that's normal, too. Let's set some rules now, before we fight." Explains Stern: "You want them to know that it's normal to feel angry sometimes. If you try to deny anger, it turns into resentment, bitterness, and revenge. We want to encourage our kids to experience conflict and get past it." Then it's up to you both to decide what's off-limits behavior like cursing, name-calling, damaging your home. Stepping out of bounds will carry the consequences you, as the parent, have determined.
Rule 2: Understand Your Kid's Mindset
Remember those lovely years known as the "terrible twos"? They may be back. Tweens and teens are hardwired to establish an identity apart from their parents, which often results in fighting. Plus, your teen's life is tumultuous think hormones, social drama, and school pressures. Once you manage to view your teen as someone struggling to maintain his footing as the tectonic plates of puberty are shifting beneath him, you're more likely to be patient and empathetic. When your kid is mid-screamfest, you won't take things personally. You'll be able to say, and mean, "I can see how hard this is for you, and I really want to figure this out with you. Let's take a breath or a break and talk this through."

Heart valve surgery is used to repair or replace diseased heart valves.
Blood that flows between different chambers of your heart must flow through a heart valve. Blood that flows out of your heart into large arteries must also flow through a heart valve.
These valves open up enough so that blood can flow through. They then close, keeping blood from flowing backward.
There are four valves in your heart:
The aortic valve is the most common valve to be replaced because it cannot be repaired. The mitral valve is the most common valve to be repaired. Only rarely is the tricuspid valve or the pulmonic valve repaired or replaced.
Before your surgery you will receive general anesthesia . You will be asleep and unable to feel pain.
In open heart surgery, the surgeon makes a large surgical cut in your breastbone to reach the heart and aorta. You are connected to a heart-lung bypass machine or bypass pump. Your heart is stopped while you are connected to this machine. This machine does the work of your heart, providing oxygen and removing carbon dioxide.
Minimally invasive valve surgery is done through much smaller cuts than open surgery, or through a catheter inserted through the skin. Several different techniques are used:
If your surgeon can repair your mitral valve, you may have:
If your valve is too damaged, you will need a new valve. This is called valve replacement surgery. Your surgeon will remove your valve and put a new one in place. The main types of new valves are:
In some cases, surgeons can use your own pulmonic valve to replace the damaged aortic valve. The pulmonic valve is then replaced with an artificial valve (this is called the Ross Procedure). This procedure may be useful for people who do not want to take blood thinners for the rest of their life. However, the new aortic valve does not last very long and may need to be replaced again by either a mechanical or a biologic valve.
Related topics include:
Valve replacement; Valve repair; Heart valve prosthesis; Mechanical valves, Prosthetic valves
You may need surgery if your valve does not work properly.
You may need heart valve surgery for these reasons:
Some of the heart valve problems treated with surgery are:
The risks for cardiac surgery include:
It is very important to take steps to prevent valve infections. You may need to take antibiotics before dental work and other invasive procedures.
Your preparation for the procedure will depend on the type of valve surgery you are having:
Your recovery after the procedure will depend on the type of valve surgery you are having:
The average hospital stay is 5 - 7 days. The nurse will tell you how to care for yourself at home . Complete recovery will take a few weeks to several months, depending on your health before surgery.
The success rate of heart valve surgery is high. The operation can relieve your symptoms and prolong your life.
Mechanical heart valves do not often fail. Artificial valves last an average of 8 - 20 years, depending on the type of valve. However, blood clots can develop on these valves. If a blood clot forms, you may have a stroke. Bleeding can occur, but this is rare.
There is always a risk of infection. Talk to your doctor before having any type of medical procedure.
The clicking of mechanical heart valves may be heard in the chest. This is normal.

Britain's Laura Robson produced a battling performance in the Australian Open second round to defeat eighth seed Petra Kvitova 2-6 6-3 11-9.
The British number two joined Heather Watson in the last 32 after edging a topsy-turvy encounter in which both players struggled to find their best form until the latter stages.
Eventually it was Robson who prevailed to move through to a meeting with another rising star, American Sloane Stephens.
Kvitova, the 2011 Wimbledon champion has been struggling for confidence in recent months - she has not won two consecutive matches since the US Open - and suffered early-round defeats at the warm-up events in Brisbane and Sydney.
And she again appeared mentally fragile, especially in the deciding set, as Robson held her nerve rather than the more experienced Czech.
"I knew it was going to be really tough, I always struggle to play lefties anyway," said Robson. "But I knew once I got my returns firing and had more confidence in my serve I would get into the match, and that's what I managed to do."
The first set was not one for the purists, with Robson's opening service game setting the tone.
She started with two double faults and followed that up with a forehand error and a weak volley to gift her opponent an early break.
Kvitova was unable to consolidate it, though, as Robson hit back immediately to level at 1-1.
Both players were continuing to struggle on serve and Robson had to stave off a break point, before serving two aces to claim a 2-1 lead.
But from there it fell apart for the 18-year-old.
She was broken again in the fifth game and once more as she started to spray her groundstrokes around Rod Laver Arena.
She almost delayed the concession of the first set but wasted six break points as Kvitova held on to claim the opener.
Having been marginally the more consistent player in the first, Kvitova promptly fell apart in the second.
Robson surged into a 5-1 lead and after a wobble which saw the world number eight halve the deficit, the Briton levelled the match.
The world number 53 sensed an upset and had a spring in her step at the start of the decider.
But Kvitova came again.
Having held, she then started charging the net in Robson's next service game and it proved a clever tactic, a third venture forward handing her a 2-0 lead after Robson netted a makeable forehand.
The momentum was firmly with the Czech and a love service game saw her jump out to a 3-0 lead.
Robson held and then got the break back as, from nowhere, Kvitova threw in three double faults in an awful game to lose the advantage.
In keeping with the match, Robson promptly handed her it back, more serving woe compounded by a netted backhand on break point.
And so it continued, Robson breaking again to change ends at 3-4 down.
There was eventually a hold as the teenager made it 4-4.
The standard was finally improving as the match reached its crucial stages, both players holding before Robson profited from yet another Kvitova mental meltdown to break for a 6-5 lead.
She could not serve it out, however, being broken to 15 as nerves got to the younger woman.
Two holds followed before a disputed line call at 7-7, 30-30, unsettled Kvitova but, to her credit, she came through to again pile the pressure on Robson.
She held firm as the match, remarkably, then went into a spell of being dominated by serve until Robson broke for a 10-9 lead.
And this time Kvitova had no reply as Robson served it out to go through in three hours.
Robson said afterwards: "I thought it was pretty ugly but in terms of how tough it was to close it out at the end, it was right up there with my best wins.
"I never gave up, even when she went up a break twice in the third.
"I thought I had to get as many returns in as I can and in the end, I thought I have nothing to lose so I relaxed on my serve and decided to go for it."
She added: "In the first set, it was just too up and down.
"You can't win a set when you are hitting five unforced errors to every winner.
"At the start of the second, I knew I had to play with more consistency.
"I was pretty disappointed at how I tried to serve it out at 6-5, I gave her too much time on the ball so to come out with a win is pretty pleasing.
"In some matches, you lose some belief but in this one I always felt I could win."

text: 5 Absolutely Stunning 3DFrankyle | 15/01/2012 | See all Frankyle's reviews (21)Pixar has done it again, their films might not feature many gimmicky 3D scenes but they sure have a whole load of WOW moments, the depths of the landscapes are just simply awe inspiring and theres certainly more than just a few stand out moments such as the storm and the final battle in the sky but thats not even it! The suttle poke of Mr Frederikson's nose or Omega's snout reaching out of the screen... The house also seems to fly right past your nose at points! I thought Toy Story 3 was the best Pixar 3D transfer yet, untill I watched Up! Its still the same incredibly loveable film with this added dimension and its all just been done so tastefully and seemless! I would even say it was flawless if not for the occasional ghosting but then again you have to be on the look out for it to even notice its there and even when you do it doesn't distract you from any of the other stunningly detailed images on the screen! Another MUST have for Disney/pixar fans and like I said with The Lion King... If you don't already own the 2D version and you are considering the possibilty of buying a 3d TV in the future (with prices going down so fast lately you'd be silly not too, even all you skeptics out there) THIS is most definitely the version to buy!

Is the guy with his foot on the ground "involved" in the crash?
I guess the answer to that question revolves around whether he went back to the pit and asked for a free lap or not...

They are made to provide real protection in all kinds of weather and all kinds of conditions. The liners are designed to work perfectly in extreme cold as well as in extreme heat, to protect your floor from melting snow, salt, mud, sand and all kinds of spills.

They feature an extra durable raised heel pad for the right driver's foot and a raised area to rest the left foot.

The liners are also compatible with OEM floor mat anchoring systems for maximum safety.

The material is guaranteed to never crack or warp. It stays flexible even in the most extreme cold. It remains odor free and non-sticky in the most extreme heat. It is durable and has a good tactile feel. There is no better material to be found for production of perfect automotive floor protection. And there are no better liners in the market than the Husky liners.
89.95Husky Liners® is a brand of Winfield Consumer Products, a company started in 1988 by Bob Tyler in Winfield, Kansas. He had found that his passion for cleanliness was difficult to combine with his passion for fishing and hunting trips. Cleaning his vehicle after the outings was time consuming and tedious. He looked for real floor protection that didn't interfere with his driving and was easy to take out for cleaning. At that time there were no such products on the market. All he could find were flimsy, off the shelf, universal rubber mats that were designed to fit everything and thus fit nothing, mats that were sliding around, getting stuck under the pedals and leaving large areas unprotected. So Bob Tyler invented a better mat, formed Winfield Consumer Products and started producing the world's first automotive custom fit protective mats. The company has grown to a 197,000 square foot manufacturing and distribution facility and has built a strong base of customers who come back again and again to buy the best protective mats in the market.

Light Pollution Research
Night Sky Brightness Meter (NSBM) Read the Current Status of the NSBM Report on the IDA Reports & Studies Page >> A good estimation of sky brightness and its variations throughout the night, the months, and even the years is essential knowledge, both for good observing and especially as a tool in efforts to minimize sky brightness through local action. Hence, a stable and accurate monitor can be a valuable and necessary tool. Dan McKenna (of Palomar Observatory), in partnership with IDA, has developed such a tool. This device is now undergoing its beta test in preparation for production. It is simple, accurate, well calibrated, and automatic, sending its data directly to IDA over the Internet via e-mail. Approximately 50 such monitors will be ready soon for deployment worldwide, including most major observatories. |
IDA SKY BRIGHTNESS RESEARCH Glare Metric The Glare Metrics Program is a joint effort between IDA and Ian Lewin, of Lighting Sciences, Inc. This program is designed to create a standard of accurately and uniformly measuring glare, primarily by looking at intensity, luminance, and luminance contrast. There are several different methods used to determine the level of glare output by a variety of light sources. The first is the calculation of the intensity of the light source. The second is measuring the luminance contrast between the light source and the background. And finally, a more subjective approach is to ask individuals to rate their personal discomfort level when viewing the light source. These three methods will combine to create a clear and uniform standard for measuring and quantifying glare. A function of the Glare Metric Program is the desire to involve lay people in light source measurements. This effort will record multiple types of light sources in a variety of locations. One of the set backs in this effort is the prohibitive expense and logistics in providing volunteers with a luminance meter capable of measuring the light's output. It is, therefore, necessary to develop another more accessible means of measurement. Therefore, an experiment is in process to determine if a digital camera can be used as an alternative to a luminance meter. Read the preliminary report. |

North dominates the first KTE Stop in Almanarre France
Almanarre, the neighborhood of St. Tropez was the perfect start into an exciting season for the NKB team! Let´s get it on! With the two first days of wind, sun, 95 riders from over 14 countries coming to the South of France – Almanarre Kitemasters finished with a full freestyle event and 8 counted course races. The tour started with 46 racers - 39 men and 7 women – as well as 49 freestylers - 37 men and 12 women. The first edition of the European tour stop on the Côte d'Azur was a great event with a parallel execution of the two disciplines. The first day brought strong 30-35 knots. The action was intense right from the beginning and it started early in the morning with both competitions. Freestylers were riding with 7 meters kites and after, to get used to the conditions, the spectators could seen some awesome tricks. North Kiteboarding rider Stefan Spiessberger (Austria), who was unfortunately kicked-off in round 4 in the single elimination, fought his way back straight through the doubles and won unstoppable six heats, until the quarter final, when he was beaten by Liam Whaley (Spain).
The final in the doubles featured Mario Rodwald, NKB (Germany) against Whaley. Both of these riders have had an amazing start and demonstrated great progression over the wintertime. That heat was full of power, variety and action for the beach crowd. With a great powerful double S-Bend Pass and a Low Mobe 5, Mario got it and won the first European tour stop. Congratulations!
The final women's heat took place between Sabrina Lutz, NKB (Germany) and title-holder 2012 Annelous Lammerts (Netherlands), when Sabrina crashed her kite and Annelous advanced. A super women final was announced and finally the first women tour stop title goes to Germany and North Kiteboarding as well - Sabrina Lutz (NKB).
Focusing on course racing, the first two competition days were quite eventful. Racers entered the water early, hungry for days full of racing action. With regard to the rough sea, the course provided tactical challenges that made not only spectacular for racing, but excellent spectating as well.
On day one, French rider Maxime Nocher (NKB) won three of four races followed by Julien Kerneur, also from France. British race legend Steph Bridge, also NKB from UK, holds first place positioning, while Dutch rider Katja Roose followed her on second place. The riders were always quite close and handled out arresting battles. The second day was a smoother running. Some kites moved in perfect synchronization alongside one another. With the fleet on bigger kites, Maxime Nocher, Julien Kerneur, Blazej Ozog and Florian Gruber were riding close to each other in rotational positioning. Day three and four, brought a bout of very light, or better, no wind.
The course director adapted due to these light conditions. But unfortunately they realized their wishful thinking did not materialize. The wind didn't pick up the last two last days. In a nutshell, ten races were sailed, with two discards in total. French rider Maxime Nocher (NKB) at first and Blazej Ozog, also NKB on third position. Congratulations!
The women´s fleet, was lead by Steph Bridge (UK). Steph crossed five times the finish line first and dominated the event. Like so many times before.
The end of the first MINI KTE event was marked with the closing ceremony and the distribution of the trophies and prize money. It could not have been a better way to start the season with a grateful event and tough conditions in the beginning.
The next stop of the season is on the German island Sylt. The rough Northern Sea and strong winds will be a perfect spot for the 2nd stop of the year, from 2nd July to 7th July.
Congratulations to all the participating North Kiteboarding riders!!

Where did the mammoth US budget deficits come from?
By Peter Grier | Christian Science Monitor – 18 hrs ago
Let's go back about a decade, when budget surpluses were predicted for the foreseeable future. Somehow, the math went terribly wrong, by trillions of dollars. Here's an accounting of what happened.
What's the cause of the federal government's huge budget deficits? That's a question that is harder to answer in the particular than you might think. The general problem is obvious: Uncle Sam has been spending more money than he takes in. The specific reasons as to why this state of affairs exists are a mix of human decisions, economic circumstance, and the cumulative effect of time.
Context is important here. So let's start with 2001. That year, the Congressional Budget Office looked out over the decade to come and saw ahead nothing but blue skies and black ink. It predicted that between 2001 and 2011 the US would run budget surpluses totaling $5.6 trillion.
That didn't happen. Instead, the US racked up $6.1 trillion in deficits over that period. CBO's prediction was a whopping $11.7 trillion off the mark. How did things go so wrong?
It's interesting how people that tow party lines can read this and see completely different things. Most notably, they see ammunition to support their claim that the other side is to blame. Nothing changes, does it? Read and see what you think. I don't want to effect the outcome of anyone's opinion with my own. I do think the problem is blatantly obvious though.
