JEFFERSON CITY — In response to the drowning of a Joplin boy while on a field trip to a swimming pool, Missouri lawmakers voted Tuesday to mandate that privately owned, for-profit swimming pools carry liability insurance.
Six-year-old Ethan Cory drowned in July while at the Swimmin' Hole. State rules already require city pools, hotel pools and water parks in a theme park to have insurance. But pools such as the Swimmin' Hole that are privately owned and operating outside of the city aren't covered by that requirement.
The legislation requires private, for-profit water parks to have at least $1 million worth of liability insurance in case a customer dies or is injured. Pool operators would need to register with the state and prove they have liability insurance.
It would apply to pools that charge admission and have a capacity of up to 500 people with a water depth of more than 2 feet. Those who operate without insurance could face fines of $250 a day, up to a total of $10,000. Those who intentionally violate the law also could be charged with a misdemeanor crime punishable by up to a year in jail.
The legislation passed the Senate 27-6 Tuesday and had already cleared the House. It now goes to Gov. Matt Blunt and would take effect immediately upon his signature.
Sen. Gary Nodler, R-Joplin, described the drowning as a tragedy. He said the goal behind the insurance requirement is to force private pools to have enough lifeguards and take other safety measures. Nodler said that would likely happen if a for-profit pool is going to qualify for insurance coverage.
After Ethan drowned, his parents — John and Lauren Cory — filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the water park's owners and the Boys and Girls Club of Joplin, which was supervising the children on the field trip.
Court records filed in the lawsuit indicated that James and Diane Burt, who own the Swimmin' Hole, didn't have liability insurance for the pool.
James Burt told The Joplin Globe last year that he was being singled out by the Corys and their attorney and that the legislation was aimed at driving him out of business. He said liability insurance would cost him $72,000 a year and that he couldn't afford it.

A script in the Python language extracts the various output files from DocBook source files. Command line arguments are:
litsource file
Each DocBook-XML source file named on the command line is
read, and all the programlisting
elements with the correct role
attribute are assembled and written to the corresponding
If you are using the Unix make utility to build your document and source files, you
can add lines to your
to take care of building
the program source files.
First, in the part of your Makefile
that defines variables, define a variable named
that contains the name
of the source file you want to build. If you are
building multiple source files, any of them will work.
For instance, if your source file is called run.c
, the rule would look like this:
CODE_TARGET = run.c
Then, in the rules part of your Makefile
, add this rule:
code: $(CODE_TARGET) $(CODE_TARGET): $(TARGET).xml litsource $<
Make sure that the last line starts with an actual tab character.
Here's one more refinement. Suppose you are generating
an executable script in some scripting language like Perl
or Python, and you need to make that script executable
under Unix. Assume further that the script's name is in
the $(CODE_TARGET)
variable. You
can automate making the script executable with a rule
like this:
$(CODE_TARGET): $(TARGET).xml litsource $<; \ chmod +x $(CODE_TARGET)

WBC president Jose Sulaiman has warned WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao (54-3-2, 38KOs) to stay focused of suffer an upset loss to a very determined Timothy Bradley (28-0, 12KOs) on June 9th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Sulaiman feels Pacquiao is not fully focused on boxing and distracted by the numerous scandals and controversies hovering around his life.
"Pacquiao is a good boy, with a great heart, but he has lost his concentration in boxing. He has too many distractions, too many commitments," stated Sulaiman.
"I sent him a message: if you don't prepare you are going to lose. Bradley is a great fighter, and has incredible hand speed. Bradley has never lost and I do not see an easy fight for Pacquiao."

Tyler, The Creator - IFHY
Artist: Tyler, The Creator
Producer: Tyler, The Creator and Pharrell Williams
Album: Wolf
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 13 votes )
Those who tune in to Odd Future's Adult-Swim show, Loiter Squad, probably won't bat an eye at Tyler, The Creator's new video single, IFHY. For the rest of our readers, be warned, as this video is beyond strange. Weird? Yes, but also captivating and very original. As for the song itself, IFHY is one of the more cohesive, straight forward cuts from Tyler to date. While he generally leans toward a stream of consciousness style, here he tells a story of a love-hate relationship as a spacey, ever-changing beat, produced by Tyler and the ever-popular Pharrell Williams, staggers behind his booming flow. For the visuals, Wolf Haley gives the Odd Future leader and his girl a doll makeover, letting them work out their troubles in a dollhouse, apparently owned by Sid from Toy Story. For more out-of-left-field hip-hop be sure to grab Tyler's third studio album, Wolf, out this coming Tuesday.

Either way awesome shot dude!

I am going to look forward to finding out. But if it does become POTD, will we have to explain that we wrote these comments before it was made POTD, and now that it is POTD they are not relevant. I guess we will all find out if it does becomes POTD, if it does do we get to say I told you so? Think ill keep quite I'm quite modest.
Francois Bouwer Mar 10, 2011 Rating: 0
It would have been any other day. The moment on the other one is just to good to look past though... Hey, maybe since this one came in after the other one was made POTD, it can still be a contender for tomorrow?

Lights…camera…action! You're the director and the star of your own show with these handmade puppets. Cultures on every continent use puppets to tell their stories, teach their beliefs, and just for fun! Take part in an ancient tradition by making your own puppets, and bring them to life with plays and fables from around the world.
Your story can take place anywhere, and your puppets can do anything you can imagine. Would you like to explore the beautiful beaches of Fiji, turn into a fierce and powerful tiger, or build your own teepee? With the puppets below, anything is possible.
So browse this page for descriptions and illustrations of each puppet project, and then decide what story you want to tell today!
Elephant Finger Puppets - Make elephant finger puppets that are animated with three of your fingers—two fingers for the legs and another finger for the head. These puppets are easy to make—just cut, fold and glue. These puppets go with lion, rabbit and sheep puppets in the Three-Finger Puppets craft project.
Foam Ball Clown and King Puppets - Create quick and easy hand puppets based on Styrofoam® balls used as the puppet head. You can use felt cutouts and/or pom-poms and wiggly eyes to add a funny face to your clown puppet. Once you have made the clown puppet, try your hand at making a regal king with a crown and a cape or a clown king with a funny face!
Cat and Owl Paper Bag Puppets - Paper bag puppets are great fun and, with just a few cutouts and a bit of drawing, you can make a puppet for just about any animal. In this project make cat and owl puppets that open and close their eyes as you move the paper bag flap with your hand.
Paper Bag Hand Puppets - Make funny, talking hand puppets from simple paper bags, and perform Clever Gretel, a play based on a Brothers Grimm folktale from Germany. But watch out—Gretel is hungry!
Toilet Paper Tube Puppets - Winter in Latvia is long and cold. What will the Farmer and his family do to make it through? Use empty toilet paper tubes to make these finger puppets, and find out what happens when the family takes Grandfather's Advice.
Clip Art Bag Puppets Friday Fun - More puppet fun! This time using clip art to make paper bag puppets. A quick, easy and fun activity for families and groups.
Stick Puppets - Start your adventures with some simple stick puppets and shadow puppets! Your new ocean friends will help you put on a play based on a fable from the Fiji Islands: The Great Shark God.
Clip Art or Photo Stick Puppets Friday Fun - Nothing is off-limits in this creative puppet project. Craft simple stick puppets from magazine photos, clip art, coloring book cutouts, or other paper images! You can even use photos you've taken to put on a special play starring you and your friends—just make sure to ask Mom first.
Animated Stick Puppets - Pep up your puppets by giving them the ability to move! In the puppet play, The Defeat of Great Glooskap, you'll see how a baby can defeat a great Algonquin warrior.
Finger Puppets - Lions, tigers, and bears—oh my! It must be time to go to the circus. Create acrobat, strongman, clown, and elephant finger puppets for your very own circus. Then, invite your friends and family to the show!
Paper Cone Finger Puppets - Have you ever tried to trick someone? The wily Fox has—and he knows just what to say to keep Tiger from eating him in this play, Officer of Heaven, based on a Chinese folktale. This easy paper cone finger puppet project is perfect for classroom crafting.
Two-Finger Puppets - Try this "handy" little project to put on a quick, fun and easy puppet show! Your fingers will become the legs of little bird puppets. Then, put on the Australian Aboriginal folktale The Medicine-man to find out how the rooster got his comb!
Three-Finger Puppets - Three fingers is all it takes to bring these paper animal puppets to life! Make a fierce golden lion, a timid rabbit, or a funny bighorn sheep. Your puppets can be friends or foes in any story you can imagine; or, act out the included Aesop fable, The Lion and the Rabbit.
Simple Mitt Hand Puppets - What did one mitt say to the other? That's up to you with this easily customized puppet. Facial features and your own custom cutouts transform a basic mitt shape into funny characters, adorable animals, monsters, and anything else you can imagine.
Fabric Mitt Hand Puppets - Tiny tailors and seamstresses will love creating these easily sewn fabric mitt puppets. Cut your cloth using Aunt Annie's patterns for cat and rabbit puppets, then use fabric markers, embroidery and felt cutouts to customize your playtime pals. Or, simply print the included full-color patterns directly on fabric for quick and easy puppet-making!
Folktales and fables from around the world are the basis for Aunt Annie's puppet plays. Each project includes the puppets needed to put on the puppet play.
In the project
Paper Cone Finger Puppets make the animal characters
for the puppet play
of Heaven.

Ask your child if she has any jitters or worries about her first day of school, and how you can help. Talking about her anxiety and allowing her to express her fears openly may be enough to calm her down. Help your child come up with a game plan to deal with any situations that may seem stressful to her, and let her know she can always go to her teacher for help.
It is also acceptable to allow your child to be a little clingy the first few days back to school. Children need their parents to help them make a smooth transition, so if she wants you to walk her into the classroom for the first week, go ahead and do it. Gradually encourage your child to feel comfortable going it alone.

Students at the Emily Carr University of Art and Design (ECUAD) designed these pieces of beautiful furniture for Far Coast Coffee's (Coke's coffee brand) social areas at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. The furniture is made entirely out of blue pine wood in an attempt to raise awareness about the mountain pine beetle's devastating effect on the pine industry.
ECUAD's website explains, "The asymmetrical design of the chairs allows for two versions (left and right hand version) with only a minimal increase in manufacturing costs. The unique pattern also gives a more memorable experience to its users while maximizing arrangements when combined with multiple pieces." The furniture is placed throughout the Media Center and Athlete's Village at the Olympic games. We can just imagine Lindsay Vonn and Apolo Ohno relaxing on these chairs between races!
Thanks for the tip, Nicanor!

The Italian thinks the misfiring Chelsea striker has been on a downward spiral since playing under Rafael Benitez at Liverpool and has also backed Juventus to beat the Blues
Russia coach Fabio Capello believes Chelsea striker Fernando Torres "is slowly losing it" and highlighted his lack of unpredictability and speed for his slump in form.The under-pressure Spain international has struggled to establish himself since moving to Stamford Bridge for £50 million in January 2011.
Blues boss Roberto Di Matteo recently revealed he is considering dropping Torres for their vital Champions League game against Juventus, with Daniel Sturridge tipped to take his place as the focal point of their attack.
Capello told Italia 2: "Fernando Torres is slowly losing it. I don't know what is happening because he was very good when Rafael Benitez was the Liverpool manager.
18/1 | Fernando Torres is 18/1 with Bet365 to score the first goal in a Chelsea win over Juventus |
Chelsea's trip to Juventus is important to both side's chances of progressing, and Capello thinks the Bianconeri are capable of beating the current European Champions.
He added: "Juventus can beat Chelsea, they have to pay attention to the three Blues offensive midfielder. [Mirko] Vucinic can make the difference, he's the best Juventus striker but we have to be patient with [Sebastian] Giovinco, he can become like Zola."
The 66-year-old also spoke of his sudden exit as England coach earlier this year, adding: "The reason I left England was to defend Terry. English people are too moralist - they want people to behave in a certain way, and then they take hasty decisions like that [Terry] who was later acquitted.
"My intention is to end my career when my contract with Russia terminates. If there's an interesting project I could change my plans but nowadays I can't see nothing interesting."

Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. today announces its new BDR-205 Blu-ray Disc® Computer Writer, the industry's first and fastest model to feature up to 12x write speed for single and dual-layer Blu-ray Disc (BD) media*. Ideal for authoring providers and system builders, the Pioneer® BD/DVD/CD Writer provides accurate, rapid performance for demanding professional applications.
"The BDR-205 drive represents our ongoing efforts to combine Pioneer's engineering expertise with advanced technologies, and our next generation Blu-ray Disc writer is a great example of our no-compromise approach to optical disc product development," said Steve Cohn, director of optical disc sales for Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. "We are bringing to market the fastest Blu-ray Disc writer to date, and it is just one of the many 'firsts' that have come to define Pioneer's 30-year heritage in optical disc innovation and leadership."
Dynamic Performance for an Array of Professional Users
When utilized with a properly configured PC, the drive's Low Vibration Mechanism Design improves overall writing accuracy, especially for those preserving copious amounts of critical data. Designed for maximum flexibility, Pioneer's writer provides significant solutions for multiple user groups, including:
- System builders can confidently recommend the sophisticated BDR-205 to their clients, noting the drive's unique design, robust build quality and high grade parts
- With 50Gbytes** of storage space on a dual-layer Blu-ray Disc, professional users can utilize the BDR-205 to rapidly test high definition feature films during the authoring process, as well as to back up large volumes of data with ease

We've heard your feedback and are continuing to build a better Slickdeals. Click here to check out the updated site.
For reference, the PJD5233 can project a 73" diagonal image size from 10 feet away, while the PJD5353 short throw DLP projector can project a 221" diagonal image size from the same viewing distance. http://www.viewsonic.c |
This may be helpful if you're interested. Another decided advantage for LCD over DLP in placement flexibility is lens shift. Keep in mind that, like this article says, what we're talking about here is "most" or in most comparable cases. Advantages over disadvantages aren't always universal depending on model, cost, etc., but these are things you want to be aware of when buying a projector and make sure it will fit your needs based on where and how you'll be using it. http://www.projectorre |
Short throw projectors are just that. They're designed to project larger images where viewing distance is limited. This doesn't necessarily mean it's specific for home theater or work presentation use, as I believe that is purely subjective to the end user's intentions. |
Short throw projectors are just that, but the projectors being discussed in this thread weren't that now were they? Not until you came along and decided to introduce specialization into the conversation. Short throws were developed mostly for presentation purposes, so that the presenter doesn't have the projector right in front of him shinning in his eyes, but you also "generally" (just to annoy you further) are giving up something in image quality and detail to get it, which is why they don't "generally" make for the best HTR projectors. And even among the "short throw" specialty, LCD still gives better placement flexibility than DLP. There is give and take with all the various options and, as is typical, you can have all your cake and eat it too if you are willing to pay for it, but when you're talking about more basic, low cost projectors as this thread was about, what I added was both accurate and pertinent and a little attention to context and a modest amount of research would have provided all the "concrete data" on that you needed. Instead, you chose this. Congratulations to you. |
Let's be honest, neither you nor I are AVS professionals. Whether you believe short-throw DLP projectors are specialized or not, the fact remains that it's still a DLP lamp projector. If you even bothered to check your claims before making another wild statement, then you would've realized that the PJD5353 short-throw projector can be had for around the $500 range. That's in the same ball park as most LED projectors, and only $100 more than the LG LED projector that was brought into discussion. I use a Viewsonic PJD5133 DLP projector as my main TV at my apartment's living room. I personally did not experience the so called placement issue you're so fond of talking about. To add substance (see what I did there), I've attached pictures to show you my setup. Pics were taken with the blinds fully open just to show what kind of quality you get with a 2700 lumens lens in a bright room setting. |

1 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Lord, You have been favorable to Your land; You have brought back the captivity of Jacob.
2 You have forgiven the iniquity of Your people; You have covered all their sin. Selah
3 You have taken away all Your wrath; You have turned from the fierceness of Your anger.
4 Restore us, O God of our salvation, And cause Your anger toward us to cease.
5 Will You be angry with us forever? Will You prolong Your anger to all generations?
6 Will You not revive us again, That Your people may rejoice in You?
7 Show us Your mercy, Lord, And grant us Your salvation.
8 I will hear what God the Lord will speak, For He will speak peace To His people and to His saints; But let them not turn back to folly.
9 Surely His salvation is near to those who fear Him, That glory may dwell in our land.
10 Mercy and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed.
11 Truth shall spring out of the earth, And righteousness shall look down from heaven.
12 Yes, the Lord will give what is good; And our land will yield its increase.
13 Righteousness will go before Him, And shall make His footsteps our pathway.

The solitary life of introspective poet Emily Dickinson will be brought to the screen starring Cynthia Nixon and directed by Terence Davies.
The film, titled A Quiet Passion, will follow Dickinson's life "from precocious schoolgirl to the tortured recluse who saw only seven of her more than 1,000 poems published in her lifetime."
Davies says he wrote the screenplay for Nixon. "It was the kind of dream casting you hope for," he says. "I never, for a moment, imagined my wishes would materialize. Cynthia has such a strong feeling for the work — and now she is our Emily Dickinson. I'm over the moon."
Nixon is equally excited about portraying the mysterious poet "When I read what Terence had written, I was consumed by the character he had so beautifully put on the page," Nixon says. "Emily Dickinson's words and Terence's somehow dovetail to create a heady elixir. When I put the script down, I knew it was a story that I simply have to be part of."
Though Davies is gay and Nixon is bisexual, it's unknown whether the film will delve into Dickinson's own purported bisexuality.
Davies has a distinguished track record coaxing remarkable performances from female actors in his film adaptations, including Gillian Anderson's acclaimed turn in Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth and Rachel Weisz in Terrence Rattigan's The Deep Blue Sea.

A simple ceremony consisting of poetry, a bagpiper playing Amazing Grace, and a candlelight vigil will dedicate a special display called "We Will Never Forget" to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The windows near the Saginaw and Kearsley Streets entrance to the University Pavilion (UPAV) are covered with nearly 3,000 names of the victims and heroes who died in the attacks.
"Seeing each name in print serves as a visual representation of the fatalities suffered on 9/11," said Mary Jo Sekelsky, vice chancellor for the Division of Student Affairs. "We Will Never Forget is intended to honor those who lost their lives. It also reminds us that we must never forget."
The ceremony will be held Friday, September 9 at 8 p.m. on the corner of Saginaw and Kearsley Streets. The names will remain on the windows through Veterans Day, November 11.

EUR/GBP forecast for the week of October 15, 2012, Technical Analysis
Add a comment
Technical Reports
To learn more click here
The EUR/GBP pair ended up unchanged for the previous week as we continue to tread water around the 0.8050 level. The fact that the market has been able to stay this highlights does suggest that there is a bit of strength underneath the move, and as such we have to admit a bit of surprise.
Because of this, we are not very interested in trading this pair at the moment. We think that it will continue to bounce around between the 0.79 and 0.81 levels in the meantime. With that in mind, there isn't much room for the long term trader to participate. If we managed to break down below the 0.79 level we would not hesitate to start selling again as it is with the trend.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A well-fertilised discussion,
By FrKurt Messick "FrKurt Messick" (Bloomington, IN USA) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME) (TOP 500 REVIEWER)
This review is from: On Bullshit (Hardcover)
My first surprise about this book (other than the title, which I cannot add to this review due to the propriety involved) is its brevity. Given the vastness, at least in potential, of the subject matter, the book could fill volumes. Of course, the author Harry Frankfurt might argue that there are indeed already volumes and volumes of balderdash. He states at the beginning that 'One of the most salient features of our culture is that there is so much', er, humbug. 'Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share.'
Frankfurt claims that the issue has not attracted sustained inquiry (he obviously has not been part of the committee meetings I've attended in the past few decades). This book, or rather booklet, is more of a brief essay or primer on the subject, looking at the issue from a linguistic standpoint as well as conceptual framework. There are many synonyms that come close; words such as humbug and balderdash (already used in this review) approximate the title term. Quoting Max Black's essay, 'The Prevalence of Humbug', Frankfurt suggests other closely related words such as claptrap, hokum, drivel, and such. Drawing from the OED definitions, he analyses the key elements of humbug, including misrepresentation just short of lying, elements of pomposity and pretentiousness (loosely applicable), and a possibility of embodiment in feeling or in thought. Frankfurt also explores the issue of the title term in relation to an incident between Ludwig Wittgenstein (whose philosophical work reaches great heights in clarity and precision, particularly with regard to language and locution) and Fania Pascal. Wittgenstein's substitute term for the title term might have been 'nonsense', and he was diligent at working against such forms of language that might fall into disarray. When is a joke not a joke? Perhaps when it is uttered by Wittgenstein. Or perhaps when it is misinterpreted by Pascal. Frankfurt looks at the title term in pieces. He looks at the term 'bull' and the later half separately, seeing what difference they make to each other. A 'bull' session is generally unstructured, personal, emotion-dominated. The other term is similarly unstructured for the most part, indicative of waste and odour, and generally not useful, save in very particular circumstances. There is a general lack of importance about it. But is this really true? Frankfurt quotes the OED's use of the title term as verb (previously he had been looking at it from the standpoint of a noun), drawing Ezra Pound's Cantos into the mix, and the Bible as well. There is a sense of bluffing - one could easily use the title term in regard to something someone says that probably is not going to be true, or not going to be done. Frankfurt even draws St. Augustine into the mix, attaching the title term to the rarest form of lying among Augustine's construct of the eight types of lying. It isn't necessarily lying to attain a goal, but rather for its own sake. But then, what becomes of the definition of humbug, offered earlier, that claims to stop just short of lying. Frankfurt claims that the title term, perhaps as a thing or an act, 'is unavoidable whenever circumstances require someone to talk without knowing what he is talking about.' This comes close to being a universal truth. Frankfurt proceeds to talk about anti-realist doctrines, sincerity versus correctness, and finally, to making a declaration that makes the reader wonder, was this entire thing an exercise in seeing just how much of the title term he could get away with as an author? If so, he is brilliantly tapping into the postmodern ethos. Or perhaps that is all hokum, too.

Two Key Points -- No BS,
This review is from: On Bullshit (Kindle Edition)
This book has serious points to make, although the reader may wander through a few pages before becoming confident that it is not attempting a self-parody. Stay with it and glean at least two key concepts.
First, BS is not lying. A liar knows the truth and carefully crafts an alternative to it to further some agenda. The BSer operates without regard for--perhaps even knowledge of--the truth. The BS is created to achieve an effect, to please the ego or ear, or perhaps just to fill some conversational space the speaker feels unable to neglect with silence. To the BSer, the offered BS even has some non-zero chance of being true--if it were only worth the bother to check. The second insight is that certain organizational roles create pressure to engage in BS more than others. The author points to leaders who have frequent opportunities or demands to speak about their organizations' accomplishments without being very involved in the planning, production or evaluation of said accomplishments. Much of what these leaders say will be BS, to the sorrow and pain of those who must live with the consequences. I'll close with a recommendation and a plea. I recommend that you buy a copy of this book for your own intellectual and moral development. It is brief, readable and encourages us to think seriously about both the truth and consequences of what we claim to know. Satisfied readers will also value an encounter with the author's related book, On Truth. I then plead with you to purchase a second copy and mail it anonymously to the Federal Executive Institute in Charlottesville, Virginia where Senior Executives for the Federal government are trained. Only good can come from some of them reading it. Members of the Senior Executive Service are selected based on general leadership ability and assigned jobs under the theory that specific technical program knowledge is far less important than this general ability. These conditions make them particularly likely to become chronic BSers. Let's try to help them--and ourselves.

Thin and Expensive but interesting,
This review is from: On Bullshit (Hardcover)
It is a quick and interesting read. The book isn't only insightful, but I also like the writing style. Yes, we are surrounded with BS, and I agree with the author that BS is probably bigger enemy of the truth than outright lies. At the same time, BS is so prevalent in our society nowadays that it is almost impossible to escape it, no matter where you go.
I think that the price is a little high to pay for 80 pages. But, on the other hand, it is comparable to the cost of coffee and a snack in an average cafeteria, so it is worth the fun. I also recommend Why Do Men Have Nipples?: Hundreds of Questions You'd Only Ask a Doctor After Your Third Martini

A Very Important Book,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: On Bullshit (Hardcover)
When I saw the title (and before I had a chance to read the reviews) I expected that this book would be a light, very funny, very humorous work. How wrong I was!
This is not a funny book. Nor is it something that was written as a satire. Mr. Harry G. Frankfurt looks closely at BS as a concept and analyzes it. Also, he distinguishes this common phenomenon from lying and other similar notions. It is a guide for anyone who has ever heard and used this popular and widely used word. It is short and it is excellent!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Simply a great read,
This review is from: On Bullshit (Hardcover)
This was a great read. It is fun, well written, to the point, and short. It tackles its subject with seriousness, but not with boorishness. Frankfurt has produced a gem here, and I'm glad to have read it.

A hilarious book,
By Carl (Richmond, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: On Bullshit (Hardcover)
I consider this book to be a very rich philosophical yet hilarious work, challenging in content, and gripping as a smooth read. Tou will agree with me that this book stands out as a tantalizing novel. You never guess what you will find until you start reading it. One thing for sure is that you will laugh, smile and ponder in turns. In the end, you will be more of a truthful guy than a the other type.Another wryly humorous and philosophically insightful novel is THE USURPER AND OTHER STORIES

As well it may be,
By A Customer
This review is from: On Bullshit (Hardcover)
With all due respect to the author, however this "book" was originally an essay published in a philosophical journal. And it is now in book form, without being expanded. It taught me very little. It was occassionaly funny in that acedemic sort of way in which a cute remark or pun is supposed to be rib cracking hillarous.
There are interesting ideas that could have been expanded upon. But more aspects are left out and not touched at all. In the end, the writer leaves with a little wink, that this dicussion may be somewhat the same matter, and I wonder that as well.

Delhi's feathered friends have witnessed many an adventure and romance.
The New Year brings with it a host of activities and pastimes, one of which is pigeon fancying. Even now in the Walled City there are several mohallas where the kabootarbaz, as they are called, make morning and evening ring to cries of "Aaoo" to call back the air-borne pigeons. However, there was a time when, like the patangbaz or kite fliers, they too went to open spaces near the Yamuna bank to engage in kulkulain or competitions after feeding coarse grain to their flocks. Now because of encroachments on the river bank and consequent lack of space the pigeon-fanciers compete only from their rooftops.
Hafiz Mian was a great kabootarbaz in the last century and his main rival was Deen Badshah. Each of them had hundreds of pigeons, both of Indian and foreign breed. There were Russian, Turkish, Afghan pigeons and Burmese and some other South Asian breeds and of course, those from all over India. Their cost even then was great, with the acrobatic Lotan kabootar occupying pride of place in the kabootar-khana or specially built wood and wire mesh cages, with pigeon-holes for the birds to roost. The greybaz was also a highly prized bird like the Kabuli. Dennis Bhai's old father, Elias Sahib, used to say that his son could recognize the breed of a passing-by pigeon by just examining its droppings. Dennis Bhai had greenish eyes, just like some of his pigeons, and when he married he found a Muslim girl with the same kind of eyes, making a friend remark : "Wah Dennis, dulhan bhi khoob chuni hai. Aankh se aankh mila di". Bravo, you have found a bride with matching eyes. Dennis Bhai is dead but his dulhan, Qaisar, still survives as a tall, fair, slim pretty lady aging with grace, whose eyes glow with excitement whenever she sees a flock of pigeons darting across the sky to the frenzied whistling of rival kabootarbaz.
Pigeon-fancying is a very old sport. It was known in Egypt about 3,000 years ago and found great patronage in India during the Mughal era when pigeon-fanciers from Baghdad, Turkey, Iran and Egypt flocked to the court. Prince Salim, who ascended the throne as Jahangir, spent several hours in their company learning the tricks of pigeon-flying. It is said that one day he asked a young palace girl, Mehr-un-Nissa, to hold two of his pigeons while he went to answer an urgent summons from his father, the Emperor Akbar. On his return he found the girl had only one pigeon in her hand. When he asked her what had happened to the other, she replied; "This", and released the other pigeon also. Her witty answer pleased the prince and he fell in love with her. Later, he married the girl, who became famous as Nur Jahan.
Akbar himself was very fond of pigeon-flying and had some 20,000 pigeons of his own. He called the pastime "Ishkbazi" or love-play. Fr. Monserrate, who saw them, writes in his commentary:
"The pigeons are cared for by eunuchs and servant-maids. Their evolutions are controlled at will, when they are flying, by means of certain signals, just as those of well-trained soldiery are controlled by a competent general by means of bugles and drums. It will seem little short of the miraculous when I affirm that, when sent out, they dance, turn somersaults all together in the air, fly in orderly rhythm, and return to their starting point, all at the sound of a whistle." To come back to Hafiz Mian and Deen Badshah, the two, could do all that Monserrate observed and won many wagers against each other in competitions in which pigeon-fanciers from Bareilly, Agra, Gwalior, Saharanpur, Allahabad, Lucknow, Kanpur and Moradabad also participated. At two contests the stake was Rs.50,000, which was a very big amount back then. The last Delhi Kulkulain took place on January, 1, 1952 near Akbar's tomb at Sikandra (Agra) and Deen Badshah won half a lakh of rupees in a gruelling contest. Hafiz Mian stopped flying pigeons as he had lost most of his birds to his lucky rival and become almost a pauper – like the pigeon-fancier who lost his all after a fight with Nadir Shah's troopers, leading to the 1739 massacre of Delhi.

. I thought it was a good suggestion. My noticed there was a clause in my diet that if I found myself in Philadelphia I could have half a cheesesteak and half a chicken cutlet breaded and fried with spinach and sharp provolone. And a root beer. But just one root beer.

Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Aahhh coool
I seriously don't understand people sitting around with a movie for many months or eaven years. I have definitly not the energy to start a movie and sit a week to create 1 minute movie... I have started like 30 projects and abandoned after about 3 hours. i just think flash is so incredibly boring to work with and it feels like time stops and you start feeling like you are a prison in your own home. But the movie was real cool and I'm sure you have broken many small hearts by leaving it unfinished. Im sure it feels like a rat to abandon it too , i know that feeling. I loved the sound, the layout of the action scenes and so. Vote: 4
I totally understand how u feel. Yeah it does get boring and really hard to maintain your focus on it .. and the only reason I ever get this far with my flashes is because I find it fun to make them. I always start projects and then abandon them .. which really sucks. It just depends wat type of person you are though .. if you're impatient or not.

BioWare Mythic - Drops "BioWare"
by Dhruin, 2012-11-09 12:11:48
A minor item largely out of our scope but it's interesting to read the oft-renamed Mythic - which was BioWare Mythic - has dropped the "BioWare" from their name. Is it a sign that BioWare's name is tarnished? Speculate away.
