Editors' Top PicksSee All
Editor's Note: As of 8/31/2012, Logitech has discontinued the Squeezebox Touch in favor of the new Ultimate Ears platform, but the company says it will continue to support the product and provide updates.
While hi-fi manufacturers such as Pioneer and Marantz have started getting on the digital-streaming bandwagon, companies like Sonos and Logitech (nee Slim Devices) were there from the beginning. While Sonos' products are the more usable and popular option, I personally prefer the Logitech Squeezebox due to its high versatility and audiophile-friendly appointments. Think of Squeezebox as Android to Sonos' iOS.
The Squeezebox Touch was released in December 2009 but the product has changed quite a bit since then, morphing from a grown-up MP3 player to a sophisticated music streamer. Logitech has subsequently released Android and iOS control apps, as well as support for most of the popular streaming services. While it's a little antiquated compared with the likes of Roku's products in that it still needs a PC or a Netgear NAS to run the system, it still holds up well among more modern systems.
At $250 online, the Squeezebox Touch costs more than multimedia players like Roku boxes and Apple TV, but half as much as dedicated audio players like Pioneer's N-30 . While it doesn't look "all that," it's small enough that you can hide it away if you want and control it solely via any number of apps. While I wouldn't recommended it for people who want a plug-and-play music system -- Sonos products are so much better for that -- this is a highly tweakable system that really delivers sonically. I have personally been on a mission for a standalone music player, and I think I have found what I was looking for.
The player consists of a main unit with a 4.3-inch touch screen with a stable metal base that prevents it from sliding around when you use it. Despite a brushed-metal stripe across the bottom, the device looks a bit plasticky and the touch-screen overlay means the screen isn't as vibrant as an iPad's, for example. This screen is a little small to read from across the room, where its touchability becomes useless anyway.
The device ships with a chunky black remote that feels decent in the palm and enables most of the functionality you'd expect. However, I'd imagine most people would just use their phones or tablets instead.
The Logitech Squeezebox Touch is a music streamer and Internet radio component that features wide format support and 24-bit/96KHz playback with support for up to 192KHz. If you're interested in getting higher quality and support for USB DACs you can try this 3rd party 192kHz Squeezebox plugin The fact that, in this way, the Touch is able to play back almost any file differentiates it from the otherwise-excellent Sonos systems, which only support CD quality and no higher -- important for music enthusiasts.
Until recently, the only file type the Squeezebox didn't support was Windows Lossless, but an update at the end of 2011 means all major formats are now playable. Unless you invented your own file type just a little while ago, odds are your library is supported.
Though a few features have been added since the device first appeared, arguably the most high-profile one is Spotify support. But it's not the only online music-streaming service covered; the Squeezebox works with dozens, including Pandora, MOG, Sirius, Last.FM, and Rhapsody. The device also supports Flickr for music slideshows and Facebook, though sadly it lacks Spotify/Facebook integration. If you're interested in a full list you can find it here.
So you have the player, how do you connect it up to stuff? First you'll need the Logitech Media Server software, which is available for PC or Mac and Netgear NAS. That's right, you'll need to leave a server of some kind on to use the Squeezebox if you want to use your own music. On the other hand, streaming-music services like Pandora and Spotify don't require a NAS or computer, since they stream directly from the Web. Logitech provides a Web-based interface (mysqueezebox.com) for juggling all the various log-ins, which may looks a little "techie," but it's right up the alley of digital audio tweakers.

text: An album that certainly lives up to the promise of its title – as it's filled with amazing instrumentation, groundbreaking compositions, and a sound in jazz that few ears could imagine at the time! The groove here is extremely modal – all instruments rolling along on the same rhythmic pulse, with drums, bass, trumpet, and alto sax incredibly intertwined! Ornette's really got an edge on his instrument – cutting even more deeply here than the clipped, punctuated cornet work of Don Cherry – and the rhythm team of Charlie Haden and Billy Higgins are simply amazing – not just keeping up with the energy of Ornette, but also really helping facilitate it as well! Titles include the haunting "Lonely Woman", plus "Peace", "Chronology", and "Focus on Sanity". (Red & green label pressing. Cover looks nice, save for a very lightly stained bottom left corner.) © 1996-2014, Dusty Groove, Inc.

- Intelligentes Polymer (1) (remove)
- Novel Precursors for Polymer-Protein-Conjugate Synthesis via Reversible Addition-Fragmentation Chain Transfer Polymerization (2003)
- The RAFT polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide with two different chain transfer agents, namely benzyl 1-pyrrolecarbodithioate and cumyl 1-pyrrolecarbodithioate, yielded polymers with narrow molecular weight distributions as well as Mn values that were in good agreement with the calculated ones. A comparison between the Mn values determined from gel permeation chromatography, GPC, and the values from MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry showed that the molecular weights obtained from GPC using polystyrene standards were considerably higher. A relation between log Mn,MALDI and log Mn,GPC was established, which permitted construction of a calibration curve for PNIPAAm polymers. In-situ Fourier-transform near-infrared spectroscopy was applied for the reliable determination of monomer conversions and it indicated living characteristics. Both polymerization processes showed an induction period that seems to be correlated with a retardation in rate, where the induction time is higher for the cumyl chain transfer agent as compared to the benzyl chain transfer agent of the same concentration. The induction periods decrease with decreasing transfer agent concentration and were explained in terms of the different stabilities of the respective radicals that add to monomer in the reinitiation step. The more stable cumyl radical adds slower than the benzyl radical. Both UV spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry confirm the presence of the expected dithiocarbamate endgroups. MALDI-TOF characterization of the polymer samples showed the transfer agent endgroups together with some initiator-derived polymers. Endgroups that seemed to originate from disproportionation or transfer were the result of fragmentation under MALDI conditions as was shown by a post source decay analysis and MALDI-TOF characterization of the hydrolyzed polymer. With amine-reactive diacetone acrylamide, 2-vinyl-4,4-dimethyl-5-oxazolone and N-hydroxysuccinimide methacrylate, new monomers were polymerized via RAFT in a controlled manner. Poly(diacetone acrylamide) and poly(2-vinyl-4,4-dimethyl-5-oxazolone) showed low polydispersities and good control over molecular weight, where poly(N-hydroxysuccinimide methacrylate) displayed relatively high polydispersities despite the controlled polymerization evident from the monomodal GPC traces. These amine-reactive polymers were subsequently used for successful conjugation to the primary amino group of the model peptide glycine-leucine. For poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-block-poly(acrylic acid), PNIPAAm-b-PAA, it was demonstrated that hydrogen bonding between N-isopropylacrylamide and acrylic acid units influences strongly its behavior in both the solid state and in solution. The block copolymers form micelles in aqueous solutions in dependence of pH and temperature. Cloud point measurements indicated the formation of larger aggregates at pH 4.5 and temperatures above LCST, whereas micelles formed at pH 5-7 and temperatures above LCST. At pH 5.6 and 50 °C, only micelles were found, whereas, at lower temperatures, larger aggregates and micelles coexist. Formation of larger aggregates by hydrogen bonding interactions was revealed by IR and Raman spectroscopy as well as by cryogenic transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. Differential scanning calorimetry yielded glass transition temperatures of PNIPAAm-b-PAA that were well above the transition temperatures of the homopolymers, demonstrating molecular interactions between the acrylic acid and the N-isopropylacrylamide blocks. Conjugation of sulfhydryl-terminated PNIPAAm to thiol disulfide exchange reagents and maleimides was probed for later conjugation to proteins. Evaluation of the different cross-linking systems resulted in the choice of maleimides as cross-linkers for subsequent conjugation to the protein streptavidin. Sulfhydryl-terminated PNIPAAm-b-PAA was conjugated to the streptavidin mutant S139C using a bismaleimide cross-linker and also direct conjugation via disulfide linkage. Both conjugations were successful and proceeded with more than 50 % conversion. Conjugation of PNIPAAm and PNIPAAm-b-PAA was also achieved by non-covalent attachment of the biotinylated polymers to wild-type streptavidin. Conjugates of wild-type streptavidin with biotinylated PNIPAAm-b-PAA were found to remain dissolved at temperatures above LCST even at very low pH values, which was in contrast to the observed precipitation of the unconjugated block copolymer at pH <= 4.5. Conjugates of wild-type streptavidin with biotinylated PNIPAAm of different molecular weights formed aggregates in aqueous solutions above LCST and a dependence of aggregate size on the size of the polymer was found

How the Chuck Hagel Brawl Exposes Neocons and Reveals the Limits of American Power
Ever since Susan Rice's botched nomination, it seems to be open season on President Obama's top cabinet picks for a second term. As Russ Baker explained here, the substance-free fight over Ms. Rice revealed much more about her accusers and Washington than it did about her. Similarly, the recent kerfuffle over Chuck Hagel as a pick for Secretary of Defensedoes much to outline the contours of prevailing "wisdom" among the intellectual classes of DC and New York, and the clashing currents within post-Cold War foreign policy doctrine.
After the Obama administration floated the trial balloon of a Hagel nomination several weeks ago, various neoconservative publications and pundits have waged unremittingattacks on the pick. The campaign began when The Weekly Standard quoted an anonymous Senate aide calling Hagel anti-Semitic, and gained steam when the Wall Street Journal's Brett Stephens echoed similar, albeit more diplomatic, sentiments. Bill Kristol's side-PAC (he is the editor of the Standard), the Emergency Committee for Israel, bought ad time in the greater DC television market criticizing Hagel's opposition to unilateral sanctions imposed on Iran. The Washington Post editorial board insinuated he was far too dovish for the post, citing his voting record on Iran sanctions and statements about Pentagon bloat.
These criticisms were soon buttressed by several seemingly progressive critiques of the former Senator in a not-so-odd alliance between liberals and neoconservatives against the pick (more on that below). The nomination seemed all but torpedoed until several former friends and staffers of Hagel's fired reciprocal volleys in support, while the Obama administration observed from the sidelines, until today. Hagel's allies outside the press read like a who's-who of establishmentarians, from Bush Sr. National Security Advisor Brent Scowcroft to former Reagan Secretary of Defense (and Carlyle Group chairman) Frank Carlucci.
What should be of particular interest to readers of WhoWhatWhy is not the substance (or lack thereof) behind the accusations, but the evidence they provide of what are and aren't acceptable ideas in Washington these days.
The Record From Which the Needle was Torn
Mr. Hagel, a two term Republican Senator from Nebraska, seems as cut-from-the-establishment-cloth as any pick of recent memory. A Vietnam combat veteran and the recipient of two Purple Hearts, he is currently the chairman of the Atlantic Council and a professor at the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. His voting record while in the Senate is unremarkable, having maintained B-level ratingsfrom the American Conservative Union and National Taxpayers Union, two of the oldest traditionally conservative lobbying organizations in the country.
In a refreshing adherence to claimed ideology, Hagel opposed many of George W. Bush's grandiose expansions of the federal government, including the No Child Left Behind Actand the (unpaid for) Medicare prescription drug bill. Hardly a member of the libertarian right, however, he voted for the Patriot Act and the Iraq invasion despite becoming an early critic once the occupation went sour.
His voting record aside, Hagel's candor is what seems to have drawn most of the praise as well as the criticism of his putative nomination. He openly spurned the gulag at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, saying it labeled America "an empire that pushes people around…[and that doesn't] live up to [its] commitments to multilateral institutions." And he spoke of the need to cut the untouchable Pentagon budget, the imperative of ending the occupation of Afghanistan, the folly of regime change in Libya, and the urgency of diplomacy with Iran.
The quote that begot the WSJ and Weekly Standard's label of anti-Semite came from an interview with Woodrow Wilson Center scholar Aaron David Miller for his 2008 book, "The Much Too Promised Land," about the Arab-Israeli peace process. The Standard'sanonymous informer cherry-picked this quotation of Hagel's from the book as proof of his belief in "a nefarious Jewish lobby that secretly controls U.S. foreign policy": "The political reality is that … the Jewish lobby intimidates a lot of people up here."

Sheriff makes important safety information available to county families
Adams County Sheriff Shane Rekeweg saw information he felt would be important to the safety of family members so he tapped businesses throughout the county to raise financial support to publish and distribute the material.
Three informational magazines, Let's All Work to Fight Drug Abuse; Your Life, Your World, Safe and Secure; and Your Life, Your Choices, Right or Wrong have been distributed to area schools and organizations to be made available to county families, especially those with students in school.
"Substance abuse is not unique to any one ethical, social or age group," said Rekeweg. "Experience tells us this problem cannot be solved by law enforcement action alone, but takes the active support and resources of the entire community.
"The law is a deterrent, but education is our best protection," continued Rekeweg. "This publication clearly illustrates the link between substance abuse, substance dependency and ultimately, substance death. Also included is helpful information on drug proofing your children and recognizing the signs and symptoms of substance abuse. Please take the time to read and share this information because it is truly life saving."
Rekeweg said that he has made all three booklets available to Bellmont, Adams Central and South Adams high schools. He has also made information available through the Substance Abuse Awareness Council and has the publications at the Adams County Sheriff Department.
Fight Drug Abuse, said Rekeweg, deals with such topics as straight talk to parents, meth, anabolic steroids, tobacco, marijuana, K2 and salvia, alcohol, driving under the influence, designer drugs, ecstasy, depressants, inhalants, narcotics, stimulants and hallucinogens.
The Sheriff noted that Safe and Secure covers such topics as what is considered personal information, types of identity theft, protecting your identity, 13 common sense steps to protect your identity, ATM and bank safety, taking back your identity, street cons, investment fraud and employment scams.
Rekeweg said the safety instruction also covers such areas as cyber crime, monetary crimes and the Internet, social networking, romance scams, protecting your child online, preventing physical attack, protecting your home, protecting your vehicle and neighborhood watch groups.
Areas that are covered in Life Choices include peer pressure, bullying, alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, inhalants, medications and illegal drugs and Internet safety.
"This information is targeted for parents as well as students," emphasized Rekeweg. "It's important for parents to be better informed about these areas of their kids' lives. I am so grateful for all of the business support we had in this. It's important to know that these businesses invested in this information because they feel that it is important for our families and students to know.
"If you are a student, teacher, parent or member of an organization and would like more information or need assistance in any way, please give us a call," said Rekeweg. "Only through a combined effort can we expect to have success and protect our most precious resources, our children, for the future of our community."
For more information, contact the Adams County Sheriff Department at 260-724-5345.

A very good grip for my baby and soothing on babies gums. Good patterns that supports babies needs.
Great teether as can be refridgerated, but not ideal for my baby as it is quite bulky and a bit big for her to bite on, it will be great when she's a bit older and can actually fit it in her mouth. Only suitable for older babies
Amazing, soft, squidgy and best of all easy for my 4mth old to grab, great value for money
really nice ring with lots of lovely textures for your little one to really get their gums into, I think thst as soon as a few teeth come thru my little girl will bite right thru it, I cant really see it being suitable for a 2 year old.

Bought for my daughter who is 4 months old. She is a bit little for it yet, but we knew this when we decided to purchase the walker as we wanted to have it ready. We did try her in it and she loved it. The mat underneath means she will be able to use it fairly soon has her tip toes just about touch it now. Lots of songs and button to play with which should hopefully keep her entertained.
Good. But it's not that good on moving a bit heavy
Great product my daughter is using it as a rocker at the moment and she loves it god help us when we let her lose on her own wheeling round the house.
Really great purchase! And such a good price. Was very easy to resemble and my baby loved it!!
This product is great for my baby girl. She loves all the noises it makes. It has a high back to support her and is well padded. The from panel also removes and leaves a tray which makes it easy for meal times to feed her

And he can wear one or both of The Lover's Kit penis rings for extra strength, support, and stamina. Just slip on either soft or stretchy penis ring and come harder than ever before!

Curious about mobile wallets and how they can benefit your membership?
The Credit Union League of Connecticut is hosting a free educational session on CU Wallet and the future of electronic payments. Join us Tuesday, January 13, 2015 for a discussion led by Paul Fiore, Founder and CEO of CU Wallet.
In a few short years, mobile payments have evolved from a novelty to a game-changing member interface. Most recently Apple Pay entered the forum that was once controlled by Google Wallet, FreedomPay, Loop and others. But there is more to the experience than just enabling members to make a payment.
Have you considered a solution that can:
- Create a new revenue stream and help your bottom line?
- Reduce the potential for in-person fraud?
- Make your card be "top of wallet"?
This presentation is no charge for credit union friends and will detail CU Wallet's services and how they can enhance your members' satisfaction. CU Wallet has a variety of unique features that can increase your revenue, reduce in-person fraud and make your card "top of wallet".
Email firstname.lastname@example.com to register.
Join us in Washington D.C. March 8-12, 2015 for the 2015 CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC) to Unite for Good.

CUNA GAC. Powerful Cause. Positive Effect. We've hit the 100 million mark. Now let's keep the momentum growing at GAC.
One hundred million credit union memberships is a significant milestone. It's proof that Americans value the credit union difference. It reinforces that Americans want financial service alternatives that offer real choices and put them first. It's time to celebrate—and time to leverage the opportunity.
Let's do both at this year's CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference.
CUNA GAC is the biggest week of the year for credit unions. More than 4,000 credit union people come together to:
- Hear from influential legislators, policymakers and credit union experts on the political landscape and its effect on credit unions
- Identify new strategies for building and maintaining America's awareness and trust
- Network with credit union leaders
- Attend breakout sessions on the hottest issues in the movement
- Tour the largest vendor showcase in the financial services industry
- Tell Congress our story at Hike the Hill visits

On Darkness
I notice this when I go camping as well—out in the woods, with no moon, it is dark. Really, really dark. Storming, even darker. Now, some people are blessed with excellent night vision, but how do you think you would do if you dropped in a campsite in the middle of the woods with a sword and were attacked by goblins?
We did night exercises in Korea. Your eyes get tired. You begin to make humanoid figures out of shapes in the distance that aren't really there. Movement blurs.
Most RPGs give some penalty for fighting in the dark, but I sometimes wonder if it's sufficient. Those demi-human races with night vision are in good shape, but what about us sorry humans? I wonder if as Game Masters we adequately convey how frustrating and challenging not only fighting and other tasks would be on a dark night?
It seems to me, as a player and as a Game Master, I tend to treat the darkness in my head as sort of a manageable inconvenience, a sort of dimming background effect that doesn't really hamper as much as perhaps it should. This may be because it might be hard to represent on a minis mat the sort of uncertainty and difficulty darkness can bring, or perhaps it's because I want to imagine the scene in my head.
This is something I'll have to ponder for my group's next nighttime encounter.
I never did find the toddler bike until the next morning. I had passed right by it.

Say a group of goblins ambushed the party at their campsite. For the first couple of rounds they would suffer a -4 pentalty to hit as if the goblins were invisible. Once the party found the general location of the goblins the penalty would decrease to -2 for missile weapons and if engaged in melee would eaither have a -1 or no penalty at the time.
So when the party assigns guard duty its important that someone with some type of dark vision is available for the dark shifts.

Imagine the flickering of a torch, the long shadows cast by the people and objects around you and how they'd make weird shapes across rough stonework or cave walls. :)

In a realist gameset, probabily a -4 penalty would be insufficient, in my opnion. (just remember GURPS System, which gaves you a -10 penalty in situations of total darkness)
Talking about D&D, which try to have epic fights, it is good enough.

But is a great idea to explore the narration (or storytelling, I don't know) of dark places, putting things that is not there and using the sounds to fright the players.
Nice post !

This problem is why I prefer a separate "miss chance" roll, rather than making it harder to hit (or perhaps in combo with making it harder to hit). You definitely would have hit that goblin if it was actually a goblin and not a trick of shadows...

I have some experience with this issue when played NERO LARP.
1) If there cover around (like in woods) the folks with night vision,infravision, ultra vison have a hell of an advantage and you are fighting blind.
2) If you are in the open, starlight is enough to fight by. Most people don't get to experience this because of light pollution.
3) But starlight doesn't do a damn bit of good trying to pick somebody out coming form the treeline. They would have to 10 or 20 yards away from cover before you can see them moving against the ground.
4) If you are not in a chaotic situation you can get around fine even in utter darkness. You do this by feeling the ground. I was particularly good at doing this was able to find people in the deep woods even with my crappy hearing. But there are limits.
One time I was searching for a group of friends. I was heading down a path feeling my way with my feet. I heard some rustling and then started carefully creeping along. Then like 5 yards ahead of me a flashlight just turned on in my face. I screamed, they screamed. When we calmed down we all started laughing. They thought I was a deer or something.
It is a slow way of moving and if you are looking for someone or something you have to be methodical about it using search patterns.
Again in a fight or other chaotic situation you are blind.
One time we were sneaking up along side a cabin on a bunch of trolls. They heard us or something because two of them jumped around the corner scaring the hell out of us. We ran in the opposite direction. We were on the side facing the open field and because it was a clear night running out there would not done as any good. On the other side was woods that we wanted to get into. So we are running and then color of the wall shift from a dark gray to black. We figured we cleared the corner of the cabin and so both of us turned.
And promptly ran into the wall. So hard we got knocked back on our ass. We managed to get up and get away before the NPCs playing the trolls got us. But damn that was funny as hell. Apparently that corner of the cabin was finished differently so it showed up black in starlight. In daylight the difference was apparent at night well the result wasn't so good with us.
5) With a fire or light it completely different. The advantage goes to the person sneaking around. People walking in front of the light are particulary vulnerable to mischief like a bow shot. When setting up camp you want a wide buffer area so you can see stuff coming otherwise they will be right on top of you. Unlike you are in a secluded area the fire will be a beacon in the night.

Stuart and Avatar have it right. I think describing the "fright" of a walk in the inky pitch is far more important than inventing new game mechanics. The only difficulty I've had with this is in deciding how much moonlight there is on worlds with more than one moon. ;)

- Mountzionryan said...
I am also surprised at just how much light some moon, not to mention a bright shadow-creating full moon, can provide.

Very nice post - brings up a few things. I guess the way I would handle it (in addition to whatever mechanical figurings) would be to really use the darkness in descriptions. In the heat of combat, per your goblin ambush idea, have perception checks to discern between an enemy, a friend, or a shadow. Don't let the players know how many goblins are attacking, just the three or so that they can make out as they scramble to gather weapons and fight. In fact, don't even let them know they're up against goblins until the fight is over or a successful perception check is made. Just tell them "scary humanoids of such-and-such size and shape." Spot/Perception checks for everything.

Toyota GT86 fails moose test in spectacular fashion
by George Kennedy (RSS feed) on Oct 25th, 2012 at 2:58PM
Much has been made about the Moose Test as of late. The evasive maneuver test popularized by Swedish safety experts is meant to simulate a driver unexpectedly encountering and attempting to avoid one of these majestic furry beasts. The test is performed by executing a split-second emergency lane change to determine if the vehicle can maintain control. The Jeep Grand Cherokee supposedly failed the test recently in Sweden. Then it was alleged that the circumstances may have been rigged. Then it passed the German version of the test. It was all a bit confusing. The makers of this video have... Read More

"Let your vision be world embracing…" — Bahá'u'lláh
Throughout history, God has revealed Himself to humanity through a series of divine Messengers, whose teachings guide and educate us and provide the basis for the advancement of human society. These Messengers have included Abraham, Krishna, Zoroaster, Moses, Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad. Their religions come from the same Source and are in essence successive chapters of one religion from God.
Bahá'u'lláh, the latest of these Messengers, brought new spiritual and social teachings for our time. His essential message is of unity. He taught the oneness of God, the oneness of the human family, and the oneness of religion.
Bahá'u'lláh said, "The earth is but one country and mankind its citizens," and that, as foretold in all the sacred scriptures of the past, now is the time for humanity to live in unity.
Founded more than a century and a half ago, the Bahá'í Faith has spread around the globe. Members of the Bahá'í Faith live in more than 100,000 localities and come from nearly every nation, ethnic group, culture, profession, and social or economic background.
Bahá'ís believe the crucial need facing humanity is to find a unifying vision of the nature and purpose of life and of the future of society. Such a vision unfolds in the writings of Bahá'u'lláh. •
A photographic narrative of the life of Bahá'u'lláh, Founder of the Bahá'í Faith, and events associated with the birth of a new revelation from God.
At this critical time, when problems confronting nations have been fused into one common concern for the whole world, Bahá'ís say world peace is not only possible but inevitable.
International pressure has so far helped to protect the Bahá'í community in Iran from wholesale eradication.
The Bahá'í teachings emphasize that all of us, as creations of one God, are part of one human family.
Bahá'u'lláh said, "The tabernacle of unity hath been raised; regard ye not one another as strangers. Ye are the fruits of one tree, and the leaves of one branch."
People of nearly every background, in every nation, have become Bahá'ís.The rhythms and routines of Bahá'í communities »
Full equality and a firm sense of partnership between women and men are essential to human progress and the transformation of society. "Women and men have been and will always be equal in the sight of God," said Bahá'u'lláh.
The worldwide Bahá'í community has been at the forefront of the movement to advance the rights of women for more than a century.Advancing the status of women »
Bahá'u'lláh gave special attention to the problem of prejudice. At the heart of His message is a call for mutual understanding and fellowship among nations, cultures, and peoples.
There is, Bahá'u'lláh insists, only one human race. Prejudice—whether based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, or social background—must be overcome if humanity is to create a peaceful and just global society.Abandoning prejudice »
One of the main sources of conflict in the world today is the fact that many people blindly and uncritically follow various traditions, movements, and opinions.
Bahá'u'lláh emphasizes the fundamental obligation of human beings to acquire knowledge with their "own eyes and not through the eyes of others."The Independent Investigation of Truth »
The Bahá'í teachings stress the fundamental harmony of science and religion. Bahá'ís consider that it is the same unique God who is both the Author of revelation and the Creator of the reality which science investigates.
If indeed there is only one truth (reality), it is not possible for something to be scientifically false and religiously true; contradictions are attributed to human fallibility and arrogance.The unity of religion and science »
The Bahá'í teachings envision that economic justice and prosperity will come about only when the essential connection between the spiritual and practical aspects of life is recognized.
A satisfactory solution to the world's present economic crisis lies in a profound change of heart and mind which only religion can produce.Abolishing the extremes of poverty and wealth »
Bahá'u'lláh came to bring unity to the world, and a fundamental unity is that of the family.
Bahá'ís understand that the family is the basic unit of society and unless this all-important building block is healthy and unified, society itself cannot be healthy and unified.
Bahá'í writings say, "If love and agreement are manifest in a single family, that family will advance, become illumined and spiritual."The family in a world community »
The Bahá'í belief in one God means that the universe and all creatures and forces within it have been created by a single supernatural Being.
Such designations as God, Allah, Yahweh, and Brahma all refer to the One Divine Being, Whose nature is unknowable and inaccessible to humankind. We learn about God through His Messengers, who teach and guide humanity.The Bahá'í concept of God »
When Bahá'ís say that the various religions are one, they do not mean that all the creeds and organizations are the same. Rather, they believe God has revealed Himself through a succession of Divine Messengers, Whose purpose is to guide and educate mankind.
They are expressions of a single unfolding Divine purpose, "the changeless Faith of God, eternal in the past, eternal in the future."The oneness of religion »
Whether peace is to be reached only after unimaginable horrors precipitated by humanity's stubborn clinging to old patterns of behaviour, or is to be embraced now by an act of consultative will, is the choice before all who inhabit the earth.
The Bahá'í community believes that humanity can confront this supreme trial with confidence in its ultimate outcome.The Promise of World Peace »
A statement questioning the underlying assumptions about the nature of true global prosperity.
With each passing day, danger grows from the rising fires of religious prejudice.
Through the force of historical circumstances, the two holiest places in the Bahá'í world and its international administrative center were fixed in the Acre/Haifa region of what is now Israel.
"If the learned and worldly-wise men of this age were to allow mankind to inhale the fragrance of fellowship and love, every understanding heart would apprehend the meaning of true liberty, and discover the secret of undisturbed peace and absolute composure."

I only have one question, and it's to do with Blood Mirror:
What's the deal with this? Is it something that has an uptime of, say, 12 seconds (thus, the MT using Shield Wall mitigates it), or is it something she uses for singular attacks, albeit liberally?
Depending on which it is, this is potentially yet another fight that says "take a Holy paladin if you want the healing difficulty cut in half".

Nov 2 - The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index, which had increased in September, improved again in October. The Index now stands at 72.2 (1985=100), up from 68.4 in September. The Present Situation Index increased to 56.2 from 48.7. The Expectations Index rose to 82.9 from 81.5 last month.
The monthly Consumer Confidence Survey, based on a probability-design random sample, is conducted for The Conference Board by Nielsen, a leading global provider of information and analytics around what consumers buy and watch. The cutoff date for the preliminary results was Oct. 18.
Says Lynn Franco, director of economic indicators at The Conference Board: The Consumer Confidence Index increased again in October and is now at its highest level this year. Consumers were considerably more positive in their assessment of current conditions, with improvements in the job market as the major driver. Consumers were modestly more upbeat about their financial situation and the short-term economic outlook, and appear to be in better spirits approaching the holiday season.

Feldman Architecture was hired by the owners to update and reconfigure this 1906 stucco-clad Victorian. The clients requested to keep the building's traditional feel, but they wanted to infuse modern elements, a lot of daylight and sustainable features. They also wanted to have a garden accessible from the main living space.
To accomplish this, Feldman placed the main living space and kitchen on the top floor and removed a section to add a rooftop garden. Now the main living areas get the best lighting and have access to a new private garden with views of the surrounding city. Rooms were opened up by removing walls, and more light was added with the addition of skylights and large windows on the south side. Open-riser stairs, a light well, and interior windows also allow light to filter down to the second floor hall. The interior is finished in bright whites that further reflect the light and a number of eco-friendly materials.

Fans of wrestling and gravy gathered on Monday for the annual World Gravy Wrestling Championships in Lancashire.
The competition is now in its seventh year and sees people grapple with each other in gravy at a local pub.
Contenders have to wrestle in the gravy for two minutes while wearing fancy dress costumes. Around12,000 litres of traditional Lancashire gravy ends up getting used in the competition.
Gravy referee Ken Claxon says that contestants need to have a sense of humour and be 'willing to throw themselves around'.

|Moral :
|Why didn't the Satarran MacDuff make himself Captain instead of First Officer? For that matter, why didn't he have a few of his friends along on the mission in other key places?
When Riker says there is no voice interface to the computer, LaForge says that there is no interface, period. He then goes on to use the work station behind him to use the computer. Doesn't this count as an interface?
And I don't mean to be nasty, but does anybody else find it hard to believe that Troi beats Data at chess?
|Great Moment :
|Lots of great moments in this one - the Enterprise blasting through the Lysian defences, Riker and Ro getting together and Troi and Ro making fun of him about it later... but my favourite is how Worf automatically assumes that he is in charge after the crew lose their memories.
|Body Count :
|Fifty three people on the Lysian destroyer.
|Factoid :
|The Lysian command station is a reuse of the Edo God model from season one.
|Quote :
|"I feel as though I've been handed a weapon, sent into a room, and told to shoot a stranger. Well, I need some moral context to justify that action. And I don't have it. I am not content simply to obey orders. I need to know that what I am doing is right." - Picard to MacDuff
The entire Enterprise crew lose their memories during an attack by an alien ship. Afterwards, they are convinced that the Federation is at war with the Lysians.

Everyone has to understand what's happening, in real time, and have the means to do whatever is necessary to keep applications up and running optimally. DevOps is a high-stakes world, but done well, it delivers the agility and performance to significantly impact business competitiveness.
