[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. This is the beginning of wisdom. Annie Dillard, Holy the Firm
THE CONVENTIONAL WISDOM among western cultural elites is that God is dead and we are well rid of him. Who, after all would want to relive all those religious wars and suffer again under the merciless rule of the Spanish Inquisition? No, whatever superstitions may have warped mens minds in the past, the world is clearly moving away from God and towards a secular future. In God is Dead: Secularization in the West, British sociology professor Steve Bruce interpreted the modern era as a normal process of secularization from the enthusiasm of the Protestant reformation, a society based on egalitarianism and individualism naturally evolved out of a society much more preoccupied with supernatural beliefs and practices.
In the United States, things look a little different. According to Robert William Fogel the United States of America is in the midst of a Fourth Great Awakening. The revival in religious activity that began in the 1950s with preachers like Billy Graham has blossomed into a great movement of religious awakening, one that ranks with the Great Awakenings of the eighteenth century. But this Awakening has not merely been a purely religious phenomenon; it has spilled over into politics and into the so-called culture war. The enthusiastic Christians enrolled into the religious awakening have spilled over into politics and become part of the base of the Republican Party. According to the theories of Fogel and McLoughlin, this is not surprising, but part of a familiar political-religious cycle in American life. Yet many people have been taken by surprise, for conventional wisdom maintains that the capitalist West is on a trend of irreversible secularization. Why should the United States have experienced this upsurge in religious enthusiasm? And why should it have been so clearly a Protestant phenomenon, of simple people attracted to a simple faith reduced to the essentials of Bible study and faith in Jesus Christ?
Many Americans are not just surprised by the rise in religious enthusiasm: they are dismayed. Millions of Americans are deeply suspicious of the power of religion. They echo the psychologist who wrote that Americans face a continuing struggle to move from a Puritan, pioneer, outlaw heritage of fighting for basic survival needs... to a civilization that is nonviolent, fair, and respectful of others. For such people, the task before the United States is to cleanse society of rigid views of gender, parenting and punishment that prevent the resocialization of the nation to the more advanced ideas of community and caring. They wonder how anyone can continue to believe in the antiquated Protestant ethic that might have had some relevance in the nineteenth century, but hardly in the global community at the turn of the twenty-first century. We shall analyze this worldview in later chapters.
The idea that religious faith is outmoded is not, of course, a new idea. If Time magazine stumbled onto the Death of God in the 1960s, keener minds had experienced it earlier. Provoked by Hume and Kant and the investigations of German philologists into the authorship of the Bible, the generation of Carlyle and Emerson had already lost their faith in the 1840s. After the hammer blows of Lyalls Principles of Geology and Darwins Origin of Species, it was left to Nietzsche in the closing decades of the nineteenth century to inaugurate an era of atheist orthodoxy, even atheist respectability, and to try to imagine a creative life beyond the good and evil of Christianity. At the end of the twentieth century, educated people understand that religion has been dying for 200 years. Back in the old days of superstition the churches were full to bursting with people terrified of Gods wrath. But now people take a more sanguine view of religion and are no longer frightened by fire and brimstone and the fake emotion of the sawdust trail. They are no longer persuaded that the world is a battleground between God and Satan, between Good and Evil. No longer paralyzed by the fear of God, society has relaxed its religious enthusiasm, and people have become more secular in their outlook.
The only trouble is that the educated people are wrong. Religion is not dying out, at least, not in the United States. It is growing, and has been for 200 years. Back in 1776, according to sociologist Rodney Stark, only about 15 percent of Americans were religious adherents. Two hundred years later, in 1980, 62 percent belonged to a church. The present outburst of religious enthusiasm is not surprising or unusual. It is merely a wave in a continually upward rising tide.
But what about the well-known fact that churches are becoming more secular? How does that square with evidence that more and more people identify with a church? Stark explains this with a theory of secularization and renewal. There is no doubt that churches do become more secular with time. The fierce Puritan sects of the seventeenth century became in time rigid Calvinist churchesPresbyterian and Congregationalwith well-paid, well-educated ministers. And in the twentieth century, they became mainline churches: highly secularized, worldly organizations retaining barely a whisper of their former rantings. The Methodist church that grew from nothing in 1750 to several millions at its peak in 1850 became in time the mainline United Methodist church, with declining membership and weakly propagated doctrine. But swirling against this ebb tide of secularization is a flood of revival and renewal. New sects are forever splitting off from mature churches in rebellion against the secularization of the mother church, and committing themselves to return to a pure religion uncontaminated by secularization. Those churches that do not decline are those that implement a deliberate policy of revival and renewal. And new cults are being formed all the time. The evidence is all around for those with eyes to see.
In the aftermath of the key South Carolina presidential primary of February 9, 2000 in which candidate George W. Bush salvaged his campaign for president with a decisive victory over John McCain, The New Republic published an article by Hanna Rosin, Religion Editor of the Washington Post. Her piece, Upwardly Mobile, used an interview with church volunteer Mary Johnston to try to capture the essence of the religious right, the controversial group of evangelical conservative Christians that formed a key part of the Republican party base in 2000. It was the overwhelming support from voters like Mary Johnston that had made Bush the winner.
Mary Johnson lived in Rock Hill, South Carolina, a striver suburb just across the state line from Charlotte, North Carolina. She had voted for George W. Bush out of class envy, wrote Rosin. She wanted to give her children all the opportunities he had. We dont have the money the Bushes had, but Ill make sure they go to the best schools, first grade to college.

[To make] of each individual member of the army a soldier who, in character, capability, and knowledge, is self-reliant, self-confident, dedicated, and joyful in taking responsibility [verantwortungsfreudig] as a man and a soldier. — Gen. Hans von Seeckt

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
[W]hen I asked a liberal longtime editor I know with a mainstream [publishing] house for a candid, shorthand version of the assumptions she and her colleagues make about conservatives, she didn't hesitate. Racist, sexist, homophobic, anti-choice fascists, she offered, smiling but meaning it.
Harry Stein, I Can't Believe I'm Sitting Next to a Republican
[T]he Liberal, and still more the subspecies Radical... more than any other in these latter days seems under the impression that so long as he has a good end in view he is warranted in exercising over men all the coercion he is able[.]
Herbert Spencer, The Man Versus the State
These emerge out of long-standing moral notions of freedom, benevolence, and the affirmation of ordinary life... I have been sketching a schematic map... [of] the moral sources [of these notions]... the original theistic grounding for these standards... a naturalism of disengaged reason, which in our day takes scientistic forms, and a third family of views which finds its sources in Romantic expressivism, or in one of the modernist successor visions.
Charles Taylor, Sources of the Self
Families helped each other putting up homes and barns. Together, they built churches, schools, and common civic buildings. They collaborated to build roads and bridges. They took pride in being free persons, independent, and self-reliant; but the texture of their lives was cooperative and fraternal.
Michael Novak, The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism
For [the left] there is only the state and the individual, nothing in between. No family to rely on, no friend to depend on, no community to call on. No neighbourhood to grow in, no faith to share in, no charities to work in. No-one but the Minister, nowhere but Whitehall, no such thing as society - just them, and their laws, and their rules, and their arrogance.
David Cameron, Conference Speech 2008
As far as the Catholic Church is concerned, the principal focus of her interventions in the public arena is the protection and promotion of the dignity of the person, and she is thereby consciously drawing particular attention to principles which are not negotiable...
[1.] protection of life in all its stages, from the first moment of conception until natural death; [2.] recognition and promotion of the natural structure of the family... [3.] the protection of the right of parents to educate their children.
Pope Benedict XVI, Speech to European Peoples Party, 2006
No lesson seems to be so deeply inculcated by the experience of life as that you should never trust experts. If you believe doctors, nothing is wholesome: if you believe the theologians, nothing is innocent: if you believe the soldiers, nothing is safe. They all require their strong wine diluted by a very large admixture of insipid common sense.

Drake endured an emotional meeting with his mentor Lil Wayne in jail last week when the incarcerated rapper sat him down for a serious chat to warn him not to make the same mistakes he had.
RELATED: See more pics of Lil Wayne
The "Lollipop" hitmaker signed Drake to his Young Money record label last year, but in March (10) Lil Wayne was sentenced to 12 months behind bars on weapons possession charges.
Drake admits it was hard seeing his mentor locked up, and reveals that during their talk Wayne pleaded with him to stay out of "trouble."
RELATED: Lil Wayne assigned to suicide watch duty in jail
He tells MTV News, "He kept looking to the window ... I was like, 'Why does he keep staring through the window? There's nothing out there.' To him, there's a whole world moving out there that he hasn't seen for so long ..."
"He told me something I never thought I'd hear him say, which was, 'You're the ultimate artist. You're better than me. You don't have the tattoos, you don't cause any trouble. People like you.' He was like, basically, 'Look at me and look at you.'"
RELATED: Lil Wayne & more Big Easy celebs
"(He once said), 'Whatever, man, whatever you do, do not get no tattoos never in your life (sic). They gonna think you got it because you came around me.' He said the same thing to me (during the prison visit): 'Don't change yourself, please. You got it. I've never met a young dude that has it figured out, but you got it. Don't mess it up. Just be you. Sing! Rap! Be you. Don't stop smiling.' That's what he said."

Birchbox's customers basically pay to be surprised by a delivery of monthly beauty product samples. There's everything from simple moisturizers to lipstick "tattoos" in those little brown boxes, so we'd imagine Birchbox girls would be into crazy nail art, neon manicures and metallic polishes, too.
But for the company's latest nail polish color contest, its Facebook fans voted in favor of the reds, pinks and corals at left. Chosen from a pool of twelve color mood boards created by Birchbox's favorite beauty bloggers, the winning three shades are nothing if not classic. The "Gatsby Green" and "Violet Veil" collages looked pretty good to us, but the crowd favorites were clearly those colors that coordinate with Flintstones popsicles.
As a prize, Zoya made the top three colors, "Coraline," "Kate" and "Belle," designed by bloggers Eleventh Gorgeous, The Small Things and Capitol Hill Style, respectively, to be sold as a set on Birchbox.com starting Monday, April 23 for $22. (There's no Birchbox membership needed to buy the set, although, while you're on there, why not get a membership for yourself and for your dude?)

Some are saying we conservatives should move to the left if we want to win elections, but that is not an option. I would rather see Republicans lose every election than become "light" Democrats.
Some of us still believe we will have to answer to a higher power -- namely God -- and to posterity, so we will not embrace abortion, amnesty, socialized medicine and the emasculation of our military in order to pay for illegal alien entitlements and other freebies. The liberal media and our education system have done a great job making half of our citizens think America is the problem. It will take a crash to make them understand the truth.

Swerving motorist charged with DUI
A Tallahaasse man was charged the evening of November 10 with drunk driving on Interstate 10 in west Baker County.
Trooper K.M. Frost of the Florida Highway Patrol responded to several 9-1-1 motorist complaints that the 2014 Dodge Charger driven by Ramesh Katam, 51, was swerving in and out of eastbound travel lanes.
The trooper caught up with the vehicle and noted that Mr. Katam had the odor of alcohol about him and an open beer in the car. He failed field sobriety testing and his blood alcohol level at county jail measured .141.
Florida considers .08 intoxicated.
In another incident, the highway patrol said SR 121 near the state line north of Macclenny was blocked for one and one half hours the afternoon of November 17 when the rear wheels of a semi-truck became stuck in a ditch on the east side of the roadway.
Trooper J. Beagle said the truck driven by Patricia Thompson, 53, of Goose Creek, S.C. was pulling out southbound from the parking lot of the State Line Grocery at about 2 p.m. That's also when a strong storm was moving through the county.
The driver was not charged.

Dreamin October 16-23 punkin35It was really nice to get the free upgrade to the spa cabins, which did include the spa amenities. However, if I would have paid for this room I would not have been happy. The room itself was great. It was really big and the bathroom was tiled and really nice. The room was surrounded on three sides by doors which were constantly being slammed. There was also a storage room of some sort outside which was very noisy. The gym treadmills were right about the room and you could occasionally hear them. We were not in the room much, so it was not too bad. It usually was pretty quiet after 10pm. However, don't expect to sleep in much in this room because the noise begins early!!

The School Committee has little standing to force personnel changes at the Wilbur Elementary School as an internal investigation into tampering on the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System exams moves forward. Based on education reform laws, the committee is responsible for monitoring the actions of the superintendent, with the superintendent then responsible for the actions of the school administrators, Massachusetts Association of School Committees Executive Director Glenn Koocher said. He said attempting to bypass their responsibility could lead to problems down the road.
"If the School Committee attempts to get in the middle, they risk legal repercussions, and ethical issues come into play with the confidentiality of the affected individuals," Koocher said, speaking in generalities about committee roles.
Koocher said the committee could take an advisory vote suggesting a superintendent take a certain action, but acknowledged the vote wouldn't have any teeth. He likened that scenario to local boards voting to end the war in Afghanistan.
"They're a public body and can vote on whatever they want, but as a School Committee they lack the legal authority to require the vote be followed," Koocher said.
School Committeeman Victor Machado said any actions that could come in the wake of the internal investigation are in the hands of Superintendent Richard Medeiros.
"Basically this is in his jurisdiction," Machado said. "We can't discipline anyone but the superintendent, so we basically have to sit back and watch it unfold."
Machado declined to comment on how Medeiros or Wilbur Elementary School Principal Joan DeAngelis have handled the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education investigation and subsequent findings into the tampering of MCAS tests.
Colleagues on the board referred comment to Medeiros or committee chairman Jamison Souza when asked about how they felt the board, Medeiros or the school have handled the controversy.
"I wouldn't want to speak on the actions of the superintendent or principal until we see all of the information," Machado said.
Souza has also asked for the public's patience as Medeiros awaits information related to the DESE investigation to complete the internal review.
"It's been a difficult 18 months, but at this time we have to sit back and wait," Machado said. Email Will Richmond at email@example.com.

Changing the Lives of Older Orphans-ONE child at a time!
Around the world, there are an overwhelming 143 million children in orphanages and foster care waiting for the love of a forever family.
Unfortunately, many of the children are older than six years old, and with each passing year, they are less likely to be adopted. Thus, they will eventually "age out" of the system and never experience the life giving, life changing love that family provides.
It is our belief that there are millions of families around the world who would welcome these children into their homes if given the opportunity. Further limiting the opportunities for older orphans, many families are not able to pursue adoption because of financial limitations or lack of know how.
Together we can change that!
Project One Forty Three asks you to help us shine a light on these kids, to give them names, make them real and help change their lives forever. We can break down the barriers for these older children and Create Miracles...ONE child at a time!
It costs $2750 - $3000 to sponsor ONE child. Each donation, small and large, brings us closer to saving ONE!

For me, one of those very places is Duende. As a Spanish tapas restaurant by night and a brunch joint by day, it offers diners a wide variety of dishes that are ever changing, and always pleasing. Don't get me wrong, like any relationship we've had our ups and downs, but from the first time I ate there until now, I remain loyal and in love.
If you haven't eaten at this corner hotspot in Leederville, I definitely recommend it. The price is a little on the expensive side for tapas, but more often than not you're going to get some truly standout dishes. At night, the place is dimmed and lit mainly by candlelight with guests often see indulging in plate after plate (and wine after wine). By day, it's a completely different story with sunlight streaming in through the many windows and the place becoming a competitor to the ever popular Sayers across the road.
Unlike the waiting line out the front of Sayers, Duende actually had a couple tables available which I actually find surprising because the breakfasts I've had here have been pretty great in the past. We sit down and place our beverage orders - a Freshly Squeezed Orange Juice ($7) for each of us. They come out as cute as buttons in mini milk bottles (seems to be the trend these days) with barbershop pole reminiscent paper straws. I love the look of these, but I do find that they can go soggy with use (in saying that I have some of these at home haha!).
Strangely Jeremy's also torn, which is unlike him. Normally he settles on his dishes pretty quickly but on this occasion he's eying up the Beans, Chorizo, Manchego and Eggs, though ends up deciding on the Eggs Benedicto ($17). A spanish twist on a traditional breakfast dish!
The dish is beautiful, the ingredients well seasoned and balanced. I'm pleased to see as Jeremy cuts into the egg, yolk spills out everywhere with aplomb. The jamon serrano (insert drool here) is melt in your mouth and all kinds of phenomenal. It reminded me just how much I love cured meats (and will be buying some this weekend!). The only downfall of this dish is the bread. It's virtually impossible to cut into, leaving Jeremy to tear at it awkwardly. But that said, the overall level of this dish was delicious.
It's such a fresh dish. The corn fritters are actually more corn than anything else; sweet and zingy with a nice edge from the coriander in the batter. I love the addition of the sour cream and salad components which enhance the depth of flavour in the chipotle sauce.
Though it doesn't look it, I actually find myself getting full pretty quickly and abandon the dish for Jeremy to take over (happily).
At $49 for a breakfast, it's definitely on the expensive side but it's pretty much what I expect when we go out these days for the first meal of the day. The food at Duende doesn't disappoint but what I do find slightly irksome is the service.
While all the staff are extremely lovely, there's sometimes a lacking service focus. We placed our drink orders and received them, but waited about 20 minutes before someone came to take our food order. And when we went to pay, we were given the bill at the till, but then our server walked off even though I was holding money in my hand. Small things, but had they not happened, I would have happily said this was a perfect day out.
That said, I will still repeat to anyone that asks, Duende is one of my favourite places in Perth. And while there is a never ending list of places to try, sometimes you just need to go somewhere you know will hit the spot. Which this place does, every time.

Chris Osgood is among the most universally liked players in the NHL — at least among those who have been around long enough to get to know the Red Wings' 38-year-old goaltender.
So there probably were a few nods of congratulation throughout the league Monday night when word got around that Osgood, now Detroit's infrequently used backup in his second tour of duty with the franchise, collected his landmark 400th career win in heroic style as the Red Wings took a 4-3 overtime victory over the Avalanche at the Pepsi Center.
In only his ninth appearance of the season, and in his third try at No. 400, Osgood had 46 saves, with half of them coming in a scoreless second period, before Niklas Kronwall's power-play goal at 3:42 of overtime ended the game.
Colorado Avalanche

- Post photos of your team spirit.
- Keep tabs on the Avs' AHL affiliate, the Lake Erie Monsters.
All four Detroit goals came on the power play, in six manpower advantages, and Colorado's shaky penalty killing and Osgood's work were the major stories in the entertaining game played in front of a sellout crowd that again included multitudes of red-clad Detroit fans. Also, Colorado didn't capitalize on 67 seconds of a 5-on-3 in the first period and, yes, it came back to haunt the Avalanche and helped make a winner of Osgood.
"I was excited I was playing here," Osgood said in the visiting dressing room he has become so familiar with over the years. "I mean, I played in the old rink, McNichols, and this one. It was against a good team, and we had a lot of fans here and that made it special. I've always loved playing here. I like everything about this place. That was exciting for me. I mean, I would have loved to win it at 'the Joe,' but this will do."
Matt Duchene scored twice for the Avalanche, with the second coming with only 2:36 remaining in regulation to tie the game 3-3 and force overtime. Duchene and TJ Galiardi beat Osgood in the first period before the veteran goalie tightened up, especially in that heroic second period. Ultimately, Kronwall's goal on the 4-on-3 advantage came on a one-timer from the top of the left-wing circle after Avalanche goalie Peter Budaj, who finished with 26 saves, was called for tripping Darren Helm at 3:02 of overtime.
"I tried to reach because he was passing it over, and I tried to pull back, but I hit his skate," Budaj said. "I felt his skate on my stick, so it's a bad penalty, obviously. It's the referee's call, it's not my call, and I thought I tried to play it honest, but I did collide with his skate. So it's a good call, I would say, but it was a bad penalty."
Jiri Hudler, Johan Franzen and Nicklas Lidstrom had the earlier power-play goals for the Wings. Given the Avalanche's strong work at 5-on-5, the loss was especially frustrating.
"That might be our best game we've played this season," said Duchene, who now has a team-high 15 goals in 2010-11. "To take it to Detroit like that and get 49 shots, that's incredible. It's disappointing we lost that one. Their third goal (Lidstrom's) and their fourth goal were great shots. 'Boods' played great.
"We had some other opportunities to score in the second period, including a couple I maybe should have buried, and then it's over right there. But Osgood played great for them. In my mind, he stole it for them."
The 46 saves matched Osgood's career high, and he became the 10th NHL goalie to reach 400 wins.

On November 2, 1954, announcement was made of a research project at Harvard University on the history of labor-management relations in the United States in recent decades. The anticipated merger of the AFL-CIO appeared to be a good vantage point from which to review and to interpret the epochal developments in the industrial relations system of the United States during the preceding quarter century.
The membership of labor organizations had increased fourfold from the levels of the late 1920's; the impact of government in labor-management relations had been altered and vastly expanded by the Wagner Act and the Taft-Hartley law in addition to wartime policies; collective bargaining had been extended to new industries and to new problems; the policies and internal organizations of industrial managements had been transformed to deal with industrial relations; the internal government of international unions was undergoing significant changes; and the labor movement had experienced a dramatic split which was to come to a formal close with the merger convention of December 1955.
Within this large range of interests, the project was begun with two general studies of the labor movement treating the period up to World War II and six studies of particular international unions, collective bargaining relationships, or industries. The histories of individual international unions and labor-management relations were designed to be of interest in themselves, to contribute to an understanding of collective bargaining institutions over a longer period, and to reinforce the two initial general studies of the labor movement. Additional volumes are planned which treat other topics and issues in further analysis of labor-management relations and labor organizations. The history of the experience of labor organizations in the South, for instance, is now in preparation; more theoretical and general interpretative work can be built upon these studies.
The project was planned jointly with professors Walter Galenson and Lloyd Ulman of the University of California, Berkeley. Both are former colleagues at Harvard University, and each spent a further year in research on this project in Cambridge undertaking responsibility for the two general studies of the labor movement. The CIO Challenge to the AFL by Professor Galenson treats the period 1935- 1941. Professor Ulman's volume is concerned

The jam: Neck
When traffic comes to a standstill, work out the kinks in your neck by slowly rolling your head around in wide circles. Keep your shoulders down and, when you find a tense spot, hold your head there and take five breaths. Let each exhale release some tightness. Roll your head very slow twice to each side.
The jam: Shoulders and chest
While stopped, sit upright with your feet hip-width apart and knees directly over your ankles. Interlace your fingers behind your head and relax your elbows and shoulders so they are limp. With your chest lifted and your chin tucked, stretch your elbows backward. Feel your shoulders loosen and your chest expand. Take five breaths, relax for a few breaths, and repeat. You might even hear a cracking on your exhale.
The jam: Back
When traffic isn't moving, reach your hands overhead. Inhale deeply, and on your exhale, fold your body forward vertebra by vertebra until your arms and upper body are hanging over your thighs (or the steering wheel) like a rag doll. (This works better if you're not driving.) Take five deep breaths. Next time fold forward and grab either elbow with the opposite hand. The weight of your arms will open up your lower back, letting the stretch creep into your hamstrings too. Feel almost weepy with relaxation? Good.
The jam: Hips
Instead of banging the "on" button and answering e-mail with lightning speed when you get to your desk, do a pose while your computer boots. Standing next to a wall for balance, place your right foot against the inside of your left thigh (or calf, if that feels better). Then balance by pressing the foot into the standing leg. To open your hips press the leg of the bent knee backward. It won't go far, but the effort opens both hip joints. If you find your foot sliding down the leg, hold the ankle. Stand tall by lifting your sternum and flattening out your back. Take five deep breaths. Switch sides. Then seize the day.

Second dash cover I have purchased, good price and shipped for free and I received quickly. Also great customer service.

I enjoy the dashboard cover very much as I like the Mocha color a lot better then the black dash I have. The only draw back is that because my front window is so slanted that the dash puts somewhat of a glare on my front window which I'm sure I'll get use to.

I ordered dash designs cover to reflect some sunlight heat from my black dash. I took a chance to order a bright grey color with some fear of glare. The amount of glare is quite minimal and not noticeable. The light color is reflecting a great deal of summer sun and keeping car cooler as I hoped. I put into position for a week to allow it to flatten a bit before I secured it with Velcro tabs provided. I am pleased more than I expected and will recommend it.

The reason for the short fix times is so that the partially soluble Silver Thiosulphate complexes formed during fixing have little or no time to diffuse into the Fibre base where the can form weak bonds with the cellulose. This is the why staining from poor fixing is often in the paper, even on the rear not just in the emulsion.
It's what I have been doing all along. I still do a longish wash after Permawash bath. I use T4 for film but for paper I use Hypam .
Arista Premium Odorless Liquid Fixer
It can fix FB papers within one minute. Should be perfect then!
Ilford has for several years disassociated the Sequence
from the word Archival. In fact their 2002 PDF on fixers
does not even mention the sequence; the post film
strength 1 minute fix followed by a 5-10-5 minute
wash-hca-wash. They do still list a fix time for
film strength. ??????
To put it bluntly, the 1 minute fix at film strength is no
longer to be associated with archival. The sequence
itself is no longer.
Ilford's guide line for greatest Life Expectancy is the
level of dissolved silver in the fixer. They've pegged
it at 0.5 grams silver per liter. That works out to be
10, 8x10s through 1 liter of working strength be it
1:4, 1:9, or if you can believe the chemistry
capacity statments, 1:19.
Ilford's reasons for dropping the sequence are, I believe
multiple. One reason repeatedly mentioned; some papers
simply will not fix completely in 1 minute. Also, doubts
were raised of the 10 minutes in hca replacing
a second fix. Essentially the quick fix in film
strength was never any more than the
quickest way to a clean print.
If Ilford promotes any fix routine it is the two bath
which they describe as "... extremely efficient ...".
Hey! They want us to turn out clean prints
and save on chemistry. Dan
How important is double bath fixing? If you are selling prints it would seem your clients should reasonably expect your print to last multiple decades without significant deterioration if displayed or stored under reasonable conditions. Two bath fixing should be part of your process. Then again, if you are printing for your own enjoyment do you really care if a print lasts 30, 50 or 100 years? How long are you going display a print before you decide a change is due? How much trouble would it be to reprint an image after, say 15 years? If you are printing for the joy of it, as I do, I vote for single bath fixing taking care not to over use the fix followed by a sensible washing routine.

There have been a lot of discussions going on lately online among Americans, including American Muslims on whether to vote in this year's presidential elections. Many people, especially Muslims feel that President Obama has disappointed them, thus they will not vote to help re-elect him for a second term. Still others believe that it is no use for us to vote because either party will not help us American Muslims out and a few people also think that it is Haram (unlawful in Islam) to even vote i … [Read more...]

Vodafone Unleashes Mad Zoozoos on India
To promote Vodafone's wares in India, Ogilvy dreamt up a small community of incoherent, maniacally laughing, wingless birds called Zoozoos.
Mostly the Zoozoos do terrible things to each other and laugh. Each piece ends with some trite tie-in back to Vodafone.
The spots debuted during the Indian Premier League cricket tourney. (Appropriately, "Cricket Alerts" is embedded below. See more ads here.)
The magic of the Zoozoos lies in that they look animated but aren't. They're actually played by real people wearing white. You can find out what kind of Zoozoo you are at the Vodafone microsite. (Uh, diggin' how response 4 in question 1 automatically assumes you're a guy. But I guess if all Zoozoos have a package like this one, it goes without saying.)

Hello everyone,
Lately (since I upgraded to the 2.9.x family) I've been having severe problems with the HTML editor and I wanted to know everyone else's experience with this as I'm considering to make a detailed bug report.
In the 2.9.1:
- when editing HTML in the editor, some tags (div's mostly) would dissappear when witching back to Visual. Other effects include removing of html entities (such as ). Empty tags (except the <p>'s that wordpress adds) are usually removed also.
In the 2.9.2:
- now when editing in HTML, I -have to- move back to Visual. If I click on Publish/Update directly from HTML view, I can see any change I made to the post disappear right before I'm notified the post was updated.
- when saving, tags I manually added are progressively trimmed and eventually eliminated (eg, I add something like <div style="clear:both"> </div>, later it becomes div style="clear:both"> </div>, then div style="clear:both"> </div> and is ultimately removed)

"It's as likely as Dennis Rodman being our chief envoy to North Korea," Stewart quipped on the Daily Show. The sequester, he says, is a bit like autoerotic asphyxiation: "It was like they tied a belt around their neck, and then looped it over the shower curtain, in the hopes that this pressure would somehow heighten the sensation of getting something done." But with autoerotic asphyxiation, "everybody thinks they can pull it off—until they can't." Congress tied up the belt, but didn't manage to reach a deal. Still, their salaries aren't taking a hit. "As usual, they did it wrong," Stewart said. "And yet somehow, we're the ones blacking out, while they're all still jerking off."

My FM2n is my least used camera. My criticisms are mostly about the viewfinder:
a)The shutter speed display intrudes into the viewing area! I understand why Nikon did this; it's so the numbers are backlit. I just don't like it.
b)The shutter speed, aperture, and meter indicators are each on seperate sides of the viewfinder. I'd much rather have them all on one side.
c)The motordrive, while extremely comfortable in the hands, jams when misused. It jams on me all the time because I forget to keep the advance lever in the off position.
All that said, I have enormous respect for my FM2n because it appears to be indestructable. I've dropped mine several times, it's been kicked, left in the car for weeks at a time, left unprotected in the rain and snow. It doesn't give a f&$%. I've had to send my F2S for repair after it's been dropped but never my FM2n. It could just be luck, but I think most users have similar stories.
