Earnest, melodic, and slow to unfold, there's not a bad song on here, but surprises are few and far between.
The band's full-length debut, however, still turns up drier than Laurel Canyon. Like most of Modern Rituals, "Nothing's Wrong" because it was assembled piecemeal in Pro Tools, stiff and lifeless.

Industry in recovery mode in 2010DOWNLOAD
The latest Australian Industry Group/Deloitte CEO survey, Industry in Recovery Mode in 2010, suggests that growth in the ninety percent of the economy represented by the manufacturing, construction and services sectors is going to be reasonably solid, albeit uneven, in the year ahead. This report complements the strong showing expected from the mining sector.
"We are very pleased the economy is rebounding and looks set to consolidate this year with improving conditions anticipated across manufacturing, services and construction. However, the recovery is uneven and the rebound will not be as sharp as that which occurred following previous downturns. Despite the stronger sales and employment expectations, investment trends across these sectors remain soft and conservative," Ai Group Chief Executive, Heather Ridout, said today.
"We expect business performance in 2010 to reflect the positive drivers such as improving consumer confidence, rising household wealth and exposure to strong growth in China. Partially offsetting these positives will be the fading of fiscal stimulus, rising interest rates and the dampening impacts of the stronger dollar on exporting and import-competing businesses.
"The challenges for policy and for businesses will be to strengthen the recovery while addressing the ongoing requirement to build on the foundations of longer-term growth," Mrs Ridout said.
Manufacturing partner for Deloitte, Damon Cantwell, advised businesses that 2010 would provide a range of opportunities for companies to recover ground.
"While 2009 was characterised as a year founded on survival, 2010 offers real opportunities for growth," Mr Cantwell said.
Mr Cantwell warned companies to ensure they were across what the data was saying about how their individual sector was likely to fare through the recovery.
"The Ai Group CEO survey points to specific strategies that companies can adopt to position themselves to make the best of the recovery.
"This includes engaging with growth markets including China and India, and ensuring they are making the most of the support available through government initiatives for R&D and innovation," Mr Cantwell said.
Survey highlights:
About the survey
Background: A total of 514 CEOs in the manufacturing, services and construction sectors participated in the survey, which was conducted in the first half of December 2009. Combined, these companies had sales revenue of around $27.9 billion and employed almost 130,000 people. Based on these companies' forecasts, overall industry estimates were derived for national sales, investment, employment, exports and a number of other business indicators.

Weak-Side Defensive End Keisean Lucier-South scheduled an official visit for Notre Dame on October 4th. However, he cut Notre Dame with his most recent Top 5 list. Yesterday, he announced a Top 5 (no order) of Oregon, Florida, UCLA, Michigan and Oklahoma. The announcement of his Top 5 effectively cancels his official visit to Notre Dame.
Keisean Lucier-South ranks among the nation's best. 247Sports ranks him as the 30th best prospect in the country. The world wide leader in sports, ESPN, tabs Lucier-South as the 28th best player in the nation. Finally, Rivals places him as the 35th best recruit in the 2015 class. He holds offers from some of college football's elite programs including Alabama, Florida State, LSU, Texas and USC.
This significantly hampers Notre Dame's search for their next great Defensive End. The focus will now center around Armwood High School Defensive End Byron Cowart. He also ranks among the nation's elite. Rivals considers him the nation's top recruit. Salem, Utah's Porter Gustin also remains an excellent option for the Irish.
Lucier-South was unlikely to select the Irish even with an official visit. He may favor the Wolverines as his final destination. However, official visits (any visits for that matter) improve the chances of landing recruits. This lessens Notre Dame's chances of landing an elite Defensive End prospect.

Nepal determined to leave the LDC group in 2022
The Minister of Finance, Mr. Ram Sharan Mahat, announced that strategies to facilitate the migration from the LDC group will be part of the next periodical plan, a three-year strategic roadmap that guides Nepalese policies. The strategies will focus on infrastructure projects dealing with transport connectivity and power. These two elements are the main challenges that Nepal has to address, if the country wishes to meet the criteria to leave the LDC group. Besides infrastructure works, capital expenditure should be accelerated in order to attain a sufficient level in economic growth. Last year, 3.3 % of GDP was spent on capital investment, while it needs to be 8 to 12 % for the...
UNDESA discusses LDC graduation in the margins of the LDC conference in Benin
On 28-31 July 2014, the ministerial meeting on new partnerships for productive capacity building in the Least Developed Countries takes place. On the website of the UN High representative for LDCs, LLDC and SIDS you can find detailed information about the conference and the conference agenda. One of the side events organized during this conference is a UNDESA discussion session, where the likelihood of 24 LDCs graduating from the category by 2020 will be debated. This was one of the objectives of the IPoA. Mr. Hiroshi Kawamura (CDP Secretariat, UN/DESA) will give a presentation and Mr. Alassane Drabo (FERDI) is discussant. More information: UNOHRLLS , UNDESA event
Upcoming Ministerial Conference on Productive Capacities in LDCs
O n 28-31 July 2014, a Ministerial Conference on New Partnerships for the Development of Productive Capacities in LDCs takes place in Cotonou, Benin. The meeting will make policy recommendations on leveraging development partnerships , including through enhancing contribution of ODA, South-South cooperation, remittance earnings, FDI and other traditional forms of external finance. These recommendations are also expected to feed into the discussions on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the post-2015 development agenda.

Nepal on the road to LDC graduation
N epal might lose its LDC status by 2022. This is in accordance with the Istanbul Program of Action (IPoA). The IPoA was developed during the fourth LDC conference in Istanbul in 2011, and includes the objective to reduce the group of LDCs by half by the end of the decade. A Nepalese newspaper assesses the pros and cons that come with losing the LDC status. On the one hand, Nepal might experience a drop in received ODA and it might lose some of the trade preferences it enjoys today. The benefits mentioned, on the other hand, are national pride and the shift away from aid dependency. The author concludes that the benefits outweigh the costs, a vision that is shared by the Nepalese...

Launch of Angola's LDC Graduation book
A digital book on the process of graduation of Angola from the list of LDCs was released in Geneva, Switzerland. Co-authors, Adelino Muxito and Gilberto António, present a study of the impact of the removal of the special measures associated with the LDC status. They reach the conclusion that in the short term, graduation might not have an impact on Angolan exports, taking into account that in various markets, crude oil (which is the bulk of the Angolan exports) has zero or low customs tariffs under the general MFN regime. However, the authors argue that in the medium and long term, the graduation will eventually have an impact on the national policy of diversification of exports, due to...
Samoa graduates from the LDC category
Samoa graduated from LDC status effective 1 January 2014. It now joins Botswana, Cape Verde, and Maldives the only other countries that have left the category. In 2006, the Committee for Development Policy recommended the graduation of Samoa from the LDC category to the Economic and Social Council. The Council endorsed the recommendation in July 2007. Subsequently, the GA adopted the resolution on the graduation of Samoa, which was scheduled to take place in December 2010. On 29 September 2009, however, Samoa was hit by a devastating tsunami, which threatened to disrupt the socio-economic progress for several years. Consequently, the GA decided to give Samoa additional...
ESCAP Young Leadership Programme

The GA decided to provide Equatorial Guinea, on an exceptional basis, with an additional preparatory period of six months before the start of the three-year preparatory period leading to graduation. In addition, the GA also decided to provide Vanuatu, on an exceptional basis, with an additional preparatory period of one year before the start of the three-year preparatory period leading to graduation.

Asia-Pacific Regional Workshop on Graduation Strategies
From 4 to 6 December 2013, ESCAP, UN DESA and the Government of Cambodia jointly convene an Asia-Pacific Regional Training Workshop on Graduation Strategies, in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The workshop brings together Member governments, experts dealing with LDC issues, the UN system, relevant regional organizations, development partners and a broad spectrum of civil society representatives from Asia and the Pacific.

UNCTAD workshop on Cambodia's graduation prospects
UNCTAD held a capacity-building workshop on issues related to Cambodia's graduation from the LDC category, in Phnom Penh, from 8 to 10 October 2013. The workshop was held with participation from senior government officials from a range of Cambodian ministries and agencies. Conceptual, methodological, statistical and substantive policy issues related to graduation from LDC status were discussed. While Cambodia may not be able to meet at least two of the graduation criteria in the near future, it was reported that the country may meet the per capita income threshold in a few years' time, if its current level of economic growth continues uninterrupted. A concept note was prepared by UNCTAD...

UNCTAD workshop on graduation in Angola
At the request of the Government of Angola, UNCTAD will organize a national training and capacity building workshop on Angola's progress toward graduation from the LDCs category, on 30 July and 1 August. The workshop will review Angola's prospects, opportunities and challenges in meeting the current graduation criteria: Income (GNI per capita), Human Assets Index and Economic Vulnerability Index as well as provide an opportunity to examine the progress, challenges and opportunities relating to Angola's eventual graduation from the category of LDCs.

Cape Verde: progress continues after graduation
At a WTO Round Table, the development progress of Cape Verde was analysed and favourably reviewed. The country joined WTO in 2008, the same year it graduated from the LDC category. According to the session, Cape Verde has continued to make progress towards fater graduation despite the effects of the economic crisis. The session highlighted the importance of the EiF in the country's integration into the international trading system and stressed the importance of securing a smooth transition from the LDC category.

Nepal plans to graduate in 2022
The National Development Council of Nepal has approved the country's 13th national development plan. The plan envisages the graduation of the country from the LDC category in the next decade or by 2022. The current interim three-year plan (2010-2013) had anticipated graduation to take place in two decades, or by 2030. The new plan thus pushes graduation plans forward by 10 years.

Re: Average age of people here#44702 3 years, 2 months agoI will be 40 in just a few months.
Old enough to have been lucky enough to catch 11 Grateful Dead shows before the big guy checked out.
I'm sure everyone here (old enough) remembers where they were when they heard the terrible news. I was home, just waking up and my friend called to give me the devastating news. I had just sent in my mail order for 3 shows at MSG for fall tour, and they had just announced 2 shows for the Skydome in Toronto. Those would have been my first (and probably only) Grateful Dead shows in Canada (So much easier to plan properly when not having to cross a border crossing).Standing on the moon with nothing left to do
A lovely view of heaven but I'd rather be with you

Re: Average age of people here#44703 3 years, 2 months agoFor those of you wishing you'd been born earlier, I can sure understand wanting to have seen more pre-1995 shows, but if it makes you feel better, here are some other things to consider:
- No internet, so having to redial the Dead Hotline phone numbers over and over and over again to try and get past the busy signal in order to get info on the shows. Then once you got actually got through, trying to scribble down the info fast enough, then filling out individual index cards, money orders and #10 envelopes for every show, then worrying that you didn't do it right and it would get rejected or the envelope wasn't decorated interestingly enough to score some close seats.
- No cell phones, so trying to meet up with friends was hit or miss at best. Not to mention having to make all travel arrangements, including doing comparison shopping and reservations, via phone calls.
- Waiting weeks for a cassette tape of a show to get mailed, if you managed to find one, unless you happened to be with a taper, though that meant lugging lots of heavy analog equipment all over (I swear I still have dents in my shoulders from mic stands). Not to mention the size of the boom boxes and cassette carrying cases for listening to anything at all pre/post-show; no iPods or even Walkmans early on.
- No couch tour, no real-time (or even next day/week) set lists, no downloads
- Waiting 2 months for your special order Grateful Dead Movie VHS, and only after having to convince the video store owner that it was indeed a real movie, not obscene and yes, I really did want to pay then-big bucks for it.
The "old days" were great, I wouldn't have missed it for the world, but there's an awful lot of modern improvements that I'd hate to be without. Every era is a good era in its way!

Re: Average age of people here#44705 3 years, 2 months agoWell put Sun-Sue. But we were no less happy then. Lots of joy in those cassette tapes. Meeting up with friends seemed a liittle
more special, as it was harder to arrange. And when you finaly got your tickets, wasn't that the happiest moment ever? Ah, memories.I can't come down, it's plain to see.

(Updates with share swap terms in second paragraph.)
Feb. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Embotelladora Andina SA, Chile's largest Coca-Cola bottler, will take over rival Embotelladora Coca-Cola Polar SA in an all-stock transaction agreed to by the two companies' controllers.
Andina will swap 0.33 new share for each existing Coca-Cola Polar share, giving the latter's shareholders 20 percent of the combined company, under a memorandum of understanding signed by the controllers, according to a statement posted on the securities regulator's website.
The transaction would create one of Latin America's biggest Coca-Cola bottlers, with operations in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Paraguay and sales of $2.56 billion, according to the statement.
The two companies' controllers are scheduled to sign a merger contract by March 15, they said in the statement. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval.

The writer of this article asks:
"Which is likely to be more conducive to the discovery of truth?"
To which we might answer: if one is interested in the discovery of truth then one should either (a) find a God which can opine definitively on such matters, or (b) confine oneself to the study of Logic, which gives a narrow technical meaning to the term.
The Cowen-Hanson debate is gobbledegook. It goes awry from the very beginning when it asks:
"For good policy advice, what is the best weight to place on economic theory, versus (individual or cultural) intuitive judgment?"
The error lies in the use of adjective "good" to qualify the noun "advice". It presupposes that there is such a thing as "good" advice (which presumably may be distinguished from "not-good" advice). It is rather like asking how best to determine the odour of an electron, or the wavelength of love. If such a thing does not exist - even in principle - then no methodology can possibly determine it.
Although many economists are loathe to admit it, statements concerning "good" and "not-good" are invariably opinions. But if we accept this, where does it leave us? Specifically:
a) what is the role of economics in decision-making? and
b) is there anything further that can be said that isn't just another statement of personal opinion?
To answer the first question, economics still has a role to play in informing our opinions. (See, for example, "Towards non-vacuous economics", Free Exchange, 14 September 2007, and comments.) We may obtain subjective satisfaction from knowing that we have applied rigorous methodologies in arriving at our opinions, and it may make our opinions more persuasive to others.
On the second question we can say this:
"When aggregating the opinions of a group of individuals on the adoption or non-adoption of some specific policy, there is no a priori principle whereby the opinion of one person may be accorded greater weight than the opinions of others."
(Of course, many people believe that their own opinions ought to be accorded greater weight. But such beliefs are themselves only opinions, and accordingly are subject to the foregoing rule.)
This is an empirically falsifiable proposition. If someone does have such a principle then they are free to post it here on Free Exchange. (But beware!! I will then use it to appoint myself as Dictator of the World. I have always thought that I would make an excellent Dictator of the World if only someone would provide the logical principle to authorise my regime.)
Finally, we may make the following statement (which is a proposition from the mathematics of real numbers):
"If - in aggregating the opinions of a group of individuals on the adoption or non-adoption of some specific policy - greater weight is not accorded to the opinion of any one person or subset of the group, then all opinions must be accorded equal weight."
In other words, if there is a set of real number weightings, and no weighting is greater than the others, then all the weightings must be equal.
This is useful ammunition against those who try to construct logical arguments against democracy.

Like most older buildings on university campuses across the country, the 39,000-square-foot University of Oregon's Allen Hall for its School of Journalism and Communication was outdated and in desperate need of an upgrade. With the original footprint built in 1923, Allen Hall had a T-shaped wing added in the mid-1950s. Then in the early '90s, there was an attempt to fuse both sections together where the "T" intersected with the older building to create a new entry, but the result was a confusing circulation system.
"The building had multiple entries," said Nels Hall, president and design principal of Portland, Ore.-based YGH Architecture, who was hired by the university to bring the building into the 21st century. "It was quite unclear where the front door was. Our job was to look at how to tie the whole thing together, and to unify the interior and exterior," while also respecting the historic building's red brick facade and Mid-Century Modern, international-style addition.
"One of the key things was finding a way to create a heart through the building because that's what it lacked," noted Hall. Previously, the building had a series of corridors, and it seemed to be begging for a space that unified everything.
The solution, according to Hall, meant incorporating a three-story atrium by adding a new wing stepping back from the historic building.
"The historic facade then becomes an interior facade, so you really see the architecture of the historic building blending in with the architecture of the new," he said. "That three-story space basically breaks down into almost a figure '8' of circulation in the atrium—the old building on one side, the two wings of the old historic building and the new building crossing the atrium in two spaces, so you're always coming back to the center. There's a lot of activity there day and night."
The building has become a hub of activity. On the main level, users will encounter a cafe adjacent to the atrium, and the building's largest classroom where there's enough space to hold conferences and other events. An approximately 600-foot pedestrian mall extends to the atrium, where a three-story glass wall connects the two to serve as the building's "front door." An outdoor terrace and indoor informal meeting areas provide ample space for students to socialize and study.
The goal for the new 15,000-square-foot addition was to reflect the rapidly changing field of journalism as it switches from print to a more digital multimedia world. Replacing several traditional classrooms, the top floor of the three-story building now features a "digital commons" learning environment that is on par with the multimedia capacities you'd come to expect in some of the most regarded newsrooms today. The digital commons include large classrooms with state-of-the-art audio/visual equipment, and a production studio for doing newscasts and producing small films.
"It's a highly flexible series of teaching labs," said Hall. "There are a lot of sliding glass walls, so they could be broken down for a class lecture, or opened up for working in large groups of students, or even breaking into smaller group discussions."
While the latest addition to the building takes on a modern look, wood textures throughout add warmth and character, connecting with the outdoor environment and blending in well with the existing brick details. These elements include wood slat ceilings, built-in benches, and the atrium stairway support wall comprised of repurposed wood from an American Elm tree that once grew at that very same spot and had to make way for the new construction.
Glass is used throughout the space, from plentiful windows to glass walls that can be used as a dry erase board, projection screen, or a spot for students to display their projects. There are also a number of TV screens for making announcements and featuring student work. "You get the sense that you're in a highly connected environment," said Hall.
The building was also designed with many sustainable and energy-efficient capabilities, including daylighting, natural ventilation, operable windows for faculty offices and classrooms, and shading solutions to reduce glare in teaching spaces.
"We maximized the north and south exposures [using] glass where we can control the glare and heat gain," said Hall. "There's a sense as you walk around the building of always looking out, so corridors always end with vistas, breakout spaces and glass at the end of a corridor, and you can see out to the campus. It was a big transformation from what was essentially several interior corridors in the past."
Allen Hall may have only recently opened in the fall of 2013, but it's already receiving high marks. "It's getting a lot of use, particularly the atrium, even from other departments in the university," said Hall. "It's looking very successful in terms of being a place for students to have informal discussions and study by themselves. The state-of-the art digital commons and the high technology in the two main classrooms are going to be very flexible for many years to come."

Beautiful handling of the light across the body and through the glass, the reflected light on the cheek. The shadow on the wall gives her real 3D presence. Such an engaging glance that you captured with great subtlety, Rahina.ReplyDelete

Today while walking home someone pushed me with there car.
luckily they were not going very fast.
while i was starting to walk through a crosswalk of a residential parking lot someone came speeding up to the crosswalk, this crosswalk is not very long only one and a half cars can fit through at a time.
As i crossed the center of the crosswalk this person drove quickly to one side as if they were trying to drive out in front of me before i could finish crossing. right as they went in front of me i stopped there car headlight were literally right next to my legs.
it was at this point that they finally stopped for a few seconds. in my mind i thought they realized the mistake they made trying to go through a crosswalk when a pedestrian clearly was already in the crosswalk before them.
so i continued walking, this was a mistake on my part thinking this person was being nice and letting me finish walking as i gone past the midpoint of there car they started pushing me.
i quickly turned to face them wondering wtf is wrong with the person why were they in such a hurry that they needed to cross when someone was already in the crosswalk.
all i could think of doing was asking them did they see me walking.
oddly enough when i asked them. they didn't yell at me for getting in the way or anything of that sort they simply said "Yes i saw you walking"
in a pretty calm voice…
so this is just… I'm mad because i really don't know why someone would think it's ok to drive infront of a pedestrian when they already have the righter way. or why they needed to "race" the pedestrian by speeding really fast and also putting there car at the very edge of the crosswalk.
When a pedestrian is IN the crosswalk AT ALL you are NOT allowed to pass. i can understand if the pedestrian has not reached/entered the crosswalk but once there in it do not try to speed past them, you are putting people in danger.
end of rant. sorry about repeating things.

Lynches closes for updates
Date: June 1, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
In less than two weeks, Lynches Pub & Grub will have a new look.
The restaurant, located at 19 N. Blvd. of the Presidents, St. Armands Circle, began renovations Monday, June 1, and will re-open at 11 a.m. Saturday, June 13.
According to Lynches co-owner Chris Lynch, the work will include improvements to the lighting and awning. The ceiling, which is currently green, will be re-painted a lighter color, because the green color made the restaurant too dark, Lynch said.
"We thought it was time to give ourselves a little facelift," she said.

Wireless router is connected, no internet access, power surge?
This has probably been asked but I couldn't find anything directly relating to my problem. Last week, I lost my internet, called my ISP, and it was a problem with the modem. They replaced the modem and since then my wireless router has not worked. I assume I had a power surge that blew both the modem and the router. I "borrowed" my mother's router, same brand, but better model, which the laptop has been connected to before. I am still getting connected but it's saying that there is no internet access. The lights on the router are either a solid orange or blinking orange. I have already tried the resets, changed the IPv4, moved the router around, ect. I have full wired internet but I am running into and tripping over the cords running all over the house(running to laptop, PS3, iPhone and iPod). There is no support for the routers(both are Belkin), unless I pay $40 for a 15 min phone call. My aunt does IT and figures it's something in the house stopping the wireless signal from being picked up but she's not 100%. Like I said, both routers have been used for all my devices before. Is there any settings that I could look into? Factory reset did nothing either..
Any help or advice would be great!

Don't expect a useful replly when you so seriously short your help of valuable facts. For example, the router has many lights. Exactly which one is orange. And then quote the router manual where it says what orange for that one router means.
You post is even vague about what connects to what. Does it work wired but not wireless? Do computers talk to each other but not connect to the internet? Do wired computers connect to the internet? You did not even list he model number so that others can discover needed facts that you withheld.
Every light even has a specific name, a specific function, and maybe various colors. Orange means different things for different electronics. What does the manual say a flashing orange light means? And what do the other colors for that light report?

Workplace blamed for diet failures: Study
Workplaces could be considered one of the best reasons for diet failures, new research says.
A study conducted by Fruyo, the new fruit-based snack from the makers of Total Greek Yoghurt, reveal that over a quarter of diets fail because of unhealthy snacking at the workplace, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
Unhealthy snacks reign supreme in the office, with the top three items being cookies, chocolate and crisps. Meanwhile, healthy choices, such as fresh fruit, low fat yoghurt and crackers lag behind.
The findings also reveal that one-third of space at our desks is filled with snacks. However, for nearly one in 10 people admit to snacking in secret whilst at work, in places such behind their computer screens and even the toilets.
"These findings outline how quick we are to blame our work and our colleagues for our diet failures. I often hear employees saying it's difficult to eat healthily whilst they are working, but it doesn't have to be tricky," Fiona Hunter, nutritionist and food writer.
"I'd recommend planning healthy, protein-rich snacks, to keep your energy levels up and temptation at bay. By seeing snacking as a positive element to your working day, it'll help you to make structured, informed choices, keeping you and your diet in line," added Hunter.

Bracers of 25m saurfang, but i don't see many arms warriors using leather.

And another question, is the meta bonus worth losing some arp over? All tips/criticism are encouraged and appreciated, thanks.

Business jet support coming to Shangai
Hawker Pacific and the Shanghai Airport Authority have broken ground on a planned business aviation facility at Shanghai's Hongquiao Airport.
The new facility will include an FBO, aircraft management services and a maintenance, repair and overhaul facility geared to the corporate aircraft market.
The facility is designed to accommodate up to 6,000 aircraft movements a year.
Construction is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter.
The new facilities will provide services to both existing domestic and international corporate aircraft as well as support the anticipated growth in future corporate/
private aircraft ownership in China.
Hawker Pacific's core activities include MRO, structural modification and support services to a wide range of fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft for corporate, charter, defense and special-mission operators throughout the region.
Other services include aircraft and engine maintenance, repair and overhaul, special mission aircraft modifications, design engineering, avionics parts and service, and the provision of spare parts, exchange rotables and equipment sales.
The company's credentials include CASA Airline Support Services Certification, ISO 9001 Bureau Veritas accreditation and OEM/customer/airworthiness approval by 26 suppliers and civil and military regulatory authorities worldwide. These give the company the capacity to deliver complex special mission modifications for civil and military customers.
Hawker Pacific chief executive Alan Smith said, "We recognized early the potential offered by China as the world's fastest-growing economy and the importance of Shanghai, the country's commercial center, as being the ideal location for the provision of business aircraft services. The establishment of essential strategic relationships to achieve our goals has been a large part of the journey so far."

Making man - who is the only conscious animal in the universe - worship far more sleepy animals, is a very dangerous strategy. It means making sleepiness virtually far more superior to awareness. Animals should be loved, should be respected, because somewhere at some time they will also reach to the same consciousness as you. There is a constant evolution going on - but worshipping the animal is dangerous.
Loving the animal is absolutely human. Loving the animal shows that you can see the future of these animals' evolution. Some day they may come to the same point where we are, and some day they may come to the same height as any buddha. Regarding their future, you can be loving and respectful towards them.
But the strange phenomenon of worshipping animals means you are lower than the animals. And the thing becomes even more weird. You worship the animals - and you kill them for your food. On the one hand they are gods, and on the other hand game.
When a man kills a lion, they call it a game. And when a lion kills a man, they call it a disaster. Why do you change the word? In a game both the parties should be respected equally. For thousand of years man has been hunting without even bothering that he is destroying life. We are part of that same life. It is almost like destroying one's own hand or one's own eyes. Those animals are part of the cosmic whole just as we are. But the blindness of man can do both the things together. He can't see the so obvious contradiction that the worshipped cannot be hunted. And if you are hunting, you know perfectly well, your worship is just phony.
Do you think even for a moment that you can go hunting for God? Searching for God is okay, but hunting for God? I have never heard that expression before. But that's what you have been doing. First you make these animals gods and then you go hunting them. And you don't see the contradiction. Your consciousness is also very superficial.
This museum of gods will provoke great criticism around the world. So many cases are bound to be forced on me, but I love to fight for unpopular causes. Who cares about animals? Who bothers that much to go to the court and to fight for them? I am not only fighting for the animals that they should not be worshipped, but that they should be respected and loved. They are our common brothers and sisters. We share the same existence. We should give them the dignity that belongs to them. And we should not destroy our dignity. But the priests want us not to be dignified. They want us to be as undignified and as great sinners as possible, because that makes them saints, and that makes them mediators between God and you.
The fish in the Hindu mythology is the first reincarnation of God. Why does God go on choosing such reincarnations? - and nobody ever thinks about these incarnations. Each incarnation has committed so many crimes that it is out of the question to worship them. They should simply be listed on the criminal records.
