This Is Madness
A game based on 300 has no excuse not to kick ass. Just picture yourself leading 300 Greeks (that's 1,800 abs) against the Persian empire's massive armies, led by the evil, pierced, and preening King Xerxes. Since your Spartans are the deadliest soldiers in the world, the Persians' only chance is to smother you with sheer numbers -- so every level should force you to cut a bloody swath through hordes of invaders, taking on 5, 10, even 20 at a time, doing as much damage as possible to back them off for another day.
Throw in surround sound and a stylized look to match the film -- which most critics compared to a video game anyway-- and you'd have a pretty sweet game. So you'd be forgiven if you saw 300: March to Glory in the store and said to yourself: "Self, there's no way they could screw up 300!" and bought it on the spot.
Well, remember what Mom said happens when you ass-u-me?
Against all odds, Warner Bros. Interactive managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. March to Glory is so utterly bad, you'd almost think the developers meant it to be awful. How else to explain the bungling of the biggest no-brainer movie-to-game conversion in history?
It's hard to say where to begin, but what's most notable is how the game thumbs its nose at your expectations every step of the way. For example: After watching 300, you'd expect to see, you know . . . 300 Spartans (not to mention a few million Persians). That is the title, after all. Well, not so fast -- the PSP isn't cut out to draw armies of thousands. The endless Persian hordes now respectfully invade four at a time, and your 300 Spartans now number about 2.
Or one, if you don't count yourself.
After watching 300, you'd expect balls-to-the-wall action -- a whirlwind of swords, spears, and arrows, with no shortage of severed heads pinwheeling through the air. There's some of that (as much as can be expected from a four-on-two scuffle), but you also get some sneaking missions. Yes, the same King Leonidas who kicked ambassadors into wells and screamed about dining in hell in the movie now tiptoes past sleeping guards . . . which prompts the question: Did the developers even see the movie?
None of this would matter anyway, if the game were fun -- but it's not. In fact, it's so tedious, you start wishing the Persians would just take over, pierce everyone's nipples, and be done with it. Leonidas runs and fights like he's underwater, and there's no reason to use anything but an effective three-hit attack you learn in the first level -- which makes the fighting mind-numbingly repetitive.
The only part that's even mildly amusing is when you get to slaughter Xerxes' harem-cum-freakshow. When a two-minute sequence of laying waste midget tumblers and lesbian strippers is the high point of your adventure, something's wrong.
This is the sort of game that should have been on the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360, which could manage massive armies and faster game play. Instead, it feels like a slapdash budget title. If you're craving swordplay on your PSP, try the Sega Genesis Collection, which sports the hack-and-slash classic Golden Axe -- along with 27 other games, all for the same price.

Why Malaria
Standing up to a killer.
It's the greatest killer disease in human history – but we can do something about it. We have the tools to fight it!
The culprits aren't particularly ferocious or terrifying. In fact, you need a microscope to even see them. But tiny malaria parasites, transmitted through the bites of infected mosquitoes, are thought to have killed half the number of people that have ever lived. Pretty scary, isn't it?
Malaria's vice-like grip on the continent of Africa, where 90% of malaria deaths occur, makes it one of the greatest causes of poverty in the world. And yet, it costs just £1, less than the price of your morning coffee, to save the life of a child with malaria.
Malaria kills a child every minute
What we're up against
Half the world's population (3.2 billion) is at risk from malaria, with expectant mums and children under five particularly vulnerable.
How we fight it
We have the tools to prevent and treat malaria, and the best scientific and research brains to help us be the generation to make malaria no more.
Why we can't stop now
The world has halved global deaths from malaria since 2000, saving 4.3 million lives. The finish line is within our reach - we can actually beat this!
"My experience with Irene has made me especially thankful for Malaria No More UK's support for the distribution of mosquito nets to help prevent malaria"

An amazing thing happens to boat owners at the Lake Tahoe Concours d'Elegance event every year: The value of wooden boats go up if they win the competition.
The owners don't have to add any fancy upgrades; just a piece of paper adds to the boat's monetary worth.
"It goes up because it's such a prestigious show," said Katie Matheus, event manager for Liquid Blue Events. "It's one of the largest wooden boat events in the country. It's such a unique event." ...

From Q3 report on Oct. 11th, 2012:
"During the third fiscal quarter of 2012, NOVAGOLD continued to work on investigating opportunities to sell all or part of its 50% interest in Galore Creek, jointly and equally owned by NOVAGOLD and Teck Resources Limited. Discussions with several parties are ongoing and the timeline of the sales process has indeed been extended by a quarter to the first quarter 2013 due to the arrival of additional entrants into the process. If an attractive offer is made, we are prepared to sell our share of the asset. If the Company does not get an offer which is reflective of Galore Creek's inherent and, in our view, rising value, NOVAGOLD will not sell its interest ......"

Very much an experiment with light painting. A fairly straight forward composition, a new prop, that I thought would be a good subject for such treatment.
Not for those easily bored takes ages to build up the light layers. Still some way to go but I think I'm getting there.

A beautiful composition full of good content...
Nominating Constructive Critique
Some interesting props, well laid out Nick.
Slight niggle of me is the white round object in the top row seems to take the eye perhaps needs to be darkened a little
Nominating Constructive Critique
Your right Nick !,its a good subject and perfect for light painting ,its a long process i know, and i can see how you can really use the light .Good work mate
Nominating Constructive Critique
Really like the props Nick,some great textures in there.
I have to agree with Rich though,the white round thing just looks out of context a little & is so plain that it ( for me ) adds nothing to either the composition or the texture balance. Everything just seems a wee bit clumped up in the middle of the frame,I think I would have liked to have seen the larger 'can' off a little more to the LHS or even in the space inside the box.
A good technique Nick,lots of work here.Maybe a bash with HDR on these props would have been beneficial to really pop those metallic textures too..just a thought.
Nominating Constructive Critique
Thanks everyone. And yes the light grey pot is what caused me problems.
It was very much an experiment - for a more serious project, so I wanted to practice the skills. Janet as you know sometimes I do use HDR, but I just wanted to try something new. All the items arrived in the box - which I've bought for another project.

Plant some wallflower plug plants in the garden for some spring colour
Erysimum cheiri
Wallflowers come in a range of colours – choose from yellows, oranges, reds, purples and white.
Wallflowers like to grow in well-drained soil in lots of sun.
Wallflower seeds can be sown in the summer but wallflower plug plants (baby plants) can be planted in the garden in November.

The Chancellor, George Osborne, confirmed in the Summer Budget on the 8 July 2015 an increase of 3.5%, taking the standard rate of IPT from 6% to 9.5%. The increase takes effect from 1 November 2015.
What is IPT?
IPT is a Government applied tax on general insurance premiums. Just as you pay VAT on regular goods, you pay IPT on insurance. There are two rates:
To find out more visit: https://www.gov.uk/guidance
What does this change mean to you?
IPT is automatically included in the quote that you receive for your insurance. From 1 November 2015, all New Business, Mid-term Adjustments and Renewals will have a 9.5% IPT rate applied, i.e.
How will this affect your premium?
Insurance quotes are based on many different rating factors, such as age, geographical location, and occupation as well as any discounts that you may be entitled to like no claims discount on your car insurance. IPT at the increased rate will be applied to all quotes, adjustments and renewal premiums where cover starts on or after the 1 November.
If you have an email address, we'll automatically send your policy documents to your secure online account so that you can save, email or print them. You'll be able to set up access to your online account using a username/email address and a password after you buy your car insurance.If you have requested paper policy documents they should arrive with you within 7-10 working days.
Our comprehensive car insurance includes many standard benefits – you can read more about what is included as standard in our policy booklet. You can further tailor your insurance by adding optional covers including legal cover, personal accident cover, excess protect cover, hire car cover, key care cover and RAC breakdown cover and protected no-claims discount.
Your policy cover will normally run for 12 months unless you or we choose to cancel.
An insurance excess is the first part of each and every claim that you are required to pay. Your excess may vary depending on the type of claim, the insured vehicle, the driver or if your policy carries a voluntary excess in addition to any compulsory excess. Excesses for each driver will be shown on your statement of insurance.
With a Zurich car insurance policy your car is covered if you use it in European Union countries, as well as, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and, as long as your visit is not for more than four days (up to a total of 14 days within any one period of insurance).If after four days your vehicle does not return to the United Kingdom (unless we have agreed to extend cover in writing), cover will be limited to the minimum legal requirement to use your car in that country. The minimum requirements of United Kingdom law will apply if these are higher than those of the country you are using your car in. If you require cover for periods of more than four days or for a total period exceeding 14 days, please contact us on 0800 408 0991 for a quotation.
To report a claim in the United Kingdom please call us on 0800 026 1777, lines are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Zurich will normally use a network of approved repairers to replace or repair your car or any part of it. Following an accident, you must use a supplier that has been agreed by us before your car is repaired, otherwise we may not pay.If you choose not to use a one of our approved repairers, we will increase your compulsory excess by £100.
If your car is damaged in an accident, we will advise you of the nearest approved repairer who will offer you a courtesy car while your car is being repaired. This includes a free collection and delivery service. All courtesy cars are Group A vehicles (a small hatchback) with a manual gearbox and are available only in the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man.

Contributed by: politeintruder
I saw a Q&A with director Phil Joanu after a screening of Three O'Clock High at the New Beverly cinema in LA and he explained that Spielberg, who discovered him and was mentoring him, was under the impression Joanu was making a Karate Kid type Film; a very commercial teen movie and instead when Joanu showed the first cut to Speilberg, Speilberg said "what happened to Karate Kid? You made a Scorsese Film!"

My letter is addressed to the people of Muncie, natives and transplants.
Recently, I had an encouraging talk with Mayor Dennis Tyler. We discussed the outrageous increase in our sanitary sewer bills. He told me he is working on reducing the bills. I do believe he will "get 'er done."
To the sanitary board members: Did it ever occur to you that the increase would not only affect your bills but, most importantly, the burden is felt most by seniors, lower income people and the under-privileged residents of Muncie? What were you thinking?
I also think Mayor Tyler will improve the poor state our streets are in. That alone will be a large and expensive task, even by planning it out in segments long term. Streets have been ignored too long by previous mayors of Muncie.
Mayor Tyler reminds me of my father who was also a mayor in Indiana. Mayor Ralph West of Winchester was the first Democrat ever elected in Winchester's history and was elected to four, four-year terms (16 years) and was considered the best.
I strongly believe Dennis Tyler is on course to be the best mayor Muncie has ever had, just like my dad. You go, Dennis!

Sukenick, Ronald, Chicago Review
During the 1970s, Chicago Review published many writers who experimented with chronology, characterization, and the nature of narrative; Jonathan Baumbach, Raymond Federman, John Mella, and Gilbert Sorrentino were among those who contributed "metafiction" or "superfiction" to the magazine. The Winter 1972 issue featured an excerpt from Ronald Sukenick's forthcoming novel, Out, along with an interview with the author and an essay discussing his work by Jerome Klinkowitz. Sukenick, already the author of the experimental novel, Up (1968), and of a collection of short fiction, The Death of the Novel (1969), explained the attraction of self-reflexive narration in the interview with Joe David Bellamy:
My whole idea about fiction is that it's a normal, if I may use the word, epistemological procedure; that is, it is at the very center of everybody all the time at any period; and you don't have to search for psychological reasons, although they may be there too. But I think the epistemological ones are far more anterior. It's a way of making up the world and making sense of it.
Hi. Everything up to here has been a novel. My feeling about it so far is it's serious. But it's going to get even more serious that's also my feeling about myself. What a coincidence. Anyway that's my feeling about it on this page in any case it's
my attempt to sort out my feelings about certain things that have been happening to me lately like Pixie for example I can't get her off my mind. Is she really a friend of Empty Fox I should have asked him. Also what's the meaning of the 7-3-10
numerological scheme that runs through the book and of the code message near the beginning what about the plot is it all part of a plot. If I knew that I'd probably know what's going to happen next which I don't either in my novel or in my life.
Except sometimes maybe like Ali Buba's warning about head wounds I wrote that six months before the garage door came down on my head. But this is a subject I don't like thinking about too eerie. All I know is I'm getting messages I don't know
where they come from or who else gets them it's a mystery to me I just pass it on and hope it comes together this is a message. Part of the message is get a road map all these places are real even the more unlikely ones I've traveled among them slept in
their campsites their motels form is when you look back and see your footprints in the sand. Meaning disintegrates connection proliferates what does that mean. Red Desert for example that's where Roland Sycamore is staying now Roland Sycamore you
don't know this yet peeled off from the Sukenick character after the karate fight and the latter is no longer a character at all but the real me if that's possible I'm getting out of this novel. When you fly too far you don't come back. Red Desert is in
South Central Wyoming just a fraction of a mile to the north of the Continental Divide. To the north of the Continental Divide that's right because Red Desert is at the inner edge of a huge absence in the middle of the country surrounded by peaks eight
to ten thousand feet high which drains neither east nor west but into itself known as the Great Divide Basin and do you know what's inside this prodigy absolutely nothing desert except for a drainhole in the middle emptying into the void. So here we are
at the source. Omphalos. Roland alone with his body in his room at The New Vacancy Motel thinking about the dream he just had the dream is about Pixie he doesn't know that yet. The dream is about getting mugged the message says.
The dream is about getting mugged I write. On the Lower East Side late at night it says. On the Lower East Side late at night I write. Somebody comes up behind Roland and puts a knife to
his throat maybe it's Jojo.
Somebody comes up behind Roland and puts a knife to
his throat I think it is Jojo.
Hand over your wallet or you're dead says Jojo this is
on a dark sidestreet hand over your wallet or you're dead says Jojo this is on a dark sidestreet about two AM noone around Roland tries an elbow to Jojo's ribs the blade edge saws across his adam's apple okay okay anything says Roland I should kill
you for that says Jojo no wallet in pocket says Roland he can feel blood running down the front of his neck get it out quick and don't do nothing sudden Roland fishes out his wallet remembers a story about a girl held up at gunpoint handing over
her money then getting shot anyway Jojo grabs the wallet at that moment Roland smashes his fist up against the wrist of Jojo's knife hand whiffs slams Jojo's temple with his elbow kicks him in the balls picks up the wallet and knife helps Jojo to
his feet for some dreadful reason Roland has to help Jojo to the Avenue he puts Jojo's arm around his neck half drags half walks him down the street Jojo all the while muttering I'm gonna getchew man gonna cutchew up gimme back my knife you
cocksuckuh gonna get my friends gimme it now maybe I letchew alone gonna kill you cocksuckuh maybe this week maybe next week I getchew you fucking cocksuckuh when they reach the Avenue Jojo won't let Roland go Roland heads for his
building you gonna take me up to your place you mothafuck I'm gonna kill you cocksuckinmothafuckuh two men are talking in the vestibule Roland knows one of them help he won't let go says Roland use that knife says the man it says. …

And then there are the episodes where Timmy somehow gets entangled in Fairy World politics.Needless to say, even Timmy's more sensible wishes are twisted to gigantic extremes and backfire horribly, forcing Timmy to hit the ResetButton and accept [[HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood his horrible life]].The show is currently Nickelodeon's second longest running franchise, and notably one of the channel's most successful shows that has not been picked up for a [[TheMovie theatrical movie]]. One was planned by ParamountPictures along with [[{{Nickelodeon}} Nickelodeon Movies]], but was dropped due to a management change.

Hello my friends!
I hope you're not bored to see these burnt orange tights again :)) Yes, l love them very much! This week l brought a pair of brick red tights too and l can't wait to post them here.
Let see… There are many thrift finds here as always like these cute purse and belt and lucky H&M pieces. I wore this skirt very often last summer too. It's soft and playful with its cute pocket details.
The cardigan, necklace and bow flats are old. Somehow l never posted my flats and l almost forgot about them. Maybe l just love my oxfords more and more :))
What l love the most about this outfit? I guess it's the warm earthy colors combination :D It's so good for fall and somehow burnt orange reminds me of Halloween!
Hope you'll like this too!! Take care!<3

quantum orbits of the planets. conceptual computer artwork showing the planets of the solar system on a model of atomic orbitals. this represents the theory that the orbits of the planets were determined by similar physical principles to those governing the orbits of electrons. electrons can only occupy distinct energy levels around an atom, rather than having the capability to be anywhere. these quantum levels are determined by the electron's energy. the theory that similar effects occur at the solar system scale is controversial and not widely accepted, as the orbits can be explained by well-understood gravitational theory.

So I have a console that had 0021, I got a heatgun and reflowed it. Then I put the bolts on the back and it went back to error code 0020 so I though, "Ok no big deal just mess with the tightness for a while." Well, after an hour of screwing with those bolts I decided to just pull an xclamp, and put it on instead of the bolts. I got it all set and it still flashed 0020. Then I restarted it and it flashed 0001. Restarted again and 0020. I played around with the tightness of the pegs on the xclamp, but with no success.
Finally I dialed it in right and started it up. It flashed green lights then I heard a POP and something started smoking. I restarted and got 0001. i can't find anything though that blew. All the capacitors and other "cans" on the mobo are in good shape. Exactly what happened?

Something on your board blew. I'd guess it's a capacitor, as those are typically what fail after a bad heat gun job.
Are you sure you're not missing something? Extensive pics would be helpful. (I'm talking good, clear, high-res pics, not blurry crap.)

I second a blown capacitor. They are the only thing on a motherboard that would "pop".

THE FOURTH GREAT AWAKENING gave us a wakeup call. It called Americans to witness a new generation of people struggling on the road to the middle class, worthy people acquiring for themselves through enthusiastic Protestantism, an education, and a rigid regard for rules the earnest culture of respectability that beckons like a shining city on a hill to those who struggle in the shanties and the slums of the industrial city. The proud elitists who banished enthusiastic Christianity beyond the Pale at the beginning of the twentieth century and confidently ordered its tombstone have been humbled by humble folk. It is not yet time to retire the road to the middle class, if indeed it will ever be so. Instead, the proud elites better understand that ordinary folk want to keep the road to the middle class in good repair and open to all. For when the ordinary people call for a return back to basics, they are merely calling for a return to the three major achievements [of the western tradition]... the Greek theory of knowledge, the Hebrew doctrine of salvation, and Roman law and political theory. (Gebser 1984, p 74)
The Spiral Dynamics perspective tells us where the elitists went wrong. The green communitarians who dominated the politics of the United States for most of the twentieth century thought that the red proletarians could be converted into peaceable citizens of an industrial society purely through material assistance. The nuclear family, fathers, discipline, and belief in Jesus Christ, they knew, were artifacts of a superstitious Protestant ethic that no longer applied in modern society. Nor was the stern schoolmarm of the early public school movement relevant to modern conditions. Children could direct their own education so long as they possessed a sufficient sense of positive self-esteem. But many Americans felt that this was all wrong. From the bottom, ex-rednecks like Mary Johnston organized their lives around a faith in Jesus Christ and a passion for traditional education and ex-homeboys like Jesse Lee Peterson grew from rage to responsibility, and, from the top, conservative writers and policy analysts showed why these ordinary people were right and the experts were wrong. Even liberals like Robert William Fogel realized that something had gone wrong with the egalitarian dream.
What these people understood was that there is no shortcut on the road to the middle class. For the redneck from Appalachia, for the roistering Irishman, for the inner-city homeboy, the road to the middle class is the uphill road out of rage and victimhood to competence and responsibility. It cannot be skipped over or marginalized. It isnt a mere cultural artifact of western hegemony. Its the next step beyond the culture of power and impulse, of rage and victimization.
The idea that that religion, education, mutual aid, and the rule of law pave the road to the middle class has been made to seem old fashioned, or even reactionary. It is not. The idea is timeless, and as American as apple pie. It shines through the story of every immigrant who ever went through Ellis Island, for it was the faith that sustained the huddled masses that came to America, yearning to breathe free. It was the faith that sustained Jane Addams and Hull-House. It informs Michael Barones The New Americans, an essay that showed how powerfully the American ethos works on each immigrant surge, welcoming them, yet powerfully molding and adapting them to the ways of the American family.
In the early twenty-first century, Americans are again worried about immigration. They worry, as they did at the turn of the twentieth century, that the great tide of immigration will turn out to be a tsunami that wipes out the American Way. Michael Barone reminds us that the immigrants that came to America around 1900 and that the better classes of the time worried aboutthe Jews, the Italians, and the Irishall managed to succeed in adapting to life in the city, and all today live squarely in the mainstream of American life and culture. What then, Barone asks, of the immigrant communities of 2000: the Asians, the Hispanics, and the blacks about whom the professional worrying classes worry today? Will they repeat the success of their predecessors, or not?
He compares the immigrants at the turn of the twentieth century with the immigrants struggling to make it at the turn of the twenty-first century. He finds the Jews of 1900 similar to the Asians of 2000. Both groups came to the United States with a well-developed tradition of education. He finds the Italians of 1900 similar to the Hispanics of 2000. Both groups tend to mistrust government and have developed strong family bonds to provide the social cohesion that government in their homelands had failed to provide. Finally, he notes the similarity between the Irish and the blacks. Both groups had suffered grievous oppression in their homelands, in rack-rented Ireland and the slaveholding South. And both groups have faced a hard struggle to adapt to the culture of the city, casting off only with difficulty the culture of victimhood and violence and accepting the culture of education and law.
A century ago, when the Jews of Eastern Europe arrived in New York and piled into the teeming slum of the Lower East Side, they were thought to be unintelligent and inferior. But Jews were people of the book. They already had a high level of literacy, encouraged by a rabbinical Judaism that encouraged literacy and Torah study. The core of rabbinical Judaism is the idea of living by the Torah (literally, the law). Supercharged by this culture, the Jews surged within a generation into eastern colleges at such a rate that their administrations, then as now devoted to quotas, limited the number of Jews to be admitted. In the 1990s, similar quotas were limiting the number of Asian-Americans admitted to the University of California at Berkeley. Most Asians, like the Jews, are people of the book. Both Jews and Asians have benefited from dense undergrowth of self-help and mutual-aid organizations, including most critically those that loan startup capital to people opening new businesses.
When the Irish began to immigrate to the United States after the disastrous potato famines of the 1840s, they were not yet people of the book; they were people of oppression. So miserable were the Irish in the nineteenth century that some contemporary commentators reported that the rack-rented tenant farmer in Ireland was worse off than the African slave in the American South. Nor were they people of the law. The Irish had been pummeled by oppressive British power for centuries, and by the 1840s land ownership had been changed by wholesale confiscation several times since the punitive expedition conducted by Cromwell two hundred years before. (Bethell 1998 p254) When they came to the United States, they knew only suffering from unfair laws. Education, to these Catholics, was indoctrination in the oppressors Anglicanism. Suffering from this dual disability, the Irish were slow to prosper in the United States, and looked to politics and ethnic solidarity to raise them up rather than law and education.
The variation between the Jewish experience and the Irish experience in America shows the grain of truth in the Marxist narrative. Oppression does make a difference. But light-to-moderate oppression is an obstacle, not a barrier. Given a modicum of opportunity, every American immigrant group has worked its way to success in the great American mainstream. Jews succeeded against the Jewish quota in the universities and against anti-Semitism in the corporate suites. The Irish succeeded against Irish Need Not Apply hiring discrimination and against a public school system inaugurated, in part, to cure them of their Catholicism. African Americans, most worthily, succeeded in building competence and respectability during a century of Jim Crow in the South and frank discrimination in the North. All immigrant groups succeeded in working into the American mainstream, and all managed to succeed against discrimination and stereotyping. But some immigrant groups did better than others. Jews and Asians, the people of the book, did better than Italians and Hispanics, people of the family. And Italians and Hispanics did better than Irish and blacks, the children of oppression, who were actively prevented by their British and Southern masters from acquiring education and the experience of living under law rather than the knout.

The incentive that impels a man to act is always some uneasiness...
But to make a man act [he must have]
the expectation that purposeful behavior has the power to remove
or at least to alleviate the felt uneasiness.
Ludwig von Mises, Human Action
But I saw a man yesterday who knows a fellow who had it from a chappie
that said that Urquhart had been dipping himself a bit recklessly off the deep end.
Freddy Arbuthnot
Dorothy L. Sayers, Strong Poison
At first, we thought [the power of the West] was because you had more powerful guns than we had. Then we thought it was because you had the best political system. Next we focused on your economic system. But in the past twenty years, we have realized that the heart of your culture is your religion: Christianity.
David Aikman, Jesus in Beijing
[In the] higher Christian churches... they saunter through the liturgy like Mohawks along a string of scaffolding who have long since forgotten their danger. If God were to blast such a service to bits, the congregation would be, I believe, genuinely shocked. But in the low churches you expect it every minute.
Annie Dillard, Holy the Firm
Civil Societya complex welter of intermediate institutions, including businesses, voluntary associations, educational institutions, clubs, unions, media, charities, and churchesbuilds, in turn, on the family, the primary instrument by which people are socialized into their culture and given the skills that allow them to live in broader society and through which the values and knowledge of that society are transmitted across the generations.
Francis Fukuyama, Trust
In England there were always two sharply opposed middle classes, the academic middle class and the commercial middle class. In the nineteenth century, the academic middle class won the battle for power and status... Then came the triumph of Margaret Thatcher... The academics lost their power and prestige and... have been gloomy ever since.
Freeman Dyson, The Scientist as Rebel
Conservatism is the philosophy of society. Its ethic is fraternity and its characteristic is authority the non-coercive social persuasion which operates in a family or a community. It says we should....
Danny Kruger, On Fraternity
What distinguishes true Conservatism from the rest, and from the Blair project, is the belief in more personal freedom and more market freedom, along with less state intervention... The true Third Way is the Holy Grail of Tory politics today - compassion and community without compulsion.
Minette Marrin, The Daily Telegraph
When we received Christ, Phil added, all of a sudden we now had a rule book to go by, and when we had problems the preacher was right there to give us the answers.
James M. Ault, Jr., Spirit and Flesh
I mean three systems in one: a predominantly market economy; a polity respectful of the rights of the individual to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; and a system of cultural institutions moved by ideals of liberty and justice for all.
In short, three dynamic and converging systems functioning as one: a democratic polity, an economy based on markets and incentives, and a moral-cultural system which is plural and, in the largest sense, liberal.
Michael Novak, The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism
