The classical way to conduct the determination of an element in inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) is to select a single line with adequate sensitivity and that is free of spectral interferences. When the nature and concentration of the matrix elements are more or less constant, there is no risk of unexpected spectral interferences, and the selection of a single line per element is appropriate.
In marked contrast, when the matrix exhibits changes, the possibility of unexpected spectral interferences becomes significant, and the concentration deduced from the use of a single line may then be wrong. With the use of multichannel detection such as a charge-coupled device (CCD) or charge-injection device (CID), the amount of spectral information has increased significantly compared to the use of photomultiplier tubes, which are inherently single-channel detectors. It is then possible to acquire the full UV-VIS spectra for each element. Selecting a single line per element is therefore a waste of information, since many other sensitive lines may be available for the concentration measurement.
In the development of an ICP-AES instrument, efficient use of the available information must be taken into consideration. One approach is to conduct multiline analysis, i.e., the use of multiple lines per element, in order to handle the unexpected spectral interferences and improve the reliability of the results. Multiline analysis was therefore one of the major specifications for the ACTIVA-M CCD-based ICP-AES instrument (HORIBA Jobin Yvon, Longjumeau Cedex, France). The Czerny-Turner optical system is equipped with a megapixel, low-noise CCD detector, resulting in spectral windows up to 8 nm and a constant resolution over the spectral range of better than 10 pm with a 4343-line/mm holographic grating. Adjacent spectral windows allow the system to cover the entire 120–800 nm range.1
However, multiline analysis can only be performed efficiently if the right tools are available to facilitate multiline selection and to statistically process the data. Two software tools dedicated to this application are the MASTER (Multi-line Analysis, Selection Tool for Enhanced Reliability) tool for multiline selection, and the SOS (Statistical Outliers Survey) tool for data statistical processing (HORIBA Jobin Yvon).
Because of the lack of ICP-dedicated wavelength tables, line selection involves the preparation of synthetic solutions that mimic the matrix. Running numerous samples and line profiles is therefore tedious and time consuming. Multiline selection becomes even more complex. Thus, the company developed a base with a double access: a collection of single-element spectra obtained under standard ICP operating conditions and a spectroscopic database containing wavelengths, sensitivities, limits of detection, line widths, and background values. More than 50,000 lines have been assigned with the corresponding spectroscopic data; details of the proprietary base have been published previously.2
Basically, all the user has to specify is the list of elements and their expected concentration ranges. Then, the MASTER tool conducts a preselection through a filtering procedure that examines the influence of the highest concentration of the concomitant elements on the lowest concentration of the analyte, i.e., under the most adverse conditions, with a user-defined criterion for spectral interferences. Once a list of lines has been suggested, MASTER provides the ability to display each line window, which includes single-element spectra of the analyte and concomitant elements within the line vicinity. Moreover, the blank spectrum can also be displayed, allowing interactive background correction. Display helps in the ultimate validation or rejection of a line. Lines and backgrounds are then exported, for an automatic setup of the analytical method for analysis.
Once the determination of the concentration has been carried out for each line of a given element, the SOS tool performs a statistical analysis to detect possible outliers. As a result, the remaining concentrations are averaged to provide a reliable concentration per element.3
The use of the MASTER and SOS tools will be illustrated with an example of the determination of niobium (Nb) in low-alloy steel samples. This application is a typical example in which the concentration of the concomitant elements can vary, and then generate unexpected positive bias (if the analyte peak is interfered with) or negative (if the background correction position is interfered with). Reprocessing the results with new background correction positions is possible, but is time consuming and requires some expertise; thus, true multiline analysis is effective along with the supporting tools.
Figure 1 - The 316.340 line of Nb is validated (✓) and the position of the background correction is set up (blue dashed line).
As mentioned above, the analyst must specify the list of elements and their concentration range (see Table 1). The MASTER tool selects lines of Nb that are appropriate for the 1–10 mg/L concentration range and are not interfered with by the concomitant elements when present at the highest concentration. The total number of lines for selection as well as sensitivity and interference filtering criteria are user defined. Each line selected is then displayed by overlapping the 1-mg/L Nb spectrum with the maximum concentration single-element spectra of the concomitant elements. This permits the user to validate the lines for the application and determine the correct background correction positions (Figure 1). In addition, the nonselected lines can be visualized to understand the selection performed by the MASTER tool (Figure 2). Six lines of Nb were selected, among more than 1000 ICP lines that were assigned to Nb in the proprietary ICP-based database. The same procedure is applied to all elements that need to be quantified.
Figure 2 - The 269.706 line of Nb was not selected as interfered with by Fe.
Next, the samples are analyzed. The line concentrations are processed instantaneously by the SOS tool, based on ANOVA statistical tests, to detect any possible outlier. The level of confidence is defined by the user, and was set up at 95% in this example. To illustrate the benefit of the SOS tool, one of the samples was spiked with molybdenum (Mo) at 200 mg/L to replicate an unexpected higher concentration of Mo. This spike leads to a concentration that is 10 times higher than the maximum concentration of Mo originally defined. The results in Table 2 show that two lines were automatically rejected: the 230.208-nm line, which was overestimated due to on-peak interference by Mo, and the 295.088-nm line, which was slightly underestimated because of a Mo peak on the background correction position. From the remaining lines, the final report provides a single reliable concentration value per element.
Clearly, multiline analysis can easily manage unexpected spectral interference through this outlier rejection tool. If the nature of the matrix or the concentration ranges of an application change, the MASTER tool is accessible at any time.
An instrument based on the most recent detector technology was described, along with advanced tools that will transform the way users develop analytical methods, enabling them to become proficient and take full benefit of the information available. Operators can increase their confidence in use while ensuring quality of results.

The Palestinian collective memory is blistered by the fact that Palestine was violated, with the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.

Without a trial, the memory of the Khmer Rouge horror will remain an open wound in the psyche of Khmer society.
The U.S. first, and subsequently the EU, have adopted the Israeli view that the core of the problem is Yasir Arafat.

Israel would be doing itself a monumental favor by ending the occupation on its own terms, rather than withdrawing due to additional international pressure.

Los Angeles Critics Honor 'Pvt. Ryan'
By BERNARD WEINRAUB
Published: December 14, 1998
HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 13— It's Oscar time in Hollywood.
In a vote that could foreshadow next year's Academy Awards, on Saturday night the Los Angeles Film Critics Association named ''Saving Private Ryan'' best picture of the year and Steven Spielberg, who made the film, best director.
The best actress award was a tie: Fernanda Montenegro, for the Brazilian drama ''Central Station,'' and Ally Sheedy, who played a once-famous photographer living as a reclusive in the independent drama ''High Art.'' Ms. Montenegro, one of Brazil's foremost stage actresses, plays a bitter elderly woman who takes a motherless boy under her wing.
Named best actor by the 49-member group was Ian McKellen for his role as the ''Frankenstein'' director James Whale in the independent film ''Gods and Monsters.''
Best supporting actor was also a tie: Billy Bob Thornton, for his role as one of three men in ''A Simple Plan'' who find a downed airplane with a fortune in cash, and to Bill Murray for two quirky roles, a businessman in the comedy ''Rushmore'' and a low-rent lawyer in the drama ''Wild Things.''
The supporting actress award went to Joan Allen, who plays a woman who transforms herself in the comedy-drama ''Pleasantville.''
The Los Angeles critics gave the best screenplay award to Warren Beatty and Jeremy Pikser for the political satire ''Bulworth,'' in which Mr. Beatty starred and directed.
The best foreign film prize went to the Danish drama ''The Celebration.''
Within the next 10 days critics groups from New York, Chicago and Boston weigh in with their choices in advance of the Academy Awards. Oscar nominations are to be announced on Feb. 9, and the awards given on March 21.
Last week the National Board of Review named ''Gods and Monsters'' and its star, Mr. McKellen, as best film and actor. Ms. Montenegro was also named best actress, while the director's award went to Shekhar Kapur for the historical drama ''Elizabeth.'' Supporting actress and actor awards were voted for Christina Ricci, for ''Buffalo 66,'' ''The Opposite of Sex'' and ''Pecker,'' and to Ed Harris for ''The Truman Show'' and ''Stepmom.''
While these groups sometimes foretell the Academy Awards, their choices are not always followed. Last year, for example, numerous critics groups named the police drama ''L.A. Confidential'' as best film. But the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences voted in favor of James Cameron's ''Titanic,'' which swept the Oscars.
By all accounts the race this year is not entirely predictable, although ''Saving Private Ryan'' is viewed as almost certain to get a nomination. Other films in the Oscar running include ''The Truman Show,'' ''Life Is Beautiful,'' ''Pleasantville,'' ''Elizabeth,'' ''Shakespeare in Love,'' ''A Simple Plan,'' ''Gods and Monsters'' and ''The Thin Red Line.''

In this tense and brilliant tale from the national bestselling author of The Death of Bees, a young boy on a small Scottish island, where everyone knows everything about everyone else, discovers that a secret can be a dangerous thing.
Eleven-year-old Michael Murray is the best at two things: hacky sack and keeping secrets. His family thinks he's too young to hear grown-up stuff, but he listens at doors—it's the only way to find out anything. And Michael's heard a secret, one that may explain the bruises on his mother's face.
When the whispers at home and on the street become too loud to ignore, Michael begins to wonder if there is an even bigger secret he doesn't know about. Scared of what might happen if anyone finds out, and desperate for life to return to normal, Michael sets out to piece together the truth. But he also has to prepare for the upcoming talent show, keep an eye out for Dirty Alice—his archnemesis from down the street—and avoid eating Granny's watery stew.
Closed Doors is the startling new novel from Lisa O'Donnell, the acclaimed author of The Death of Bees. It is a vivid evocation of the fears and freedoms of childhood and a powerful tale of love, of the loss of innocence, and of the importance of family in difficult times.
Posted June 4, 2014
I adored Lisa O'Donnell's debut novel The Death of Bees. And so did a lot of others - O'Donnell was the winner of The Commonwealth Book Prize. When I heard she had a new novel - Closed Doors - I jumped at the chance to read it.
O'Donnell has again set her novel in the recent past. Closed Doors takes place in the early 1980's on a small Scottish island where eleven year old Michael Murray lives with his mother Rosemary, his unemployed father Brian and his Granny.
Michael is busy practicing his 'keepie-uppies' for the talent show the neighbourhood kids are going to put on, arguing with his arch nemesis Dirty Alice and keeping an eye on what goes on in his bit of the world. But when his mother comes home from work bruised and bleeding, he's sent to his room. Why won't his ma go to the police? Why is he told to tell the neighbours she fell down the stairs? What happened to her?
Confused and worried, Michael needs to know what happened to her and what is going on.
"I listen at doors now. It's the only way to find out stuff. No one tells me anything."
Life has changed drastically for the Murray family. As adult readers, we know what has happened to Rosemary. And as adults, it is heartbreaking to watch Michael try to make sense of things. He continues to listen at doors, hearing bits and pieces and being told half truths as the family struggles to keep things quiet. But gossip in a small town cannot be contained and when another woman is hurt, there can be no more secrets.
O'Donnell has created yet another wonderful child narrator in Michael. His voice is real, running the gamut of emotions. There is a sense of innocence in the children of this island. Part of it is the insular nature of island living, part of it is the time period used. I can't imagine this same story being told in present day. O'Donnell has chosen time and place well - it absolutely works. The loss of that innocence makes Closed Doors a coming of age tale in so many ways.
"It's terrible to know too many things about people. It makes you feel like a liar because you have to act like you know nothing at all when the truth is you know everything there is to know."
"Lies make people happy, I think, and that's why people tell them, not to hurt or anger anyone, but to keep them safe from the truth, except our lie, the lie Ma and Da and Granny are telling to themselves and everyone else around them, it is the worst of lies and it is making no one happy and when lies don't make you happy, you have to wonder what will happen nest.
O'Donnell also deftly explores family and family dynamics in Closed Doors. What secrets would you keep to protect your family? And at what cost?
Closed Doors is another great read from a talented wordsmith. I'll be waiting for book number three.

HUTTO (July 9, 2014) Seven beagles that were caged for as long as seven years at a lab near the Texas-Mexico border have been rescued and will be put up for adoption.
The nonprofit Beagle Freedom Project negotiated with the unidentified lab to secure the release of the dogs Tuesday night.
The dogs were used for experimentation, the group said.
"Dogs are tested on everything from your typical products in your household like your dish washing liquid, laundry detergent, your toothpaste, your makeup and then of course your pharmaceuticals as well," said Shannon Keith, the president of the Beagle Freedom Project.
The dogs, which were taken to Hutto after their release, and will be placed in foster homes until they can be adopted.
More than 65,000 dogs are held in labs nationwide, and 96 percent of them are beagles, the group said in a statement.
The breed is preferred because of its, friendly nature, but very few lab beagles survive because most laboratories ultimately euthanize the dogs.

The Flint Hill volleyball team doesn't much care for losing. You have to go all the way back to an Oct. 12 matchup against undefeated Loudoun County — ranked No. 1 in the DMV by the Washington Post — to find the last time Flint Hill dropped a set, let alone a match.
It was appropriate, then, that the Huskies ended their season in the same way they have five of the past six years: with a state championship victory. Flint Hill (31-3) breezed past Paul VI Catholic (25-6) in straight sets on Saturday to put the finishing touches on yet another season of dominance.
Flint Hill coach Carrol Anderson did everything in her power to make this season challenging for her girls. She scheduled private and public school powers like Liberty Christian, Paul VI, O'Connell, Broad Run, Kellam, Chantilly and Robinson, but none of those teams proved good enough to take down the two-time defending city champion Huskies. Close matches against state juggernauts Nansemond-Suffolk, Atlee and Loudoun County accounted for their only losses this fall.
"This team probably had the best chemistry of any of the other state championship teams that I've coached," Anderson said. "There was no drama; there were no egos; there was no selfishness. They knew they had to play together to get it done, and that was what was most important to them. To me that's the biggest reason why they were so successful."
The Huskies' tough regular-season schedule prepared them well for the playoffs. They didn't drop a single set in their six postseason matches, capping the Independent School League AA Division tournament with a 25-10, 25-18, 25-14 win over Holy Cross, followed by a straight-set victory against Cape Henry Collegiate and a 25-16, 25-23, 25-11 triumph over Paul VI in last Saturday's Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association Division I final at Fredericksburg Christian School.
Flint Hill accomplished all that with the help of just one senior. Erica Narel—a springy 5-foot-11 middle blocker committed to play for N.C. State next year—is the Huskies' lone graduating player this year, which doesn't bode well for their opponents next season. Among those returning will be junior outside hitter Ally Ford, who led the Huskies in kills this year. Junior setter Allie Fellows, who had 31 assists in Saturday's final, will be back to run the offense, as will junior libero Gracie Anderson, perhaps the team's best passer and defender.
Coach Anderson knows Narel's leadership qualities and prowess around the net will be missed, but she's confident her squad has the right pieces in place to do it all over again next year.
"Everybody will be a year older and more experienced, so I think we certainly have a chance to have the same goals and be able to reach them if we work like we did this year," she said.

Interview with iPod's Dirty Secret Video Producers
MacDirectory has posted an exclusive interview with the producers of the now infamous iPod's Dirty Secret video.
"'We placed three calls to the Apple customer service line,' says Neistat. "Then we went into the Apple store in Manhattan for help, and then we contacted the Apple executive offices directly. They all confirmed that there was no iPod battery replacement program and they all recommended that we buy a new iPod.' Regarding the Neistat's claim regarding the iPod's 18 month life, Neistat says, 'They [Apple] didn't specify 18 months, but they said that it was understandable.'
But, according to the Neistats, the story gets better. 'We then purchased a third-party battery online. I'm very proficient with electronics, but it's a very difficult thing to change the battery on the iPod, and that's why I think Apple doesn't offer the option… When I put in the new battery, I broke my iPod. So then I had to buy a brand new $400 iPod.' According to Corey Neistat, it's then that the fury that fueled the video truly kicked in."

I should really be doing my homework.Submitted by We The Jacobins on Wed, 05/18/2011 - 19:06
...but this site is ADDICTING. Maybe too addicting.
I'm still in Germany until August studying abroad and have managed to spread my Ron Paul wealth amongst some Europeans who regularly self educate themselves on American politics.. as they should.. After all if Americans elect the wrong president we may blow their country up.
One of my friends is a strong Obama advocate who said he would vote for Paul if he ran in 2016. Naturally I questioned his ideology. His support for Obama resided in this philosophical "change" propaganda that was popular during his 2008 campaign. "What change have we seen? A continuation of Bush Foreign Policy. More debt. More unemployment. More troops abroad. Obama is clearly an individual who despises the role of President," was my reply in a nutshell. They all say "Ron Paul just can't win." 'Why?' I frequently ask myself.
Believe it or not I've made believers out of everyone here. They may not agree with everything he says because they're used to paying 40% of their income to taxes and don't understand our concept of personal liberty intrusion, but they are sympathetic to Paul's resiliency and political uniformity. I understand we all have much concern over Republican primaries alone, but can anyone answer to me why Obama is so "unbeatable?" I mean the guy is a terrible president. I'm tired of the idea that Ron Paul isn't electable. As long as Ron Paul supporters are embedded with this thought, Paul won't be elected. I think our chances are outstanding. People are waking up everywhere to the issues haunting us and the demagoguery -- the Obama propaganda speeches and "Warren Harding Error", as you Malcolm Gladwell "Blink" readers will appreciate.
I'm not sure that this post has a legitimate point, but if I had to give it one, it would be staying optimistic. I've convinced a lot of people that Neo-Conservatism isn't the true Republican way. Come on, guys. We can do this. Is it a matter of money? We can raise money, we've show that. Does Doc need to be more placid with his delivery on controversial topics? Maybe. Either way I'm going out with my boots on. Will you?

When to prune California Lilac
Could someone please tell me when I should prune my Ceanothus? I bought it as a tiny fellow a couple of years ago and now it's growing like Topsy. If I prune it now will I risk losing this year's bloom, or should I wait until after it flowers?
Gord, do you have an evergreen or deciduous ceanothus?
You can shape the evergreen types after flowering, not before or you lose this years flowers.
Prune deciduous types as leaves begin to appear in Spring, and these do need regular pruning or become weak with poor flowering.
SW Washington People,
I moved to Vancouver, WA last year. Do you belong to The NPSV Native PLants Society Vancouver Chapter. Do you belong any to any Garden club. I want to join some & volunteer at Naturally Beautiful Backyards, Invironmental Information Coop, & BushPrairie Master Gardeners extension.
email@example.com AL_compost
Not exactly a pruning question but here goes: My California Lilac is in well drained soil and situated in full sun and had been thriving. It went brown this winter and died and I can only assume it was because of the extended cold snaps we had. Now I am reticent to buy another and invest in the time it will take to mature. How hardy are these plants meant to be? If I do replant, what should I do to protect it in the event of another prolonged cold winter?

Some 30+ years ago I remember struggling with a sense of confusion about "the bigger picture" in life. There had to be more to existence than mindless consumerism driven by ever-present dissatisfaction and the belief that the grass was somewhat greener if one drove a more expensive car, had a slightly larger house, or a higher-status Swiss wristwatch. Yet at the same time I felt the "verities" of other people's biases were unsatisfactory. It took another 15 years before I was able to formulate a reasonably consistent humanistic world-view that then was the basis for my actions thereafter. And this was the experience of a highly educated person who might charitable be called "addicted" to reading widely and deeply across many different disciplines. If it takes this much time and effort to arrive at a coherent humanistic world-view, it is not perhaps surprising that people in their 20s haven't reached an equivalent destination yet.
The West struggles with teen rebellion and angst and fails on many counts. But it is a normal part of growing up and joining the adult world. By contrast, the Arab and Islamic world, teenagers are the generational catastrophe that ignited a world wide war.
Terrorism is Teen Angst and Rebellion Gone Wild. And we can not hope to defeat terrorism, as we can hope as parents to control our most wayward, destructive teenage boys.
All societies struggle with adolescent rage. Some are better at it. Some markedly worse. Teens are famous for poor judgment, lack of consideration of consequence, sense of immortality, and stupidity. If any human can be brainwashed, it is a teen. If you have a big button that says "DANGER: Nuclear Launch Trigger for Doomsday Device to End World!" --Yes, a teenager will out of boredom and curiosity press THAT button. Yes, they are perfect recruits for suicide bombing. Even the US Marines know the potency of an 18 yo recruit that is lost in a 30 year old enlistee.
And by teenager, I mean an immature adult, who is not just under 19 yo, but sometimes well into their late 20's or even mid thirties. Still working out adolescent issues of identity, rebellion, sex, drugs and freedom. Still dependent on parents and living at home. Still unable to live financially independence. Still unable to maintain an apartment or even do laundry.
In the west, teens are known for degeneracy: playing violent video games for days on end, binge drinking, drunk driving, carefree wild sex, liberal use and tolerance of drug culture, loud music, and partying all night.
In Arab countries, degeneracy is haram or forbidden. So adolescents in conservative countries do not sow their oats in sex, drugs or rock and roll. They memorize the Koran, pray 5 times a day to Mecca and suppress any desire to the point of pathology. Unable to vent teen angst, the passions build and are vented in a different manner: Radical Fundamentalist Militant Islam.
All 9/11 hijackers were young men. All were pious and carried a Koran. All were promised a version of Paradise involving copulation with 72 Virgins in a 24/7 Orgy. All went willingly on a suicide mission. All deceived their families who thought they were at some peaceful religious revival 'bible camp'. All were rebellious teens in search of identity. All were estranged from their loving families who were surprised on 9/11 like the rest of the world.
Teenagers are like Atomic power. They can power the city with unlimited energy. OR they can bring Armageddon. Al Quaeda wants a nuclear bomb...their teen bombs are already winning Afghanistan.
And like dangerous nuclear isotopes, must be handled with the requisite caution and respect. I do not think Madrassas in Pakistan with conservative Koran recitation curriculum, religious righteousness, intolerance and reed whips are doing the good of the world. Maybe teen sex and binge drinking is the least bad solution for raging hormones?
The teens are the future of the world. But they may also be the seed of change or destruction. The West may be allowing bad teen age behavior, but the damage is limited. It is better to graffiti town hall than to destroy a skyscraper and all the civilians within. IT is better to be part of a rumble gang than to be a terror cell plotting the death of hundreds. It is better to have a girlfriend over on Saturday night, than to go on a suicide mission and hope to get the 72 virgins. It is better to listen to Eddie Haskell or Paris Hilton for bad teen advice, than it is to listen to Mullah Omar preaching Armageddon.
Teen unemployment, boomerang kids, and teen depression--it could be worse. Think 9/11 everyday as it is in Karachi, Kabul or Karbala.
Islam's main failure is not ideological, it is controlling their own teenager's angst. And the West cannot win the War on Terrorism any more than they can insure teenagers will not rebel and partake in regrettable actions.
IT is not a War of Religion. But a War of Brainwashed Zombie Teens on suicide missions. We all have to be better parents. And Islam cannot see the problems in plain view, and the whole world suffers. Denial is not just a River in Egypt.
@khmTzic3YT - I must say that I find your response has seeds of interesting points, yet you boil them in the hot oil of what appears to be your own anger and frustration, wrapped in to an opinion that I don't believe on closer inspection holds much water. I am of course allowed to see things differently to you, as you are allowed to express your thoughts to me and anyone else who reads these comments. I just disagree with you. If others do, then that remains to be seen.
"The West" is at very best an aphorism based on what is essentially a nebulous notion of "something" that does not actually exist. With this view and your making mention of the Arab and Islamic world, I am not quite sure what exactly you're getting at. Besides a heated ramble. Please would you elaborate.
My general comments are these. I am sure that older generations view younger generations with as much suspicion as the younger view the older. Call it a contextual disconnection, where age be it younger or older, does not come with a basic framework of the generalised perceived reality that either generation frames the world up in. You see what you believe and more often, you believe things that quite often have an almost irrational existence in the thoughts that occupy your mind and the emotions that drive your doing. It is my feeling that there is generally a misunderstanding that revolves around two core principles of human existence. Fear and Hope. It is a dynamic tension that can only be resolved from time to time through life experience and from time to time, careful consideration of what meaning one would like to attach. That defines relevance and therefore drives the thoughts that justify opinions and set ones estimation of the zeitgeist of a time and a place.
That being said, I do feel that there have been some marked changes in attitudes that the youth hold towards their roles in this world and that perhaps, when they are inundated with the commercial messaging that they encounter from the time they come in to contact with it, and that most of this is owned and controlled by the older generation{s} that perhaps the genesis of these "ills" lies in the examples that have been set by older generations, which by and large have been to create good consumers and unhappy citizens of the worlds future. Surely this "problem" is far bigger than merely making observations and stroking our chins with furrowed frowning foreheads about the youth. We're, both the young and the old, co-creating this reality we currently face, and will forever face. Perhaps it is those in power that need to consider the future ideals they have instilled in the hearts and minds of others; their peers and the younger generations, as being equally worthy of some pondering and perhaps, adjustment. Collectively, young and old, we constitute the human race and therefore all of us carry the responsibility for the world we create and therefore find ourselves in.
Would anyone care to comment any further?
The difference between holding hard immutable moral moral views on something and just "worrying about being found out" is really just a matter of intensity: moral principles about not doing "act x" serve to make sure you don't take the slightest risk ever of being found out doing "act x". If the value of not doing (or doing) something changes over time then the intensity of moral convictions changes too, but it's not a matter of reduced overall morality, it's a matter of shifting priorities.
One could probably find issues about which today's youths hold stronger, more rigid moral views than their peers of long ago (for example, rape as it is defined today (lack of consensus even without violence or force applied on the part of the "attacker") would have been fine (and not even called that) at the time of our "morally superior" grandparents.
Whether priorities are changing in a way that reflects improvements of civilization is a different matter of course
I was raised with a curious mix of roman catholic morality, leftist social beliefs about modesty and thrift and free market liberal ideas about commerce. A lot of these are in conflict with each other, in particular I find my socialist beliefs in conflict with the free market one but as I asked my mother about why we were raised this way she said no matter what we became she thought it important that we had a basic morality instilled even if (as was the case with me & catholicism) we rejected it, the very act of rejecting requires thoughtfulness and struggle that raised atheists do not undergo. Now this is not to say i'll raise my kids Catholic, I wont but I do think it's valid to say that an instinctive morality can be hard for people to come by on there own and that it's important to try and instil a basic one if you can.
Why are all these analyses framed as though we came from a moral age to an immoral one? Every generation is absolutely F%^ked up, drinks too much and has more sex then old people think is appropriate. The only difference now is that a better and more complete record of our decadence is kept. I say:
If you party and screw your ass off,
But can get up in the morning and go to work,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!
There is always something new going on with every generation. Teen rebellion has always been around, just with different degrees. "adolescents are slower to emerge into adulthood these days" is true but at the same time kids are growing up too fast. They are exposed to sex and alcohol earlier and earlier. Also in the sense of technology, some toddlers know how to use smart phones. Every generation has some wow factor so I'm curious as to what the next generation's will be.
Terrorism is due to extremists. Teens are susceptible to extremist logic. Teens are the foot soldiers of the assault on civilization. a teen can wear a suicide vest, under wear bomb, shoe bomb or drive a truck bomb.
What is the Most Important Adolescent Existential Social Question of the Past Decade Since 9/11:
Understand Teen Angst, and you will have a tool to conqueror terrorism. Otherwise it will be an impossible task.
I am an 18-year-old American living in "the dark side or emerging adulthood". Valid points were made, but I thought this was unnecessarily insulting. We have to work way harder than any other generation in school. We can't brag about obtaining a bachelor's degree because who doesn't have one of those? No, we have to get a PhD to have a stable successful job and live in this economy. As far as being involved in the world, we may be free to have a voice, but that doesn't mean people are listening. As young adults, our lives have become so busy keeping up with school work, extracurriculars and working to pay for college that politics just aren't worth our time and effort. You have to stand up before you can fight which is very difficult in such a competitive society. And yes, we take the chance at a little fun when we can because trying to keep up with society is simply exhausting and personally, I don't want to miss out on my youth when I have to rest of my life to be child-bearing and struggle to support a family. What's so wrong about these changes that have occurred? Older generations are too stubborn about change that they automatically assume it's a bad thing and start pointing fingers.
The best days of their lives? Well, if it is true that the best day of our lives is just now, then it follows that - if you are young - the best time of your life is now definitely. Yet it does not exclude that our best time - if you are older, double dip included - is now too.
We, older people are a kind of rules, regulations, laws and morality keepers (should we not?). Younger people have to stand off to their own individual adult identitities against these rules. I see that as a kind of Schumpeterian creative destruction. The most functional of both worlds will hopefully survive (but not necessarily: the chance is always there of throwing away both baby and bath water).

The most functional of both worlds will hopefully survive (but not necessarily: the chance is always there of throwing away both baby and bath water).
I feel that an argument, or a book about this is extremely useless. The generations of the past such as my grandparents, (I'm considered to be in the generation being spoken of) we're most likely saying the same thing about their kids. And the generations before that were doing the same thing, and so on and so forth. It's a cycle due to technology, globalism, and culture. Although the Western culture is completely different from others in the world, they are all constantly changing. Each emerging generation for the working class is different from the last. We've had circumstances which were completely unavailable to the last generation. We lived practically our entire lives with the availability of the internet, video games, and other advanced technology. Of course our generation is going to be open to new ideas, and be able to fathom other cultures. There's nothing that anyone can do besides accept it.. or complain about it.
I am apart of the generation discussed above and to be honest I am interested in reading such a book. First I would like to point out that he is targeting college/university students. Imagine what the kids not in college are doing. I do agree that my generation depends on their parents more but that all relates back to post-secondary education. Having a bachelor's degree today means nothing. Tuition only gets higher and level of degrees more competitive for a job. Graduate schools look for more than just GPA so that means students must get involved and find more and more "resume builders." This leaves little time for any means of making money. So until we get that degree or should I say degrees most students will rely on their parents to some extent. And let us be honest, nobody wants to struggle. Most everyone wishes to live a comfortable life if not extravagant.
I do not feel that sex and drinking are practiced any more than in previous generations. It is just a matter of others finding out. Social networks help in this advertising. I.e. facebook photos, statues, etc.
Finally, Mr. Smith says it himself that parents are not so sure themselves. Parents have children and then those children turn into parents which essentially means that this has been going on forever.
Hello everyone. Have observed that usually the parents beliefs and attitudes are mirrored by their children. So the potentiality of a child to develop into a well balanced adult is in the hands of the parent/s to harness.
What with a sprinkling of some experiences of religion(faith in God), a good education(good school), discipline(demonstrated by the parents themselves as an example), outings, socialising, humour, familytime and such positive activities ensures that children will develop into well balanced citizens of any country.
PLEASE GIVE YOUR CHILDREN TIME, THE MOST PRECIOUS GIFT OF THEIR LIVES AND YOU WILL REAP ALL THE SWEET FRUITS BY THIS. Be with them, laugh with them, cry with them, sing, jump, fight, argue, learn, picnic, study, care for them, cook for them, love them completely dear parents.
While Smith makes some very valid points concerning our youth's transition into adulthood, I have to say, from a "transitionee's" stand point, that most of it is misleading. Let me put the facts straight to you. According to this passage, this book tackles five areas of the youthful mystique. One, Smith dissects how young adults make ethical decisions- and there is a simple answer for this: we don't. Shocker, right? We're new at this, cut us some slack. Moreover, I beleive the most effective and long lasting life lessons are learned through experience, trial and error. Which brings me to our youth's supposed tendency to "over drink." Let me ask this, how are we supposed to know not to do it, if we never get our first really out-of-this-world bad hangover? If that is not a lesson learned in life, I do not know what is. We are essentially our own teachers in this right. Next up, and my personal favorite, is the role that consumerism plays in young adults lives. This requires a monosyllabic answer ...NONE. I am a girl and I absolutely HATE shopping. There is no gratification in buying a materialistic good that would fall out of style in another few months. Unbeleivably, we young adults can appreciate meaningful relationships and untangible benefits more so than a nice pair of shoes. Another hot topic in this article unveils why young adults have sex "so undicriminately"- yet, another very misleading broad assumption. I like to think our youth becomes smarter every generation and takes more time thinking through the consequences of our actions. Ultimately, Smith is talking about a fine minority of people who engage in these "undiscriminate" acts, people, who more than likely have other influencing life factors that lead them to treat their body so disrespectfully. Lastly, Smith takes a stab at the youth, claiming that they are completely disappearing from politics- which need I say, is absolutely false? We have not disappeared from the political podium- we simply have different political interests we pursue. While the working middle class may handle taxes and social security with the upmost concern, we like to focus our interests elsewhere. We are the "green" generation after all- so while the adults take care of their "monetary" green, we'll pick up the slack with the "earth" green.
Finally, I would like to speak on a personal note. I beleive who you are as a young adult is a true reflection of how you were raised and what your parents indoctrinated into your core beleifs and values as a child. Personally, I feel like my parents raised me on core values without being too strict or overbearing, allowing me to have my space to mature and learn on my own, while also providing me with guidance when it was needed. It is for this reason why this presumptious article hit home. As a college kid, coming from a stable and strong household, I can not say that I have ever felt the need to have sex undiscriminately, disengage myself from the world of politics, shop to feel happy, or drink to feel accepted. This leads me to say, that an individual's transition into adulthood is not alike for all, and should not be overgeneralized. From my strong filial background, I can not say that I could feel any more prepared for the imminent adulthood that awaits me. From my firm base of principles and values, I say "bring it."
I personally think kids get their morals and ideals from A) their parents and B) their friends. But more importantly their family. It is how they are raised. I know that how i feel about having premarital sex, drinking underage, or cheating on a significant others stems from what my parents and religion taught me. Even if my friends are all having sex and getting "wasted" on the weekends, that was never really my niche. Sure, they were still my best friends, but I would not partake in activities that I did not think were right. In general, I would have to say most actions by kids are done with a care-free mindset. They never think of consequences, like killing a person while driving drunk, getting a women pregnant and not being able to pay child support, or even breaking somebody's heart. That is why most kids do not know what is going on in the world either. Most are so conceded and they do not think it affects them that they do not care to learn about it. When they get into the "real" world, they have no clue of what to do because they have been sheltered all their lives by their "mommies" and "daddies" and nothing has even gone wrong. These are the problems this upcoming generation is going to have to deal with in order to succeed!
The author, Christian Smith, has done well to examine this subject. Between 'moral relativism', aimlessness / ennui caused by "I want it, oh, wov, had it the same hour or same day, what else is there?", - Western youth are off the rails. Some of them even know it.
With slack policing and sentencing, they would take their frustrations out on some homeless man or some stranger walking through a public park - bash them up real hard, even kill them.
Drugs like cocaine are not helping. In the West, lot of high school students use / abuse drugs.
To stay on the rails, requires some moral certainties. Surrounding family, social and economic environment need to reinforce those basic moral certainties.
"khm...3YT" has, rightly in my view, mentioned youth crisis in another civilisation - even more worrisome. I don't know if someone has gathered the statistics - the number of young people, some around 13 years of age who have been suicide bombers in the 'Af-Pak' region must be staggering and sad.
Our generation is lost. Being a current college student, I believe that I have the right to make such a statement. I see firsthand how people act. I live on a campus with over twenty thousand other students. I get to come across a wide spectrum of religious, ethical, moral, and personal beliefs. Some are very sure and set in their ways, but others are just in that gray area. I think it's safe to say that the majority will do what others define as eithical, and they won't do what they think other's won't accept. That is how people base their actions and character. It should truly not be this way, but the opposite. I know that deciding one's beliefs is a long and difficult process, but it must be done. We can't let others decide our beliefs for us. It is critical for each individual to set their personal limits and ethical beliefs so that our society doesn't keep shifting so quickly. More unethical things are becoming acceptable every day and it will only continue to get worse. The new generation must be taught how to make beliefs and set boundaries in order to prevent this process from continuing down the path it is on.

All taxi drivers will know where La Papa Loca's is near downtown. Amazing small local restaurant with the best loaded baked potato ever. We went three times in two weeks it was so delicious.
look its our opinion only so I have to say I can t see what the fuss is about ? if you like huge baked potatoes stuffed with all sorts of gooey stuff fine it was just okay 4 of us said the same thing . the meal goes done with a thud so don t expect to hit the...
We were shown this restaurant by a local and definitely was not sorry. We went back more than once. Cheap excellent food. Loved the pastor tacos and the service.
After reading the reviews my wife and I can hardly wait to try the potatoes. Little disappointed, I ordered the special, just too much meat and cheese and not enough cream on the potatoes. Should have just suck with the Basic Papa. The best baked potatoes in Zihua is still the Rubens, it is fluffy and properly buttered and creamier.
Always busy! Baked potatoes with whatever you like. I like the Crazy Potato..who knew pineapple on a baked potato would be tasty? They also have pastor to go on it..yummy! Sauces make it spicy as you like it. Cheap eats!
OMG amazing food both tacos pastor and their baked potaoes. So Amazing we went 3 times! The service wasn't that friendly everytime but one of the waitresses is great!
the food is the best, the stuffed potatoes here are the bomb! It's just a little place but with a Big Bang of fantastic food, we love this place every time we are in the area we go at least 2-3 times! I wish we had one in Canada!
when you see sausage on the item description--this ain't chorizo---------yep hotdogs. Urrrrchh. more hotdogs than potato. To be fair it seems that we hit it on a bad night cause my friends love the place. It's cheap no atmosphere--oops I'm going off again
Had the pleasure on Feb 15th and our group of 8 had an amazing food and atmosphere experience. The service was fantastic. A must when in Zih.
Sooooo good, Crazy Potato is exactly that. Incredible meal. Enjoy the locals favorite hang out and a cheap meal...60 pesos for a giant spud with whatever you want as a topping, yum yum.....

A great visit with a figgy friend
This is a double forum post for those that don't visit both.
Yesterday Linda and I left the house around 7 AM and drove about 6 hours to near Gary Texas to visit with J.A. (jstall) and Judy Stallone. It was a long ride but well worth it. J.A. had told me he lived way out in the country, I just didn't realize how far. If it would have been any further out in the country we would have had to put on hiking boots. I could almost hear the banjo's playing, haha. J.A. welcome us into his home where I also met his brother in law, a fine fellow in his own right, and we sat and chatted for a while. J.A. and I then went out and look at fig trees and tasted a couple of figs while Linda and J.A.'s brother in law stayed in to enjoy the AC. One in particular that got my attention was his Aldo or Palermo Red. That is one great tasting fig. It was sweet, but not overly sweet, and nice and figgy. J.A. will help me get one for my collection. I hope the good Lord grants me many more years to enjoy them and others. J.A. and I swapped a couple of trees. His wife Judy came home from work and we visited a while, not long enough, before we had to leave to be in Bossier City for a anniversary dinner for our daughter and son in law. I know I will make a lot more time available next time we head north to visit. My only regret is I forgot to take any pictures with our friends.
J.A., Linda and I want to thank you and Judy for the hospitality and friendship you shared with us. We are looking forward to the next visit already. I know we will not be able to visit enough with these fine people.
fig people are great
Martin, it was all I could do to convince Linda that I knew where I was going, me and my trusty laptop that is. I wouldn't travel without it (Delorme Street Atlas and GPS reciever). The best 69 bucks I ever spent.
And yes we had a wonderful time, too bad it was so short.

Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls
Flume Ride
Published: February 14, 2015
Featuring characters from the Dudley Do-Right cartoons that ran during the old Rocky & Bullwinkle TV show, this flume ride sails you through a classic melodrama where the inept officer of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police tries to save dear Nell from the clutches of the wicked Snidely Whiplash. Of course, it's Dudley's trusty steed, Horse, who's the brains of the team here, and all ends well — after a drenching double-dip final drop, of course.Tweet
This brought back so many great memories of watching Dudley Do-Right and Rocky and Bullwinkle reruns on Saturday mornings as a kid. Great theming, a nice long ride with a great buildup, and a really nice double-plunge at the end. Love the "curtain of water" set-up on the way back up the hill...
One of the best flume ride drops EVER! It seems like it needs some renovation though. 9/10
Outstanding flume ride. Exciting, funny, adventurous and wet wet wet. The Dudley Do Right theming is a howl. We love this attraction and ride it numerous times along with Jurassic Park River Adventures and Popeye/Blutos Bilge Rat Barges, the trifecta of theme park water rides.
While not the best ride in terms of theming (it's Dudley Do-Right for crying out loud), that final drop will leave you soaked to the bone. Biggest gripes: single riders line is too claustrophobic and lap bars are uncomfortable.
This is a great log flume ride. The ride has great interiors and the drop is a lot of fun.
Wow, this ride has some of the worst theming I've ever seen. However the last drop is so intense that I have to give it a great rating.
A very wet, but fun flume ride. The story is simple to follow and the visuals along the way are interesting. Of course the final drop/splashdown of the ride is the highlight of the attraction. A detractor though is the weird and sometimes uncomfortable seating in the ride vehicle. Larger and taller riders or people who enter the vehicle improperly may feel uncomfortable for the duration of the ride. Regardless, this is a cool ride.
No, it doesn't have the extensive theming of Splash Mountain, but it does have a cute storyline and a lot of humor. There are a few unexpected dips along the way, but the final drop is a doozy!
The theming may be a little weak, but the ride itself is great! Best flume ride I've ever been on, from a drop, speed, surprises point of view.
This is an awful ride that ones was ok but because of the changes of the ride vehicles the whole experience is ruined. It's horrible to get in and out of the vehicles and they lock you so tight in there you don't even feel the final drop what used to be the highlight of this ride.

Very good, lashes look brilliant with it on.
Lovely product! Makes my eyes look far more defined, open and awake. It holds put and does not clump or look flakey.
Absolutely love this mascara! Only mascara that really makes a difference to them. They make them noticeable without having to cake it on.
Good colour but brush too large for me
First time I have used this but so far love it doesn't clog and easy to remove it.
Love it
Amazing product
Fantastic mascara, which gave my eyelashes the definition I wanted
Love other bareminerals mascara but this clumps and clags.
Minot sure it's much better than the previous bareminerals mascara but it's definitely harder to get off.
Product good - bad service
Love this mascara, made my eyelashes look so pretty! It separates the lashes well and didn't clump at all. The brush is a bit big but it wasn't a problem for me.
A good product. one of the best mascaras Iv used compared to the pricier brands. Only thing is it does get a bit clumpy if you apply more than 2 coats. In this case I would say its the application technique that counts and not the quantity.
Present for my mum as she has just ran out of hers. Loves it!
Love it!
It makes my lashed look good with a bit of a fake effect but not too much and heavy. Only thing that I don't like that at the end of the day I end up with dark circles around my eyes.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Cards play hand right
Bosox miscues help St. Louis even Series
BOSTON -- Just when it seemed Michael Wacha had cracked, the St. Louis Cardinals began scooting around the bases and tied the World Series.
Wacha beat John Lackey in a matchup of present and past rookie sensations, and this time it was the Cardinals' turn to take advantage of sloppy fielding as St. Louis topped the Boston Red Sox 4-2 Thursday night to even the Series at a game apiece.
David Ortiz put Boston ahead in the sixth inning with a two-run homer just over the Green Monster in left, ending Wacha's scoreless streak at 18 2-3 innings -- a rookie record for a single post-season.
But then Lackey, who in 2002 with the Angels became the first rookie in 93 years to win Game 7 of a World Series, faltered in a three-run seventh. St. Louis went ahead when Matt Carpenter hit a sacrifice fly that led to a pair of runs, with the second scoring on errors by catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia and reliever Craig Breslow.
Carlos Beltran, back in the lineup after bruising ribs in the opener, followed with an RBI single.
"I wanted to be in the lineup. I worked so hard to get to this point," Beltran said. "Somebody would have to kill me in order for me to be out of the lineup."
Wacha, a 22-year-old right-hander, wasn't quite as sharp and allowed two runs, three hits and four walks in six innings with six strikeouts. But he improved to 4-0 in four outings this post-season, matching the amount of regular-season wins he has in his brief career.
"He pitched outstanding," Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina said. "Just one pitch, to a great hitter like Big Papi. We take our hat off to him, but I mean, he pitched good tonight."
His parents and sister made the trip from Texarkana, Texas, and sat bundled in cold-weather clothes in the stands to watch Wacha, the 19th pick in last year's amateur draft.
The Cardinals' hard-throwing bullpen combined for one-hit relief, with Trevor Rosenthal striking out all three batters in the ninth for a save. He whiffed Daniel Nava with a 99 m.p.h. fastball to end it.
All three St. Louis pitchers Thursday night were 23 or younger.
"It doesn't surprise me. Those guys got talent," Molina said. "Like I said many times before, they're not afraid to pitch."
Seeking its second World Series title in three seasons, St. Louis improved to 7-0 this post-season when scoring first and stopped Boston's Series winning streak at nine.
When the Series resumes Saturday night at Busch Stadium, Jake Peavy starts for the Red Sox and Joe Kelly for the Cardinals. Twenty-nine of the previous 55 teams that won Game 2 to tie the Series went on to take the title.
A night after the Cardinals made three errors in the opener and allowed the Red Sox to romp 8-1, the fielding failures were on the other side.
Given a 2-1 lead, Lackey walked David Freese with one out in the seventh and allowed Jon Jay's single. Breslow relieved, and the Cardinals pulled off a double steal as pinch-runner Pete Kozma swiped third.
