The Azamara Journey was presented as a 'boutique' cruise line, similar to Oceana Cruise Lines.
Here's the down and dirty: Cruise ship was great; small and intimate. Very well maintained.
Ports were fabulous! Holy Lands were a once in a lifetime experience. A must see for everyone...
Staff was very courteous and gracious.
Food was generally excellent. The main restaurant as well as the two 'special' restaurants were VERY GOOD. We did not care for the food in the buffet area. Quality in the buffet area was generally lacking.
Coffee was uniformly AWFUL. Azamara really needs to pay attention to this detail.
Entertainment: Orchestra was very good. Very! Singers/Dancers..well, they did what they could. Some of them were rather long of tooth and appeared to be arthritic.. While the entertainment was not great, it was passable.
Cost: very competitive. We feel it was a very good value.
Shore excursions: Staff was very helpful. Prices were somewhat high IMHO.
Would we go again: Perhaps...maybe...probably..
DW and I do not think that Azamara is quite as good as Holland America. HAL's food is consistently superior, in the buffet section as well as their main restaurants. Staff on HAL were much more 'personable'. We noted that while the staff on Azamara was very good and courteous, they were not as warm or friendly as the HAL staff.

Stop the Houston Heights Area Wal-Mart!
Wal-Mart is considering building a new store near the Houston Heights, on a vacant parcel of land south of I-10 near the intersection of Yale Street and Center Street. According the the Houston Chronicle, a development site plan shows that they are planning for a 152,015 square-foot store. Whatever your reason may be for not wanting a Wal-Mart in your area, this petition was created to let Wal-Mart know that we want them to stay away from our neighborhood!

I ask myself this question all the time! Who would I be if I had never picked up a pencil and started "doodling". What would my life be like, would it be better?! Would it be worse?! Has spending most of my freetime on art effected relationships that I could've had? Has it effected relationships that I do have?
I guess you could say that I am a person who dreams about "what if's". And I don't think that there is anything wrong with that.
My dream, is to somehow, someway...change the world with my art. A BIG DREAM!! I know! But that's what I'd like to do. One of my favorite things about art is its ability to change a person. I love how subjective it is. I love the fact that you and I can look at the same piece of art and get 2 completely different feelings from the piece!
Its awesome!

When you think of the number of men in the world who hate each other, why, when two men love each other, does the church split?
Anthony Neil Wedgwood Benn
The only thing as bad as bad comedy is bad action. Bad Boys II has plenty of both. In fact, those two things are all it has, unless you count the small helping of bad drama. When it comes to this movie, the word "bad" initially seems highly appropriate. But Bad Boys II isn't just bad it's a catastrophic violation of every aspect of cinema that I as a film critic hold dear. It seems to have been constructed with terms like "unwatchable" and "godawful" as its slogans. There are motion picture failures every year the resumes of Hollywood players are littered with them. But, when something this big a would-be blockbuster with recognizable names in the cast and crew collapses in such a spectacular fashion, it's worth taking note. Think of how many starving children could have been fed with the money that was poured into [director] Michael Bay's latest sinkhole.

In absolute terms, I am the most legally persecuted man of all times, in the whole history of mankind, worldwide.

In almost every act of our lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons [...] who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires that control the public mind, who harness old social forces and contrive new ways to bind and guide the world.

Don't ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
Howard Washington Thurman
Art is the principal way in which the human mind has tried to remake the world in a way that makes sense. The carefully edited, slow-motion, action replay of a rugby tackle, a car crash or a sex act has more significance than the original event. Thanks to virtual reality, we will soon be moving into a world where a heightened super-reality will consist entirely of action replays, and reality will therefore be all the more rich and meaningful.
James Graham Ballard
Some people want to make the world a better place. I just wanna make the world a better-looking place. If you don't like it, you can paint over it!

Iris Murdoch
In Las Vegas, people seem to believe, the prosperity spawned by tourism and gaming can make them whole, financially and spiritually. Las Vegas now melds fun, work, and wealth, showing a path toward the brightest vistas of the postindustrual world. It is the first city of the twenty-first century.
Las Vegas exists chiefly to satisfy the needs and desires of its visitors, and this it does in spectacular fashion. Sin City has taken or re-created the best that other great cities have to offer and then upped the ante -- making it bigger, grander, flashier.
Stoning prophets and erecting churches to their memory afterwards has been the way of the world through the ages. Today we worship Christ, but the Christ in the flesh we crucified.
Mahatma Gandhi
I am in love with this world. I have nestled lovingly in it. I have climbed its mountains, roamed its forests, sailed its waters, crossed its deserts, felt the sting of its frosts, the oppression of its heats, the drench of its rains, the fury of its winds, and always have beauty and joy waited upon my goings and comings

Leonora Speyer
I waited day and night for the voice of God within me, to know what He had to say to me, to learn what I had to do. In this seclusion the earliest realisation, the first lesson came to me. I remembered then that a month or more before my arrest, a call had come to me to put aside all activity, to go in seclusion and to look into myself, so that I might enter into closer communion with Him. I was weak and could not accept the call. My work was very dear to me and in the pride of my heart I thought that unless I was there, it would suffer or even fail and cease; therefore I would not leave it. It seemed to me that He spoke to me again and said, "The bonds you had not the strength to break, I have broken for you, because it is not my will nor was it ever my intention that that should continue. I have had another thing for you to do and it is for that I have brought you here, to teach you what you could not learn for yourself and to train you for my work." Then He placed the Gita in my hands. His strength entered into me and I was able to do the sadhana of the Gita. I was not only to understand intellectually but to realise what Sri Krishna demanded of Arjuna and what He demands of those who aspire to do His work, to be free from repulsion and desire, to do work for Him without the demand for fruit, to renounce self-will and become a passive and faithful instrument in His hands, to have an equal heart for high and low, friend and opponent, success and failure, yet not to do His work negligently. I realised what the Hindu religion meant. We speak often of the Hindu religion, of the Sanatan Dharma, but few of us really know what that religion is. Other religions are preponderatingly religions of faith and profession, but the Sanatan Dharma is life itself; it is a thing that has not so much to be believed as lived. This is the Dharma that for the salvation of humanity was cherished in the seclusion of this peninsula from of old. It is to give this religion that India is rising. She does not rise as other countries do, for self or when she is strong, to trample on the weak. She is rising to shed the eternal light entrusted to her over the world. India has always existed for humanity and not for herself and it is for humanity and not for herself that she must be great.
Sri Aurobindo
However, there are all sorts of behaviours in the Bible that might be called mad now, but aren't designated as insanity by the text itself. People see visions of angels going up and down ladders, of fiery chariots and, like Moses, who hears a bush talking, and Balaam the prophet who has a conversation with his donkey, they hear voices of those who cannot be said to be present in any usual sense of the word. They also speak in tongues, as the disciples do at Pentecost. Like madness, the visions, the voices and the speaking in tongues are due to external and usually divine agencies. In a world so permeated with supernatural powers, there are no accidents, and in one so riddled with prophets who went into a frenzy while prophesying many more kinds of behaviour were accepted as normal, at least for a prophet or an inspired person, than would be the case now. John the Baptist, dressed in animal skins and wandering around in the wilderness denouncing his social superiors, was not thought of as a de-institutionalized street person who's gone off his medications, but as a saint. And this was the pattern for mediaeval views of aberrant behaviour if you were acting crazy it was a divine punishment, or else you were possessed, by powers either divine or demonic perhaps aided, in the latter case, by witches.
Margaret Eleanor Atwood
There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.

"A Different Kind of Striving: Jihad as Peacemaking"
Middle East and Islamic Studies Forum Presents
"A Different Kind of Striving: Jihad as Peacemaking"
Professor Asma Afsaruddin
Chair & Professor, Department of Near Eastern Languages & Cultures
Adjunct Professor, Department of Religious Studies
Indiana University
Mon Mar 25, 430 pm Harrison 111
Abstract: There are a number of contemporary Muslim scholars and activists who focus on non-violent personal and social transformation as the best form of striving in the path of God - that is to say, of the enterprise known as jih??d in Islamic thought and practice. They typically emphasize the Qur???anic virtue of patient forbearance as the most important aspect of jih??d, and therefore of non-violent resistance to wrong-doing, particularly when committed by the state/government, whether comprised of indigenous rulers or foreign occupiers. After September 11, their works are becoming better known especially as an antidote to the militant literature that in general receive better press and wide-spread publicity. This lecture will present some of the key features of the thought and writings of three scholars and activists who are arguably the best-known and the most prolific among contemporary writers on this topic. They are Jawdat Sa???id from Syria, Wahiduddin Khan from India, and Fethullah G??len from Turkey.
Asma Afsaruddin is Professor of Islamic Studies and chairperson of the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at Indiana University, Bloomington. She is the author and/or editor of six books, including the forthcoming Striving in the Path of God: Jihad and Martyrdom in Islamic Thought (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2013); the recently published Islam, the State and Political Authority: Medieval Issues and Modern Concerns (New York: Palgrave, 2011); The First Muslims: History and Memory (Oxford: OneWorld Publications 2008); and Excellence and Precedence: Medieval Islamic Discourse on Legitimate Leadership (Leiden: E.J. Brill, 2002). She has also written over fifty research articles, book chapters, and encyclopedia entries exploring issues as diverse as pluralism in the Qur???an, moderation in Islamic thought; exegetical, legal, and ethical approaches to war and peace in Islam, political Islam and

Angry Birds addicts crash GetJar site
Android users eager to play Rovio's free Angry Birds game have toppled the servers at GetJar. Interested parties got an email from Rovio saying that the beta was finally over, and that an advertising-supported version of the irate avian vs larcenous porcine game would be available shortly - initially at GetJar and soon on the …
Damn tease
"Perhaps by Monday we can all be lording it over those poor souls sporting Windows phones - the only platform on which the game doesn't yet run. "
You had me all excited there for a moment, but then I checked, and nope, no Blackberry OS port yet.
only remaining platform?
I guess Bill doesn't recognize some of the other players on the market.... where's my angry birds for Blackberry?
Do people still use them?
RIM marketshare is plummeting, the Play Pad or whatever stupid name they have given it won't save them.
Android is taking marketshare from all the others.
83% of stats are made up on the spot
So, where are your stats from?
mine are from goldman sachs.
while android *IS* growning in marketshare, it is doing so at the expense of symbian, non-android linux, and Windows mobile, NOT Blackberry. Blackberry marketshare is unchanged in the last year (a marketshare that beats iPhone, Android, and Windows Mobile).
only remaining platform?
Can't seem to find the PC version. Or are computers (and consoles?) suddenly not gaming platforms?
Ah well, back to stomping Giant Death Robots over Japan in CIV5 then...
(terminator, death robot - if not a particularly giant one.)
I thought touchwiz was an interface, not a phone....
Rockin it on my galaxy though. :)
Oh great another android app store. These things are to android as the fart app is to iOS.
By monday it should be available on the Android market, so no need to even go near GetJar.
Awesome game
Angry Birds is such a slick game and to get it for nothing is a bargain. The way ads is integrated is a bit irritating though - I think it would be less annoying to put it on the dialogs rather than overlay it over the start of levels. I'm surprised they don't offer to disable ads for a dollar because I expect they'd make even more money. BTW It's up on Android Marketplace so getjar is not the only site it can be obtained from. Great game and hopefully its appearance is a sign of things to come.
Rovio tweeted at the weekend that the reasons they didn't offer a paid version straight away and went for the ad supported model was that they wanted the game released worldwide, but paid apps aren't available in some countries and paid apps have never done particularly well on Android.
Apparently a paid version with no ads will be forthcoming. :)
And this is WHY we use Google Android Market, with it's proper infrastructure. Google must be laughing their ass off at this total clusterfuck….
Doesn't work
Got the download yesterday installed fine but doesn't run properly on my xperia x10 app loads but just a blank screen. Presumably fine on a lot of phones but not impressed with my experience on android with angry birds.
Still the ultimate time waster on the iPad.
Okay... I won't install it on my phone then. Too old, it chokes on jars much smaller than that!

Musicians Who Defined Nineties Style
From Beastie Boys to Gwen Stefani, the artists who ruled the decade's fashionLATEST PHOTOS
blog comments powered by Disqus
Courtney Love
Perhaps no one embodied the sudden reactionary shift in Nineties beauty and style ideals better than Courtney Love. She took a cue from the Riot Grrl scene and paired babydoll dresses with smeared eyeliner and torn stockings to create the cynical "kinderwhore" look, an instant obsession of every girl who felt like an outcast in the mid-1990s. Consider it a slightly more politically charged version of grunge; apathy turned into ruinous angst, which soon became high fashion's favorite pose. It was a force of nature that sent shockwaves through mainstream Nineties style.

Series Summary
Have you ever been asked a tough question? Have you ever been challenged on your faith? Have you ever asked the tough questions yourself? Why do you believe what you believe? Are you content with always saying, "I don't know." In this series, we take a detailed look at the "why" behind the "what" in Christianity. What Jesus actually God? How can we know the Bible is true? How can we prove creation vs. evolution? Did Jesus really rise from the dead, and does it really matter? What separates Christianity from all other religions? These are just a few of the questions, we'll tackle in this series! Be sure to check back each week, as we'll be adding video clips, audio, and PDFs of real information you can use in your everyday conversations with people about Christianity!
Week 1 - Prove_Jesus (download)
11/2 - Jon Kragel
Almost all historians agree that Jesus existed as a person. The evidence is too overwhelming to state that He simply didn't exist. Where people disagree, however, is in the role Jesus played in history. Was Jesus actually God? Did He ever say that He was God? How can one prove that Jesus was God? Is Jesus being divine even important? Check the audio by clicking the arrow above, or feel free to click the links below for detailed answers to these tough questions.

Week 2 - Prove_Bible (download)
11/9 - Chad Moore
What is the Bible? Was the Bible inspired by God, or simply written by men about God? Does the Bible have mistakes? Why is the inerrancy of the Bible important? How can we trust what we have today to be the Bible that was originally written two thousand years ago? Listen to this powerful message as Chad discusses these questions and more!

Week 3 - Prove_Creation (download)
11/16 - Jon Kragel
These two videos demonstrate two very important truths... First, as a whole, most people don't think about the most important truths in life (from the interviews). Second, the Flash 3 Productions video demonstrates that design points to a designer, which can be recognized from something as simple as building blocks.
The question is not if you believe, but what you believe... Where did this world come from? Can you actually prove creation? Listen as Jon offers four ways to defend the view creation for explanation the origin of the world.

Week 4 - Prove_Resurrection (download)
1 Corinthians 15:14 states, "And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith..." Thankfully, Scripture does not stop there, as verse 20 notes, "But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead." In this lesson, Jon demonstrates five irrefuteable facts regarding the resurrection of Jesus Christ, as well as why the resurrection is important to Christianity today.

Week 5 - Prove_Christianity (download)
With so many religions in the world, can someone truly say that there is one true religion? Does absolute truth exist or is everything relative?
Yes, absolute truth exists. To say that there are no absolute truths is (in fact) an absolute statement. While our perception might be subjective, truth is objective, existing beyond one person's life or train of thought. This makes sense in that the world existed before we came into it, as well as the world exists without our presence, so truth can not merely be explained by personal experience. For example, while one person might not have physically been to China, it would be foolish to argue that China does not exist.
In this lesson, Jon breaks down major components of different religions, and he explains why Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, which separates Christianity from the rest of the world.

Milford is a luxury tweed that rides the fine line between rustic and upscale. Three plies of wool, alpaca and silk create a nubby, colorful fabric, while a touch of synthetic fiber keeps things light. We suggest a US 10 for quick knitting, lofty garments.
43% Pure New Wool – 22% Alpaca – 21% Acrylic – 14% Silk
Made with the highest grade of alpaca available, Royalpaca is an incomparably soft yarn that fools the eye. At first glance you might assume that this is a roving style single ply, but a closer look reveals a strong silk netting holding the brushed alpaca fibers together. Finished fabric has all the softness of a single ply but will resist the pilling associated with that construction.
78% Royal Alpaca – 22% Silk
This lightweight luxury yarn is a transeasonal wonder. Lusciously soft baby alpaca is enriched with the elegant drape and gleam of mulberry silk and the rustic tactile appeal of linen. Dyed in soft pastels, beachy brights and glowing neutrals, Rylie is ravishing.

When historians study hubris, they usually tell stories about the dazzling, cruel, or ill-fated exploits of specific people—presidents, dictators, revolutionaries. In Fatal Misconception, Matthew Connelly, an associate professor of history at Columbia University, looks instead at an idea: controlling human reproduction. Bold in its claims and wildly arrogant in its approach, the international population control movement of the 20th century provides a stark example of the harms that can occur in the name of benevolence. As Connelly describes in this meticulously researched and well-argued study,
Scientists and activists organized across borders to press for common norms of reproductive behavior. International and nongovernmental organizations spearheaded a worldwide campaign to reduce fertility. Together they created a new kind of global governance, in which proponents tried to control the population of the world without having to answer to anyone in particular.
As Connelly tells it, the population control movement faced the perverse challenge of trying to reverse an extraordinary human achievement: "In the last century, humanity has experienced more than twice as great a gain in longevity as in the previous two thousand centuries, and more than four times the growth in population." But with rapid growth in population came fears of social disruption and food scarcity. The "misery and the fear of misery" caused by overpopulation that mathematician Thomas Malthus first described in 1798 remained a constant concern in Europe and the U.S. During the late 19th century, these anxieties fueled the drive to categorize and make systematic a world that seemed out of control; among the most popular ways of doing this was dividing the world up into different ethnic or racial groups, some deemed more favorable than others. In the United States, fears of "race suicide," an influx of immigrants from Asia and Southern and Eastern Europe, and concerns about the growth of the so-called feebleminded population at home led to the embrace of eugenics, the movement to improve the human race through better breeding practices.
In the 1920s, efforts by activists to organize a birth control movement gained traction, and advocates of population control eventually supplanted eugenicists as the more effective voices for limiting reproduction, Connelly argues. By the '30s, the phrase "family planning" became popular, and the global economic crisis prompted more converts to the idea that overpopulation was a definite peril. As Connelly reminds us, during the Depression, "birth control was one of the few American industries to prosper, serving a $250 million market by 1938." And with many more people relying on government assistance, the notion that the state and its experts should have a greater say in who should and should not reproduce began to gain acceptance. In other words: don't breed if the state is the hand that feeds you. By 1937, even the staid American Medical Association had approved family planning.
One of the strengths of Connelly's history is its global scope, and as he demonstrates, India soon became the proving ground—and often the exploitative laboratory—for many population theories in circulation. American birth control activist Margaret Sanger famously debated Gandhi in the '30s and traveled the Indian countryside dispensing her wisdom and hawking a contraceptive foam powder she had never bothered to have tested, even on animals, before distributing it to clinics in India. By the '40s, Connelly writes, "Innumerable Americans and Europeans...traveled to India, witnessed 'overpopulation' firsthand, and returned ashen-faced, suitably appalled, to tell others of their experience." As one British colonial administrator bluntly put it, in India, "The people multiply like rabbits and die like flies." Despite concerted efforts to control reproduction, however, activists were flummoxed that "even the poorest people could not be relied upon to want fewer children." In the decades to come, population control enthusiasts willfully ignored this lesson.
The '50s saw the creation of a "population establishment" that adopted a more global, beneficent tone than the eugenic-minded rhetoric of earlier days. Rather than persuade developing nations such as India, Pakistan, and South Korea to limit their populations for eugenic purposes, they argued that by "rationalizing and redirecting reproduction, they could make their people modern in a single generation." And as Connelly notes, for the leaders of this establishment, "controlling the birth of this new Third World was just part of a larger plan to remake humanity." Nevertheless, Connelly argues that throughout the population control movement a form of "crypto-eugenics" still held sway. As one adherent described his approach, "You seek to fulfill the aims of eugenics without disclosing what you are really aiming at and without mentioning the word." New euphemisms abounded, including talk of "population quality" rather than limiting births and birth control for "those who needed it most," which meant "the very poorest people."
Money began flowing into the coffers of population control organizations during these years. The Ford Foundation emerged as a party with deep pockets and deep interest in controlling world population growth: by the early 1960s, "The number of Ford personnel in Delhi rivaled the American embassy staff." The Rockefeller Foundation also spent lavishly, and the Khanna Study, for example, funded Harvard University researchers who fanned out across villages in Punjab to record how often villagers were having sex and keep track of women's menstrual cycles. Yet even this richly funded, meticulous (and intrusive) effort proved a failure. As Connelly reports, "After five years, the birth rate of those provided with contraceptives was higher than that of the control group. After a follow-up study featuring even more intensive efforts, it was still higher."
During its period of professionalization in the '50s and '60s, as the movement grew in power and influence, it also launched an intensive media campaign. Direct-mail solicitations from organizations such as the World Population Emergency Campaign subtly stoked Western fears by distributing images of starving hordes in the Third World.
Money translated into action. In places like India, movement money funded "mobile vasectomy camps" where, during one five-week period in 1960, nearly 15,000 people were sterilized. Alan Guttmacher, president of Planned Parenthood-World Population, launched an intense effort in the early '60s to place IUDs (intrauterine devices) in the wombs of as many women as possible, despite reports showing risks of infection and other complications. The appeal of the IUD was clear to people like Guttmacher: "No contraceptive could be cheaper, and also, once the damn thing is in the patient cannot change her mind." The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) soon issued a press release endorsing the use of IUDs as a safe and effective means of birth control. The practice of sending questionable contraceptive devices overseas continued for decades. In the late 1960s, when the manufacturers of the Dalkon Shield IUD began facing lawsuits over the safety of its device in the U.S., it offered to sell the devices, unsterilized and at half price, to the U.S. Agency for International Development. USAID bought them and by the time the Dalkon Shield recall order was issued in 1975, nearly half a million women in 42 countries were using them.
Also by the 1960s, population workers spoke of "targets" who must be made to become "acceptors" of birth control. Urged on by the Ford Foundation, U.N. agencies, and the IPPF, clinics in India began paying people who submitted to IUD insertion or sterilization as well as "motivators" who convinced others to be sterilized. The movement had transformed from a catch-all group of activists into a "jet set of population experts"—with all of the attendant entitlements. Activists like Alan Guttmacher traveled first class at the IPPF's expense. He was known to write breezy letters with opening salutations such as, "This is written 31,000 feet aloft as I fly from Rio to New York."
Opposition from the Catholic Church (which was formulating its own policies on natural family planning during the 20th century) was a significant force, particularly in the early years of the movement, but Connelly argues convincingly that although religious challenges were important, the movement was its own worst enemy. "Growing disarray at the top, grassroots opposition from below, and a continuing tendency to remove all checks and balances would send it careening out of control." The movement suffered from a lack of transparency about its goals and practices. It bore a striking resemblance to the very act it sought to control: lots of fumbling and groping in the dark, and often questionable alliances. Perhaps the most damning evidence Connelly presents about the population movement is the simplest: it didn't work. As he notes, "Birth rates were actually falling in the 1960s in most of the world, at virtually the same rate as literacy was increasing among women."
By the 1970s, despite the fact that Paul Ehrlich's best-selling book The Population Bomb (which began with a description of the crowded conditions on a "stinking hot night in Delhi") had sold two million copies, the movement was a mess. India was once again the proving ground. After launching an intense, coercive population control policy that was viewed as a model by the movement, Indira Ghandi was resoundingly rejected by her people during elections in 1977. Population control, it turned out, "had no mandate."
Although the movement soon shifted its attention to pursuing a broader campaign for women's rights rather than merely controlling fertility, it did not entirely reject coercive measures. International aid money from the U.N. and from non-governmental organizations such as the IPPF helped China establish the eugenics and one-child policies that have led to forced abortions and infanticide of girl babies. In the '80s, pro-life groups in the U.S. launched an effective campaign to convince the Reagan Administration to withhold funding to the U.N. Population Fund unless it took a stand against such "coercive family planning."
Connelly manages well the challenge of pulling together the many threads of his story; the only weak part of his narrative is the vague call for a "reproductive freedom" that is both "pro-life and pro-choice, combining forces to oppose population control of any kind" he makes in his conclusion. But this is only a minor flaw in an otherwise impressive study.
After taking it all in, one is tempted to invoke the hackneyed warning about the road to hell being paved with good intentions. To be sure, many of these activists sincerely wanted to help other people, and thought that fitting them with diaphragms or sterilizing them was the way to do it. But one of the consistent themes that emerges from Connelly's book is just how many of the people intent on controlling others' reproductive lives actually had less elevated intentions. Many of them simply wanted to prevent the wrong sort of people from ever being born. "Population control presented itself as a charity like any other, helping less fortunate people," Connelly writes, "But it was the only one that promised to make them go away."
Today, population control is discussed as a global environmental problem or a women's rights issue. Activists argue about "population stabilization" and the optimum number of people the planet can support. The message is deceptively simple: have fewer children, invest more resources in them, and modernity will soon follow. Yet the population control movement's slogan—"every child a wanted child"—proves hollow in a context where its target audience of women often lack access to education and medical care. As Connelly's history shows, individual reproductive practices are extraordinarily difficult to control—not just technically, but culturally and socially. Throughout the book, he challenges us to look not only at the motivations of the activists who sought to control population, but at their actions. "When people set out to save the world," he reminds us, "the devil is in the details."
Connelly's book stands as a warning about the dangers of seeing people as nameless numbers. The movement's conceit grew out of an unwillingness to recognize the intrinsic humanity and rights of the individual; a readiness to act—and compel—in the name of an amorphous global social conscience; and an eagerness to invoke science and technology to treat problems that are, at root, political. In the end, as Connelly writes, "The great tragedy of population control, the fatal misconception, was to think that one could know other people's interests better than they knew it themselves."

There's only one thing to drink at a party that revolves around attaching rhinestones to fabric and that's sparkling wine. Although we haven't decided which sparkling to pour (favorites as of late are Sofia, anything by Ayala, and Pommery Gold) FabSugar and I will have plenty of bubbly chilling on ice. We'll also offer guests a specialty champagne cocktail. While grapefruit is a polarizing ingredient, its elegant jewel-tone color fits in perfectly with our theme. The drink is a combination of fresh-squeezed ruby grapefruit juice and sparkling wine. When making a cocktail that involves sparkling wine, don't be afraid to select a more affordable bottle.

text: Demand for crawfish is growing as the weather warms up and we get closer to Easter weekend. And it turns out supply may be having trouble keeping up with demand. LSU Ag Center crawfish expert Dr. Greg Lutz says crawfish producers aren't catching as much. "Over large areas, the catch has dropped off some," Lutz told WWL First News. "That seems to be going on right now. He says prices have already started to climb "Supply has been going down because price has gone up a little bit," he said. "Part of that, too, is because just the time of year and everyone wants crawfish over the next week or two, and that will push it up some, but a lot of farmers really are frustrated that they're not catching more crawfish." Lutz said although there's not an explanation for the decline in catch, consumers shouldn't have trouble finding the critters at fair prices, either.

LOVE is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves.

The Torch Stick was built for new lacrosse players. The wide head design and bigger pocket area make throwing and catching a breeze. Ultra Mesh pocket allows for minimal break in period with great hold.
Things I Liked:
Very solid, lightweight, balanced.
Things to Improve:
Maybe a deeper pocket, but that's something I can adjust as I learn more about the game.
Full Review:
My son and I are both new to the game. I bought this stick and the STX AV8 U. I chose to use the STX stick, but my son is very happy with his Warrior. I would be happy to use it, as well. Perfect for a couple of news like us.

Lewis Lapham on Legalizing Drugs, Hating the Facebook, and Curating the Past at Lapham's Quarterly
"Intoxication is the becoming of someone else or the going to somewhere else," says Lewis Lapham, editor and founder of Lapham's Quarterly. Soon after stepping down as the long-time editor at Harper's Magazine, Lapham started his eponymous quarterly - a curated magazine of historical essays, poetry, quotes, and excerpts focusing on a single topic. In the latest issue, which deals with the subject of intoxication, Lapham candidly discusses his use of drugs and alcohol and why he believes pot and most other substances should be legal.
Lapham sat down with Reason's Nick Gillespie to discuss his magazine, American's unique relationship to intoxicants, and why he likens Facebook and Google to Soviet NKVD and the Gestapo.

"I'm trying to make available a resource. I'm not trying to data mine it to sell something. Television is advertising, and increasingly advertising gets on to the internet. It's a pitch."
Jimmy James: Let me tell you something, little miss. Advertising pays our bills. Advertising pays your salary. Advertising is what made this country great!
Lisa: Well, okay, maybe I misspoke...
Jimmy James: What was the Constitution of the United States?

Yep, Facebook absolutely sucks donkey balls, unless you're the sort of person who likes having all of his personal information shared with Block Insane Yomomma and all the shitheads in his administration.
Assuming Facebook is sending them our data? Because you can set your profile so only some people can see it.
It doesn't matter what your settings are set to, Zuckerberg is sharing everything on there with his buddies in the administration (and other entities as well). I got off that piece of crap site a while ago and would never visit it again.
Your faith is touching, in a way. Facebook makes a bazillion dollars by monetizing data from its
productusers. They provide some sops to privacy, but it's no coincidence that their EULA is longer than the Magna Carta, Declaration of Independence, and Constitution including all amendments, combined. The privacy settings aren't that buried and hard to use because of poor design, either. They work *exactly* as designed. -
This is a good news to me...

REECAS Graduate Certificate Brochure
The Ellison Center at the Henry M. Jackson School is proud to announce the new Graduate Certificate in Russian, East European, Central Asia Studies (REECAS). The program is designed for graduate students to acquire in-depth knowledge of REECA regions and to develop interdisciplinary analytical and academic skills by taking sixteen student-credit hours at the 500 level or above. Students will have the opportunity to work with over 60 faculty members who are nationally recognized leaders in the REECA field. The Certificate will be an added qualification for students already pursuing professional, masters, or doctoral degrees.
• Matriculated Graduate Students
• Matriculated Professional Students
• International Scholars & Fellows engaged in research &funded training programs at UW.
Note: Students are not required to have previous regional language experience, however language experience will strengthen their application.
• Provide a thorough grounding in REECA history and key economic, social and political issues affecting contemporary society in the region.
• Improve oral and written communication skills
• Enhance understanding of the relationship between REECA and other areas of the world and to global questions of political, social, cultural and environmental change.
• Bibliography and Research Methods [JSIS A 504] (5 credits) provides a basic intellectual foundation for graduate-level study of Russia, East Europe, and Central Asia through a historical exploration of some of the key issues underlying social and political change throughout the region. Students are introduced to UW Library resources, read key texts, write essays, and participate in discussions on a series of core topics taught by various REECAS faculty members: the collapse of empires and the rise of the nation-state; the nature of Stalinism; the sources of regional ethnic conflict and cooperation; and the challenges of current-day globalization (Offered every Fall).
• Graduate Certificate Capstone [JSIS A 512] (1 credit) Working with an adviser, students compile a portfolio containing (i) two revised and expanded essays: one from JSIS A 504 AND one from an elective course; (ii) a framing essay (5000 words) which describes why they entered the REECAS Graduate Certificate program, and reflects on what they have learned by articulating a framework that connects the two essays they have written and revised, and considers how the graduate certificate has prepared them for their careers. Students are encouraged to present their portfolios at the REECAS NW Conference which the Ellison Center hosts each spring.
• Two Elective REECA focused courses (10 credits). Elective courses are typically in the Departments of Anthropology, Economics, Geography, History, Comparative Literature, International Studies Political Science and Sociology.
A maximum of six of these credits may apply to a student's degree program (these "double counted" credits must be elective coursework in the degree program). Courses offered by the Department of Slavic Languages and Literature, Baltic Studies or Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, which are not language courses, such as Baltic Cultures, can also be taken to fulfill the elective requirement [see full list of options on the Ellison Center web site].

Hawkeye Women Win Ugly Over Iowa StateBy Jeff Linder, Reporter
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Jaime Printy grabbed the final rebound of the game and raised a fist toward the Carver-Hawkeye Arena ceiling.
Morgan Johnson loped to Printy and embraced her as the final seconds ticked off. Johnson's words? "We got it." And, as ugly as it was, they're not throwing it back. The lowest women's basketball game in Iowa-ISU history went to the Hawkeyes, 50-42, Thursday night before a crowd of 4,483. "It was an incredible defensive battle," Iowa Coach Lisa Bluder said. "It was a battle the whole way." Iowa (7-3) jumped to a 14-0 lead, lost it, then was able to grind it out at the end. The Hawkeyes shot 29 percent from the field, No. 22 Iowa State (5-1) shot 26 percent. "That was ugly," ISU Coach Bill Fennelly said as he began his press session. "It's tough to spot a team two touchdowns at the beginning of the game. I'm proud of our effort, but the difference was, we couldn't make a shot." The outcome meant the home team has won 11 of the last 12 games in this series. Iowa seniors Johnson, Printy and Trisha Nesbitt won their swan song against the Cyclones. "We talked about picturing the moment," Johnson said. "To go out with a win, it's a great feeling." The Hawkeyes' delight was the Cyclones' misery. ISU's Hallie Christofferson sniffed back tears afterward. A scribe asked her why the loss stung so much. "Because it's Iowa," she said. "There's not much more to say." ISU didn't score until Nikki Moody's 3-pointer, more than 7-minutes into the game. The Hawkeyes led 14-0 before that, but the Cyclones rallied within 20-17 at halftime. The Cyclones took their only lead at 26-24 on Christofferson's 3-pointer with 12:20 left in the game. Iowa went on a 15-2 run to seemingly reclaim control at 39-28, but the Cyclones countered with 11 straight points to tie it, 39-39, with 3:50 to go. The final run belonged to the Hawkeyes. Melissa Dixon drilled a 3-pointer with 3:30 left to put Iowa in front for good. Then, Dixon scored on a feed from Bethany Doolittle to make it 47-42 with 1:26 to go. "I was definitely feeling it," she said. "My teammates got me the ball, and I was open." Dixon and Theairra Taylor led the Hawkeyes with 11 points apiece. Jaime Printy added 10. "Our scouting report on Dixon was to guard her just like you'd guard Printy," Fennelly said. "She wasn't a surprise." Johnson scored seven points, the first time this season she has been held to single digits. Moody paced ISU with 12 points. Christofferson and 6-foot-7 Anna Prins added 10 apiece, and Christofferson grabbed 13 rebounds. The 92 combined points was by far the fewest in the 43 Iowa-ISU games. It eclipsed the 102 points scored two years ago in Iowa's 62-40 victory. Iowa State's Chelsea Poppens missed the game due to lingering effects from a concussion. "When you don't have your best player, it's hard," Fennelly said. "But that's not an excuse."

Our dovetail workholding product allows for unprecedented access and clearance to all five sides of a workpiece and is designed to hold the fixture rigidly in place.
Raptor is Adaptable. Our workholding products can fit any machine and any solution. We have a variety of fixtures, Nests, rails adapters and risers built to attach directly to the most popular CNC machines. Our product line is modular in design and that is one of the reasons why our products are affordable. Multiple Raptors can be mounted to tombstones, Nests and base plates.
