I Bought an iPad mini to use with my tmobile data plan. The tmobile and 3G shows up in the upper left corner but I get no data. What carrier settings should I be on, 14 or 14.1? Also is there proper apn settings I can use to get data my iPad mini? It is updated to the latest iOS 6.1.3.
Hi christopher.ayangco,
Take a look at T-Mobile Internet and MMS settings: Apple iPhone to make sure all of your APN settings are correct. If your settings are correct, take a look at Wi-Fi troubleshooting: Apple iPhone. There you will see information on how to troubleshoot issue while connected to the T-Mobile network, and wi-fi.
The answer supplied isn't helpful, the iPad Mini doesn't have MMS settings for one thing and this doesn't address whether or not T-mobile LTE spectrum is in the iPad Mini range. These of s that use iPad Mini's on aT-Mobile network have no idea how your towers are configured and no way to find out. So is it to be hit and miss for us or what? The iPad Mini isn't just a big version of the iPhone 5. Please advise. Thank you.

Christ Church plans constructive celebration
Date: March 3, 2010
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Construction of the new Christ Church of Longboat Key, Presbyterian building could begin as early as late March or early April. And church members are planning to celebrate with a ceremonial groundbreaking ceremony following 10 a.m. services Sunday, March 14.
"We're very happy to get started," said the Rev. Dr. Bruce Porter, minister at Christ Church.
The Rev. Graham Hart, executive presbyter at Peace River Presbytery, in North Port, and Christ Church Building Committee Chairman Burt Borgelt will speak at the event, and Building Committee member Bill Buckley will play bagpipes. Attendees should meet at the church's current location at 595 Bay Isles Road and travel by bus to the building site. Participants will be required to ride buses to the event because of the current parking situation at the site.
The Longboat Key Town Commission voted to approve the $3.5 million sanctuary project in January. The 17,400-square-foot sanctuary will be built on a 1.9-acre parcel of land on the corner of Gulf of Mexico Drive and General Harris Street, which the church bought in March 2008. Since then, residents of the 150-home Sleepy Lagoon neighborhood have expressed concern about increased traffic, parking problems and storm-water-drainage issues.
The church is currently working with the contractor, DooleyMack Constructors, which is in the process of obtaining a building permit from the town. Construction will likely take place over 12 to 14 months.
The church, which was founded in 2005, will continue to hold services in its current location throughout the building project. The church will keep the pink building at 6400 Gulf of Mexico Drive, part of which is occupied by Longview Realty Inc., and will use some of the remaining space for offices.
When: Meet about 11:15 a.m. Sunday, March 14; the ceremony will last approximately 30 minutes.
Where: Meet at Christ Church's current location, 595 Bay Isles Road, to travel by bus to the construction site at 6400 Gulf of Mexico Drive.
Call: 383-8833

That Old Silver Palate Standby: Chicken Marbella
- onefineleo Jan 28, 2007 01:26 PM
I'm planning a Sunday Supper gathering for a bunch of us in a couple of weeks. Chicken Marbella will be the main dish. Any suggestions for a first course, sides, dessert? I love to cook, but I'm big on making things ahead (earlier in the day is fine) so I'm not too busy while guests are there.
Thanks so much.
Just made this for dinner last night, and served it with parmesan mashed potatoes and a fennel/kale stir fry, with sauteed shallots, fennel seeds, anise seeds, and lemon. For dessert it was lemon pudding cake with a rasberry sauce. It all worked well.
I thought it useful to have something to contrast the sweetness of the chicken marbella, hence the bitter green of kale and the lemon pudding cake for dessert.
Good luck.
I make at least twice a year if not more, and this is what I always serve with it:
I start with a green salad with a nice vinaigrette. I like to start this way because the upcoming dinner is so rich.
With the chicken I serve Potatoes Daphnois (from Patricia Well's A YEAR IN PROVENCE) and fresh green beans that I blanch, then toss in a skillet with olive oil and lemon juice, These three on the plate make a beautiful presentation and they go well together. And of course, lots of bread. I serve the extra juice in little ramekins next to the plate so everyone has plenty to dip into.
For dessert, you can go simple, such as fruit and pecorino cheese sliced with a little honey drizzled on top. Or go the opposite with something like chocolate pots of crème.
If you would like recipes, let me know.
I've always wondered about the Chicken Marabella, is it worth the effort? Any good cooking tips?
re: Scagnetti
There's very little effort in making it, you can make a large quantity in advanced and just bake before you need it. Plus, it can be served hot or cold. It's an easy go to dish when you don't want to be cooking while the guests arrive. I don't have tips for it because it's pretty fail-safe. You don't even have to be that precise in the amount of what you use, or what you use.
re: Scagnetti
It's really very easy. Just make a lot -- the leftovers are great too!
re: valerie
I agree with Valerie. It is ridiculously easy, particulary given how fancy it looks when finished/presented. And it tastes amazing the next few days afterwards as well.
re: Scagnetti
Definitely worth the effort--which, as others have mentioned, is minimal. Very tasty, and the leftovers are great.
re: Scagnetti
This dish is out of this world--everyone always raves about it. It's incredibly simple to prepare. The major prep (although you could hardly call it major) is done the day before you're going to serve it. I prefer to serve it hot, but room-temperature seconds never go begging. I always feel like I've cheated when I serve Chicken Marbella, because it is just so easy and it's received with such wild enthusiasm!
I like to serve it with rice prepared with onions sautéed in butter, the rice sautéed briefly until coated with the onion/butter preparation, and then cooked until fluffy in a rich chicken stock. I also prepare fresh green beans to serve alongside--but I cut the raw green beans to 3" lengths, blanch a la Julia Child, chill, and stack like cordwood on a long narrow platter. I scatter home-roasted sweet red peppers along the top of the 'woodpile' and use homemade vinaigrette as the dressing. Serve cold. Rice, cold green beans, a good chewy baguette, and an oaky chardonnay--when's the party!
Ahh but wait--dessert! How about Charlotte Malakoff? Heaven...
re: cristina
I coudn't agree with you more about CM. A forever pal. Do you have a good recipe for Charlotte Malakoff?
re: onefineleo
I use one that's similar to this:
The differences between this recipe and mine:
--I use almonds, not hazelnuts
--I use Kirsch, not hazelnut liqueur
--I use the strawberries only as a garnish on top of the charlotte
--I often garnish the charlotte with blanched, slivered almonds instead
of strawberries
Ooh, what a decadent dessert--and one with a lot of WOW factor. It's not common on the dessert table, so it's classic without being a cliché.
re: cristina
Thanks Cristina. It looks divine.
re: Scagnetti
I find the Chicken Marbella to be nauseating, and I am horrified every time I show up for a dinner party and someone serves it. I have to say that I do not understand what is appealing about this dish. It is extremely sweet, and I detest sweet food. I like to save my sugar for dessert.
re: roxlet
I leave out the sugar that they call for sprinkling over the chicken, which helps a lot. DId it accidentally the first time, and thought the fruit made it sweet enough. I use dried apricots as well as prunes which adds color and a little tartness. And I'm probably extra generous with the capers & olives, so I don't think my version comes out as sweet as the original. But if you're just not a fan of fruit & meat, this dish will never work for you.
re: roxlet
Never use cilantro and only use about a tsp. of sugar to correct the balance of flavor... that might work for you if you are willing to try again.
This recipe looks wonderful. While doing an online search for the recipe, I came across this article from Sheila Lukins on a complete meal to go with it... See link:
how about a braised vegetable that you can make ahead and heat up the day of....like cabbage or leeks?
you could also do a sort of potato gratin that can be prepared the day before....or a pureed sweet potato casserole?
I made this last night and served it with couscous. The couscous soaked up the sauce and tasted great.
I love the recipe too. So easy and everyone loves it when you have a gang over for dinner. I serve with a green salad with lemony vinaigrette (for reasons mentioned by Tom P) and couscous. Braised veg or potatoes would seem too "same" on the plate to me. I bet the beet salad that Lukins herself suggests would be great.
re: yumyum
I will have to try it with couscous, that is a great suggestion, debby and yumyum. Man, I bet the couscous just soaks up that juice something wonderful. Great suggestion. The reason I love the potaotes daphnois with the dish is because the dish itself, in a good way, not bad, is rich and oily and I like the contrast of the really creamy potatoes. They also taste good with the juice mixed in.
Chicken Marbella is so fabulous. Polenta makes a good side dish and requires little effort. Not as heavy as potatoes. Sauteed bitter greens like kale, chard or broccoli rabe are also good, for the aforementioned reason of balancing the sweet. For dessert, a citrus ice with gingersnaps on the side, or something else with ginger in it.
CM is great with couscous and polenta as others have suggested; I also like it with bulgur pilaf. I second (third?) the recs for a strong-tasting green veg like roasted broccoli or green beans, or braised collards/kale.
Thank you everyone for all these great ideas. I'm happy that this post seems to have introduced this wonderful recipe to some people. It is the ultimate easy, tasty, can't mess up, make-ahead dish that seems to be a universal hit. I'll let you know what I put together in the end (party is the 18th). I appreciate the guidance on bitter and sweetness and, of course, thanks to akp for the link to Ms. Lukins herself.
I made a double recipe of Chicken Marbella over the weekend using Meyer Lemon juice instead of Vinegar. I also used the lemon zest, and Apricots and Prunes, and arranged paper thin slices of the Meyer Lemon over the Chicken before putting on the layer of Brown Sugar. It was the best version ever.
I served it with Couscous with Golden Raisins and Toasted Pine Nuts.
I served a Mesclun Salad with Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette with Pear, Hazelnuts, and Goat Cheese as a starter, and Roasted Pears in Honey and Red Wine as dessert.
re: Fleur
(I know this was months ago....) How did you enjoy the Marbella with Meyer Lemon juice?? YUM. Great way to vary up an exquisite dish... I started making this in November (07) for Cookbook of the Month, and it is just divine. I love a dish that leaves me delightful leftovers that taste just as good, or better... a week when I make Marbella I am assured of a fabulous dinner, of course, and delicious lunches too! :)
re: tpippins
I've made it that way several times. There's enough juices etc to keep the chicken from drying out, and it's still very tasty!
re: Chocolatechipkt
You have made this with boneless-skinless chicken breasts. I have 14 chicken breasts marinating since last night. I plan to bake them today and gently reheat tomorrow for a dinner party. Hope it won't be dry. Any suggestions?
re: tpippins
Here is an adapted version with boneless chicken breasts FYI
re: flipkeat
Have you ever tried it? Please see my post above. Thanks
re: lweber
I have made the original recipe but not with boneless skinless breasts.
My feeble opinion would be to use the cooking time for the leites recipe instead of cooking the recipe for the real recipe time..
The Leite's recipe uses boneless skinless breasts...Don't overcook them the first time round if they are also going to be reheated the next day.
re: flipkeat
Do you know If Chicken Marbella leftovers freeze well?
re: aliceannfb
No, it doesn't freeze very well.
re: sarah galvin
We've had pretty good luck freezing it. We just reheated some that had been vacuum-saved and frozen 3 years ago. Although we had to make more sauce (using the standard marinade ingredients but only a little brown sugar), the chicken parts were tender and tasty, and the sauce was great over couscous. (Vacuum-saving was the key.)
re: sarah galvin
Sarah: I haven't heard -- did you go to Paris at Christmas and eat those macarons?
Wow, this does sound good. I love a recipe you can make ahead so you can socialize while you have people over. I found an adapted version over at Simply Recipes if anyone is interested.
re: valerie
I have a question about the olives. We live in a very small town and the only kind I could find were the pimento stuffed ones. Are these OK and should I remove the pimento?
Thanks for any help!
Chicken Marbella is a perpetual crowd pleaser. Even super picky eaters will eat the chicken and it smells super amazing when it is cooking. It is just as good whether it is marinated a few days ahead or 20 minutes before it goes in the oven. For large buffets, take each chicken breast and cut them in half crosswise, easier to eat and stretches the recipe by using half the amount of chicken breasts. I have made this using all chicken breasts, all thighs and a mixture of both and it is fantastic any way you make it. It really does take just one hour to cook no matter how crowded with chicken your pan is.
re: loula22
Thought I would try chicken marbella for a baby shower next weekend. We expect 30 women and are planning on a buffett. Any suggestions on how many pounds of boneless chicken breasts I need to purchase? Our local butcher has great chicken breasts for 1.99 per lb thru tomorrow, so I would like to stock up. Thank you.
re: LaxMom3
baby shower - expect 30 women!
People always eat more when they are out. 3 oz is the recommended serving of meat but I would buy more than that. Perhaps 1/2 lb per person. That would be ample. Even 10-12 lbs would probably be enough.
re: LaxMom3
This chicken tastes better when using bone-in chicken.
re: walker
I've had good results for potlucks with boneless chicken. And might be easier to serve and eat in a large group depending on seating arrangements. There is a variant of this recipe online for boneless chicken. Here it is:
(I personally leave the capers out but some love them.)
re: weezycom
I have NEVER had this dish (and I've had it several times at dinner parties) when it wasn't overcooked and dry. Is that just a big hazard about making this recipe?
re: oakjoan
When I make it, I only use chicken thighs, so they're less likely to dry out than breasts.
re: oakjoan
The recipe says to use whole chickens cut into quarters. When I make it, it's not dry but I'm particular about where I buy chicken. I never freeze it and rec. buying from the best butcher in your town.
re: walker
I often don't do what the recipe tells me to do.
But seriously, I prefer the serving size of chicken thighs to quartered chickens. Large eaters can take multiple pieces, small eaters are happy with just one. Plus they cook more uniformly than chicken quarters and don't dry out so easily as white meat, so I've never had a dried out meat problem. Much easier to mix & marinate too.
re: Karen_Schaffer
It's always come out moist when I make it too (which isn't too often). If making it for a lot of people, I use whole chickens cut into 8 pieces. So I end up with 16 pieces plus I usually throw in a couple of extra breasts since the white meat is always popular. I've never make it with boneless breasts -- I could see how those get dried out if cooked for too long.
re: oakjoan
Oakjoan, maybe the cook didn't marinate them long enough for the brining effect to take hold? Either that or the dish was overcooked. Or both!
I would suggest starting with a large fresh salad of mixed greens with shredded carrots, red pepper, onions, as you choose. I like to serve it with a Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette.
I like a simple dessert like a fruit tart or sorbet and cookies.
I am making it for a dinner next week. This time I am going to use dried plums which I soak in hot orange juice with a few prunes to plump them up,
I leave out the capersd and olives, and instead of the brown sugar, I will substitute a jar of Bon Maman Damson Plum Jam.
I have made it at one time or another with dried apricots, Meyer lemons, orange and orange Marmelade. The recipe just lends itself to variations, and it is always a big hit. I do not suggest freezing it. In my experience, it is not something that freezes well. You can make it 1, 2, 3, or 4 or more chickens, depending on the size of your crowd. Usuaally one chicken serves 3-6 as part of a larger meal.
I always serve it with Couscous made with chicken stock, bay leaf, sweet spices, and with sauteed golden raisins and toasted pine nuts stirred in just before serving. Last time I topped it off with shaved Pistachio Nuts from Kalyustan which were an extravagance at $22 /lb,
I usually use two chickens, organic free range , cut up by the butcher into 8 pieces, bone in. I agree with the OP about using the best quality chicken available. The supermarket chicken seems to have loads of water which releases and mushes up your dish.
I do marnate one day in advance. I justr thriw the marinade in the blender, and pour it over the chicken in a jumbo size freezer zip-lock bag.

Jon and Kate Gosselin Divorce Made Official; Jon on the Hook For Huge Child Support Paymentsby Free Britney at . Comments
It's official. Jon and Kate Gosselin are divorced.
It also looks like financially, Jonny Boy is up $h!t creek without a paddle, because he owes big bucks for child support he'll have a hard time paying.
Mark Momjian, Kate's lawyer, says as per the divorce, "Our client will continue to reside with all eight of her children in the former marital home."
Kate has primary custody and Jon gets visitation, which both wanted. Neither party will get spousal support, but child support is another matter.
As for who got what, those terms were determined through arbitration, and Momjian simply said, "We are very pleased with the final outcome."
With good reason. Jon must make huge child support payments - think five figures a month - and this is after TLC has legally muzzled the moron.
Kate Gosselin has many reasons to smile after her attorney opened up a can of legal whoop ass on Jon - who's on the hook for big monthly bucks - in divorce court.
Jon's ability to make money, ironically, has effectively been jeopardized by his own fame-whoring in recent months, breaching his TLC contract.
He also can blame himself for the end of Jon & Kate Plus 8.
To add insult to injury, the Ed Hardy-wearing douchebag was charged every penny of that $235,000 that he withdrew from their joint account.
That amount - which he hilariously claimed he withdrew because he thought it was payday - was sliced off of his piece of the divorce settlement.
As for Jon's claim that Kate also tried to steal money, Jon struck out as the arbitrator determined every penny she took out for the kids' benefit.
Talk about striking out ... possibly worse than he did the other night, when he was told in no uncertain terms to quit stalking Hailey Glassman.
Bottom line? A courtroom trouncing for Team Kate.
Whose side are you on?
hi kate jon and 8 beautifull children it dosent matter what people think or say i think you are both very coragous people every thing you have shown us (the audiance)and opened your life and story's a broken marrige is hard for any people i have seven children and 2 broken marriages the older the kids get the harder life gets watching and hoping that your kids dont go threw what we have been threw ive had to for many years struggle alone financially and emotionly and no family helping me i just hope you and jon can sort something out for the sake of your kids and a hugh house and tv in there face is not the best for them they need a normal and safe life without us interferring love what you have now and forever good luck and i hope you all have a safe jorney shelley.
Its sad and hurtful that most marriages end in divorce. I want to say to kate don't blame yourself and keep your head up and this to shall pass and to Jon you don't miss a good thang until its gone and in your case nine good thangs.
If the figure of $13,000 a month is correct for child support, it is ridiculously ridiculous (to quote Kate). Jon has no job and isn't child support usually based on what your income is? They do not need to live a life style that requires $156,00 a year from ONE parent (which if Kate is supposed to pay the other half would amount to $312,000 a year). Get rid of the mansion and live like REAL people!
Kate I just want you to know I think you are a hell of a woman. I have three children,two of which are twins. I know how hard it must be for you with 8 children, but remember that God blessed you with these wonderful children and he will continue to bless you to be able to support them. I am so proud of you as a woman that you never said a bad thing about Jon in interviews and as bad as you hurt you very carefully chose your words. Remember one last thing Kate. You may be hurting now because we only see the smaller picture, but God has something wonderful waiting in his bigger picture for you and your wonderful children. Dont care what anybody in the public has to say about you negatively. They are not walking in your shoes.
Jon is free from the treatment that completely belittles him, it is not up Hollywood, TLS or TMZ(bloodsuckers) to dictate the opinion of most people.
i'd like to have seen Jon and Kate work it out and live happily ever after. Jon should have a right to make money shame on the judge for telling him to shut up!
Happy for Kate!
For all those that think Kate should split the house- is Jon splitting the NY apartment?
Anyway, I think the house is in a trust for the kids and the custodial parent lives there with them. So much for Jon's "my property". He created his own mess.
Kate is disgusting and Jon is not much better. The kids are now too old to be "marketable" in a big way, Kate has no discernible talent to be an "entertainer", and Jon is just pitifully hopeless. Go away and get real jobs to support your kids, Jon and Kate!
It is sad that things had to go this far for Jon. I do believe Jon loves his children but he is the "fun" parent and children need a lot more than "fun". Kate had all the responsibility and will always have the responsibility because Jon doesn't want to grow up. However, now Jon will see what all those women wanted, the money and tv time and so now the women will leave too. I hope Kate finds happiness and a man that she can really lean on instead of always having to be the responsible one. Also, hope Jon has learned a lot through all this and takes responsibility and moves forward and becomes the father he should be. Best wishes to all of them for their children sake.

Metronews Canada - Landmines
Landmines kill long after they have been planted and long after conflicts have ceased. What's worse is that most of the victims are innocent civilians. But for most Canadians, it's an issue that's far from home. That's why we decided to bring Canadians closer to the problem by presenting them with an ad they couldn't ignore.

Virgin Mobile Kiosk - Dundas Square
Virgin Mobile loves his members, and what a better way to make the service better for old members and try to bring new members to the club, than listen what they have to say.
So we came up with the idea to put at Dundas Square, one of the most busiest place in Toronto with a estimate of over 56 million people passing through annually a digital "speakers corner" or the Virgin Mobile Kiosk.
Now every day Virgin mobile members and non members can record videos, take pictures, answer quiz and participate from promotions. All this to get closer to the Virgin member club and show to the non members why is better to be a member.

Universal Channel Mag - Digital Publishing Study
How to offer to the Universal Channel fans a new way to interact with their favorite shows and become more immerse on the unique Universal Experience?
Using Digital Publishing Tools, i develop the project for the Universal Channel Digital Mag. Using iPad the user can receive updated information about shows, make shopping and follow the promotions with updated information in real time.
After extensive research and study on the new Digital Publishing Tools i decided to put my knowledge in a real project, with my great friend Cuti, motion designer at the Universal Channel we decided to come with this proposal and, now you can see here the result of those experiments.
After had some fun learning about the Digital Publishing marketing and tools we are exited and working now on future concepts. Stay tuned.
All images and pictures used in this proposal are illustrative only. This app is a creative exercise, has no commercial purposes nor commitment to any client's brand guidelines. As the creator of the content of this page I want to share some ideas, designs and forward-thinking, that is why I published this project.

Finding Teddy is the kind of game that could entice me away from console gaming. I know, I know, the new visuals just revealed at E3 are mind-blowing, but I've long passed the point where graphics were the reason I turned to consoles when it came time to whip out a game. What draws me towards consoles is the level of immersion that can be found in titles with bigger budgets and more talented teams.
We don't often throw around the accolade "best" when it comes to product reviews here at Android Police. The dreaded "B" word can land a reviewer in hot water. But if there's one product niche I've been scouring for a long time, it's Bluetooth speakers. There are a vast array of choices out there, many of them quite well known (eg, Jambox), and others, a bit more obscure (like this guy).
There are a lot of options out there if you're looking for a quality Bluetooth speaker. Most of them have flashy names, like Beats or JAMBOX. But Cambridge Audio, a UK company that doesn't get a lot of press across the pond, has just introduced the Minx Go speaker. It has specifications that should be music to the ears of audiophiles, and a $150 price tag that fits neatly between decidedly low-fi solutions from Logitech and the pricier territory occupied by Bose and Jawbone.
I reviewed the Nocs NS200 earbuds a little over a year ago. At the time, the 200s were the company's only Android-friendly offering. I was pleasantly surprised with the audio quality and comfort of the NS200s, especially given their reasonable (for a more serious product) price of $70.
Well, now I'm back with another Nocs product: the NS400s. The pair I'm reviewing also costs $70, a $10 premium over the "universal" NS200s.
Fun fact: I never leave home without a microUSB cable. I have a short cable that stays in my bag at all times – you know, just in case. The need for charging and the like is constant, so it's hard to say when that cable could come in handy. Several months ago, a new Kickstarter campaign hit the scene that could end my need for a USB cable in my bag, and instead put one in my wallet.
In Quadropus Rampage, you are (predictably) a quadropus. I am not entirely sure what a quadropus is, and it's not adequately explained in the game. All I know is that it has four limbs, looks kind of like an octopus, and it will mess you up if you don't stop staring at it like that. From the first frame, Quadropus Rampage is a torrent of non-stop button mashing carnage. Does this brand spanking new game have staying power, or does it come and go like the tides?
I'm sure the first question on your mind is why is AP reviewing a car stereo? Two words: Android app. Basically every aspect of the controlFREQ from Scosche ($119, scosche.com) can be controlled from the companion Android app (there's also an iOS version, but neither is required for the player to work) – or at least that's the claim being made here, anyway. The execution is, let's just say, less than perfect.
Last year, we took a look at Arkon's Dash and Bicycle mounts and came away impressed with all of them. However, the company spent the last year in the lab figuring out a way to make the mounts better, as well as add support for much larger devices like tablets. The result is the new Slim-Grip Ultra mounts, which come with a variety of options: a dash mount, quick-release strap mount (for bicycles/motorcycles), and a nifty cup holder mount – all of which are better than their predecessors in almost every way.
The ASUS Transformer AiO is undoubtedly one of the most interesting pieces of Android-powered tech that we've seen in the past year or so. As a member of the Transformer family it's made to convert from one device category to another, but unlike the "typical" Transformers that we're used to seeing from ASUS, this one doesn't change from tablet to laptop – it's both a full Windows 8-powered desktop PC and a gigantic Android tablet.
PC gamers know the ARMA series as wickedly difficult, painstakingly accurate military shooters - the thinking man's (or possibly masochist's) alternative to the likes of Call of Duty. For its first full mobile game, ARMA is eschewing the first person shooter genre in favor of a tactical game: a top-down, turn-based combat system where strategy wins over speed and reflexes. It's a good choice for touchscreens, and an understandable one given ARMA's current fanbase.

Karate Uke, Blocks, and other Applications
What do we mean by block?
My old concise Oxford Dictionary offers 18 different meanings for 'block' as a noun and 6 for it as a verb, a number of which seem suited to the context in which the term is used in the martial arts:
- an obstruction; anything preventing progress or normal working,
- a blocking action,
- put obstacles in the way of,
- restrict the use of,
- intercept with one's body (American football).
It's not a bad term, but one I suggest is still more limiting than the actual karate uke techniques themselves.
In a lot of martial arts that use Japanese language terminology when two people train together they may be referred to as Tori, the person that successfully 'does' the technique, and Uke, the person that receives the technique. For at least the last fourteen years I have used the word 'receiver' to translate the word 'uke' when it refers to a technique (such as Age Uke, Ude Uke, Uchi Uke) as I feel it allows for the broad range of things that the movements can be than the more commonly used term 'block'.
When is an uke technique not an uke technique?
Most uke techniques are made up of a number of gross motor movements, often with some fine motor additions at the end. The opinion of what is and what isn't an uke technique will vary from person to person. How much of the movement, and what part of the movement, has to be done before we can say "I used this uke technique"?
As an example, here are descriptions of two different uke techniques. I recognise that they will be taught differently from style to style and from association to association (and my version may well be viewed as heretical or incorrect by some), but I will describe them as I do them if I were doing Shotokan Karate kihon as Shotokan is one of the karate styles that I teach.
Right Arm Age Uke: the left arm extends palm open and down to the front at head height with the right hand fist closed palm up at the hip. The right hand (fist closed and palm facing upwards) moves diagonally across the body from right to left (outside to inside) to approximately shoulder height, supported by a partial turn of the right hip forward. The right arm then moves a small amount from the inside to the outside while continuing to push upwards, the forearm rotating so that the back of the hand now faces the head and the uppermost surface of the forearm is clear of the top of the head. The elbow of the right arm is lower than the fist and the angle of the forearm is diagonal rather than horizontal. This final movement is supported by a further turn of the right hip forward of the left. The hips turn fluidly throughout the movement and the movement of the right arm should be fluid throughout. As the right arm moves the left hand retracts sharply to the hip, closing to a fist and rotating to a palm up position. This can be done with supporting stepping motions.
Right Arm Ude Uke: the left arm extends palm open and down to the front at head height and the right arm is pulled back level with the head, its elbow at approximately shoulder height with the forearm at a vertical right angle to the upper arm and rotated so that the closed right fist faces away from the head. The right forearm then rotates so that the palm of the closed fist faces forwards and the right elbow drops down and forwards sweeping across the body from the outside towards the inside, supported by the right hip orientating forwards of the left. As the right arm reaches its end point (which would have been the centerline of the chest had the hips not turned) the forearm rotates so that the palm of the closed fist faces towards the practitioner. As the right arm moves the left hand retracts sharply to the hip, closing to a fist and rotating to a palm up position. This can be done with supporting stepping motions.
In basic training and in kata the prior extension of the 'non blocking' arm is common to the majority of uke techniques. As such if I just do that I would not describe myself as having done an uke technique, I see it as a setup movement, albeit a very important one in a lot of practical applications (as is its retraction). From a personal standpoint if I just do the diagonal upwards movement in one direction described in my version of Age Uke, whether the outside to inside part or the inside to outside reversal, I would not say "I have done Age Uke", but if I did both I would describe it as an Age Uke. In similar vein although many years ago I was taught in Jiyu Kumite to move and rotate my arm a few inches from its kamae position from the outside to the inside and that movement was also 'Ude Uke', for me (and this is an opinion not a fact) it does not utilise enough of the movement to go by that name and I see it purely as a closed hand parry. As such I wouldn't call an open or closed handed high outside to inside parry Gedan Barai, though if it is then followed by the arm sliding along and across the parried limb to strike the attacker with a hammerfist I would. If the same following outward movement went upwards rather than downwards then I would not be adverse to describing it as an Age Uke.
Flinching, parrying, swatting, patting, diverting and slipping and uke techniques
There are a number of different reactions we make to attacks. The tongue in cheek descriptor I use for the different umbrella aspects that govern the actions or reactions of the 'defender' is the FEAR of the defender: their focus, experience, attitude and reaction time – all measured or competing against the EASE of the attack (environment, attitude, speed and entry angle). In broad terms though what we do in response to an attack will depend upon whether or when we see it, how long we have to react to it and how much experience we have dealing with it along with what we've trained to do.
The fastest most natural proactive things we can do in response to an attack we have not pre-empted are simple gross motor actions. Patting or parrying from one side to the other, pushing up or swatting down, or slipping straight under. These are all natural movements that most people will do if they have enough time unless confused by being specifically told to do something else. Where training comes in is that a trained person will
- spot the telegraphs of the attack sooner and begin to make appropriate movements,
- have improved reaction time from regular exposure to the stimuli,
- have superior supporting biomechanics to ensure a greater likelihood of success,
- have a superior ability to follow (or convert) their swat/parry/push/pat/slip with an appropriate 'shutting down' movement or combination.
Depending on the style (and the student) there are often points in training (particularly in the first few years) where an untrained person will avoid being struck with greater success and ease than a trained person because they are carrying less mental baggage about what they should be doing in support of the movement and that is particularly true if a person is trying to utilise a 'complete' uke technique in the manner I described above (with Age Uke and Ude Uke as examples) against an unpredictable attack at speed.
While flinching is a natural movement (and can to a degree biomechanically overlap with some of the examples given above) it differs from them in that it is an unconscious reflexive response. We all flinch, but we do so unconsciously when we do not have time to access a conscious response to protect ourselves. How we flinch will depend on how far away the stimuli is when we spot it, how fast it is, where it is headed, and the position of our hands and arms at the time. If you spot a punch heading towards your face at the last minute and your hands are down by your waist, they may begin to come up as if to cover the head, and the spinal reflex will kick in turning you down and away, and the face will scrunch and the eyes shut, but you will still get hit. If your hands were already in front of your face then your arms would probably have covered the head and you wouldn't have been hit. If there were more time the arms (or the nearest arm) would have extended to push the threat away. If there were more time than that then you would most likely have accessed a conscious response and your unconscious brain would not have taken over. We cannot modify the flinch. We can reduce its likelihood through training and learning to spot and act on telegraphs earlier. We can also (if we're sensible) practice recovering from flinch-like positions so that if we do flinch we are immediately able to respond rather than fall victim to follow up attacks. I've previously discussed how I view flinching and its relation to karate kata, sparring and techniques here.
Karate uke and applications
Uke can be used and trained for a number of different purposes, some of which are more effective in different environments and under different degrees of pressure than others. So far as I'm concerned whether an application of an uke is right or wrong comes down to the Ronseal test: does it do what it says on the tin?
Stepping backwards with a full Age Uke and Ude Uke (as described above) against a prearranged long-range straight punching torso or chin attack at speed works. I can't question that, I've seen it done hundreds of times and I've done it hundreds of times. I've not seen it work in other environments, and I've seen it fail in other environments, but that doesn't matter if that's not your training intention. If you can reliably apply it to do what you want it to do then it passes the Ronseal test for you.
Uke make up the majority of karate kata techniques. It is my opinion (and this isn't a new view by any means, it has been common in the karate world for a very long time) that they were not designed to be used against karate (or other MA) attacks in the manner in which they are generally trained in a number of karate systems, though that does not detract from their ability in such to bestow a number of positive combative and fitness benefits in the process.
I view uke techniques as 'receiver' techniques, they receive the other person's attack. This means that they deflect, they intercept, they strike (potentially pre-emptively), they unbalance, they manipulate, they trap and they can even control.
In his ten precepts Anko Itosu wrote of Karate as being designed to defend oneself against a ruffian rather than engaging in challenge matches. As such in my own training I have chosen to orientate my study and application of uke techniques towards habitual acts of violence (HAOV). The recreation of HAOV in training and in the simulation of force on force individual and multiple person realistic self defence scenarios is something for which I am probably better known internationally than my karate articles and books. I consider myself very fortunate to have had a number of highly experienced martial artists from a broad range of martial arts disciplines as well as LEOs, military and security personnel, watch or participate in the training that I have run in this regard and endorse it. The applications I teach for uke techniques stem from the observations of what happens (and what works) in this form of training in addition to over a decade of the study of violent crime and associated supporting disciplines. Photographs for clarity of explanation in books and articles will illustrate my applications in a very static form (because they are for people learning the drills), but they are designed to be trained in the manner I describe here with progressive resistance, speed and unpredictability. Ultimately I believe in their effectiveness for self defence and would like to see those who learn them try them in situations such as illustrated in my training in the following video.
I've previously discussed the case for elements of grappling in karate here and I know that the conclusions I drew there are not unique. Karate is not purely a striking approach, nor is it purely a grappling approach, it is an approach that is orientated predominantly towards striking and striking is its preferred approach. To do this effectively against HAOV by necessity it contains techniques that are designed to navigate and extricate from the common 'non percussive' elements of fighting (such as grabbing and pulling, holding, barging, tackling attempted leg take downs etc) in order to strike, flee or control. In self defence situations the vast majority of conflict occurs at extremely close range and grabbing, clinching, pushing, barging and tackling are extremely common responses – even (and especially) amongst highly trained martial artists who have focused their training on maintaining distance. Long range stepping and attacking tend to occur most often when chasing a retreating person that has not been held, or on joining 'another' struggle to help a friend after dealing with an aggressor in a multiple person situation.
In my scenario simulations various patterns of behaviour emerge. I'm not referring to the HAOV of the role-playing aggressors, or the adrenal reactions of the surprised trainees who suddenly find themselves attacked while trying to defuse an argument, but in the patterns that successful counter tactics form. As part of the training the scenarios are videoed and the footage examined frame by frame to give feedback. What is consistently visible in the footage is that successful navigation and extraction of participants from the close quarter fighting comes through movements and stances that more closely resemble the strategies that are shown in karate kata, even amongst those participants who have no martial arts experience. In fact if I were to edit out the attacker from the video so that it appeared as if the defender were fighting thin air, then the resulting movements would look more akin to a kata than anything else seen in the martial arts. Those that have specifically trained to use the kata against HAOV on a regular basis do exceptionally well in such scenario training by using the kata practically. This pattern of both striking and 'grappling' (or anti-grappling if you prefer) on the part of both attacker and defender, and the resulting kata mirror, makes a further convincing case for both the need and presence of grappling and throwing in karate kata.
One of the most noticeable elements of karate kata is the relative paucity of 'obvious' striking techniques. In terms of overall quantity the majority of the kata are made up of uke receiving techniques combined with hikite pulling motions (and in some systems preparatory extended arm thrusting motions), then we have 'obvious' open and close handed thrusting / punching / striking motions and finally we have the emphasised kneeing or kicking techniques.
The idea that uke techniques are only 'blocks' and that their predominance in kata reflects the defensive nature of karate should be rejected for a number of reasons. Firstly, deflecting and blocking attacks is a largely instinctive action that does not require specialised movement, though as I outlined above training to deflect and parry attacks is not a waste of time. If you observe anyone shielding themselves against a committed attack outside of set prearranged sparring combinations, you will see them cover, parry, slap, duck or flinch (or any combination of those), and any time you see anything resembling part of a fixed uke technique it will be because the uke technique itself mimics natural movement. Secondly the best form of defence is offence, and that principle has been enshrined in martial writings across many cultures for centuries. A committed attack is not stopped by continuous deflection but by pattern disrupting behaviour that forces reaction and reorientation. Thirdly it is unlikely to be a coincidence that uke techniques function extremely well as striking, unbalancing, trapping and limb (and head) manipulation movements in stand up grappling. Finally it is incongruous that the majority of the movements being drilled in kata should be devoted to anything other than navigating the most common problems posed by violent incidents.
The requirement of good training to address the most common problems takes us back to the weighting of movements in the kata. When I look at the footage of the skilled and unskilled martial artists working to extricate themselves from close quarter force on force violent confrontations in the hundreds of scenario training simulations that I have run (whether on their own against a single assailant, against a group, or part of the chaos of multiple groups of people in an argument that has escalated to physical violence) the weighting of techniques and time is as follows in order of frequency:
- moving and manipulating others to gain a position from which to strike, control or escape (predominantly extracting oneself from multiple punches, grabs, high tackles and clinches),
- striking with the forearms, elbows or hands,
- kneeing,
- kicking with the foot.
This distribution of movement mirrors the emphasis on techniques in the majority of karate kata, especially with the ability of most uke techniques to function as short close range strikes (often using the forearm) as well as stand up grappling (or grappling avoidance and escape) movements.
My approach to and interpretation of the application of uke techniques is neither new nor unique, and it is not the only valid approach. From my perspective though it is one that is underwritten by textual evidence from past generations of karateka and their antecedents, is orientated towards the purpose of karate as described by Anko Itosu, fits the uncomfortable realities of civilian self defence (as shown by CCTV footage, years of hospital emergency room data, decades of consistent violent crime surveys and reports, and accompanying psychological and physiological research into human behaviour), and is supported by the fact that entire uke techniques and indeed entire kata sequences can be applied realistically under pressure with other techniques (from the same kata) acting as effective redundancies in the event of less than optimal performance. A few photos in isolation (and possibly out of context without explanation) or a short video of a single application cannot convey its holistic integrity, appropriateness or effectiveness. If you really want to understand or judge my approach then you need to train with me.
"Here in the light a lazy mist is lifting
And the sands of time are slowly shifting"
Out of the Darkness, David Crosby-Graham Nash
"Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored."
Aldous Huxley
I have lived in or near the so-called 'Bible Belt' of the Southern part of the United States for most of my life. Those sweet people who live down in the South are real generous folks. They share just about everything down there--potato salad, pecan pie, sweet iced tea, and their faith in a fire-and-brimstone Old Testament God and His love-and-joy New Testament Son. It is not an uncommon experience for me as I travel the South to meet believers who feel obliged to witness to me. When they discover that I am an atheist they will often intensify their efforts and ratchet up their rhetoric. For some odd reason they will often become quite angry.
What they don't know, and what they don't bother to ask about, is that for a time in my youth I was involved with, and in fact that I was a leader in a national religious organization which taught what was referred to as 'THE TRUTH.'
This interdenominational organization sought to convert college and high school students to its fresh brand of fundamentalist Christianity during a time of political unrest and uncertainty.
It was a time when student anti-war demonstrations were an everyday occurrence, when people were still dying for the cause of equality, and when the white, conservative establishment had no clue about the emerging views and values of a diverse and dissatisfied counter culture.
Bumping Up Against Science
In those days I was indoctrinated to believe that science was evil and that faith was good; that science was a lie, but that the gospel was the truth.
This organization trained me and motivated me and encouraged me to go out and approach perfect strangers with a simple faith-based solution to all of their life's problems. They expected me to talk to others about their sadness, and loneliness, and emptiness, and despair. Should a scientific, rational objection--'resistance' we liked to call it--rear its ugly head, we were taught insurance-salesman-type techniques to negate and overcome resistance and to 'close the deal' of winning hearts and minds to what I now recognize as a mythology.
Desperate Times
The youth culture of the Sixties had witnessed the horrifying assassinations of a beloved president, a deeply respected and inspirational civil rights leader, and the president's brother, a voice for freedom and justice. They had seen the bigotry and the terrible brutality of racially motivated church bombings, one of which took the lives of four innocent young girls in Alabama. They had watched flailing nightsticks used against protestors at the Chicago Democratic National Convention. They saw the Cuban missile standoff and the steady proliferation of nuclear warheads, bringing the symbolic Doomsday Clock mere minutes away from what could be a very real total annihilation.
They watched shocking images on the nightly news of the tragic war in Southeast Asia, they knew about the murders of peaceful demonstrators by members of the National Guard at the campus of Kent State, and they were aware of the corruption of senior government officials in the Watergate conspiracy.
The Jesus Movement
Amidst all of this upheaval the "Jesus Movement" of the late 60s and early 70s had no problem whatsoever gathering together growing numbers of scared and disillusioned teens who were hungry for hope, peace and love in a time of turmoil.
This religious movement was energized by a wave of youthful converts who saw a connection to the man Jesus, a bearded, sandal-wearing teacher who preached brotherly love. They saw themselves in this man, and they could empathize with a person, an outsider, who was persecuted for being different.
This was also around the time of a new national bestselling book, The Late Great Planet Earth, about the horrors of a coming apocalypse which would fill the earth with death and destruction on an epic scale. The clues in the biblical books of Daniel and Revelations just needed to be decoded to see the fulfillment of end-times prophecy being played out on the evening news and in the morning's headlines.
We did not look to science for solutions in those days, and instead we thought we knew The Truth--that the problems of the world were spiritual problems, solved by a return to the simple gospel of the early church.
The organization was not so much anti-science as it was science-free and blissfully ignorant of basic scientific facts.
On the rare occasion that we thought about science at all we perceived scientists as the ones who created the tools of destruction. Our view was that chemists and physicists created napalm, Agent Orange, nerve gas, and the atom bomb, and they polluted the water and the air, and threatened the environment with the help of giant mega corporations.
During that time my beliefs would occasionally brush up gently against science, and I would have to look the other way if scientific facts stood in my path.
Seeing the Light
Eventually as I got older and encountered tough, real-world problems in my own life, my spiritual life began to wane. Around that time I began to have a growing interest in the physical world around me. The things I had learned in studying scripture could not help with basic questions about the physical world or provide satisfactory answers to simple questions about the mind and human behavior, and so I started to turn to science and education for understanding.
You know how in the cartoons the character gets an idea, and we see the light bulb over his head? Well, mine was more of a dimmer switch, and it took me many years to pull my head out of the sand, to finally see the light and to shift my mind out of the darkness of ignorance.
For example I had begun to read that the world was old. Very old. And that the continents were adrift, moving at about the same pace as the growth of our fingernails. As so many curious people before me when I looked at a globe I couldn't help but see that the coasts of one continent seemed to fit jigsaw-like against the coast of another even though they were an ocean apart.
My Christian friends had no problem accepting that the earth was young and still had a new car smell, but this made no sense to me when I took the time to think about volcanoes, earthquakes and the forces of erosion. I wondered about fossils of dinosaurs buried deep in the ground. But dinosaur fossils were explained as either: (a) they were put there to test our faith, or (b) because they are buried in the ground they support a global flood.
I wondered about the origin of the moon on whose surface man had so recently left his footprints. I wondered how it was formed, when it was formed and how it affected life on earth.
I wondered about atomic energy and quantum mechanics, knowing full well that the explanation would blow my mind.
And I wondered how things worked and where things came from.
The Grand Canyon for example. Geologists explain that it was carved quickly, perhaps over a span of 5 million years--a mere blink of an eye geologically speaking.
But my fundamentalist friends believed that it happened only about 4,500 years ago--just 1,500 years after the beginning of 'Creation'--and that it was carved really really REALLY quickly, perhaps in a year's time, at a rate of a hundred thousand cubic meters per second, as a result of the 'Global Flood' from the Old Testament story about Noah.
Instead of accepting the scientific explanation of the Grand Canyon, I was encouraged to read a book by Dr. Henry Morris, one of the early founders of modern "creation science." I bought and read his book on Noah's ark and the gathering of all kinds of creatures to rescue man and beast from the destruction of global deluge. Although it's hard for me to believe now, but in the absence of any training in critical thinking and with only a very limited education in hard science, his views seemed quite reasonable to me at the time.
Science books and educational television shows explained that the universe is unimaginably vast, and constantly expanding at mind-boggling speed. The Andromeda Galaxy alone is 2.5 million light years away, and with light traveling approximately 5,878,000,000,000 miles in a year, the age of the universe is admittedly hard for mortal minds to comprehend. And yet fundamentalists whom I called my friends and leaders claimed that the universe was only a few thousand years old.
I was encouraged to ignore the views of astronomers and popular science spokespersons such as the brilliant Carl Sagan. I am embarrassed to say that for a time I listened to the persons in authority within that organization, and I accepted the consensus of the group that these atheistic scientists had an evil, anti-god agenda.
I regret those lost, dark years.
Because of their religious indoctrination, my friends had no clue how the process of natural selection worked. They had some simplistic notion that modern man supposedly evolved from monkeys. They were then unable to comprehend how there are still chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans in the modern world if we evolved from apes and monkeys.
These same friends wanted to turn back the clock to the time of the Scopes monkey trial in my home state of Tennessee. They wanted to remove the teaching of evolution from science classes and teach what they referred to as the Truth of Creationism, what has recently come to be known as the theory of "intelligent design."
Although anthropologists can point to a growing body of evidence that accurately traces the family tree of modern humans (Homo sapiens sapiens) to a common ancestor with modern primates, our closest cousins, my Christian friends refused to accept these rational, scientific explanations.
Even now fundamentalists--some of whom hold seats of power on local school boards, or in state government, or on science committees of the national government--disregard this evidence and want American school children to be taught that man was created in the image of his divine creator in his present form only a few thousand years ago.
They want to teach American school children that this first man and his mate disobeyed divine guidelines and doomed all of us to everlasting torment unless we accept the intervention and payment of an actual historic god-man sacrifice.
I can see how this mythology might have made sense in the Dark Ages. I can even see how this mythology could possibly make sense in the absence of scientific literacy.
Heck, it even made sense to me for awhile.
But I cannot understand how it continues to prevail in the 21st century when the science explaining man's origins is so clear, thorough, and convincing.
The Breakdown of Belief
Gödel, a mathematician and logician, concluded that in complex axiomatic systems, and especially with axioms that deal with the infinite, there may be statements that are true but unproveable, and thus some axiomatic systems are incomplete or inconsistent.
The folks at Duke University give us a semantic mental game that's been around for some time:
- The Law of Contradiction tells us that any given statement cannot be both true and false at the same time.
- The Law of Excluded Middle tells us that any given statement must be true or false.
- The following statement is false.
- The preceding statement is true.
There were essentially three primary rules:
- The axioms or statements of Truth within this system have been divinely revealed to us long ago and are contained within a book of divinely inspired writings which encompass rules about day-to-day behavior, regulations about the practice of certain proscribed rituals, and prophetic--albeit mysterious and paradoxical--statements issued forth from an actual, living, all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present being, and they are true, complete, non-negotiable, and good.
- Death is not the end of existence.
- Those individuals chosen by this divine being to accept the Truth and who willingly admit their separateness from this divine being due to an innate/inherited, hereditary curse or natural condition of wickedness as well as actions taken by the individual which do not follow the rules and regulations as presented in inspired writings, will spend an eternity in the presence of this divine being which can only be described as paradise.
- Those who are not chosen and who do not admit the guilt of their condition of separateness will be condemned to eternal torment and suffering and separation from all that is good and eternally pleasing.
- Faith or belief is required to know the Truth. Truth will not be revealed to those with insufficient faith or belief; however, a simple, child-like acceptance of the Truth will suffice.
- Many axiomatic systems demand payment or offering to please the divine being at the head of their system. This payment is generally in the form of sacrifice, that is propitiation or homage, and is quite frequently a burnt offering, that is an offering of burnt animal flesh.
- Those who realize their state of separateness from this divine being must accept by faith the blood sacrifice of an actual, historical god/man.
- This god/man came to earth to be a sacrificial offering for the sins of all men.
- Knowledge was given to man, the pinnacle of creation, and man is expected to use this knowledge to have dominion over the world and all of its creatures.
(2) If any of the axioms within this system appear to be confusing, contradictory or untrue, please refer to rule 1.
(3) All competing axiomatic systems which claim to be true are actually bad, false and not divinely revealed. Acceptance of competing axiomatic systems will lead to divine judgment which includes eternal torment and suffering and separation from all that is good and eternally pleasing. These competing axiomatic systems may have strong similarities about rules and regulations, with similar things being labeled as 'good' or 'bad', or 'acceptable' or 'prohibited'; however, this is where the comparison stops.
I not only actively participated in efforts to help others come to grips with these 'Truths,' I even helped train others to go and do likewise.
Because of these years of darkness and ignorance I find myself to be playing a constant game of catch-up. So much to learn, and so little time available.
When I am stopped by a smiling Southerner I just know it's going to turn ugly. The smiles will morph into snarls fairly quickly as I turn aside their tired, cliche-ridden, science-free attempts at persuasion and offer tough resistance to their sales pitch.
At some point amidst their diatribe I realize that their minds are closed. They have no grasp of the provisional nature of science and the need to use thorough observation, systematic analysis and rigorous experimentation to arrive at knowledge that is ever evolving. Their absolute adherence to and confidence in their faith has closed their minds from learning.
I do my best to try and explain, but I am often rebuffed.
If they would allow me to, I would paraphrase Michael Shermer, the publisher of Skeptic Magazine:
"What separates science from all other human activities is its belief in the provisional nature of all conclusions. In science, knowledge is fluid and certainty fleeting. That is the heart of its limitation. It is also its greatest strength.
"I believe, but cannot prove...that reality exists and science is the best method for understanding it, there is no God, the universe is determined but we are free, morality evolved as an adaptive trait of humans and human communities, and that ultimately all of existence is explicable through science."
They will quote scripture, use outdated arguments based on faulty logic, and in a final touché they will tell me (sometimes shouting) that they will pray for me.
They do not realize that I have been inoculated and that I have built up an immunity.

Here are the Images of the restore disks that come with the new Mac Pros. Not sure if or how you can install it on other systems, may work on some of the older Intel Mac Pros. Includes both install disks. I believe the second disk is just iLife 08. Hope this helps someone.
I don't think so. Im pretty sure it's just 10.5 and then you'll have use the system update to get it to 10.5.4
sorry for the delay. I've been having some server problems at home.
Just got a few pieces of the image and i'm sure this is version 10.5.1. The build date of the image is: 2007-12-15.
Hi, an I ask you if this works with a mac? (with old Tiger)
And does it want some password o serial key?
thanks for reply..

WASHINGTON - Mention the word "snow" in the Washington area, and you risk setting off a panicked stampede to the nearest supermarket for milk, bread and toilet paper.
We're about to run that risk.
One of the computer models that meteorologists use to make their weather forecasts, known as the European model, is holding out the possibility of wintry weather for the Washington area this Saturday, especially in points west of D.C.
If it happens, it could be the first significant October snow in the Washington area since 1979, according to the Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang blog.
Under the European scenario, a low-pressure system will combine with enough cold air during the overnight hours Saturday morning to produce some wet snowflakes.
The problem is, forecasters also rely on another computer model called GFS, and it predicts the low pressure system will be farther up the coast and off the eastern seaboard, leaving only a possibility of plain rain.
"(The European model and GFS) tend to give us different things, different weather situations ... and they tend to, more often than not, disagree, especially about an event that's taking place several days away, like this one," says ABC 7 meteorologist Chris Naille.
Naille says the models are likely to converge as we get closer to the weekend, but till then, the European model will give him and his weather prognosticating colleagues something to talk about.
"The timing of these systems, especially when you're talking about something three, four days away can change so much between each model run," says Naille.
And Naille expects those models will converge into predicting plain old, cold, wet rain by the time we reach the weekend.
"Do I think we could see a wet snowflake or two mixed in? Sure," says Naille. "But do I think those chances are relatively low? You bet."
