Heirs to Forgotten Kingdoms: Journeys Into the Disappearing Religions of the Middle East | 11/19/14
Gerard Russell
Despite its reputation for religious intolerance, the Middle East has long sheltered many distinctive faiths. How are groups such as the Mandaeans and Yazidis of Iraq, the Zoroastrians of Iran, and the Copts of Egypt hanging on to their ancient traditions? How can we combat religious hatred?

From Canada to Europe, how do different societies deal with immigrant groups? How have their policies evolved and where are they headed? What rights should domestic animals have? Will Kymlicka ably shows that the world is going through a rights revolution, demolishing the old hierarchies and gradually becoming more and more inclusive.

Frederic M. Wehrey
It's tempting to see today's Middle East conflicts as the continuation of centuries-old sectarian divisions, but Frederick Wehrey cautions against it. "Sectarianism is really a local institutional governance phenomenon that needs to be addressed through political reform in the Gulf, through ending discrimination, through greater participation in governance."
Moral Imagination | 05/14/14
David Bromwich
David Bromwich draws upon thinkers such as Burke, Lincoln, Gandhi, and Martin Luther King, Jr. to show that it is moral imagination which allows us to judge the right and wrong of actions apart from ourselves, to see the needs of strangers as clearly as the needs of friends. Thus it is essential to governing and to the well-being of the state.

George Rupp, James Traub
The United States' problem is the presumption of individualism, which is deeply resented and resisted in most of the world, except in some parts of Western Europe. Until we get over that, we are not going to be able to engage with international issues, because we are unaware of how deeply unacceptable our default position is to all those other communities.

George Rupp
"Convictions matter. At least our own convictions—the affirmations, commitments, and practices that are central to our personal and social identity—matter to us. Yet because we live in an era of unprecedented global interaction, the convictions of people everywhere also matter to all of us whether we know it or not."
Thought Leader: Rowan Williams | 07/30/13
Rowan Williams, Devin T. Stewart
"The heart of a global ethic for our time, or a convergent point of global ethical systems, is that twofold sense of recognizing one another's dignity and sharing our resources in justice. That is one of the areas where the religious traditions of the world have a very significant role to play, since they all in their different ways have a strong sense of how human dignity is to be understood and a strong commitment to justice."

We've seen a lot of pizza vending machines over the years here at Slice, but this one might take the cake for the fanciest, most-automated one yet. Dubbed Pizzametry, it's a spinning, pepperoni-slicing, pizza-boxing monster of a machine. Plus, it features a giant 37-inch screen that ... well ... serves you ads before it serves you pizza.

How many words does it take to write a scathing political or social critique? As evidenced by the new book "Politweet," by Salman Aristo, it can be done in less than 140 characters.
Anybody familiar with the microblogging service Twitter knows that 140 is the maximum number of characters allowed per message, better known as a tweet.
The short character count can be limiting, but many writers enjoy the challenge of condensing their thoughts or even whole stories into the tiny space.
Salman Aristo is the sort of writer who enjoys a good challenge.
He is best known for writing hit Indonesian films such as "Laskar Pelangi" ("The Rainbow Troops"), "Ayat-Ayat Cinta" ("The Verses of Love") and "Garuda di Dadaku" ("Garuda on My Chest").
But he said he has grown increasingly captivated by the potential of Twitter over the past year.
He signed up on the microblogging service in September 2009 and at first only used it to promote his films.
"In the beginning, I wasn't really sure about what I would do with Twitter," Salman said.
But in March, he learned of a Twitter community called Fiksi Mini, dedicated to sharing flash fiction, extremely short stories.
The concept was a revelation to him — Twitter could be a whole new medium to distribute his stories.
He abandoned his blog and switched to Twitter to share his flash fiction, becoming an active contributor in the Fiksi Mini community.
He has already posted more than 5,000 flash fiction stories.
"I am the user with the most retweeted stories on Fiksi Mini," he said.
His tiny tales also helped him gain more than 9,000 followers for his Twitter account, @salmanaristo.
Salman said he is inspired by everything around him, and his flash fiction deals with a wide variety of serious and comedic topics.
But one subject he kept returning to over and over again was politics, specifically stories critiquing politics and society in Indonesia.
"I am a product of the '90s," he said, referring back to the tumultuous era of Indonesian politics surrounding the fall of Suharto. He added that it was during that time that he honed his critical thinking skills as a journalism student at Bandung's Padjajaran University.
"The instinct to protest has ever since been a part of who I am."
Salman's incisive wit and large following on Twitter caught the attention of Bentang Pustaka, a publishing house.
They asked him if he was interested in publishing a collection of his microfiction.
He said he was apprehensive at first, unsure of how they could make an interesting book out of stories less than 140 characters long, but the publisher said they would package his stories with illustrations to help them come alive.
Thus "Politweet" was born. Each page is filled with amusing portraits satirizing Indonesian society, rendered in Salman's sharp prose accompanied by illustrations from Miko, the book's artist.
The story collection is filled with Salman's commentary on current events. While most of the satire is directed towards the government, he also critiques the media and society.
One page features an illustration of a young woman crying on her mother's lap. Salman's one-sentence story, which accompanies the picture, is simply a quote from the mother: "Kid, if you are going to grow up to be a housekeeper, don't get raped, no one will defend you."
A dark story to be sure, but, according to Salman, it is a critique of ignorant sentiments typified in a comment made by the speaker of the House of Representative, Marzuki Ali, who said that the quality of Indonesian maids was so bad that it was understandable if their employers got upset and abused them.
Another picture in the book shows two middle-class men having coffee. The first says, "These days, corruption is just like coffee, it's everywhere!" The second replies, "Yes, yes. Hey, how about this budget? Do you think the markup is correct?"
Salman said that story is meant to satirize the middle class in Indonesia, who complain about corruption even as they practice it themselves with little thought to their hypocrisy.
He said the story illustrated his belief that the middle class is the cause of many of Indonesia's problems because they have failed to stand up to corruption and are unconsciously taking on the mind-set of the corruptors themselves.
Salman, who is busy balancing time between his writing projects and his second baby with wife Ginatri S. Noer, said Bentang is planning to publish another book, similar to "Politweet," but focusing on love and romance rather than politics.
He is also in the middle of producing his second film, entitled "Jakarta Hati" ("Jakarta Heart").

Doug Stanhope posted a story on his website the other day that reads, in part:
"I've been lazy about putting up fun fan mail. This one showed up as actual hand-written snail-mail near 4th of July a year ago. My friend Hack read it out loud in the kitchen and we all laughed at the fan-boyish tone. At least at first. I'll transcribe it as it was written.
"'Dear Doug... or should I say feloow drunk Doug,
"'I was at your show last October or November down in Ft Lauderdale, I was the creepy kid in black among the crowd of creepy kids in black and I really enjoyed the show and I'm glad I got to see you live because I was beginning to think you weren't real; I was starting to think you were some form of CGI digital Santa Claus that was sent down by God to save us from this retarded society we live in. At least I got to see the philosopher Doug Stanhope do his magic and I'm talking real magic, the kind that makes you want to drink even when you really don't want to.
"'Anyway, since you're reading this you should know that I'm already dead by the time you get this. I'm no fan of the world and even less the way I live in it, and there are some good things but I've had 23 almost 24 years to do those things, and although I want to stay a little longer and get to see some more I can't, for the moral justice thinks I have to do 7 years in a prison for looking at the wrong kind of porn even though that happened to me as a kid and I never complained about it...So Doug, thanks for giving me something to laugh at, that was almost impossible with my gloomy outlook and sick sense of humour. Thanks for being the one person with the balls to speak out the truth. I hope you are much more successful in what's left of your career and save some worthy people before it's too late.'"
Stanhope added, "We checked it out and he indeed killed himself after being arrested with child porn on his computer and facing 7 years. My lawyer friend who looked up the case said he did the right thing, considering his odds in prison...Comics always say that they are happy to be able to make people laugh, to give em a small break from their daily grind, their grueling nine-to-five. A lot of my people have a much darker grind and I'm happy to give them a nice chuckle and release at the end of a long day setting fires, drowning their kids in a car and blaming it on the blacks or debating between suicide or prison...I don't know exactly why I appeal to so many wrecked, scared, miserable, ugly, angry or otherwise ill-suited for life as we know it. But I'm not unhappy that you're here. Every time there's somebody like the Aurora theater shooter, I check my mailing list and Facebook to see if they were a fan. I know that if it weren't for comedy, I might be sitting in a dark room stockpiling weapons and putting names on lists."

The new route will be served by one of the carrier's Boeing 777 freighter and follows the launch of passenger services to the Vietnamese capital in November 2010.
The new freighter service will return via Hong Kong.
The Hanoi service follows on the heels of a previously unannounced weekly freight route from Doha to Kozhikode and on to Bengaluru in southern India, which began in February and is operated by an Airbus A300-600F. The return flight is nonstop from Bengaluru.
The carrier now operates passenger or freight services to 12 Indian destinations.
"In India, we've seen a big upward trend in cargo movements," says Qatar Airways chief executive Akbar Al Baker. "The market in India is still growing and we see more opportunities on the horizon."
He adds that the carrier has identified Hanoi as a major growth market. "Vietnam exports a lot of manufactured goods and it is the world's second-largest exporter of rice."

Twist or big daddy Joel Robuchon
Hey everyone,
Gf and I have planned a culinary trip to Vegas for 5 nights, we have are reservation for Le Cirque, Sage, Raku, and e by Jose Andres. We need one more option in the $500 range including tips, we do not drink so that should enable us to splurge more on food.
We are both chefs who have done research on what type of food and experience we will have in Twist and Joel Robuchon. I'm leaning more towards Twist for the experimental and daring factor, while the Gf prefers to dine at JR for the upscale factor(limo ride, bread and mignardises cart).
If it makes any difference we are going to order a la carte at Twist(1 soup, 2 app, 3 mains, 1 dessert) all to share. While if we decide to do JR we are hoping to do the 4 course prix fixe menu(2 apps, 1 main, 1 dessert) we plan to choose different dishes per each course so we can try and share as many dishes as we can.
If you consider the restaurants we have resos for, none of them have the "wow" factor that Joel Robuchon provides. This is my Gf argument, but I really want to see what Twist is all about. Twist also has a new chef de cuisine as pascal Sanchez is leaving to start his own restaurant in France. I would love to see what Ryuki Kawasaki can do on his own. Ryuki has also worked for Robuchon for 4 years.
I guess we can just do a coin flip but I thought I might get some opinions first.
I've dined at both restaurants (Robuchon 3x and Twist 1x). While the food at Twist is more creative, not all of it was delicious. Gagnaire "twist" is to do multiple variations on a theme with some not being too successful. The room itself is very sleek--not glamorous like Robuchon. Service was fine-our captain was very charming, but the waiter must have just transferred from a local diner with lines like "hey, you still working on that?". Service at Robuchon is extremely polished yet friendly. I dined at Robuchon in March, and while not all of the dishes were as wonderful as my dinner there in 2011 which were the best of that trip, I'd still return quicker to Robuchon than Twist. Robuchon's "wow" factor with the limo, bread cart, and bon-bon trolley cannot be beat by any restaurant anywhere.
re: ellenost
We have reservations for Robuchon in June and was wondering if the degustation is worth the little extra money over the 6-course prixe fixe?
Our reservation is at 5:30 but we have show resos at Planet Hollywood for 9:30, I realize that with some of the choices on the prixe fixe menu it comes with a supplementary of up to $60. With the 6-course costing $240/pp and the degustation at $425/pp, is the price difference worth it and would 3 1/2 hours be enough for us to enjoy the full degustation?
re: lechonbaboy
I've dined 3 times at Robuchon, but have never had the deugstation. I've always gone with the 6 course tasting with substitutions from the a la carte menu and the supplementary charges from the tasting menu. I like being able to select my dishes, and many of the dishes of the degustation didn't "wow" me. My most recent dinner at Robuchon had 2 of the supplementary charges. I was not happy with the beef dish--very chewy/gristly. Much preferred the duck from my 2011 dinner. I think when I return to Robuchon, I'll opt for the 4 course tasting menu. I have a very "healthy" appetite--no problem getting through 16 courses at Momofuku Ko in NYC, but after 6 courses at Robuchon, I was too full to enjoy much on the "bon-bon" trolley. My 6 course dinners at Robuchon take a good 3 hours, and I was dining solo.
re: ellenost
How much did the 6-course meal end up costin you with the supplementary charges?
We were really set on having the 6-course but considering we are going all out at Guy Savoy we might as well do the same at Robuchon.
3 1/2 hours might not be enough to enjoy the degustation and we do have show reservations after, so being overly stuffed is something we want to avoid.
We also do have healthy appetites but I feel if we decide on the degustation that we might not be able to fully enjoy the bread and mignardises carts. We're very open minded when it comes to food and as chefs I believe our pallets are refined enough to be able to appreciate any dish.
I'm definitely leaning towards the 6-course but girlfriend is saying that we should just decide once we are there and have seen the menu, because unlike Guy Savoy; Robuchon changes his menus often.
re: lechonbaboy
Dinner (before tax and tip) was about $350--sorry, I can't remember since I charged it to my room at the Bellagio.
I highly recommend La Sphere de Sucre for dessert from the a la carte menu--it was one of the best desserts ever from any restaurant!
re: lechonbaboy
The first time we went to Robuchon we ordered the 6-course. We were stuffed by the time the cheese course rolled around (so to speak). And that's after making an effort to not eat too much from the bread cart (very difficult to do). I find the thought of the degustation daunting.
re: zippyh
$350 for the 6-course with the supplementary charges before tax and tip is getti awfully close to $425.
I keep thinking to myself that even though the 16 course might be a lot of food, the $425 price tag seems like a bargain when you consider the extra charges.
I have also read reviews that said the prixe fixe portions and a la carte portions are pretty much the same and that it is bigger if not double the size compared to the degustation portions. Add in the fact that degustation menu is completely different than the a la carte and the prixe fixe menu, its very enticing to have.
Time is the only thing I am really worried about. I reserved about 4 hours for our custom 16 course at Guy Savoy and I still feel that might not be enough for the reason that we are sitting at the chefs table. Interaction with the chefs and watching the magic happen can easily add time to our dinner.
It seems like everybody in Vegas has their own version of the sphere dessert(hot liquid poured on top to melt the sphere). I know for a fact that Guy Savoy and Le Cirque have different version of it on their menu.
We really want to decide in advance what kind of menu to have at Robuchon as we don't want to be spending/wasting a lot of time there deciding what to get. As much as we want to see peepshow we are willing to sacrifice being late for that show to be able to fully enjoy robuchon.
What a great dilemma to have lol
re: lechonbaboy
Robuchon's La Sphere is not what you've described. It is a hard sugar shell that has a cold lemon/raspberry mousse inside with pop rocks. No hot liquid to melt the shell; you need your spoon the crack the shell. Very unique.
re: ellenost
That sounds amazing, girlfriend has a sweet tooth and she is most excited for the desserts and mignardises cart. I think we will take your advice and either get the 4 or 6 course so we can indulge on the carts.
I have read reviews online about the degustation and and people really enjoyed it with around 4 hours, with 1 review saying they spent almost 5 1/2 enjoying the degustation.
re: lechonbaboy
If you and your girlfriend come to NYC, I think you'd love Momofuku Ko (either the 2 hour 10 course dinner for $125 or the 3 hour 16 course lunch for $175) and the extended tasting menu (20 courses) at Per Se (approx. $500) that lasted 5 1/2 hours. Have a great time!

press releaseBy Fekadu Ethiopia
The decision by the Government of Saudi Arabia to crack down on illegal immigrants is causing ripple effects at Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Daily flights between the two countries have doubled to accommodate a rapid influx of Ethiopian returnees. An estimated 40,000 returnees arrived over the span of a few days and that number is expected to increase to 80,000.
One of the first sights greeting the men and women now returning to their homeland is the emblem of the Red Cross. The Ethiopian Red Cross Society is at the forefront of operations, supporting the government in ensuring returnees receive the the assistance they require. Sixty Red Cross volunteers are working around the clock, carrying luggage for returnees, providing first aid, and transportation to shelters.
"Many of these people are arriving with very little. Some have had to leave all of their belongings behind," said Frehiwot Worku, Secretary General, Ethiopian Red Cross Society. "They need to rebuild their lives from scratch. Working with the government and other partners, we are making sure they have the basics, shelter, food, and blankets."
Critically, Red Cross volunteers are also ensuring returnees are reunited with their loved ones. "People are arriving exhausted, but also emotionally traumatized by the ordeal of having to leave Saudi Arabia," said Worku. "Providing a mobile phone so people can reconnect with their families helps to ease a lot of their anxiety. It is such a simple gesture, but the impact is tremendous."
The society has also deployed five ambulances to transport returnees from the airport to nearby hospitals, including mothers who gave birth either shortly before deportation or upon arrival. Staff and volunteers have helped build 15 temporary shelters and four first aid stations. They are distributing food and non-food items, including soap, blankets and plastic sheeting and work is underway to set up two additional temporary shelters to accommodate a further 4,000 returnees.
"We would not be able to do any of this if it weren't for our team of dedicated volunteers," said Worku. "They are putting their own lives aside for the moment to be by the sides of these returnees in need of assistance. With international volunteer day fast approaching, it is important to recognize their valuable contributions to these smaller scale but meaningful operations."

Now, it's worth asking, isn't this actually a recipe? I mean, making cake and all -- you eat it, right? To which I reply: It's only a recipe if I tell you what to put in it or how to cook it. This instructable is really a Play-With-Your-Foody, design-oriented endeavor. Quite edible indeed, but the key (har har) is achieving the appearance and design of a piano. I shall leave the baking and the caking as an exercise for the reader.
Step 1: Materials needed
- 1 rectangular (or square) cake or the ingredients&equipment to make one
- 1 pack of Keebler Fudge Sticks or knockoffs thereof
- 1 fine-tipped tube of black icing
- White buttercream frosting or the ingredients&equipment to make it
- Potentially 1 long knife (useful for any frustrating instructable, actually)
Step 2: First, bake yourself some cake.
- Cakepan is rectangular or square -- NOT ROUND -- and please, no castles.
- Finished cake has enough structural integrity to hold up during frosting
- Do not make something so good you can't help eating it yourself. This is a presentation piece, after all.
One last thing about the baking: I should note that the finished cake need not be tall at all; in fact, the ideal height is just about an inch -- the height of a piano key. But any height will turn out very effective, so don't sweat it.

ICBA Applauds Rep. Baker's Recovery Corporation Measure
Washington, D.C. (October 24, 2005) - The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) applauds Rep. Richard Baker (R-La.) for introducing legislation, the Louisiana Recovery Corporation Act (H.R. 4100), to establish a special agency to promote economic stabilization to Louisiana as the state recovers from the devastating impact of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
"Rep. Baker's bill will help our nation use resources in a coordinated way so that this vital region of the country recovers fully," said David E. Hayes, ICBA chairman and president and CEO of Security Bank, Dyersburg, Tenn. "Community banks in the area were helping their customers in the immediate aftermath of the hurricanes. This legislation will ensure their efforts are built upon and through the recovery corporation help these communities continue to recover and grow."
Baker's legislation includes ICBA's recommendation to establish a fund to allow the federal government to purchase impaired loans of borrowers affected by the disaster. In addition, ICBA recommends that the recovery corporation include areas in Mississippi and Texas that also suffered severe storm damage.
"We thank Rep. Baker for introducing this bill," Hayes added. "In addition to this measure, ICBA urges Congress to enact even more targeted proposals to help those in the affected areas recover." Among the legislation ICBA is asking Congress to enact the Hurricane Katrina Financial Services Relief Act of 2005 (H.R. 3945) scheduled for a vote in the House of Representatives this week; the Hurricanes Katrina and Rita Flood Insurance Buy-In Act of 2005 (H.R. 3922); and the Hurricane Check Cashing Relief Act of 2005 (H.R. 3909).
These measures would provide needed capital flexibility to help community banks lend in their communities; cover flooded properties that were not in designated flood areas; and indemnify banks that cashed checks in the early days following the disasters.

Ever so often in MMA, a fighter comes along—be it male or female—and makes you say "this kid has a lot of potential." In times when the MMA sands are shifting—legends of the sport are retiring (or being retired), others are too stubborn to call it quits and walk down the street with a five fights losing streak—to see these young fighters arise and become fan favorites is really refreshing.
And that my MMA friends, is the case with one Demetrious 'Mighty Mouse' Johnson.
Johnson, a wrestler fighting out of Kirkland, Washington, has the most wins by way of submission with two ko's and another two wins by decision. His only loss—a unanimous decision loss to Brad Pickett—came as an upset debut in the WEC on April, 2010, at the WEC Aldo vs. Faber card.
Since then, 'Mighty Mouse' has three straight wins under his belt, including a submission win over Damacio Page and a winning UFC debut against Norifumi 'Kid' Yamamoto, a knockout artist who was being promoted as the next big Japanese threat for the bantamweight division in the UFC.
Johnson's wrestling proved to be too much for the highly publicized, Japanese southpaw.
But earning a win inside the UFC means only one thing, you move up to bigger, stronger, and more dangerous competition, and in Johnson's case, that reality comes at him ten fold in his next fight against former WEC bantamweight champ, Miguel Angel Torres.
Without a doubt, this is the biggest fight in Johnson's career so far and a win here could really catapult him up the division ranks.
The MMA Truth caught up with 'Mighty Mouse' for a very quick conversation, just days before his fight against Torres, let's see what he had to say…
The MMA Truth's Angel R. Cordero: First of all DJ, thanks for taking the time to talk to us. How has training camp been for this fight and how's the weight going?
'Mighty Mouse' Johnson: Training camp went very well for this fight. It was a nice, long ten weeks I believe, very long and we are very excited about this fight. The weight is going good.
You are on a three fight win streak, you have only lost one fight, and you are facing not only a MMA veteran and standout, but a former champion also. Please give me your thoughts on your opponent, Miguel Torres, and how did you react when you heard you were facing him?
I think Miguel Torres is an awesome fighter and its a real honor to fight him. I'm just happy the UFC gave me the chance to fight him.
When the UFC gave me the call to fight Torres, I was all over it. I always want to fight the best guys in the world and I believe Miguel is one of the best guys in the UFC.
This is a question I asked all the fighters I interview, if you could pick a fight—if they let you pick an opponent—who would you choose? In or out of the UFC.
In the UFC it's not my job to pick my matches. I let them do that and if it was outside the cage it would have to be some of the dads off of teen movie in the MTV series. I don't like how those guys treat there girlfriends and kids.
Could you give us a quick prediction on the main event, Rampage vs. Hamill, and co-main event, Mir vs. Nelson?
For the main event, I'm going with Rampage. I like him, he is one of my favorite fighters. I like Hamill too, he is a really tough and gifted fighter.
On the co-main I got 'Big Country' because I like him, he is a down to earth guy and he isn't cocky. (laughs)
Well DJ, again thanks for taking the time to talk to us, I know it is rather difficult while being in the middle of all the pre-fight activities. We hope to have you visiting Puerto Rico some time soon! We are very much looking forward to your fight.
Anything you want to say to all The MMA Truth fans and MMA fans all over?
Thank you man, for doing the interview. I hope all you guys enjoy the show on Saturday.
Want to give shout out to my gym AMC, my coaches Drad Kertson, Trevor Jackson, Steve Skidds, Matt Hume, and Drew Brokenshire.
Huge thanks to XBOX 360, we got a awesome partnership going on. Big thanks to Raininer Crossfit.
We at The MMA Truth wish 'Mighty Mouse' the best of the best, not only in the cage, but in life too.
Don't forget Johnson vs. Torres will air LIVE on Spike this Saturday at 8pm ET.

Jane Buckingham, author of "The Modern Girl's Guide to Life," presents several solutions for women who find themselves in difficult situations.
Buckingham's "The Modern Girl's Guide to Sticky Situations," gives welcome advice with warmth and humor.
What should you do if your date shows up drunk? When should you share a big secret with someone new?
The book answers these questions, and covers a wide range of other issues that may crop up, including problems relating to dating and romance, family relationships and beauty.
Read an excerpt of the book below, and then head to the "GMA" Library to find more good reads.
This is one area in which I have far more expertise than I would like. There was the time my "true love" was only using me as a distraction while his girlfriend was in Europe for the summer, the time my best friend's boyfriend declared his secret love for me, the time I found out the guy who'd said he was going out to put money in the meter had really ditched me -- and stuck me with the check (I used to tell myself he'd been hit by a Mack truck, but I realize now I was delusional). Best of all, one guy told me he was gay so he wouldn't have to date me any more -- but he subsequently went on to date several of my best female friends.
The good news is, after kissing my share of not only frogs but also slugs, weasels, vermin, and downright asses, I did find my prince -- in the most unlikely of places! (A blind date in Orlando.) So whatever your status -- searching, settled, or satisfied -- don't worry, there's a sticky here for you.
You're having a fantastic time when all of a sudden your date says something so offensive you're pretty sure you misheard him. But then again, you're pretty sure you didn't.
First, make sure you're understanding him correctly. If you don't know how to phrase this question, say, "I just want to make sure I'm understanding you correctly. Did you really say all orange foods should be banned?" (Insert whatever's relevant.) If you're lucky, he'll deny or qualify. If he persists in the opinion that turns your stomach, call him on it -- but be demure. Tell him you disagree, but try to keep emotion out of it -- at first.
The more well-thought-out and less knee-jerk an argument, the more sense it usually makes to a man. (Sorry to generalize; it's biological.) However, if he does hold beliefs that are offensive to you, calmly make it clear that you disagree with him, then start wrapping up the date. It's not your job to change his narrow little mind.
You inadvertently insult your date -- or perhaps worse, he has the gall to insult you!
Nervousness has been the cause of a thousand gaffes. As soon as you realize your mistake, apologize, blame your wacky sense of humor, and ask to start over. A little bit of backtracking will usually earn you forgiveness. If your date insults you but it's clear he didn't mean to, either let the moment pass without acknowledging it or make a joke, like "But you like my pink hair, right?" If he really did insult you big time, end the date quickly. You deserve better!
Your date shows up drunk.

Cross attended St Paul's Girls' School, where her music teacher was the composer Gustav Holst, and studied singing at the Trinity College of Music. In 1923, she joined the chorus of the Vic-Wells opera company at the Old Vic, later taking on a wide range of solo soprano roles for the Sadler's Wells company and a few at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, including Mimi in La Boheme and Desdemona. In this period she also became a noted Marschallin, Sieglinde and Brunnhilde, Elisabeth, Elsa, Madame Butterfly, Aida, Donna Anna and Tatiana. During the Second World War, Cross undertook the direction of Sadler's Wells Opera Company, which was forced to become a touring company as its theatre was requisitioned by the government. The theatre reopened on 7 June 1945 with the premiere of Britten's Peter Grimes, in which Cross created the role of Ellen Orford. Because of rifts within the Sadler's Wells Company, Cross left to become a founding member of the English Opera Group in 1946/7. She sang comparatively little in the post-war years and retired from singing in 1955. Cross made 78-rpm discs of a number of operatic arias and other pieces of music in the 1930s and '40s. They attest not only to the beauty of her good-sized lyric voice but also to the excellence of her technique and the intelligence of her interpretations.

Cornelia Parker in Conversation with Richard Cork
The Eye of the Storm
Tuesday 6 November 2012
17.30 - 18.30, Kenneth Clark Lecture Theatre
Cornelia Parker, The Distance (a kiss with string attached) 2003Speaker(s): Cornelia Parker and Richard Cork.
Ticket/entry details: £7 (one price only). Book online here: http://courtauld-institute.digitalmuseum.co.uk (An automatic email of confirmation will be sent to you – if you do not receive this email, it means your booking has failed. Please contact email@example.com)
Courtauld staff/students (£2): tickets available to purchase from Student Union office.
Organised by: Professor Caroline Arscott.
Visitors to the 1997 Turner Prize exhibition were confronted by Cornelia Parker's arresting installation. Deftly and poetically, she suspended in a vertical downpour the scorched fragments of a Texas baptist church struck by lightning. But many of her major works are the outcome of destruction initiated by the artist herself. In 1988 she asked a steamroller driver to flatten 1,000 pieces of silverware carefully laid out in a curving line. Then Parker picked them up and set about making an installation from the squashed remains. Her most celebrated work, Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View, is even more dramatic. With expert help from the British army, she blew up a shed whose shattered contents were then transformed into a suspended masterpiece which threw shadows on the surrounding walls. But aggression is always countered by dry humour in her work. And the fragments achieve an alternative beauty of their own as they float and spin, like something resurrected, in the air.
Richard Cork is an award-winning art critic, historian, broadcaster, exhibition curator, and former Professor of Fine Art at Cambridge University and Senior Fellow at The Courtauld Institute of Art in London. Four volumes of his critical writings on modern art were published by Yale in 2003, and his new book is 'The Healing Presence of Art: A History of Western Art in Hospitals'.
Further information:
For some years Cornelia Parker's work has been concerned with formalising things beyond our control. In containing the volatile and making it into something that is quiet and contemplative like the 'eye of the storm'. Through a combination of visual and verbal allusions, her work triggers cultural metaphors and personal associations, allowing the viewer to witness the transformation of the most ordinary objects into something compelling and extraordinary.
Nominated for the Turner Prize in 1997, Cornelia Parker has became known for her installations and interventions, including Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View 1991 (Tate Modern) where she suspended the fragments of a garden shed, blown up for her by the British Army, and The Maybe, a collaboration with actress Tilda Swinton, at the Serpentine Gallery in 1995. In 2003 she wrapped Rodin's Kiss with a mile of a string to make a new work The Distance (a kiss with string attached) for her contribution to the Tate Triennial.
She has had recent solo exhibitions at Baltic, Gateshead (2010), the Whitechapel Gallery laboratory (2008) Ikon Gallery, Birmingham (2007) and the Museo De Arte de Lima, Peru (2008). Her work was included in the 4th Guangzhou Triennial 2012, On Line: Drawing Through the Twentieth Century, MoMA, New York 2010, 16th Sydney Biennale (2008) and in the 8th Sharjah Biennial, UAE (2007). She has works in the Tate Collection, MoMa NY, and in numerous public and private collections in Europe and the USA. She is represented by Frith Street Gallery, London.

I've been to Chengdu; was stuck on the ramp for 5 hours for bad weather in Shanghai and Chengdu. Glad a I had a first class seat.
iPad 3 rumored to be shipping from factories on Feb. 26, arriving in U.S. March 9, available for pre-order sometime
Adding to the mountain of iPad 3 rumors is word that shipments of Apple's next generation tablet will be leaving Foxconn factories in China on February 26 for arrival in the U.S. on March 9.
Friends broke the news: Chengdu International Airport at major international cargo charter flights, cargo owners demanding security, from CTU takeoff by stop PVG Shanghai, and then directly to ORD Chicago, the JFK New York, LAX in Los Angeles, March 9, completed before transport. According to the privately disclosed the Chengdu F production for the U.S. A company's latest products… Received friends inside information, Chengdu International Airport night cargo charter flights, said the owner of the security demanding, and in private that the Chengdu Fu X Kang new products. Takes note of the location of the United States (ORD Chicago, JFK New York, LAX in Los Angeles)
Looks like there may be some components, including storage chips, being shipped as well, according to photos found by Sonny Dickson. iMore previously heard that Apple was planning their iPad 3 event for March 7 and BGR has reported that iOS 5.1 was scheduled for March 9.
Apple released the last 2 iPads on Fridays, so that's consistent, however at 2 days it's also a far shorter period of time than last year's 9 days (announcement on March 2, launch on March 9). A GM version of iOS 5.1 hasn't even been released to developers yet, let alone a version that supports additional features presumed to be coming with the iPad 3. If Apple releases the GM seed of iOS 5.1 at the iPad 3 event, we'd expect at least a week between that and final release, a couple days before the product launch.
Furthermore, 9to5Mac's Marc Gurman has heard there may be pre-orders for the iPad 3, which would also indicate a slightly longer timeline. While the iPad 2 didn't have pre-orders, the iPhone 4S did (announcement on October 4, pre-orders on October 7, launch on October 14).
Gurman has also heard more talk of the iPad 2 sticking around at a lower price point.
Additionally, our sources are pointing to the discontinuation of all iPad 2 WiFi + 3G models and all iPad 2 WiFi-only models (except the black and white 16GB units – at least initially) when the iPad 3 launches. This would refute rumors of Apple launching the Retina Display-packing iPad 3 as an extension of the iPad 2 line, and would seem to back up rumors of Apple keeping the 16 GB iPad 2 around at a lower price point. This iPad 2 model discontinuation information is based on Apple product supply checks.
If that proves accurate, it could take some air out of the lower end, Amazon Kindle Fire and BlackBerry Playbook market.

Undeniably believe that that you said. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the internet the simplest thing to bear in mind of. I say to you, I certainly get irked whilst other people consider concerns that they just do not recognise about. You controlled to hit the nail upon the highest as well as defined out the entire thing without having side effect , other people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thank you

Flyers are fabulous once more, beat NYA 9-5 for Class B girls' lacrosse title
PORTLAND— In the end, there was just one word to describe the 2009 Waynflete girls' lacrosse team:
The Flyers capped a 15-0 season, the third unblemished campaign in program history, with a hard-fought 9-5 victory over North Yarmouth Academy in the Class B state game Saturday evening at Fitzpatrick Stadium.
Waynflete pummeled the Panthers by nine goals during the regular season, but as expected, the rematch was much, much closer.
The teams were deadlocked at the half, but the Flyers parlayed one of their two draw control wins into a goal from junior standout Morgan Woodhouse just 14 seconds into the second half and they led the rest of the way.
While NYA remained close throughout, the final 10 minutes would be all Waynflete, as the Flyers, who run the stall better than anyone, bled time off the clock and scored three more times to win their second straight title and the 10th in the illustrious reign of coach Cathie Connors.
"This one feels great," said Connors. "Being undefeated is really hard. I don't think anyone expected us to be undefeated. We had to work on a lot of things. It's amazing they pulled it together. I'm in awe of them. I feel very lucky. They really did it."
Running roughshod
The first 11 games of Waynflete's regular season were a breeze. The Flyers, who some (most notably their coach) thought would come back to the pack this spring, instead were transcendent from the get-go.
Waynflete opened with a 14-6 home win over York, routed visiting Falmouth, 16-7, rolled 18-5 at Massabesic and 13-2 at Marshwood, then had little trouble with visiting longtime rival Greely, 14-2.
The Flyers were expected to get a test from Western A contender Scarborough May 12, but cruised to an 18-6 triumph. Two days later, Waynflete turned back eventual Western A champion Kennebunk's best efforts, 10-4, to improve to 7-0.
Three straight road victories, 14-3 at Deering, 11-2 at Cape Elizabeth and 15-2 at Cheverus made it 10 straight.
When the Flyers hosted NYA May 30, they expected to get a close game, but instead, Waynflete romped again, 12-3.
Finally, in the regular season finale at Yarmouth June 1, the Flyers found themselves in a battle, but they broke a second half tie and went on to an 8-6 victory to finish undefeated for just the fourth time.
Road gets tougher
Waynflete earned the top seed for the Western B playoffs and was expected to stroll into the state game, but instead, got a pair of unexpected tests.
In the semifinals, the Flyers hosted No. 5 Falmouth and struggled early in both halves, but ultimately had enough to pull away to win 12-4.
The regional final was even tougher. Third-ranked Cape Elizabeth scrapped for almost 50 minutes, thanks to its athleticism, but down the stretch (and in a sign of things to come), Waynflete milked the clock and scored three times to win, 9-5, and capture its sixth regional crown in seven seasons.
The final step
The Flyers and Panthers (who went 10-2 in the regular season before downing Morse, 15-3, and Yarmouth, 10-7, in the regional playoffs) are no strangers in June.
Saturday's contest was the fifth time in nine years that the rivals met with a state title at stake.
Waynflete won the first four meetings: 9-5 in 2001, 9-6 in 2004, 5-4 (in overtime) in 2005 and 12-8 last year.
In the last one, the Panthers led at halftime, thanks to six goals from standout Courtney Dumont (now a junior), but the Flyers held Dumont in check in the second half and pulled away for the title.
Saturday's contest would also be tight most of the way.
Dumont set the tone when she won the opening draw, raced in and shot, but Waynflete junior goalie Sasha Timpson (who never played the position prior to March) stood tall and made the save.
"It can be intimidating facing Courtney, but I trust my defense so much," Timpson said. "You can't have that mentality that she'll score on you. I just had to keep my head up. We went out there knowing playoffs is a different story. The first time we played Cape it wasn't competitive, then they were much closer the second time. We all knew in the back of our heads that (NYA) would play well."
The Flyers then got the game's first goal when Woodhouse scored unassisted with 23:37 to go in the first half.
NYA won the ensuing draw and Dumont was denied by Timpson again, but at the 22:32 mark, senior Bugsy Clemetson (who missed the regular season game) converted a free position to tie the score.
With 16:55 left in the half, Waynflete went back on top, 2-1, when senior All-American Mariah Monks scored unassisted.
The Panthers then scored twice in 49 seconds to take their lone lead.
First, senior Lucy Gerrity scored after a pretty individual move. Then, Dumont got her first goal of the game to make it 3-2 NYA.
The Flyers drew even with 5:05 left when senior Ellie Cole set up junior Amy Allen for a goal.
Both Timpson and NYA senior Abigail Moss made nice saves in the waning moments and the game went to the half deadlocked.
The Panthers won six of the first half's seven draws, had an 18-11 advantage in ground balls and an 11-10 edge in shots.
Waynflete wasn't too concerned at the break, but knew it needed to seize control quickly in the second half.
"I saw a little lull and we talked at halftime," Connors said. "We had to slow the ball down. We decided to stay back and give up a little bit more of the midfield."
The Flyers couldn't have executed any better to start the second half.
They won their second and last draw and just 14 seconds in, Woodhouse fired a shot that Moss slowed, but couldn't stop and Waynflete was up to stay, 4-3.
"Cathie gave us the most motivating halftime speech you can imagine," Woodhouse said. "Our game is transition and passing up and down the field and that's what we did."
Dumont had a chance to tie it 46 seconds later, but her free position was denied by Timpson, who simply showed no fear at any point this season.
"Sasha was awesome," Connors said. "She was absolutely amazing."
The Flyers got a little breathing room with 23:25 to play when Woodhouse set up Cole for a goal, but just 11 seconds later, Dumont won the draw and raced in to beat Timpson to make it 5-4.
The game remained 5-4 for the next 12 minutes. NYA had its chances to draw even, but Clemetson's free position shot was wide, Dumont was denied again by Timpson on a free position and with 13:57 left, sophomore Lilly Wellenbach shot just high.
With 11:24 to go, Waynflete again went up by two when Woodhouse scored unassisted, but again, Dumont won the draw and scored unassisted to make it a 6-5 game with 11:10 to play.
After yet another Panthers' draw win, Dumont shot just wide and Timpson came up big on a Gerrity free position.
"Sasha's been amazing this year," Woodhouse said. "That save was so motivating."
Then, with 9:20 to play, Woodhouse set up senior Anna Libby for a transition goal and a 7-5 lead.
This time, the Flyers didn't give one back.
NYA turned the ball over with 8:40 to go and Waynflete ran nearly three minutes off the clock before a turnover of its own. The Panthers then kept possession for all of nine seconds before giving it up again. This time, Waynflete ran a minute-and-a-half off the clock before giving it back.
NYA then turned it over once more with 3:59 to play and this time, the Flyers made them pay, as Monks scored with 3:28 to play for an 8-5 advantage.
"Just playing in a state game is incredible, but scoring is pretty cool," Monks said. "I'm lucky to have been here three times and won it twice. I'm one really happy girl."
With 2:43 remaining, Clemetson hit the post on the Panthers' last, best scoring opportunity. Waynflete then ran the clock down and delivered the coup de grace with 7.7 seconds left when Libby (who had just been hit in the jaw) scored on a free position.
"It was back-and-forth," Libby said. "We weren't fully playing our game in the first half. We did in the second half. That's how we got that lead. We practice the stall a lot. We all have the basics of passing and catching down. That's pretty much all it is. That and getting open."
"We're playing teams that are so powerful that can score quickly," Connors added. "We had to slow it down. We work on it in practice. It became a stall because we couldn't find any opportunities. We wanted to put some goals in and slow it down and get fastbreaks if we could and keep it away from Courtney."
When the clock struck 7:01 p.m., the horn sounded and the Flyers were 9-5 victors, destiny's darlings and state champions once more.
"It was the perfect season," Monks said. "We were undefeated and I couldn't have asked for anything else. (NYA) put up a really big fight. They're an incredibly talented team. That's what we wanted for a state game. They have really athletic girls. I'm happy we got to play them in the states."
"This feels amazing," said Woodhouse. "This was our toughest game. We had to work so much harder the entire game. We knew it wouldn't be easy. The first game meant nothing. We had to stay calm, spread out and keep passing."
"We were pretty nervous," said Allen, who took more physical punishment than any player in the state this year. "We knew we had to come out strong. We pulled together really well. This feels incredible. We worked so hard to get here. We came into our own. We were pumped to be here and to win. We knew it would be a much closer game. We were so glad to pull it off."
"It's incredible," Libby added. "I'm so happy right now. It was an amazing season and it's great to cap it off with a championship."
Woodhouse led the offense with three goals and two assists. She also had a team-high five ground balls. Libby and Monks had two goals apiece. Allen and Cole (one assist) also scored. Timpson stopped nine shots.
The Flyers had a 21-20 edge in shots on goal and forced 20 turnovers (while committing 13), as their defense once again made the plays it had to make and was at its best in the second half.
"I feel the zone played really well," said senior defender Greer Millard. "We only let up five goals. They controlled draws and scored off them. Once the zone got settled, we were fine. We focused on Courtney some. She's such a threat, but they have others we were paying attention to."
NYA won 14 of the 16 draws and had a 27-18 advantage in ground balls. Dumont scored three times for the Panthers and led everyone with nine ground balls. Clemetson and Gerrity had the other goals and Moss had eight saves as NYA's season ended at 12-3.
"It was much different from the first game," said Panthers coach Julia Littlefield. "I thought we played better than we had all season. It's one of the best games I've seen. Waynflete's a tough team. They're very skilled. I couldn't have asked for a better day and a better way to go out. I'm really, really proud of them. We deserved to be here. We gave them a good game. I think their best competition was us today. I think we showed them we're right up there."
NYA plans to keep knocking at the door. The Panthers lose eight seniors, most notably Clemetson, Rachel Darby, Nicole Fuller, Gerrity and Moss, but have plenty of firepower returning.
"It's nice to be here two years in a row," Littlefield said. "We'll see them next year. We still have Courtney and Lilly."
There are no words
Waynflete also went undefeated and won state titles in 1998 and 2005 (its perfect season in 2006 ended with a loss to Yarmouth in the inaugural Class B Final), but this year's squad exceeded expectations and rallied around its closeness and love for the sport to reach the mountaintop.
"It's hard to go into a season with a target on our chest, but I think we owned that pressure collectively as a team," Monks said. "We have great seniors and a group of great girls who connect really well. We were happy to play two hours a day together. We all love lacrosse and that made for a fun, athletic team."
"I think it's our love for lacrosse and each other," Libby said. "We wanted to win so much for Cathie too. It's her 10th championship. We're so dedicated to lacrosse and it led us to this place."
"It's amazing," said Millard. "I had no idea that the season would go as well as it did. It went beautifully. To be this strong we had no idea. I think this is the closest team I've ever been on. We were better friends than any team we've ever had. We support each other and work hard in practice. We've come a long way. We thrive on the pressure, I think. We have a group of really competitive girls who want to win every year. This feeling never gets old. The motivation is always there."
"We worked hard every practice and every game," said Woodhouse. "We lost so many people from last year. All the new kids on the team stepped up so much. We knew we had to work so much harder and we did."
"I had no idea we'd be this good," added Timpson. "I'd never played goalie in any sport before. It went so well. I couldn't be happier. I think we've always had a reputation for being a close-knit team. I think we definitely followed through."
Connors, as usual, was emotional and effusive when describing her team.
"They're really special and they really wanted it," she said. "They have great skill, but they're really special. The seniors had a great run. They were a special group."
Can they do it again in 2010?
Waynflete loses Maddie Berrang, Cole, Libby, Millard and Monks to graduation, but will once again wear the mantle of favorite next spring.
The Flyers who are coming back are ready to make another run.
"We're returning a lot, but we have some big shoes to fill," Connors said.
"We look forward to next season," Woodhouse said. "We'll try our hardest to keep it up."
"I think everyone should watch out for Waynflete next year," Allen added. "We're losing a lot, but we lost a lot last year. Don't ever underestimate us."

Court proceedings began yesterday for the 11 SUNY Geneseo students that were charged with hazing and unlawfully dealing with a child after an alleged hazing incident that took over the Labor Day weekend.
Everyone entered not guilty pleas and the Judge set a court date for November 13th.
The charges come after a student was hospitalized when she was forced to drink for several hours. Police say the other underage students, one as young as 17 at the time, were allegedly blindfolded, handcuffed, and ordered to drink as part of initiation for the women's volleyball team.
A spokesperson said the college has received documents to proceed with disciplinary action for those involved but there's no word yet if that will include suspension
