Chapter 17
1Then one of the seven angels with the seven bowls came and spoke to me.
"Come," he said, "I will show you the doom of the great idolatress who is seated on many waters, 2in whose idolatry the kings of the earth have joined, and with the wine of whose idolatry the inhabitants of the earth have been intoxicated."
3So he carried me away in a trance to a desert, and I saw a woman seated on a scarlet animal all covered with blasphemous titles; it had seven heads and ten horns. 4The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and glittered with gold, precious stones, and pearls. She had in her hand a gold cup full of accursed things, and the impurities of her immorality. 5On her forehead there was written a name that was symbolic: "Mighty Babylon, mother of idolatresses and of earth's abominations." 6I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God's people, and the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. When I saw her I was perfectly amazed, 7but the angel said to me,
"Why are you amazed? I will explain to you what the woman and the animal with seven heads and ten horns that carries her symbolize. 8The animal that you saw was, and is no more; it is going to come up out of the abyss, but it is to go to destruction. The inhabitants of the earth, whose names from the foundation of the world have not been written in the book of life, will be amazed when they see that the animal was, and is no more, and yet is to come. 9Here is a problem for a profound mind! The seven heads are seven hills, on which the woman is seated. 10They are also seven kings; five have fallen, one is reigning, the other has not yet come, and when he does his stay must be brief. 11So must it be with the animal that was, and is no more. It is also an eighth king, although it is one of the seven, and it is to go to destruction. 12The ten horns that you saw are also ten kings, who have not yet begun to reign, but for a single hour they receive authority as kings along with the animal. 13They have one purpose, they give their power and authority to the animal. 14They will make war upon the Lamb, and the Lamb with his elect, chosen, and faithful followers with him will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of kings.
15"The waters that you saw," he said to me, "on which the idolatrous woman was seated, are peoples, multitudes, nations, and languages. 16The ten horns that you saw and the animal will hate the idolatrous woman and make her desolate and naked, and eat her flesh and burn her up with fire. 17For God has put it into their hearts to carry out his purpose by having a common purpose and giving up their authority to the animal until God's decrees are carried out. 18And the woman that you saw is the great city that has dominion over the kings of the earth."

I already asked this question in another thread, but I figure if anyone knows - it would be you.
How do you pronounce Nitto? (neato? or nitto?)
It's best to say it with an aggitated tone, and a bit of a rising growl, in a karate stance whenever possible. Preferrably while breaking a brick on the "toh", like so...
from my forays trying to learn japanese, which "syllable" is emphasized is everything
2 words will be "spelled" exactly the same but you pronounce one letter different and youre talking about couches instead of jumping or something

Scrod: Have you put together a list of go-to parts, components, bikes, et al? I saw on your pedalroom that you said something about a certain chain, how you would not buy any other chain. I think it would be a good resource to have a few lists of what you think are the best things out there right now... actually, three lists, like a budget list, a main-line list, and a top of the line list. I imagine that some items may be the same across lists because some budget items are the best you can get, but whatever.
I know it could be a pain to maintain as products come and go, but it could be helpful and if you linked to products you might find a way to monetize it (assuming you link to some products that you do not sell).
Since Japanese has pitch-accent rather than stress-accent none of these various spellings/boldings are likely to capture the actual native pronunciation, which is part of the source of confusion. I believe that the high front vowel is always tense /i/ and so "neato" is probably closer to it. As the accent is lexical and not represented by the spelling, we would need a native Japanese speaker to say whether Nitto has an accent or not.

Sort of a carry-over from my question in RG - I did a spoke length calc. for an A23/chub road front build (24 hole, 3-cross) and it told me I need a 302.5mm spoke length. Sapim and Wheelsmith DB14's top off at 302. Am I just derping or should I rethink my build? Not dead-set on 24h but I'm a relatively light, small guy (5'6/150lbs) but also not bummed on the idea of likely having to retrue more than a 32h.
Is there any videos or pic tutorials on how to setup a brake lever? I just ordered some Cane Creek 200TT's and would not mind trying to put them on myself when they get here.

Have you noticed that the seatpost clamps on the blue EAI BK frames like yours look different than some of the others I have found on Pedalroom. Did they change it just for that particular color or are they changed in general?
Hi Scrod,
I've been fond of my Durano Plus 25's, but might pick up a second pair of slightly wider and lightly treaded tires that would be almost as good on pavement, but also give me increased flexibility to ride unpaved/off-road paths more often. The Durano's ain't too comfortable in those situations, and I'm avoiding a lot of good paths nearby. I'm looking at the Panaracer Pasela TG's. I wouldn't get rid of the Duranos, but probably swap out every once in a while to mix things up. Not looking for anything as aggressive as cross tires...just some more width, comfort and slight tread while remaining very puncture-resistant.
I see from Pedal Room that you've actually used both of these tires. Any thoughts on how the Panaracer and the Durano Plus subjectively feel as far as ride quality, rolling resistance, stability, etc.? Do the Panaracers feel less out of place on non-paved surfaces? I know it's hard to compare, so just any personal thoughts are appreciated.
PS: I've read that the Panaracer 28's run a bit small. Do you know if the 32's are also small? 32 might be a bit big for my clearance, but if they are effectively smaller, I might consider them...

In The Know
Jacob Lawrence Exhibit at The Phillips CollectionJanuary 5, 2015
From January 9 through August 10, 2015, The Phillips Collection is hosting an exhibition of the paintings of Jacob Lawrence. Among the best-known 20th century African-American , Lawrence gained national recognition with his 60-panel Migration Series, painted on cardboard.
Produced between 1954 and 1956, Jacob Lawrence's Struggle series illustrates scenes from American history, chronicling events from the Revolutionary War through the great westward expansion of 1817. This exhibition, which brings together 12 panels from the private collection of Harvey and Harvey-Ann Ross, presents a rare glimpse into the artist's narrative invention at mid-century while considering the significance of his Struggle series.
The Phillips Collection is located at 1600 21st Street NW.

Building a Sales Team & Organization
The Junto Institute
Friday, August 15, 2014 from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM (CDT)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Building a sales team is one of the most challenging mountains to climb for a fast-growth B2B startup. The questions are endless: Where to find the talent? How to compensate them? Hire an inside salesperson, lead generator, biz dev manager, or account manager? What type of support to provide? How to train and manage them?
For the first time, The Junto Institute is inviting entrepreneurs from the community to a hands-on class from its 10-month, cohort-based curriculum. Why? Because we keep hearing from founders who want to get better at building their sales organization. After all, to effectively scale a company, the founders must find a way to drive revenue so they can increasingly focus on leading the team and running the business.
Our instructor is Rich Lyons, co-founder and CEO of LyonsCG, an ecommerce digital agency with 150 employees. Rich will share experiences, mistakes made along the way, and lessons learned. He'll also ask founders hard questions they need to answer to effectively build a high-performing, results-oriented sales team; share thoughts on what tactics could work for your company; and provide tools he's created to manage his own sales team.
Here is a sample of what our students said about Rich's workshop during Junto I, our inaugural cohort last year:
- "Real experience growing an organization. Highlighted the importance of sales with strategy. Excellent info, complete credibility, and nice pace."
- "The sales tactics were awesome. He was very good and the takeaway docs are very valuable."
- "He was open about what tactics his company uses and I definitely think we could take a bunch of those and put them [to use] in our company."
We're making only five seats available to entrepreneurs from the community for this intimate and highly interactive workshop. In addition to learning from Rich, attendees will hear the experiences of peer founders from the Junto II companies as they build their sales organizations and cope with similar challenges.
Please note: this workshop is open only to founders of startups and/or growth companies.

Born to Rock
Beverly Bond was inspired by her mother's love for a wide variety of music—from soul to African to world music—at an early age. She was raised in Maryland and as a child she started collecting albums and amassed so many that eventually she said, "Everybody that came to my house thought I was a DJ 'cause they would see my record collection is crazy." It wouldn't be until later in life that she would return to the turntables, but a seed was planted. (Photo by Thos Robinson/Getty Images)

By Matthew Hirsch
THERE'S AN ELEMENT of market environmentalism that appeals
even to us ordinary greens who would rather ride a bicycle than drive
a car despite the inconvenience. It's the idea that prices should reflect
the true cost of producing goods instead of the highest cost society
will bear. Consider an example from the recent past. Twenty years ago
it was impossible to stop people from buying aerosol hair spray, because
aerosol was inexpensive and it somehow made rock stars like Aerosmith's
Steven Tyler attractive, even though chlorofluorocarbons from aerosol
were ripping a giant hole in the ozone layer. Imagine if manufacturers
charged a true price for aerosol, one that reflected the irreparable
harm caused by ozone depletion. That price would include the costs of
health care for treating skin cancer, damage to the Arctic habitat from
melting polar ice caps, and the catastrophic consequences of global
climate change. If that had happened, fewer people would have bought
aerosol, and who knows, maybe bands like Def Leppard and Van Halen wouldn't
have kicked so much ass.
Stylish hair won in the '80s because the market favors consumption.
No, the market is consumption. But if prices for things like
aerosol or gasoline or coal included the costs to the
planet, then at least sustainable goods would have an advantage in the
market. That idea is beginning to forge a new green alliance among strange
bedfellows: environmentalists, labor, homeland defense types, and venture
capitalists, all of whom believe clean energy is the next big business.
For the past five years Vijay Vaitheeswaran, energy correspondent for
the Economist, has been tracking the shift toward clean energy,
backed enthusiastically by the president of the Sierra Club and the
CEO of British Petroleum. Now Vaitheeswaran chimes in with his book,
Power to the People: How the Coming Energy Revolution Will Transform
an Industry, Change Our Lives and Maybe Even Save the Planet.
I met Vaitheeswaran two months ago while he was in San Francisco on
a book tour. In fact, he was promoting clean energy, such as the fuel
cell, which he said is poised to end the oil age for good welcome
news for those who call themselves green. But clean energy has always
been popular, and that hasn't lessened our dependence on oil in the
past. It has just given renewables a surge of interest and investment
lately, particularly because of a man named George W. Bush, who trades
blood for oil in Iraq.
In discussing fossil fuel prices, Vaitheeswaran identifies the crisis
confronting capitalism and specifically the energy industry: that profit-seekers
can no longer externalize their costs of doing business. But can anybody
really afford those costs? He offers no clear answer to this question,
and for good reason. I don't think one exists.
The problem with the clean-energy revolution, as Vaitheeswaran describes
it, is that it relies on the commodification of everything on Earth,
down to the tiniest electron. It assumes that all the ecosystems on
the planet are part of one enormous Wal-Mart superstore, and everything
in them comes labeled with a price: this much money for plants, a bit
more (or a bit less) for people, a whole lot more for air and water.
Valued as such, each of Earth's components becomes expendable for the
right amount of cash. Scientists and economists could then go about
estimating how much the entire planet is worth. And sure enough, according
to Eddie Yuen in the new book Confronting Capitalism (Soft Skull
Press, 2004), they have. So much for saving the whales or saving the
redwoods. It's time now to save your money! The true value of Earth
and everything on its surface, Yuen reports, is $28 trillion.
Bay Guardian: Why did you write a book about energy technologies,
such as fuel cells, that have been around for quite some time?
Vijay Vaitheeswaran: I've written a book about the future of
energy. Fuel cells are one part of it, and I describe them because they
are one of the more interesting things happening in energy.
To be very clear, it's not a book about hydrogen and fuel cells; it's
a book about how we make choices about energy, and I give hydrogen and
fuel cells as one example of the kind of innovation that leads potentially
to a cleaner energy future that might happen if we get the incentives
right. The book is really about how we have distorted the energy markets
in very environmentally unfriendly ways because of the choices we've
made about how to price energy, how to regulate the energy industry,
whether we stifle or encourage innovation.
BG: Who would you say is promoting rational ways to advance
environmentally friendly policy in Washington, D.C., or in state government?
VV: In the American debate, I think we have a great lack of
original thinking on all sides of the political spectrum. Europe has
shown a lot more leadership, in my opinion, in being willing to break
the taboo on environmental taxes. In Europe the environmental groups
have had the courage to explain and win public support for things like
carbon taxes, gasoline taxes, or chemical taxation. They've been able
to do eco-taxation reform, as it's called. In America it's heresy, and
even environmental groups are afraid to put their head above the parapet
and say we've got to get this right or else there won't be a level playing
BG: Does the emerging energy revolution you discuss include
higher prices for energy, as in Europe?
VV: I am a very strong advocate of honest prices for the energy
that we use, and I use my words carefully because I really believe we
don't pay honest prices. We pay an artificially low price in two ways:
one is just the subsidies we hand out as pork-barrel projects to the
fossil fuel industry. The Energy Bill is a good example. And we don't
pay for the environmental damage done by fossil fuels. We don't pay
for the damage to our lungs, to human health, the cost of keeping troops
in the Middle East. Part of that should be paid by the price of oil
at the pump.
BG: Why did you call your book Power to the People?
VV: In the first chapter I explain the very Stalinist command-and-control
model of electricity that we have adopted that stifles innovation, that
rewards utilities for shoving more electricity down our throats. There's
no incentive for conservation, there's no incentive for new technologies,
for clean technologies or for investing in research and development.
The industry invests less than 1 percent in R&D, the least innovative
of any big industry in the world. If you look at information technology,
if you look at the Internet business, cell phones, pharmaceuticals
it's over 10 to 15 percent.
That's how you get clever ideas. You reward the green companies, and
you turn over capital stock, the dirty coal plants that have been hanging
around for 30 years.
We just need to compensate the losers, the people who own the coal
plants, and reward the winners, who should be people who come up with
the clean technology. And that happens to be smaller-scale, distributed,
nimble kinds of technology, the way Thomas Edison originally envisioned
power. In a sense it's a return of power to the people, where we began
120 years ago with Edison's first plant in New York.
That's really the idea behind the book. As I began to look at it, so
much of what we have wrong in energy is a result of where we went in
the middle of the century. We locked in very centralized, very dirty,
very brittle systems. In computing we moved away from mainframes to
laptops and distributed networking; we are just doing it slowly in energy.
That's the power to the people I'm talking about.
BG: You've spoken in favor of federal energy regulation.
Wouldn't a shift to federal control jeopardize California's progressive
energy policies?
VV: When you say progressive, I assume you mean policies that
are more environmentally minded, green energy and so on. Let me push
back on your point because that is, in my view, part of what's gotten
California into its problems, thinking that it's special. You're not
the first place in the world to deregulate. Scandinavia has the most
liberalized electricity market in the world it's had it for 20
years, and it's entirely compatible with lots of renewable energy.
There are examples from elsewhere that suggest getting competitive
and rewarding environmentalism is the smart way to do it, the sustainable
way to do it.
BG: What are your thoughts on Arnold Schwarzenegger, who
had some interesting energy proposals during the recall campaign?
VV: The first thing I would say is try to be skeptical of a
man who drives seven Hummers who claims to be environmentally friendly.
Having said that, his environmental campaign promises were quite green.
Someone actually went and looked at his campaign manifesto and apparently
I haven't checked myself 22 percent of all the words of
the manifesto relate to the environment. It's about the only part of
the manifesto that has any specific targets and figures and so on.
BG: It was very provocative to see Schwarzenegger at his
inauguration flanked by the Kennedys on one side and Pete Wilson on
the other.
VV: You notice the first words in his platform on the environment
are that growth and protection of the environment are not incompatible,
and it's that idea that I think sometimes is lost in the debate. A lot
of that has to do with the market mechanisms I talk about in the book
that have undeniably in the last 10 to 15 years helped us tackle acid
rain. You don't hear much about acid rain anymore; there are still local
hot spots, but the problem has been dramatically reduced because of
mechanisms that almost every environmental group opposed.
BG: A lot of environmentalists and market ideologues believe
the scarcity of fossil fuels is the only factor that will push the market
to renewables, but you reject that assumption in the book. Why?
VV: Because it's demonstrably false. First of all the premise
is wrong. There isn't a scarcity of fossil fuels. It's wishful thinking.
And secondly, I actually want to make an even more environmental promise,
a call to get off of oil before it runs out because its the right thing
to do, because there's a better alternative. And that's what history
shows the last 30 years. Many, many environmental initiatives have failed
because they kind of hoped there would be the crutch of oil running
out and so we would invest in whatever renewable projects came along.
Well, the harder case to make is without that crutch, and that's the
case environmentalists need to make. If you make that case, you will
win. But if you rely on the crutch of fossil fuel scarcity, I've got
bad news for you. We've got a thousand years of coal left in the world.
The U.S. has tons of coal, and so does China. So if you really make
the case just on fossil fuel scarcity, you can't win. It ain't gonna
BG: Last question: how did the war against Iraq change the
environmental debate?
VV: I had the privilege to deliver a keynote address at a conference
in Washington on exactly this topic a couple of weeks ago 300
to 400 activists from around the country talking about oil, money, and
politics, that was the theme of the conference. I was honored they invited
me to talk. It's not often a guy from the Economist is invited
by a left-wing think tank and 400 activists want to hear what he has
to think. I think that's a sign of the times, because the case I'm making
for ending business as usual is not one that the Bush administration
is very keen to hear, but it's something that people who want to see
change in an environmentally positive direction are hearing.
Look at what's happened with 9/11, security in our country, homeland
defense, and suddenly we have a whole other kind of political coalition
emerging, saying, "What's this hydrogen stuff?" And they suddenly
see that it can be made in America in a dozen different ways, whether
it's wind or biomass, renewables, nuclear, or coal. Probably natural
gas will be the first phase, but nonetheless, you suddenly see that
it's hardly a threat to vested interests; it can be an opportunity for
vested interests as well. Middle America, conservative right-wing types,
and domestic security types can say, "You know, it might make sense
to get off of oil, and here's a way that America could profit to get
off of oil." It happens to be one that is an environmentally benign
future and gets us off our addiction to fossil fuels.
Interesting alliances come about when we see changes in industries
and in the way we do things. I think we're at such a tipping point in
energy, and that's why I call it a revolution.

Manhattan keeps on making it, Brooklyn keeps on taking it
Bronx keeps creating it, and Queens keeps on faking it
Lyric Meaning
These lines explaining the borough's respective roles – Manhattan as the money-making go-getter, Brooklyn as the home of the stickup kid, Bronx as hip-hop birthplace and Queens as, well, nothing – have become iconic
At least Queens makes the list though. Long Island (on the come-up with groups like Eric B & Rakim, Public Enemy and EPMD) and Staten Island (really only known for the Force MDs at the time) don't even get a mention.

I honestly don't remember any nagging injurys while I was training in gear. Not like I do now, lol. I didn't feel really beat up either.

47:0572(49)AR - - Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons, Federal Prison Camp, Alderson, WV and AFGE Local 1494 - - 1993 FLRAdec AR - - v47 p572
[ v47 p572 ]
The decision of the Authority follows:
47 FLRA No. 49
May 4, 1993
Before Chairman McKee and Members Talkin and Armendariz.
I. Statement of the Case
This matter is before the Authority on exceptions to an award of Arbitrator Michael E. Zobrak filed by the Agency under section 7122(a) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute) and part 2425 of the Authority's Rules and Regulations. The Union filed an opposition to the Agency's exceptions.
The Arbitrator sustained a grievance contesting an employee's removal and ordered the Agency to reduce the discipline to a 60-day suspension. The Arbitrator also ordered the Agency to cease and desist from using home duty status when removing an employee from a worksite pending the Agency's investigation of disciplinary charges. The Agency has filed exceptions to the portion of the award ordering it to cease and desist from placing employees in home duty status. For the reasons stated below, we find that we are without jurisdiction under section 7122(a) of the Statute to review the Agency's exceptions.
II. Background and Arbitrator's Award
When the Agency learned that the grievant, a corrections officer, had been found guilty of shoplifting, it placed the grievant in home duty status pending its investigation of the matter. Thereafter, the Agency removed the grievant for off-duty criminal conduct and for failing to report her arrest. The grievant filed a grievance contesting her placement in home duty status and her removal.
When the grievance was not resolved, it was submitted to arbitration on the following issues, as framed by the Arbitrator:
[D]id the Agency violate the Agreement when it assigned the Grievant to home duty status and did the Agency have just and sufficient cause to remove the Grievant and if not, what should the remedy be?
Award at 3.
Before the Arbitrator, the Union argued that the grievant's home duty assignment violated the Agency's "personnel practices" and that this violation constituted "harmful error[] and [a] prohibited personnel practice[] demanding a reversal of the Agency's [removal] decision." Id. at 8. The Arbitrator determined that the issue of the grievant's home duty assignment:
deals with the Agency's right to assign the Grievant to home duty status and, if the Agency's directive was improper, what impact does this have on the Grievant's discharge?
Id. at 9. In response to this issue, the Arbitrator found that the grievant's home duty assignment was "separate and apart from the matters which led to the Grievant's discharge" and concluded that "the placement of the Grievant in home duty status ha[d] no bearing on the outcome related to the Grievant's discharge." Id. The Arbitrator also found, however, based on a previous award by a different arbitrator, that placing an employee in home duty status pending investigation of charges was improper. Accordingly, the Arbitrator ordered the Agency "to cease and desist from using home duty status" in these circumstances. Id. at 10, 15.
With regard to the grievant's removal, the Arbitrator found that the removal was "too harsh and punitive" and ordered the Agency to reduce the removal to a 60-day suspension. Id. at 14.
III. Positions of the Parties
The Agency excepts only to the portion of the award which orders the Agency to cease and desist from using home duty status. The Agency claims that this portion of the Arbitrator's award: (1) interferes with management's right to assign work under the Statute; (2) is contrary to Government-wide regulation; and (3) is deficient because the Arbitrator exceeded his authority.
The Union maintains that the award draws its essence from the contract, does not interfere with management's rights, and is not contrary to law or regulation.
IV. Analysis and Conclusions
We find that we are without jurisdiction under section 7122(a) of the Statute to review the Agency's exceptions. Section 7122(a) of the Statute provides, in pertinent part:
Either party to arbitration under this chapter may file with the Authority an exception to any arbitrator's award pursuant to the arbitration (other than an award relating to a matter described in section 7121(f) of this title).
The matter described in section 7121(f) include serious adverse actions covered under 5 U.S.C. &§ 7512, such as removals. See, for example, U.S. Department of the Air Force, Williams Air Force Base, Chandler, Arizona and American Federation of Government Employees, Local 1776, 35 FLRA 1292 (1990)(Williams Air Force Base). Review of awards relating to such matters may be obtained by filing an appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in accordance with 5 U.S.C. &§ 7703.
We do not agree with the Agency that the Arbitrator's decision on the issue of the grievant's home duty assignment should be treated separately from his award on the grievant's removal and is therefore subject to the filing of exceptions under section 7122(a) of the Statute. Instead, we find that the Arbitrator's decision on the grievant's home duty assignment is "related to," within the meaning of section 7122(a) of the Statute, the award regarding the grievant's removal. See U.S. Department of the Treasury, Internal Revenue Service, Phoenix District and National Treasury Employees Union, Chapter 33, 43 FLRA 686, 691 (1991); Williams Air Force Base, 35 FLRA at 1293.
In this connection, the issue of the grievant's home duty assignment was clearly linked by the Union to the issue of the grievant's removal. According to the Arbitrator, the Union claimed that the grievant's home duty assignment constituted harmful error and a prohibited personnel practice which required "reversal of the Agency's [removal] decision." Award at 8. Indeed, according to the

Yanks, D-Backs left to dream up trade again
Updated: December 22, 2004, 12:07 PM ETESPN.com news services
The Dodgers withdrew Tuesday from the proposed three-team, 10-player trade that would have sent Randy Johnson from the Arizona Diamondbacks to the New York Yankees, who then criticized Los Angeles for "reneging" on the deal.
"As we sit here right now, the deal is no more," Dodgers general manager Paul DePodesta said during a conference call. "I've been saying all along that we weren't going to do the deal unless it made sense for this club in 2005, and that was not the case."

The Left wants sex to be an irrelevant category. Now, if the question is who can be an astronaut or accountant, you might be able to make the case that sex is irrelevant. Most people can go along with the idea that we should not be overly rigid about gender roles. But the Left wants much more than that. They want sex to be irrelevant, period.
I was once debating same sex marriage, at a large state university. I was the only person on the panel who supported the definition of marriage as being between a man and a woman. I asked one of my opponents whether she thought gender were a relevant category for parenting. I expected that she would be too embarrassed to say no. But in that Leftist-dominated environment, she came right out and admitted that she thought men and women were completely interchangeable as parents.
The widespread support for opposite-sex marriage is founded on precisely on this point. Most Americans intuitively understand that mothers and fathers are different, and that kids need both. Claiming that same sex couples can be married is claiming that sex is irrelevant to parenting. No one outside of a university really believes that.
But an intuitive understanding is not good enough to sustain us through the arguments that are coming our way in the Culture Wars. We have to articulate what we believe and why. We have to understand that the very concept of gender and sex is under attack.
The Left believes that sex is irrelevant to parenting, to child-rearing and child-bearing, to marriage and even to sex itself. Judging by the rhetoric on college campuses, their goal is for each and every person to be indifferent as to whether they have sex with an opposite sex partner or with a same sex partner.
Since this kind of gender equality can never be achieved, the Left can position itself for unlimited regulation of virtually every kind of behavior. If you accept the premise that all differences between men and women are socially constructed and that we are morally obligated to deconstruct all these differences, you give the Left carte blanche for endless intervention into the most intimate details of people's lives.
Our challenge is to reconnect with the timeless values that have allowed men and women to cooperate with each other through the ages. We can acknowledge that men and women are different, without succumbing to the urge to dominate or bully each other. Men and women can complement each other, rather than compete with each other. But we will never manage this feat, unless we first realize what we are up against. The Left's demand for equality must be exposed for the power grab that it is.

Well then I think regular expressions might be the way to go there possibly. I am not sure though.
Maybe something like this ?
<title>Select All</title>
This is the Javascript subforum, you want to ask this in the Java subforum. Javascript is not Java.
No problem, and have "fun" debugging. Just kidding, I personally find debugging kind of fun because I am learning as I do it most of the time.
Firebug is good. It is for Firefox if you have FF for your browser. It is free.
Javascript Editor isn't free I don't think, but here is the link.
Thanks for the further clarifcations, guys ! :D
As I reread your original post, I am thinking that maybe they are the same, you make a good point. Maybe they are just named differently so that the resultant code is much clearer to read, such as...
My bad, sorry. Well that is clearly an interesting point. :p
Usually you would use setInterval() so that you can repeat a set of instructions, where by using setTimeout(), you would use it for executing instructions once and then ending. Also when using...
This one would be easier to follow, sorry for the double-post but I couldn't edit the last one....
Maybe something like this using "regular expressions" ?
function checkPhone(strPhone)
var regPhone = /^(\+\d)*\s*(\(\d{3}\)\s*)*\d{3}(-{0,1}|\s{0,1})\d{2}(-{0,1}|\s{0,1})\d{2}$/;
LOL ! I wish I could ask a question, debug, and resolve ALL my own issues like the above poster. Good for you, RedSpider ;)
Sway ! JMRKER has requested that you actually show your code, it will most assuredly help you to a quicker solution. ;)
Regarding the above line, 1000 (milliseconds) equals 1 second, not one minute. 60x that is 60000 milliseconds, which is one minute.
Great !
I just downloaded and installed IE8 so I am not aware of issues yet.
Well I copied and pasted this into Notepad to get a better look, it looks like to me that you might have been missing the last three curly braces, I put them in now. Maybe that will help some ?
Ahhh it is all clear as day now, thank you ! Oh and the only other thing, no it isn't the "blow me bar" which is what I will call it from now on as well, ha ha.
No, I did a screenshot before of...
That is new to me, thank you :)
First off, one off-point suggestion: I would use this type of syntax as this is more up to date for creating Javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">
as opposed to what you have now.
Well I was able to load the page, but I still received that message from my antivirus. Anyway, I ignored the warning and viewed it. I saw the form and tried it out.
Then I noticed one...
Yeah, I can see how you might have thought I was a bit ungrateful - that isn't it at all ! I just thought maybe something had attached itself blah blah blah, let's let bygones be bygones ;)
I updated the code since the last post to give an alert box for the end of month part ...
1. Wasn't rude if you think about it, I just stated something...
2. I do apologize as I reread your last post, astupidname, and even though , yes, I can read code, I just wanted to say...
This will give you the phrase for each of the days; for the month part you can use something similar.

The Occupy Movement has not been on my radar much since it took to the streets on September 17, 2011. I've found it difficult to identify with their stated goals and tactics, though I certainly sympathize with the frustration expressed over the economic direction of the country. Today I learned that earlier this week the Occupy Movement in New York City marked the 300th anniversary of the city's first slave market, which happened to be located on Wall Street near Pearl and Water. On the face of it you may not see anything suspicious; after all, it looks like they are encouraging the community and the nation to remember an aspect of the city's past that is all too often ignored. The organization, including Chris Cobb and a small group of mainly white protesters along with City Council member Jumaane Williams have organized a petition to place historic markers to commemorate the neighborhood's ties to the history of slavery.
While there doesn't seem to be anything problematic, if you listen closely there is actually something quite disturbing about the way in which the Occupy Movement has chosen to frame this lesson in history and memory. Here is a short excerpt from the Huffington Post:
Cobb, who is white, said he sees clear connections between Wall Street's role as an engine of the slave trade, the public's ignorance of that history and what he describes as corporate America's current exploitation of poor and middle-class workers. As Occupy Wall Street protesters have been evicted form public spaces across the country, the movement has shifted from static occupations to sporadic actions. Those efforts include occupying vacant and foreclosed homes, as well as attempts to shut down ports and to call attention to the situation of workers inside such esteemed intuitions as the auction house Sotheby's.
"We were in the theory phase before the raid [on Zuccotti Park]. Now we are in the action phase, responding to the theory we were talking about," Cobb said. Cobb sees the move to recognize and mark the slave market space as a natural next step in the effort to expose the evils of economic inequality. "It's hard to talk about race with white people in general, because there are a lot of misunderstandings," said Cobb. "But I think there is a place where a conversation can begin, and that is with fairness. It's only fair that there be some recognition here."
My concern is with the way in which the history of slavery and the slave trade in New York City is being connected to the agenda and economic outlook of the Occupy Movement. The petition itself says very little about the history that they wish to mark, but it is the close comparison made between the economic hardships that too many Americans are currently facing and slavery itself that is truly disturbing. We can certainly draw connections between Wall Street, the slave trade, the public's ignorance, and the current economic hardships faced by middle-class workers, but that doesn't necessarily mean that we will learn anything interesting. In fact, I would suggest that such vague comparisons have little to do with history at all.

McKinlay's descriptions of the cupcakes in Mel and Angie's shop are guaranteed to make the reader salivate — fortunately the recipes are included in the back of the book. Engaging characters, hilarious situations, old movie quotes and, oh yes, a dead body in a hot tub make this a great read, even if it is pretty easy to figure out "whodunit."
Mel's mother hasn't gone out with a new man in over 30 years, so when her beau is murdered in the middle of their first date, Mel, Angie and Tate are determined to find the killer. While Angie falls in love with the victim's rock-star son, Mel's love life with Joe is going nowhere. And Tate isn't exactly sure what he's done to make Angie so angry. With everything happening in and around Fairy Tale Cupcakes, the trio almost forgets the raffle they've organized in honor of Valentine's Day. (PRIME CRIME, Jan., 240 pp., $6.99)

New numbers from the 2014 American Community Survey show that the population of St. Charles County has grown by about 5 percent since 2010, from an estimated 361,602 to an estimated 379,493. Demographics analyst and Saint Louis University professor Ness Sandoval points to the county's relatively low cost of living as the cause of the growth. Reputation And The Economy Explain Why Latinos In St. Louis Are Comparatively Few By Camille Phillips • Jan 22, 2015 Camille Phillips | St.Louis Public Radio At Holy Trinity Catholic Parish in St. Ann, the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe is cause for major celebration. The north St. Louis County church honored the patron saint of Mexico last month with a special mass attended by more than 300 people, many of them Hispanic. When the church bell struck noon, the parishioners processed around the church with an icon of the patron saint, singing songs in Spanish, led by a mariachi band. Inside the sanctuary, dancers in red moved to the beat of a drum, and the priest gave a blessing to the children. Is Time Running Out To Address The World's Population Explosion? By Camille Phillips • May 20, 2014 media photo In "Countdown: Our Last, Best Hope for a Future on Earth," author Alan Weisman explored what it would take to bring the world's population down to a sustainable level. The book is a sequel of sorts to Weisman's bestselling "The World Without Us." The idea of "The World Without Us," said Weisman, was to see how nature could recover from the effects of climate change without humans around to get in the way. But his hope in writing the book was to inspire the discovery of a way to add humans back into the equation. Census Update: Population Shifts In St. Louis Continue Same Path By Maria Altman • Mar 27, 2014 (Credit: Sxc.hu Haap Media Ltd) The population trends in the St. Louis metropolitan area continued in 2013, according to numbers released today by the U.S. Census Bureau. The census estimates the city of St. Louis had 696 fewer people in July of 2013 than at the same time the previous year, 0.22 percent drop. At the same time surrounding counties in Missouri added population. Saint Louis University sociology professor Onésimo Sandoval studies demography and said the numbers didn't surprise him. The structure of cities across the U.S. is changing, Sandoval said. Plato, Mo., sits at center of nation's population By The Associated Press & Kelsey Proud • Mar 24, 2011 View Mean Center of U.S. Population 2010 in a larger map It's official: The new center of the U.S. population is in Missouri, about 2.7 miles northeast of the village of Plato (see above for location). The Census Bureau said Thursday that steady migration to the Sun Belt had pushed the site roughly 30 miles southwest of the previous location near Edgar Springs, Mo. It is the fourth Missouri town to hold the distinction. Plato, located in Texas County, had a 2010 population of 109 people. 2010 U.S. Census data released for Illinois By Kelsey Proud • Feb 15, 2011 Illinois - 2010 U.S. Census Population Data The U.S. Census Bureau released Illinois population and demographic data today.

Indeed, here are some of the reasons these five good men give to explain why they voted against the fiscal cliff deal:
Sen. Paul explains: "…there's no objective evidence that we are good with money up here [in Washington], so we shouldn't send more money up here; we should leave more money in the private sector. Now Milton Friedman recognized this when he said: 'Nobody spends someone else's money as wisely as you spend your own.' That in a nutshell, that in a once sentence, explains to you why the private sector is more efficient than the public sector; [in] the public sector…it's not their money…that's why they [politicians] spend a trillion more than they have each year… And guess what? When you raise taxes on two percent of the people, there's a chance you don't get more revenue."
Sen. Shelby broke down the political situation: "…I believe you never know — if we would have held out, maybe it would have done something. The pressure was building on the president to do something. He certainly doesn't want us to go into recession. But we need fundamental tax reform. We need to reform our entitlements. We need to look at the spending ledger."
Sen. Rubio explained his vote thus: "Thousands of small businesses, not just the wealthy, will now be forced to decide how they'll pay this new tax and, chances are, they'll do it by firing employees, cutting back their hours and benefits, or postponing the new hire they were looking to make. …Of course, many Americans will be relieved in the short term that their taxes won't go up. However in the long run, they will be hurt when employers pass on to them one of the largest tax hikes in decades."
Sen. Lee tweeted his viewpoint: "Even the best #fiscalcliff deal will leave 99% of a dysfunctional system intact."
And Sen. Grassley tweeted: "When will Wash start work to control spending? Deal failed 2 do so& President made clear he wants more tax increases. Yet prob is spending"
Let's give these five good men a round of applause. And let's only entrust men and women like them with political power.

Come In and Don't Feel Welcome
Ramesh Ponnuru has a column in Time pondering the Republicans' immigration dilemma, especially as it concerns the Hispanic vote. Though a moderate immigration restrictionist himself, he concludes, "Republicans have to offer Hispanics more than a fence." It seems to me that the GOP itself is fenced in on the issue. The Republicans who are the most welcoming of immigrants also support immigration policies that undermine the cultural and economic assimilation that would make them more likely to vote Republican on a regular basis. The Republicans who support policies that encourage assimilation too frequently sound like they are merely hostile toward immigrants.
It isn't easy sound pro-immigrant while being pro-immigration control in any serious sense, so perhaps it is unsurprising that few Republicans have succeeded at doing so. Instead the GOP immigration stalemate produces the worst of both possible worlds: being perceived as hostile to immigrant groups without achieving effective enforcement or assimilation. The GOP's McCain-Tancredo good cop/bad cop routine essentially says, "Please come in, but we really don't want you here."

Reviews for Media Island International Dtd 0391
Media Island has supported countless other projects through fiscal sponsorships, providing space, and by promoting a networking philosophy of supporting existing efforts rather than only our own. The larger issue of media control by corporations affects most other issues. Media Island has tried to tie under-reporting of issues to the conflicts of interest underlying media ownership and interlocking directorships.

Media Island operates a networking space and community alternative library in downtown Olympia Washington. Locally our location serves as a nexus for community organizations to mingle, have meetings and work parties. We also run a low power fm licensed radio station which broadcasts as KOWA 106.5. While operating the networking center and radio station we also work on national issues and international issues through our website, our fiscal sponsorships and conferences. Currently we are working on funding a human rights accompanier to Honduras, supporting Black Mesa Indigenous Resistance, are a partner with national and local groups on Latin American Solidarity issues and immigrant rights issues, work on front line indigenous support, environmental causes and social justice activities.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
We brought 25 people to the US Social Forum the summer of 2010.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Get paid staff and improve funding. I am incredibly proud how we currently do everything that we do with no paid staff and no funding.
The part of Media Island's mission which seeks to help increase the flow of under-published information is appropriate given the increasing corporate control of media.

fact is that we have ALWAYS had a progressive tax system in this country, since the inception of the current tax system, it has NEVER changed.

Democrats seeking nomination for the 2008 Presidential election must think the American people are pretty gullible. How else can one explain the location and the format they've chosen for their next national debate?
You see, on Monday, July 23rd, the South Carolina Democratic Party is hosting all the candidates at the Citadel. They arranged this knowing that an audience of uniformed cadets would attend, so as to offer the national television audience a tacit military endorsement for their leftist, anti-military positions.
What's worse is my fellow students at the Citadel won't even be allowed to ask questions of the candidates. They are to be seen but not heard, as all questions for the debate must be submitted in advance through the internet site YouTube. CNN is televising the debate and will have the prerogative to ignore tough questions, such as the candidates' views on the military.
Liberals have a long history of undercutting our military recruiting efforts and scuttling every piece of legislation that gives our armed forces the necessary tools to defend America. They do not seem to understand that, regardless how one feels about the current war itself, complete support for the members of our armed forces AND their mission is needed so as not to dishonor anyone in the military. Or, if they do, debating at The Citadel seems distastefully ironic.
Citadel Cadets deserve to hear these candidates answer the questions that concern us, particularly since they are exploiting our school and our distinguished heritage of selfless national service for their own personal political gain.
These candidates all declare to "support the troops," but we need to examine what they have done to see if these oft-heard words ring true.
While dodging the call to serve during Vietnam, Bill Clinton wrote that he "loathed" the military. Have any of these candidates, particularly Hillary, ever publicly condemned Bill's statement or his draft-dodging actions?
What about the words of John Kerry, who has stated our armed forces are in the business of "terrorizing kids and children"?
In my opinion, these candidates must publicly condemn the words of their party's last presidential contender and last president if they expect anyone to buy their supposed "support." But, beyond their words, what have these candidates actually done to improve our nation's defenses?
When was the last time they voted to fund modernizing battlefield equipment and increasing the availability of combat replacement parts and supplies?
When was the last time they voted to offer improved military pay and benefits or to reduce, or even eliminate, the taxes paid by members of the armed forces?
W. Stovall Witte III is a junior class cadet at The Citadel: The Military College of South Carolina. Witte is active in Young America's Foundation's programs and a student leader on campus.

Melissa Urbain recognized by her peers for her professionalism and compassion
San José
On May 14, 2014, Melissa Urbain, an eighth grade teacher at John Muir Middle School, was named the San José Unified Teacher of the Year for the 2013-2014 school year. Ms. Urbain teaches English language arts and Inside Intervention classes.
Ms. Urbain's was recognized for guiding and encouraging her students academically while also nurturing their growth into young adults. "Melissa is the true definition of what its means to be an advocate for students, especially for students who need more attention and love," said John Muir principal Gloria Marchant. "She is dynamic, gets things done, and when asked what makes her happy, she says, 'What makes me happy is to help students and teachers.'"
At the May 14 event, San José Unified and the San José Teachers Association recognized 38 teachers who were named Teacher of the Year at their school site. Nominated by peers, these teachers were selected because of their instructional excellence, devotion to students, and contributions to a positive school climate.
Each site nominee was then interviewed by a panel of peers and administrators to determine the District's winner.
