A "Three Veils" weekend at Out North with filmmaker Rolla Selbak and actress Sheetal Sheth
by Mel Green
Out North is hosting a special one-night screening of the film Three Veils this coming Saturday, along with two other events with filmmaker Rolla Selbak and actress Sheetal Sheth.
We wrote about it in April; now it's time for a reminder: Out North is hosting a special one-night screening of the film Three Veils this coming Saturday, June 11, and filmmaker Rolla Selbak will be there.
Better yet, Rolla will be joined by one of the film's stars, Anchorage favorite Sheetal Sheth, who many of our readers met when she came to Anchorage last October for the local premiere of her movies I Can't Think Straight and The World Unseen, also shown at Out North.
Best of all, they'll be here for not only the screening, but also for two other Out North events: a Friday evening house party and barbecue (just before the Loud & PROUD all-ages dance) and, on Saturday afternoon, Rolla will present a talk about about what it takes to make it as an indie-filmmaker in the digital age.
[caption id="attachment_3455" align="alignleft" width="325" caption="My friend Sylvia with Sheetal Sheth last October"][/caption]I was delighted my friend Sylvia got to meet Sheetal last October: it was Sylvia who introduced me to her films I Can't Think Straight and The World Unseen. I missed meeting her myself, and regrettably I'll miss her this time as well, as I'll be on my way to Portland, a side trip to see some friends on my way to Netroots Nation in Minneapolis next week.
But by no means should anyone else miss this chance to meet both her and Rolla Selbak, and to see a great independent film. Three Veils is a feature-length film dealing with the issues of arranged marriage, lesbianism, and love within the Arab-American subculture, aiming to portray its leading female characters as human beings first, women second.
Come to these events and support Out North and LGBT and independent filmmakers! Full details about all three events are below.

Bringing Moving Pixels to Life: A Film Director's Task
From a spark of an idea to bringing moving pixels to life, filmmaker Rolla Selbak talks about what it takes to make it as an indie-filmmaker in the digital age of the two-thousand teens. She wrote, directed and edited her first feature film, Making Maya, for $5,000. Her second and current feature film, Three Veils, has come a long way from her humble beginnings, and she is here to share her journey. When do you know a script is ready? How do you raise money and make a budget? What are 10 important things to keep in mind during a shoot? How do you promote yourself and your film? She will also hold an involved Q&A during the second half of the workshop.
Rolla Selbak's work spans many genres and mediums, and is known for its bold approach to compelling stories and subject matter. Her next project is an adaptation of Ray Bradbury's Death is a Lonely Business.
- Date/time: Saturday, June 11, 2–4 PM
- Cost of admission: $20 in advance or at the door
Screening of Three Veils
Three Veils is a film about three young Middle-Eastern women living in the U.S, each with her own personal story. Leila (Mercedes Masohn) is engaged to be married, but as the wedding night approaches, she becomes less and less sure of how her life is playing out. Amira (Angela Zahra) is a devout Muslim, but is dealing with her deep repressions about her intimate feelings toward women. Nikki (Sheetal Sheth) is acting out her promiscuity as she battles her own demons after a tragic death in the family. As the film progresses, all three stories unfold and blend into each other as connections are revealed between the three women.
- Date/time: Saturday, June 11, 7 PM
- Cost of admission: $10 general admission, $7.50 students/60+/military; available at the door only.

Hockey fans invade Detroit, gear up for NHL Winter Classic
Downtown Detroit is alive with the sounds and smells of outdoor hockey right now, as the city enters the fifth and final day of the Hockeytown Winter Festival.
And those festivities are just a prelude to the big event in Ann Arbor — the 6th annual NHL Winter Classic at Michigan Stadium on New Year's Day.
That outdoor game will feature two of the NHL's Original Six teams, the Detroit Red Wings and the Toronto Maple Leafs. The game alone is expected to draw well over 100,000 fans to the Big House.
But until Wednesday, the party for hockey fans from Detroit, Toronto and elsewhere is at the Winter Festival.
It's pretty much every die-hard hockey fan's dreamscape. You can skate outside, play pick-up hockey, tour replica locker rooms, and even catch a glimpse of the Stanley Cup.
The whole affair wraps up Tuesday, with two outdoor games featuring Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leafs alumni at Comerica Park. Former Detroit captains Steve Yzerman and Nicklas Lidstrom are among the ex-Red Wings who will take the ice.
All the festivities — and the relatively short road trip -- have drawn a lot of Maple Leafs fans, like Andrew Morris, to southeast Michigan for a few days.
"A lot of Toronto is going to be there (the Winter Classic)," said Morris. "Basically, on the way down here it was just a caravan of blue-and-white flags and Leaf paraphernalia and all that."
Tom Crites, a former Detroiter now living in Washington state, said he'd watch the Winter Classic from home. He enjoyed skating at the Winter Festival and poking around downtown Detroit Monday.
But he especially looked forward to returning for the alumni games on Tuesday. "These old-timer games…most of the hatchets are buried, the guys are laughing at each other, having fun and having one after the game together," Crites said. "That's what great about hockey."

No I don't support Palmiero or anyone else who tested positive for performance enhanced drugs. Having said that Bonds for example was IMO a HOFer before he obviously did the performance enhanced drugs so I would have no problem seeing Bonds get in.
You are right on the 500 home runs. With how the way the game has changed you will see more and more players hit the 500 mark so I think the bar needs to be set a little higher.
It could have been interesting though had Harold Baines reached 3,000 hits. If I recall he fell a few hundred short, but I just can't see him in as worthy of the HOF even if he had reached the magic 3,000 hit mark.

Make a great planting box for your vegetable garden.
Raised bed for vegetable gardens
Your guide to making a raised garden bed
A raised bed is one of the best ways to grow vegetables.
Materials for a raised bed:
- One 6-foot-long 4-by-4 ($15)
- Six 8-foot-long-2-by-6s ($75)
- One 10-foot-long 1-inch PVC pipe ($3)
- Two 10-foot-long ½-inch PVC pipes ($6)
- 32 3½-inch #14 wood screws and 16 ½-inch #8 wood screws ($29)
- One 4- by 10-foot roll of ¼-inch-mesh hardware cloth ($15)
- Eight 1-inch galvanized tube straps (semicircular brackets; $3.60)
- 32 cubic feet (1 1/5 cu. yd.) soil mix ($100 in bags; look for combination of topsoil, compost, and potting soil).
With a table or power saw, cut the 4-by-4 into four 16-inch-tall corner posts. Cut two of the 2-by-6s in half. Cut the 1-inch PVC pipe into four 12-inch-long pieces and ½-inch PVC pipes into 6-foot-long pieces. Assemble pieces on a hard, flat surface.
> See full article
Assembly process begins
Build bed upside down. Set a 4-foot 2-by-6 on its thin edge on pavement, and place a 16-inch post at one end. Secure post with two 3½-inch screws. Repeat at other end of board. Repeat with other short board.
Join short sides with an 8-foot board; and secure with two screws. Add other long side. Add second layer of 2-by-6s.
Position frame in garden
With help from a buddy, flip the bed right side up. Move it into position in the yard, marking with a trowel each corner post's location. Move the bed aside; dig a 5- to 6-inch-deep hole for each post.
Put the bed back into place, with posts in holes; fill around posts with soil.
Install lining
Install lining
Rake the existing soil at the bottom of the bed to level it, then tamp it smooth. Line the bed with hardware cloth to keep out gophers and moles; trim the cloth with shears to fit around corner posts.
Attach pipe to frame
Attach pipe
To hold hoops for bird netting or row covers, attach four 12-inch pieces of 1-inch PVC pipe inside the bed: On the long sides, space pipes 4 feet apart, 2 feet from each end; screw on two tube straps to secure each pipe.
Fill the bed with a planting mix of topsoil, compost, and potting soil; rake it smooth, and moisten it with a gentle spray from the hose.

Insert the hoops
Insert the hoops
To cover newly planted seedlings with bird nettings or season-extending row covers, simply bend two 6-foot pieces of ½-inch PVC pipe to form semi-circles, and slip their ends into the 1-inch pipes inside the bed.
Then drape the bird netting or row covers over them.

Conshohocken is going to get a little shadier on Friday-- and in a good way.
The borough's Shade Tree Commission is set to plant ten new trees at various locations in the borough, in an effort to help keep the town green. According to a statement from the commission, three Horn Beams, two Dawn Redwoods, and a Beech tree will be planted at Aubrey Collins Park. The remaining four trees are residential trees that will be planted between the sidewalk and the street at several homes through the borough, the commission said.
Part of the Shade Tree Commission's responsibility is to carefully review places where trees need to be planted and select species that naturally fit that location. Residents of Conshohocken can request a shade tree by e-mailing firstname.lastname@example.com, and will be considered for 2013 planting.

Lynn Dralle -- Online Antiques Dealer
Find out how this entrepreneur built an eBay antiques empire. Plus, Dralle puts her best eBay tips into print with her book, Money Making Madness -- read our Web-exclusive excerpt!
By Patricia Greco
Special Offers
Where she works: Palm Desert, California
What she earned in 2005: $88,000
Her motivation: Lynn Dralle grew up loving her grandmother's antiques shop in Bellingham, Washington. So when her ailing grandma needed help running the store, Dralle took on the responsibility. But she was soon in a bind: Her grandmother's medical bills were rising faster than the shop's sales. In 1998, hoping for some quick cash, Dralle posted items on eBay. Before she knew it, a rare teapot went for $1,000 and a chess set for $300. "Because she was sick, my grandmother could hardly speak, but her face lit up when I showed her what we'd made," says Dralle, now 43.
Learning the ropes: Dralle spent hours tracking eBay auctions and reading trade magazines to understand the new electronic marketplace. "What sells in a shop doesn't always sell well online," she discovered. "For example, eBay shoppers are more likely than store shoppers to be collectors in search of very specific pieces."
Keeping track of sales: Her transactions started to snowball, so Dralle created a way to organize them. She published her smart system in a book called i sell on eBay, which the site now offers in its official store.
Boosting profits: Dralle's online sales averaged $15,000 a month by 2000, and her customer reviews were raves -- all of which kept her in the ranks of eBay's top "power sellers."
Moving the business online: In 2002, two years after her grandmother died, Dralle closed up shop and moved to California with her inheritance: 80 boxes of antiques. She used them to go eBay all the way, hiring a part-time assistant to help answer emails and send out packages. To replenish her stock, Dralle hits the road every Saturday at 6am, checking out garage and estate sales with $200 in her pocket (if she doesn't have more, she says, she won't spend more).
Diversifying: Dralle has written six books about making money on eBay, and she teaches online courses for aspiring eBay entrepreneurs.
The bottom line: Last year, sales hit $135,000 â about $90,000 from eBay, the rest from books and class fees. With her time divided between eBay sales and new projects, Dralle earns less now than she did from the shop. But she loves her more stable work pace, and her take-home is still hefty â about $88,000.
Thanking Grandma: Dralle once nabbed a small wooden bird for $2, never dreaming she'd resell it for the whopping $2,000 that she did. She says, "I know my grandmother was watching over me then and that she's still looking out for me now."

The student movement of 2010 was the largest for a generation. It transformed the political atmosphere around the Tory-Liberal Democrat Coalition government's cuts programme and popularised the 'rejectionist' argument that the deficit could be paid for by taxing the rich, the corporations, and the banks or by cutting Trident and the war budget for Afghanistan. It undermined the legitimacy of the government by exposing a larger democratic deficit: the election of 2010 had revealed an electorate that voted centre left, but the government they got was monetarist and right wing.
So what led to the rise of this transformative movement? In the broadest sense the student movement was prefigured by the anti-globalisation movement that was born at the Seattle World Trade Organization conference in 1999. For a decade anti- corporate, anti-capitalist values and popular demonstrations that express these sentiments have been part of political life. They have left their mark on the attitudes and shaped the political participation of a generation of young people. The anti-globalisation movement, especially in Britain, fed into the anti-war movement as it arose after the attack on the World Trade Centre in 2001. Mass anti-war demonstrations, large-scale political rallies, pickets and protests have provided a vehicle for political action for young people over this period.
In particular the first modern mass action by school students took place as part of the Stop the War Coalition's campaign against the Iraq war. In the days around the outbreak of war in 2003 school students struck and walked out to join protests and marches against the war. A minority of them directly organised School Students Against the War. This organisation had been reformed by a new generation of school students six months before the fees protests and the individuals in this organisation were part of the fees protest as well.
Many of the first generation of school students had, of course, gone on to be university students in their own right in the period after 2003. At university they continued to participate in anti war activity and were galvanised by events such as the Israeli attack on Gaza at the start of 2010 (see Chapter 12). So the generation of students that confronted the new ConDem government in 2010 contained some considerable numbers who had direct experience of protest and action of a highly politicised kind. Moreover, there existed a decade-long experience of such action, perhaps taken by their old brothers, sisters, relatives and friends, which shaped the environment in which they had come of age.
In response to the ConDem government's plans to increase tuition fees and scrap the Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA), a series of demonstrations, protests and occupations were launched in the last two months of 2010. Many myths have flowered around the student movement that both helped to build and emerged from these events. It is said that it was a spontaneous revolt, without official leadership. It is said that it was all organised on the new social media. It is said by some that it was mainly school students who demonstrated, while others have claimed it to be a movement of university students. The truth about the student demonstrations is that they happened on the scale they did because of a mixture of official and unofficial organisation. The first demonstration on 10 November 2010 could never have been the size that it was without the official organisation and legitimacy imparted to it by the NUS and the UCU. At the Millbank Tower a militant minority, albeit a very large minority of some many thousands, gave the action on the day a character that the official unions did not imagine existed and did not like when it was expressed. Nevertheless, without the official call the demonstration would not have had the size it had and the minority of militants would not have gathered the support they needed to take effective action.
The two subsequent, mainly school student demonstrations, built on the impetus created by the first demonstration and they were popularised using Facebook and Twitter. But they also relied on unofficial networks created from the first demo and on the intervention of militants organized at ULU, in the National Campaign Against Fees and Cuts and, to a lesser degree, the Education Activists Network. The final and second biggest demonstration, benefited from the limited call given by the NUS and UCU but it was overwhelmingly the work of ULU and the unofficial campaigns whose organised base was significantly widened by the widespread occupations of the colleges taking place at the same time. In this demonstration university students once again outnumbered school students.
The action of the school students was in many ways the most exciting and visible part of the campaign. But the organisation by university students, with the capacities of their local unions and occupations to draw on, was essential in giving the movement politics, strategy and stamina. The shock troops came from the schools, but the organisational capacity, the logistics, the ability to deal with the police, courts and the media, came from university students.
The wave of university occupations significantly added to the student's organisational capacity. As we shall see in the next chapter, they were bases from which wider involvement could be galvanised. They were centres of political debate and places where the next demonstration could be prepared and, crucially, they brought the debate about fees to the door of the college administrations who were to implement it on behalf of the government.
The student struggle of 2010 was immediately effective in dividing the Liberal Democrats. LibDem ministers voted for the fees rise, some LibDem MPs abstained, others voted against the proposal. The Daily Telegraph chose this moment to attack the LibDems over the 'Cablegate' interview in which two undercover reporters encouraged Vince Cable into some bragging about his opposition to Rupert Murdoch's expansion of his media empire. LibDems slid in the polls from 22 per cent support at the election to 12 per cent, even as low as 8 per cent in some polls[4]. The government as a whole won the vote but it lost the argument and its stock with the electorate slumped. In polls after the student demonstrations Labour was ahead of the Tories for the first time since the election.
Union leaders from Bob Crow and Mark Serwotka to Len McCluskey, the newly elected leader of the country's biggest union, Unite, praised the students and urged trade unionists to follow their example. But would they? This was the question being asked across British society. In many minds the precedent of 1968 was being recalled. Then, as we have seen, a student struggle had detonated a general strike in France and, on a slower timescale, it was the precursor of workers' struggles in Britain. But, as we have also seen, it was the intensity of the student struggles that first led to official action by the unions and this, in turn, led to unofficial action on a wide scale. The myth of students simply 'calling workers out' or of 'unofficial action' simply spreading as a result of student-worker contact underestimates the complexity of events and so disarms those who today wish to generate a higher level of working class resistance based on the student struggles.
The student movement that emerged in 2010 is the biggest in Britain for a generation, but it is not yet bigger than it was in France in 1968. The first task in the coming period is to sustain and intensify this struggle. This is not because very many today share the illusion of some on the far left in 1968 that the students can build 'red bases' in the colleges that will be sufficient to challenge the government on their own but because the key to the involvement of workers lies, in the first instance, in the intensity of the student struggle. Artificial attempts to 'link with the workers' will not necessarily help because trade union struggles move at a different pace than those among students. The students can, however, cause a social crisis into which workers, organised and unorganised, are drawn. But for this to happen the student struggle itself, the occupations and demonstrations, need to be sustained and spread. The trade unionists in the education unions will find it easier to become involved in the struggle if this is the case, and this can be a bridge to other workers becoming involved. Occupations are key to this because they make the campuses ungovernable for the university authorities and present the staff with the question of taking sides in a way that demonstrations alone do not.

Chapters (22)
An e-column by Massimo Pigliucci.
N. 54, October 2004
I have often remarked in this column that philosophy gets an unfair bad wrap on the ground that it doesn't solve problems. Indeed, the point of philosophy is more to clarify concepts, ideas, and their consequences, then to solve practical issues. However, it would seem that clarifying things isn't much of a goal if in turn it doesn't help us make some progress. So, let us consider one particularly sensitive debate -- the one about the very idea of abortion -- where philosophy, by claryfying our thoughts, can help reasonable people come to a compromise (philosophy can do nothing for unreasonable people, so if you are among those who scream "murder!" at the thought of someone masturbating, get a life, and while you're at it, make a point of watching Monty Python's Meaning of Life).
Much of the debate on abortion hinges upon what seems to be a scientific question: when does a fertilized egg become a human being? Of course, the answer cannot be entirely scientific, since it depends in part on objective facts about the biology of human development, and in part on what we mean by "human being." Which is where philosophy comes into play. Does a foetus become a human being when the heart starts beating? When there is a recognizable central nervous system? When it can react to external stimuli? When it can feel pain? Any of those answers would put the boundary between unacceptable and acceptable abortion practices at different times during pregnancy, but it seems rather arbitrary to pick one of these developmental milestones and use it as a universal yardstick for moral decisions. After all, many other animals have a nervous system, a heartbit, respond to external stimuli, and can feel pain, but most of us (vegetarians excluded -- but most abortion opponents included) don't seem to have too many qualms about killing such animals.
No, the crucial point must focus on something else that characterizes human beings. Plenty of philosophers, for example Julian Baggini (in his excellent collection Making Sense: Philosophy Behind the Headlines) have suggested that the important facts in the debate on abortion (and the parallel one on euthanasia) are not found in the biology of humans, but rather in our (philosophical) concept of personhood. In other words, some of us think a foetus should be protected because it is becoming a person, i.e. an entity that can eventually feel not just pain, but suffering; that can have not just the urge to have sex and reproduce, but may fall in love; a being that could one day write a sonnet, a song, or a philosophical essay.
If the problem is actual or potential personhood, not the developmental biology of our particular species of primates, then we have moved from biology to philosophy, a much more tricky terrain to navigate. Being a person is tightly linked to having the ability to lay down and recover memories (which make up our "identity" as a person), as well as to experience emotions (like love and suffering) and not just feelings (like sexual urge and pain). These characteristics are in turn dependent on being a member of a society, interacting with others, communicating one's thoughts and receiving and understanding information about other people's thoughts and emotions. Yes, all of this is also a matter of biology (after all, these things are made possible only by the presence of certain biological essentials, like a functional body, and especially a complex brain), but taken together they mean that personhood is most of all a question of psychology and sociology.
The problem is that there are plenty of circumstances in which a human being is not, in fact, a person. Foetuses are not persons, and neither are people who survive in a vegetative state induced by a coma. Other cases are more difficult to determine, but one can make a reasonable argument that very young children are only on their way to become persons, while patients affected by advanced stages of some mental diseases like Alzheimer are well on their way out of full personhood. So, while there is very little question that by performing an abortion we are in fact killing a biological being that belongs to the human species, it is an entirely different -- and much more difficult to defend -- proposition to say that we are killing a person.
Abortion opponents may shrug all of this philosophical quibbling as irrelevant on the ground that the procedure -- at whatever stage it is practiced -- kills a potential person. But this is a rather odd argument, with far reaching consequences that should be seriously considered by whoever proposes it. For example, the mass of cells in question will become a person only if many conditions other than biological development are fulfilled, including being raised in a proper physical, psychological and social environment. It is ironic, therefore, that we spend so much energy debating abortion while most of us are much less passionate about more apparently mundane issues such as, say, health care and education for all those non-aborted foetuses.
Even more radically, if a fertilized egg is a potential person, so is every single unfertilized one, and every sperm as well. After all, the egg or sperm only needs a gamete of the opposite type to begin the developmental process that will lead to the generation of another person. I suppose that is why the most rabid religious fundamentalists (including the current Pope) are against masturbation or sex that doesn't have the goal of reproduction. But it is hard to see what these people could do to avoid the natural "waste" of unutilized human eggs. Should we explant them from every woman and fertilize them artificially? If your intuitive answer was "no," and yet you are against all types of abortion, you may want to consider the consistency of your philosophy.
Do I have a better and clearer solution to offer that can help us settle the abortion debate once and for all? No, as I acknowledged at the beginning, that isn't the point of a philosophical discussion. Quite the opposite, I hope that people reading this column will feel a bit less sure of their own positions because they have understood that the issue is much more complex and difficult to settle than a simple slogan, or even an introductory course on human developmental biology, allow. And please do check out that Monty Python movie I mentioned in the beginn ing.

The Lake Hypatia Freethought Conference Center is located near Talladega, Alabama, and is the culmination of the lifelong dream of Pat, Roger and Melody Cleveland. Read the story of how Lake Hypatia and the first Hypatia Freethought Advance came about.
Lake Hypatia is named for Hypatia, a 5th century mathematician at the world-famous Library of Alexandria, who was martyred for her commitment to reason and education.
The Lake Hypatia Conference Center adjoins the Cheaha National Forest, and serves as the meeting place for regular gatherings of the Alabama Freethought Association, Inc., special occasions such as the annual July Celebration and nature hikes for school and other groups.
Fearn Park
Atheists in Foxholes
The Alabama Freethought Association, Inc.'s "Atheists in Foxholes" monument honors Atheists who served in the Army, Marines, Navy, Coast Guard and Air Force. It consists of a 6 foot high granite obelisk, flying U.S. flags from an urn on the top. Each face of the obelisk contains a medallion honoring one or two branches of the service.
Next time anyone tells you "There are no atheists in foxholes", send them here.

Patricia Cleveland, Director
It is with great sadness that the Alabama Freethought Association and FFRF announce the death of founding member Roger Cleveland after a protracted illness. Our hearts go out to family, including Patricia Cleveland, his wife, and Alice Cleveland, his sister. May their hearts find peace with this great loss.
Our goals: To educate the public on non-theism and protect the First Amendment - Separation of Religion from Government.
Alabama Freethought Association, Inc. is a local chapter of the Freedom From Religion Foundation. We are a non-religious community who are committed to living our lives free from superstition, dogma and mysticism. By definition, a freethinker is one who forms opinions about religion, independently of tradition, authority or established belief, in favor of rational inquiry.
Our members are composed of Agnostics, Atheists, Secular minded people, a few Jefferson type Deists still searching for answers and come from all walks of life. The common thread we all share is the right to believe what we choose, uphold the constitutional principles of separation between government & religion, and embracing the philosophical concepts of humanism with tolerance towards others.
Living in the current "God Frenzy" era, that has been creeping up on us since the mid-1950s and accelerated by 9-11, it is most difficult to display tolerance toward others, when they are attempting to annihilate us with their own religious agenda. This is especially true here in the Bible Belt, where Christian Fundamentalism dominates and the political hand-holding with religion severely violates our Constitution and First Amendment. Thus we do battle through educating the public with letters to the editors and our representatives, working with other like minded organizations who share our philosophies, and legally taking appropriate action to preserve our rights.
Every year many freethinkers get together at beautiful Lake Hypatia, Alabama for a fun filled Fourth of July Weekend! The event, held in FFRF's air-conditioned southern Freethought Hall, includes two and a half days of speakers, recreation — hikes, poetry reading and the "atheist vs. agnostic" softball tournament — and an appreciation ceremony for freethinking veterans at the Atheists in Foxholes monument at Lake Hypatia. The Atheists in Foxholes monument is dedicated to the many members of the military who were "atheists in foxholes," as well as to all freethinkers (atheists, agnostics, and skeptics of any persuasion) who serve in the U.S. military.
If you are a freethinker and are ready to live the rational life, please come join us at beautiful Lake Hypatia. Our meetings are held the third Sunday of each month, starting with Social hour at 11 AM, Covered Dish Lunch at noon and Speaker at 1 PM. Afterwards, folks continue to socialize, take walks, fish or paddle boat around the 12 acre lake. You are welcome as a guest with no prerequisite to become a member. For more information, contact the Alabama Freethought Association.

Vice Chair: Hal Webre
Secretary: Laurie Webre
Historian: Alice Cleveland
The Alabama Freethought Association, Inc.
Roger Cleveland began his pursuit to find other freethinkers in Alabama and the rest of the South in August of 1988. Eventually, Roger communicated with Dan Barker, Public Relations Director of the Freedom From Religion Foundation. With Dan's help, Roger was able to contact other southern freethinkers and began to form what is now the Alabama Freethought Association, Inc..
The first meeting of the founding group was in February, 1989. In March, 1989, a formal meeting was held in Birmingham with freethinkers from all reaches of the state of Alabama. In June, 1989, the group was recognized as a chapter of the Freedom From Religion Foundation. The new chapter elected officers and formed its bylaws, deciding not to charge membership dues but instead to be supported by individual contributions.
The chapter has sponsored media appearances of its director and other officers. It has purchased advertisements in newspapers in Alabama to gain publicity and because of members' activism, the Alabama Freethought Association, Inc. has gained state and national attention.
On July 1, 1991, the Lake Hypatia Freethought Advance opened, providing a place to gather and enjoy nature for freethinkers across the country. Read more about the advance here.
AFA membership is open to anyone that is a dues paying member of the Freedom From Religion Foundation. For more information on the AFA, please contact us.

Successful crosschannel marketers recognize that the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow really depends on leveraging the strengths of all channels. Here's a few tips for 2012:
1. Continue Prospecting: Focus on growing your 12-month buyer file. If your 12-month buyer file is growing, you sales will increase (the opposite is also true). Good sources for new buyers are pay-per-click (PPC), search engine optimization (SEO), inquiry programs and traditional catalog prospecting. Email lists are expensive to rent and generally do not work for catalogers. Likewise, postcards aren't cost efficient for prospecting either.
2. Mail Your Housefile: Continue mailing your housefile and all of your 0-12 month buyers regardless of the channel they came from. Don't assume that just because a new buyer came from the Internet, they should not be mailed. Segment one-time buyers from two-time-plus customers. Often, the one-time buyers searched for an item online, found it, but have no intentions of purchasing again. This segment might not need to be mailed as often.
3. Lifetime Value (LTV): Not all customers are created equal. Different channels result in different lifetime values. For example, the LTV of a one-time only Internet buyer might not have the same LTV of a new buyer generated from a cooperative database prospect list. Base your prospecting decision on the LTV and not on the initial order.
4. Matchbacks: While not perfect, they are a must and should be done frequently. Matchbacks will help you identify where orders are coming from. At least 80% of orders cannot be traced to a specific source code without the help of a matchback.
5. Maximize Page Counts: Don't reduce your page count because you feature more items on your website—maximize your pieces to at least the U.S. Postal Service piece rate maximum weight of 3.3 ounces. Postage is at least 50% of the cost to print and mail a catalog. Therefore, leverage the postage costs by circulating more pages and featuring more products.
6. Don't Eliminate the Order Form: A printed on-page order form will do. It doesn't have to be a separate bind-in order form. Often, the order form is useful for reference to a customer even when they're placing an order online or by phone.
7. Use Promotions: Use online-only promotions to drive traffic to the Internet. Use email campaigns to A/B split test offers. Test offers with no dollar minimum. Often the response rate and average order size will both increase when there is no dollar threshold.
8. Segment Internet Buyers by Source: Most mailers find buyers who come through programs such as Amazon are not profitable to mail even once since these buyers generally bought based on price and have no brand loyalty. Buyers who buy from search engines should be differentiated based on which search terms they used. For example, someone who searched on your catalog name will probably be a good customer. On the other hand, someone who searched based on something like "cheapest lamp" will most likely not be a repeat buyer. It's important to know where Internet buyers came from to determine whether they should be mailed.
9. Enhance Older Buyers on Your Housefile: Use one of the coops to enhance the older parts of your customer file. One trick is to flag older buyers who have made a coop purchase in the last year from another catalog. These names are more likely to respond even if the entire recency-frequency-monetary value (RFM) segment isn't profitable to mail in a weaker season. Alternatively, you can flag your older buyers who haven't made a coop purchase in the last 24 months. These are good suppression opportunities even in stronger RFM segments.
10. Use a Coop to Flag Holiday Season-Only Buyers. Suppressing these buyers from spring/summer mailings can boost overall performance of the buyers who are mailed.

Related to that: One of our systems at work uses UDP rather than TCP in order to simplify the detection of node loss. Rather than working with TCP retry etc and handling the variety of different ways in which "the other node is down" could be reported, the nodes simply send UDP packets to each other, and keep track of the timestamp when one was last received.

- Goldman is dealing with some upset clients after its overvaluation call on the S&P 500 last week.
- "Most client responses attempted to justify personal expectations for continued multiple expansion in 2014 ... The low interest rate backdrop was the most common client justification for continued P/E expansion." Goldman, however, looks at P/E's vs. real rates over time and finds today's pricey no matter the rate environment.
- "Many on the buy-side expect price gains of 10% to 20% this year ... the fact remains that market has rarely traded at a higher P/E outside of the tech bubble, or coming out of recessions when EPS were extremely low."

- "I don't want to miss out." a Los Angeles real estate appraiser said in a note to his financial adviser last week after seeing one pundit up his DJIA forecast to 20K.
- "Frankly, from 2009 until recently, I wanted to stay very conservative," says a technology sales manager. "I want to get more aggressive."
- A Houston attorney and stock market skeptic was turned by her Schwab statement showing YTD gains of nearly 20%. She's planning on set aside more of her paycheck for stocks. "Sometimes you feel like it's too late. But it's probably never too late."
- Inflows of $8.9B into long-only equity funds last week were the largest amount since March 2000. This follows October inflows into stock funds that were the 3rd largest on record.

- Investors poured another $12.4B into global equity funds in the week ended Wednesday, with BAML's Michael Hartnett saying another $8B-$9B of inflows over the next two weeks would trigger a contrarian sell signal in his firm's flow-based model.
- This would coincide with BAML's Bull & Bear Index, which is getting a little to bullish for comfort. Fund manager cash levels were at 4.4% in October. A dip below 4% in November, says Hartnett, would trigger a bright red Sell alert.

- Still coming to grips with the slightest hawkish twist to the FOMC statement yesterday afternoon, S&P 500 (SPY) futures are down 0.25% and the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) is off 0.45%. Facebook soared after a big earnings beat last night, then actually turned red during the earnings call, but is now higher by 3% in the premarket.
- Europe opened to the downside, but is now mostly higher, and Asia was solidly lower overnight.
- Treasury yields have regained some of their composure, the 10-year yield falling 3 basis points to 2.51%, after shooting higher yesterday afternoon post-statement. Gold's off 1% to $1,.335 per ounce.

- "The small cap valuation story has also deteriorated a bit," writes Credit Suisse's Calvasina and Mahaffy, noting the relative ratio between small caps and mid caps has gotten back in line with the long-term average.
- A bigger issue though, is absolute valuations - small and mid cap stocks have become overvalued relative to large caps which themselves are overvalued.
- Bottom line: The entire equity market has a valuation problem and the valuation of small and mid caps is little better or worse.

Wednesday, May 12013, 2:23 PM"The canaries in the market coal mine are gasping for air," says CNBC's Melissa Lee, as mild declines in the Dow (DIA -0.5%) and Nasdaq (QQQ -0.2%) belie sharp drops in small caps (IWM -1.8%) and mid caps (MDY -1.1%).

Alliance Search Problems
lucans2005 Scriptwright |
I have been noticing lately that i get this message in red across the center of the page when you do a search for Alliances. Data is from the leaderboard and may be up to 24 hours old! Click on column headers to sort It is usually colored in red. And it stops you from scrolling through the list. i believe it use to be at the bottom of the page. And it only does it on FireFox 4.0.1 not on Firefox 3.6. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thank You |
SUPER_KEG Scriptwright |
I think that the Alliance Search is the only problem I have with the Power Tools.
(I am also using Firefox 4) Any chance for a fix please? (and thanks for all of your hard work!) |

Best designer finds at low low low prices – No matter what you're looking for, chances are Filene's Basement has it for a waaaay cheaper price. I took my boyfriend shopping for work shirts here, and he spent 1/4 of his budget so he used the rest to stock up on other designer accessories - a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses, new Puma sneakers, a Kenneth Cole watch, 5 collared shirts... this all came to less than $300. They have brands from DKNY, American Eagle, and FCUK. It's pretty much like a department store with the prices slashed in half!! The handbag section is also expansive - I just purchased a gorgeous Beverly Hills Polo Club tote for $8. Yes, $8!!!! Love it.
Markdown mecca offers a wide variety of designer clothes for men and women at discounted prices. – In Short
The first Filene's Basement opened in downtown Boston in 1908. Since then, offspring have spawned across the East Coast, carrying men's and women's clothing from active wear and suits, to coats and special-occasion dresses, to shoes and sneakers. Find brands including French Connection, Tommy Hilfiger, DKNY, Kenneth Cole, Express and Calvin Klein, as well as couture from Versace, Armani and other high-end designers, all sold at a fraction of the original price.

Amazing facility!
Review by confirmed purchaser
Last week, as I was unloading my car I was shocked to see that someone had tried to break into my car through the back fixed window, who would do such a callous act to my beloved CAT! My lovingly maintained Jag, even a simple scratch is removed immediately by myself. I know that official Jag showrooms would charge a huge amount to replace the missing beading, immediately I was on my ipad searching for websites that might supply this obscure part. I was so surprised that within an hour I was sent four quotes ranging from full new price £50 down to £16.99. I immediately contacted one of the suppliers and had this part delivered to me within two days. Used but in excellent condition and matched my car model exactly. Brilliant Service!

Re: Jew,Christian, Mormon, a childs question
I'm getting that old deja vu feeling again Terry. We've been down this road a few times my friend. Here's why I keep getting involved in this discussion. I understand your position as a moderator and have no problem with not even getting into this subject again except for the fact that both you and Jack feel compelled to speak in such glowing terms about a few "sects" (not my first choice of words) that it almost sounds like an endorsement. This statement you make:
"I have never found a church anywhere that I felt everyone in it was lost.
I have never found a church anywhere that I felt everyone in it was saved.
is what I have a problem with. I can accept the second part of it about never finding a church where everyone was saved, with no problem. But I find it incomprehensible that a Christian pastor would say they've never found a church where everyone was lost.
Without naming names, you and I both know that a few religions so indoctrinate their members in their ideology that there is zero chance of there being a single member that is unaware of what their church teaches, and I can say without fear of being overly judgmental that if anyone accepts those doctrines, they are indeed lost. I can provide a list of what those damning doctrines are but I am already deeper into this discussion than I ever intended to be. Some pretty hateful and insulting things have already been said on this thread which prove the wisdom of your forum policies. So I'll make you a deal. Since I can't stand to let certain comments by without challenge, I'll just stay off this particular forum before you have to ban me. Of course you know this is nothing personal and I'll keep in touch with your privately for any doctrinal discussions.
"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!"
