In October of 2007 KRNV News Channel 4 in Reno NV aired a story that grabbed national attention. U.S. Army veteran Jim Brossard heard that a bar in downtown Reno was flying a Mexican flag above a U.S. flag. KNRV recorded him angrily removing and confiscating the American flag without the owner's permission; illustrating the frustration that many feel towards Latino emigrants who come to the US but refuse to assimilate to its culture. Fortunately for Brossard, the Business owner did not press charges. This incident is an insight into the tension that exists in towns across the state where a large number of Mexican immigrants reside. The tension between immigrants and Home grown Americans can be minimized if people would simply remember their manners.
The Rapid Increase in Latino Immigrants
The Spanish population in Nevada has grown over the last 20 years at a surprising rate. Being raised there and living in Reno for a time back in 98, has enabled me to have a homegrown perspective. My paradigm was updated in the summer of 2009 when I spent 3 month bouncing back and forth between Reno and Winnemucca visiting my family. The number of Latino's was surprising. If you want to work there today, you may want to learn to speak Spanish.
According to UNLV (University of Nevada, Las Vegas), the 2000 census recorded that the Latino people accounted for 19.7 % of the states population, that is approximately 393,970 folks. In 2010, Nevada's Latino population increased to 737,221 or 27.1% of the state population. That means that the number of Latinos in Nevada increased by 82% between 2000 and 2010.
Not surprising, the 2010 senses also reported that 7.2% of Nevada's population are illegal immigrants. That is approximately 190,000 people who are not supposed to be there. According to Slate.com, This 7.2% represents about 10% of Nevada's labor force. All Americans, legal or home grown, should be concerned about that number; especially if it continues to go up at such an alarming rate.
The Anger is Understandable
Legal or illegal, we can understand why people want to come to the United States. Everyone understands their desire for prosperity. When you consider the conditions that many of the Mexican immigrants leave behind, you realize that their migration is often an act of desperation. However, trouble comes when they come over illegally and/or refuse to integrate into the American culture, they refuse to learn English and care little about the affairs of their community. The flying of this flag above the stars and stripes is the perfect example of their civil disconnect. The anger the Army veteran displayed is understandable.
The anger is understandable, but not necessary justified. There is a difference between an act of defiance and act of ignorance. It doesn't appear that anyone tried reasoning with the business owner before ripping down and stealing his personal property. Mexican immigrants are not known to be trouble makers they are usually very generous and easy to get along with; they may not have thought this through. It is likely that the bar owner simply illustrated his ignorance of the American conscience.
Let's Work Together.
Come on, lets use some common sense. Remember, unless you are a native American Indian, at one time your family was a immigrant to this country. America is known for its diversity of culture and beliefs. A great deal of tension between Americans and foreign immigrants arise simply out of misunderstandings. We Americans need to use wisdom and patience before allowing an insult to move us to jump on patriotic horses. The immigrant must make every effort to assimilate into the American culture; allowing mutual respect to be the foundation of the civil relationship. In this way, we can work together to make our communities friendly and safe.

2010 - the beginning of a new decade in the 21st century. What a good time to remember the men and women who have served in our armed forces or currently are serving either at home or abroad.
A primary reason, as local author and Korean War veteran Arnold Rosen reminds us, is that time is of the essence for talking with and honoring our World War II veterans. Their numbers are dwindling. The moment is now.
Andrew Carroll, director of the Library of Congress Veterans History Project, reinforces what Rosen says in his introduction of "Forever a Soldier: Unforgettable Stories of Wartime Service [1]," by Tom Wiener: "It is crucial that these stories and profiles are told so we never forget what they have done and the sacrifices they have made." And while most veterans are reluctant to tell their stories because they want to forget all the horrific moments, Carroll says that they must tell their stories so that "the rest of us" do not forget.
"Keeping Memories Alive: Our Aging Veterans Tell Their Story [2]," by Arnold Rosen: This is the first of two books that Rosen wrote on the subject. He compiled 36 interviews with veterans, or their surviving spouses, all of whom have lived or currently are living in Sun City Hilton Head. Thirty-three of them served during World War II, the Korean War or the Vietnam War. Three of the veterans were on active duty between wars.
"Before It's Too Late: Our Aging Veterans Tell Their Stories [3]," by Arnold Rosen: This is Rosen's second book of interviews. There is more focus on World War II here. Thirty out of the 47 profiles are veterans of World War II. Not all of the profiles are those of Sun City veterans, as they were in his previous book. As the author makes very clear, any oral history done with World War II veterans needs to happen now -- we cannot wait as their numbers are rapidly becoming smaller. And they do have wonderful stories to tell. Not every aspect of war is grim. Rosen's interviewees mixed humor and love along with a healthy dose of pride, not to mention modesty.
"Voices of War: Stories of Service from the Home Front and the Front Lines [4]," by Tom Wiener: This is the first volume in the Library of Congress Veterans of History Project. It is an oral history, organized by themes of war, and includes letters, photographs and sketches from U.S. veterans who served in World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam and Persian Gulf Wars.The project's Web site is www.loc.gov/vets [5].
"Forever a Soldier: Unforgettable Stories of Wartime Service [6]," by Tom Wiener: This is the second volume in the Library of Congress project.Like "Voices of War," it is an oral history organized by themes of war.Wiener states that for this volume he chose those accounts of war which were not necessarily the most gruesome or horrific.
These are just four titles available on the subject. Whether it is songs from the Revolutionary War, letters and diaries from the Civil War era, letters written by troops who have served in Afghanistan or what children today have to say about war, there is plenty of material available from the Beaufort County Library system and the SCLends Consortium. Please access the online SCLends Catalog for specific titles on these subjects. Even though they may not be owned by one of the Beaufort County Library branches, they still can be requested by placing a hold.

Heterozygous PMS2 germline mutations are associated with Lynch syndrome. Up to one third of these mutations are genomic deletions. Their detection is complicated by a pseudogene (PMS2CL), which - owing to extensive interparalog sequence exchange - closely resembles PMS2 downstream of exon 12. A recently redesigned multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) assay identifies PMS2 copy number alterations with improved reliability when used with reference DNAs containing equal numbers of PMS2- and PMS2CL-specific sequences. We selected eight such reference samples - all publicly available - and used them with this assay to study 13 patients with PMS2-defective colorectal tumors. Three presented deleterious alterations: an Alu-mediated exon deletion; a 125-kb deletion encompassing PMS2 and four additional genes (two with tumor-suppressing functions); and a novel deleterious hybrid PMS2 allele produced by recombination with crossover between PMS2 and PMS2CL, with the breakpoint in intron 10 (the most 5' breakpoint of its kind reported thus far). We discuss mechanisms that might generate this allele in different chromosomal configurations (and their diagnostic implications) and describe an allele-specific PCR assay that facilitates its detection. Our data indicate that the redesigned PMS2 MLPA assay is a valid first-line option. In our series, it identified roughly a quarter of all PMS2 mutations. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Why Does God Allow Suffering?
Online Connection Card
You can fill out the white card in front of you OR this form
Today's Text
James 1:2-4, James 1:12 NASB
Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.
(A) All of us have experienced hurts that make no sense (B) The Devil will use these to cause us to lose trust in God
Dominant Thought
We want to search for understanding of how a loving, all powerful God can stand by and let innocent people suffer
He is GOD and I Am Not
Psalm 100:3 NASB
Know that the Lord Himself is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
How could we ever UNDERSTAND the infinite, all-powerful, all-knowing creator of all things?
Deuteronomy 29:29, Ecclesiastes 11:5, Isaiah 55:8-9, 1 Corinthians 2:16 NASB
"The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law. Just as you do not know the path of the wind and how bones are formed in the womb of the pregnant woman, so you do not know the activity of God who makes all things. "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," declares the Lord. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts. For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.
I am created for God's GLORY
Isaiah 43:7, Ephesians 2:10 NASB
Everyone who is called by My name, And whom I have created for My glory, Whom I have formed, even whom I have made." For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
God has never made a MISTAKE!
Psalm 18:30, Isaiah 32:4 NASB
As for God, His way is blameless; The word of the Lord is tried; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. The mind of the hasty will discern the truth, And the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak clearly.
He wants to have a RELATIONSHIP with us
Ephesians 1:3-8, Ephesians 1:11-12 NASB
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace which He lavished on us. In all wisdom and insight also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will, to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of His glory.
SOURCES of Suffering
Comes from man's free CHOICES
Genesis 3:1-19 NASB
Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, "Indeed, has God said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden'?" The woman said to the serpent, "From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat from it or touch it, or you will die.'" The serpent said to the woman, "You surely will not die! For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings. They heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. Then the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?" He said, "I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself." And He said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?" The man said, "The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me from the tree, and I ate." Then the Lord God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" And the woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate." The Lord God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, Cursed are you more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you will go, And dust you will eat All the days of your life; And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel." To the woman He said, "I will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you will bring forth children; Yet your desire will be for your husband, And he will rule over you." Then to Adam He said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat from it'; Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you will eat of it All the days of your life. "Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; And you will eat the plants of the field; By the sweat of your face You will eat bread, Till you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return."
For God to remove all suffering, He would have to eliminate man's free will to make choices.
Sometimes our SINFUL choices
Romans 2:5-9 NASB
But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who will render to each person according to his deeds: to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek,
Sometimes the sinful choices of OTHERS
2 Peter 2:9-14 NASB
then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment, and especially those who indulge the flesh in its corrupt desires and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they do not tremble when they revile angelic majesties, whereas angels who are greater in might and power do not bring a reviling judgment against them before the Lord. But these, like unreasoning animals, born as creatures of instinct to be captured and killed, reviling where they have no knowledge, will in the destruction of those creatures also be destroyed, suffering wrong as the wages of doing wrong. They count it a pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are stains and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, as they carouse with you, having eyes full of adultery that never cease from sin, enticing unstable souls, having a heart trained in greed, accursed children;
Sometimes we suffer because God is DISCIPLINING His children
Hebrews 12:5-11 NASB
and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons, "My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, Nor faint when you are reproved by Him; For those whom the Lord loves He disciplines, And He scourges every son whom He receives." It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of spirits, and live? For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness. All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.
God Came Down to SUFFER With Us
Isaiah 53:3-6, Hebrews 2:16-18 NASB
He was despised and forsaken of men, A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; And like one from whom men hide their face He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed. All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him. For assuredly He does not give help to angels, but He gives help to the descendant of Abraham. Therefore, He had to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.

I found this book when looking for either an Iranian or English book which was available in translation in his or my language to discuss with my Iranian eMail friend. Anyone read it?
I've heard lots of good things about it, and I would like to read it... I realise that's not especially helpful, but if you do read it, I'd love to hear what you think!
Thanks for responding; I will let you know how I like it (I have it on order). Should be interesting to get an Iranian's view too. He says there was a television show based on the book!

PULLMAN, Wash. - Cory Lebrun was 3-for-3 with three RBI to lead Gonzaga past Washington State 10-8 in nonconference baseball, Tuesday night at Bailey-Brayton Field.
The Bulldogs (12-6-1) built a 7-0 lead with three runs in the first against Washington State (11-8) starter Chris McDowell (0-1) and four runs in the fourth off Cougar relievers Sean Hartnett and Matt Bower.
"Our guys don't realize what it takes to compete every night," Washington State Head Coach Donnie Marbut said. "There was not one part of the game that we did well tonight."
The Cougars were blanked through five innings and limited to five hits against Gonzaga starter Kenny Smith (1-0) before exploding for five runs in the sixth on four hits.
Trace Tam Sing to pull Washington State within 7-5.
In the seventh, the Cougars loaded the bases with zero outs against Gonzaga reliever Billy Moon on a walk to Collin Slaybaugh and singles by Nelubowich and Tanielu. With one out, Jason Monda was hit by a pitch to force in a run, but Moon retired Jones and Sagdal to protect a one-run lead.
Gonzaga tallied an unearned run in the eighth against Kellen Camus, but the Cougars responded in their half of the inning. Tam Sing singled and pinch hitter Trek Stemp walked to open the frame. Arturo Reyes came out of the Bulldogs' bullpen and recorded the first out when Slaybaugh bunted foul on three-straight pitches.
Nelubowich singled to load the bases and the Cougars scored a run on a wild pitch as Tanielu fanned for the second out. Reyes retired Rosen on a ground out with the tying and go-ahead runs in scoring position to end the threat.
In the ninth, Gonzaga scored two runs against J.D. Leckenby when Washington State failed to complete a 6-4-3 double play. Monda led off the bottom half of the inning with a single, took second on a ground out and scored on Sagdal's single. Reyes notched his first save when he induced Tam Sing to ground into a double play.
Freshman Chris McDowell made his first-collegiate start on the mound...sophomore Sam Triece pitched 3 1/3 inning of shutout relief...Cougars open a four-game series at home against Brown, Friday at 6 p.m.

Confession-tried a fad, and didn't succeed.
Friday, October 08, 2010
So, here it is, a little over 3 months since my last blog. You might wonder where it is that I have gone, and I will tell you. To fad diet world. Yes, I was sucked into a "2 shakes a day and one healthy meal" diet and got no results. Now, it is not the famous diet you here of all the time, SF, it was of a different name, but same concept. I won't divulge the name, but I will admit the fact that I had no results, was not because of the program but because of me. I cannot do shakes! I am a food junky and I need food. Shakes don't cut it.
No matter if a shake can satisfy me, I still want some food. So, I'd have my shake and half a meal with it. I would much rather have a chicken sandwich for lunch than a chocolate protein shake. Sure, I would go for a week and successfully do the program but the snacking I did, would cancel out the great success I'd had that day. So, I decided to quit buying the shakes and just follow the concept. Basically, increase your protein intake and monitor your carb intake. Not a low carb diet but a moderate, logical amount. And, when I compared it to what Sparkpeople suggeested, it was almost the same. So, why not return and watch the success I can have eating real food and not shakes.
So, here I am with a few days under my belt. And, I have to admit, this is the first time I have ever done spark and reached so many of my nutritional goals! I am so excited! I believe that because of this, the next time I step on that scale, I should see a reduction.
I have even started doing the strength training and cardio exercise videos that Spark has to offer. I have not done that in the past. I have to keep it up. I am not meeting my exercise goals, but I never have. However, I am closer than I ever have been. I am going to keep increasing that to reach those goals as well. I am truly excited about this! I think I may have finally figured it out. Yep, it's only taken 9 years, but I think it will work.
Now, back to trackin' those goals and havin' the faith and determination to do it!

Woo Hoo.!!!! Thats why "Diets" like that don't work. You are going to be so happy losing weight the right way. By making good food choices and controling your portions.
It's too bad ypou had to waste time and money on the "Fad" diet.
But you had to experience it for your self.
Good for you on the success you have had so far.
You can do it.

I guess it's "live and learn." Good for you for tracking. That's what's helping me.
Exercise goals are harder to track and reach. I really don't understand their whole system, but maybe I will soon.
You sound really determined!

There are many options today for straightening your teeth, but few can offer the comfort, convenience, and confidence you can enjoy with Invisalign. ® You can be confident and truly enjoy your smile without the embarrassment and irritation of metal braces in your mouth. There are no brackets to darken your smile, no irritated lips or cheeks, no wires to tighten, and no worries about mouth injury while playing sports.
Invisalign® takes a modern approach to straightening teeth, using a custom-made series of aligners created for you. They are made of smooth, comfortable, and virtually invisible plastic that you wear over your teeth. Wearing the aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into place, based on the exact movements your dentist or orthodontist plans out for you.
Invisalign can eliminate crowding or large spaces between your teeth. Even complex cases such as overbites, underbites, and crossbites can be treated. Typically, Invisalign cases take about a year from start to finish. Invisalign is a very cost-effective alternative to braces; in fact, the average cost of Invisalign is very affordable for most patients. You will see your dentist every 6-8 weeks to review your progress, and receive additional retainers every few visits. Treatment time and the number of retainers you receive will vary case by case.
Many people ask, "Does Invisalign really work?" It sure does. Invisalign patients can expect to see results just as effective as those who opt for standard metal braces along with a better sense of comfort as your teeth align. Invisalign is great for teens and adults who need a way to straighten their teeth without the irritation and maintenance associated with metal braces.

More than 70 percent of children between the ages of five and 14 ride bicycles. In-line skating and skateboarding are also very popular among this age group. Although a great form of exercise, riding a bike, in-line skating, or skateboarding without protective gear can be dangerous. Next to motor vehicle-related injuries, bicycles injure more children than any other consumer product, according to the National SAFE KIDS Campaign.
The most common (and often most serious) injury sustained with a bike, on in-line skates, scooters, or while skateboarding, is a head injury. Head injuries are the leading cause of death and disability in these types of crashes. Wearing a helmet can reduce the risk of death or injury and reduce the severity of the injury in the event of a crash. However, even with aggressive bicycle helmet programs and laws, no more than 40 percent of children riding bicycles reportedly wear helmets.
Wearing a helmet whenever riding a bicycle, in-line skates, or a skateboard should be an automatic habit. Helmets should fit properly on your child's head and also be fastened correctly. A properly-fastened and fitting helmet does not move around on the head.
Teaching your children bicycle, in-line skating, and skateboarding safety could save lives.
Bicycling is very popular - in fact, it is estimated that 57 million Americans ride bikes of many different types. In order to have safe and enjoyable bicycling, cyclists of all ages should follow safe riding habits. Children and adults should always wear helmets when riding bicycles.
Many children (and adults) resist wearing a helmet. Point out that athletes wear helmets for their protection, and, for children, suggest ways the helmet could be decorated to personalize it.
In-line skating is another popular sport on wheels for many people. Even experienced in-line skaters can crash and sustain injuries. The following recommendations are from the National Safety Council and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC):
Skateboards are very popular among children ages 5 to 14. Skateboards should never be used on surface streets. Even experienced skateboarders can fall, so learning how to fall safely can help reduce the risk of severe injuries. The following are recommendations from the National Safety Council regarding how to fall correctly:
Other safety precautions to take when skateboarding include the following:

TUCSON, Ariz.--Becky Lemke pitched a five-inning no-hitter and UA's batters smacked 11 hits to pace No. 4-ranked Arizona to a 9-1 victory over No. 5 Southern Mississippi in its season opener and game two of the Pepsi Softball Classic.
Lemke's own throwing error led to the Lady Eagles' only run in the fifth when she followed the error with three walks to force in a run.
Wildcat outfielder Nicole Giordano singled and later scored on a wild pitch to pace UA to a 1-0 lead in the third and UA first baseman Jennie Finch hit a solo home run in the fourth. Lindsey Collins added a two-run homer to left-center in the fifth for the Cats (1-0). UA scored seven times in the frame to end the game on the mercy rule.
Southern Miss dropped to 0-2 after losing earlier in the day to Washington, 9-4.
Pepsi Classic Game No. 2:
Arizona 9, Southern Mississippi 1
Gonzales, Blades (5) and Peters. Lemke and Collins. W - Lemke (1-0). L - Gonzales (0-1). HR: Arizona, Finch (1), Collins (1).
Pepsi Classic Game No. 1:
Washington 9, Southern Mississippi 4
Blades, Bohnenstiehl (4) and Peters. Spediacci, Peters (6), Graves (7) and Giordano. W - Spediacci (1-0). L - Blades (0-1). HR: Washington, Clark (1), Giordano (1), Helgeland (1). U - Marciulis, Johnson.
No. 2-ranked Washington made the most of six hits by socking three home runs in a 9-4 victory over No. 5 Southern Mississippi in both teams' season opener in the Arizona Pepsi Softball Classic.
UW's Jaime Clark and Jeanine Giordano hit solo homers off USM All-American Courtney Blades in the second inning and Erin Helgeland knocked a two-run home run off reliever Nicole Bohnenstiehl in the fifth.
UW's Jennifer Spediacci earned the victory, allowing four hits and three runs through five innings. Lady Eagles' second baseman Colleen Spencer hit a one-out three-run double in the fifth but was caught off second to turn back the rally.


text: Contra was the album where Vampire Weekend discovered they could do just about anything: dubby, slo-mo gorgeousness, clattering pseudo-punk, African guitar riffs, choral swells, songs that rhyme "horchata" with "Aranciata" and "Masada." Ezra Koenig wrote dense lyrics about young love and Third World strife, but no matter how meditative he got, his melodic skills never failed him: Rarely do songs this lushly produced feel so buoyant or seem to zip by so quickly. By the time you marvel at the spacy ballad "I Think UR a Contra" or get "Your sword's grown old and rusty/Burnt beneath the rising sun" (from "Giving Up the Gun") stuck in your head, you realize these guys are as much about pure pleasure as anything else.

Lupita Nyong'o and Jared Leto [1] were just two of the celebrities to sit front row at the Miu Miu Fall 2014 runway show [2] in Paris on Wednesday. The duo — who both won Oscars on Sunday — took their seats across from each other, though Jared sweetly made sure to greet his fellow Academy Award winner [3] before the show began. Lupita looked cheerful while chatting it up with her seatmates Margot Robbie, Elizabeth Olsen, Adèle Exarchopoulos, Léa Seydoux, and Elle Fanning and shared cute selfies of the group [4] on Instagram (she also snagged a photo with Rihanna [5]!).
Lupita jetted off to Paris on Monday and was spotted heading through LAX [6] with a brand-new Miu Miu [7] handbag. The 12 Years a Slave star is one of the faces of the brand's Spring campaign [8], and her appearance at the presentation marks her very first Paris Fashion Week outing.

God's Word, which was revealed to Luke, continues with the account of what happened after that day of Pentecost, the day when God poured-out His gift of holy spirit - baptism in holy spirit - by means of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Acts 3:1-3:
3:1But Peter and John ascended into the temple on the hour of prayer, the ninth (hour), .2and some adult-male being-from-the-beginning lame from his mother's womb was lifted-up whom they put daily towards the door of the temple, the (door) being said (as) Beautiful, to ask a merciful-deed from the (people) journeying into the temple, .3who, having seen Peter and John being about to enter into the temple, asked to receive a merciful-deed.
Peter and John were on their way into the temple at the 3:00 p.m. hour of prayer when this man who was lame from birth asked them for a merciful-deed. This lame man was in need and asked to be given alms by mercy, to be bestowed active-relief withholding any merited judgment and punishment from him.
Verses 4-8:
.4But Peter having gazed-intently into him, together with John, said, "You must observe into us," .5and the (man) held-on to them expecting to receive something from them, .6and Peter said, "Silver and gold does not begin-from me, but that-which I have this-thing I give to you - in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene you must walk," .7and having apprehended him with the right hand he raised him up and with-that his steppings and anklebones were made-solid, .8and (he) leaping-out stood and he walked and went together with them into the temple walking and leaping and speaking-in-praise-of God.
Peter and John must have come-in through this temple-entrance on many occasions previously, but on this occasion both Peter and John gazed-intently at him - the holy spirit-life which they both had was working-within them to fix their eyes intently upon this man at this time. Peter is the one who told him that he must observe, pay-attention and contemplate them, not anyone or anything else. Did the man believe what Peter said? Yes. The man paid attention to them expecting to receive something from them.
Again, Peter is the one who speaks and what he is speaking are God's words in this situation being communicated to his mind by his holy spirit-life. He said: "Silver (silver coins, money in general) and gold (gold coins) does not begin (start, originate) from me (I am not the source of money), but what I have this I give to you - in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene you must walk." Some texts include the words "rise up and" before the word "walk."
The action of giving is an unforced presenting or yielding something which one already has to someone else who does not have it yet. In order for Peter to give something to this man, he must have it first. Peter had previously received holy spirit-life and so he had the powerful ability of Christ within him. Now he could give the beneficial effects, resulting from the holy spirit working within him, to another person in accordance with the Christ (refer to I Corinthians 12:7-13).
Also, we should understand that when God talks about something being done "in the name of" something or someone else, it incorporates the fullness of everything involved with the one named. Regarding the name of Jesus Christ, it includes all that the name of "Jesus" and the name of "Christ" represent and stand for. "In the name of Jesus Christ" gives emphasis to Jesus being the Anointed-one, the Messiah, and means: within the cause and sphere of action of all the authoritative-power, ability, workings, etc, that God gave to Jesus when he raised him up out-from the dead-people, and gave him the name that is above every other name, designating the resurrected Jesus being Lord and Christ (refer to Matthew 1:21; Acts 2:21 and 38; 3:6 and 16; 4:7-12, and 30; Romans 1:3 and 4; Ephesians 1:19-23; Philippians 2:9-11; II Thessalonians 3:6). Also refer to Matthew 2:23.
Having spoken to this man, Peter continues to do as his holy spirit is instructing him. He caught him with his right hand and raised him up, and right then (next to, beside what Peter did, immediately) the man's power to step and his anklebones were made firm and stable. And the man, leaping out from where he had been put, stood and walked, and he went together with Peter and John into the temple walking around and leaping (as dancing, springing) and speaking in praise of God!
Yes, the man believed the words that Peter spoke to him and he accepted the help that Peter offered to him in raising him up. Then the man spoke in praise of God, not of Peter nor of John - he knew that Peter had spoken God's words to him and so after he was healed he praised the only true God.
What a great witness carried-out by Peter and John!

A spectacular fireworks extravaganza capped off an explosive 4-0 offensive 2014 season opening performance by the Houston Dynamo over the New England Revolution in front of a record setting crowd at BBVA Compass stadium on Saturday night March 8, 2014. Froward Will Bruin set the tone with the second fastest goal in franchise history ripping a shot past Revolutions goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth in the second minute of play.
Head coach Dominic Kinnear was impressed with his team's performance.
"The guys played excellent. The first half hours was possibly the best I've ever seen this team play," said Kinnear. "That's saying something. It was a great night for us."
In the 13th minute, Will Bruin got number two tucking a shot under the outstretched arms of a diving Shuttleworth. The goal came on a cross from Corey Ashe on the far side of the box. Bruin was at it again in the 23rd minute, this time settling a ball in the box and leaving it for Garcia who knocked it home from 9 yards out.
Bruin was not surprised by the team's performance.
'We know we are a smart confident group going forward, we know we are going to score goals," said Bruin.
New England, the only team with a winning record against the Dynamo in Houston , was not without its chances in the first half. In the 40th minute, the Revs A.J. Soeres knocked one off the post after Diego Fagundez failed to tap one in just inches from the goal line. Four minutes later centerback David Horst knocked away a ball headed for the net that had eluded Dynamo keeper Tally Hall. Hall then punched away the ensuing corner before Horst stymied Fagundez again in the 45th minute.
The first half three goal outburst were the most by a Dynamo squad in a season opener and the four goals for the first game were the most since the franchise opener in 2006 when Brian Ching's four goal performance led Houston to a 5-2 win.
The second half was filled with more opportunities for the both teams. Kelwyn Rowe, the Revolutions young midfielder lifted one over the crossbar in the 60th minute and then hit the crossbar in the 82nd minute of play. Houston had chances in the 61st minutes, the 62nd minute, then ten minutes later in the 72nd minute, the 80th minute and the 90th minutes before Omar Cummings sent home an excuse me header off a shot from Ricardo Clark from twenty yards out.
In the locker room, Giles Barnes summed up what Dynamo fans can expect from this team when he told assembled reporters ""Definitely more excitement to come."
The Dynamo host the Montreal Impact on Saturday, March 15, 2014 in a 7:30p.m. CT match.
Note: Midfielder Tony Cascio went down in the 56th minute but no word yet on the extent of the injury.
Attendance: 22,320 (largest in Dynamo history)
Houston Starting XI- Hall, Sarkodie, Taylor, Horst, Asshe, Cascio, Clark, Davis, Boniek-Garcia, Bruin, Barnes
New England Starting XI - Shuttleworth, Soares, Tierney, Alston, Gonclaves, Rowe, Kobayashi, Caldwell, Fagundez, Mullins, Bunbury
Scoring: Bruin 2' (Sarkodie) Bruin 13' (Ashes), 23' Boniek-Garcia (Bruin), 90'+ Cummings (Clark)

2014 is shaping up to be an exciting year for Lindsey McKeon! In addition to an upcoming guest starring appearance on Lifetime's hit series "Drop Dead Diva" and her recurring role on "Supernatural", the actress can be seen in three films this year. From her role in the romantic comedy, FLOCK OF DUDES to the horror film, INDIGENOUS there is no doubt of McKeon's versatility in her work as an actress. In addition to her full schedule as an actress, McKeon still makes time to give back; she is a part of the host committee for the upcoming Road to Hope charity event that will raise funds and awareness to better the lives of children in Africa who are orphaned as a result of losing one or both parents to Cancer and HIV/AIDS.
In a new interview, we discussed the fund-raiser, her many projects and more!
Congrats on all your projects this year! It seems like you have a lot going on.
Lindsey- Thank you! It's really nice. I'm so incredibly grateful. I have some amazing stuff coming up. I'm really excited about the Tribeca Film Festival. I shot "Drop Dead Diva" in Atlanta not too long ago. Rick Springfield is in it. And also one of the guy's from Rascal Flatts. So it should be a fun episode!
What is your storyline on "Drop Dead Diva"?
Lindsey- I am a band member's girlfriend who seems not very nice. (Laughs) She's kind of gunning for another band member. She's kind of I guess you could say like the Yoko Ono in a way of the episode. It's all in the courtroom. It was fun. It was exciting that I got my lawyer court room dialogue out of the way on the first day. So that's always like, phew I got that behind me. It was fun to play the strong, pit bully kind of character.
A lot of actresses tell me that they like playing the strong woman.
Lindsey- It's so much fun. Because to find a place in you that's doing it; you know every human being is doing what they're doing because they believe in it and it's for a cause. They think they're right. They don't think, 'Oh my god I'm this awful person.' We just see it from the outside and we call you a horrible person or aggressive or whatever. So for me as an actress it's so much fun to get into that human behavior of why does she act this way? But from the outside it just looks like, "Oh she's nasty!"
How did you prepare to get into that mindset?
Lindsey- I think everyone has some place within themselves where they can tap into it. But I always work with a coach. Because it's like with an athlete coach, they help you see more than you can see.
I read you are in an upcoming film called FLOCK OF DUDES with Hilary Duff and Ray Liotta.
Lindsey- It's a fun movie. It's a guy's guy kind of movie. There is romance in it though, so it's still soft. It's very, very comedic. What dudes do when they're together. What's cool about it is these guys have grown up together, they're sort of in a relationship together, and then one of them decides to break up and all their lives completely change. It is a very fun premise watching guys be guys but at the same time be in a relationship with each other. Kind of like, "Why are you calling him? Why didn't you talk to me?" (Laughs)
And I also know you we will be seeing you an upcoming horror film.
Lindsey- I filmed a horror film INDIGENOUS in Panama. Five weeks in the middle of the jungle. It was pretty crazy! The last week we were at the beach, which was stunning and we were all really thankful that we didn't go to the beach first and then the jungle. It would have made it even worse!
Tell me about your short film, Delicious Ambiguity with Arielle Kebbel, that I know is in festivals now.
Lindsey- My character in that film, she is a girlfriend of Lamorne Morris from "New Girl". She is brought over to his friend's engagement party. And madness ensues because what else happens when people are in a relationship at different stages of their lives? Madness! Nobody is just happy go lucky all the time right?! (Laughs) I sort of am put in this position with all of these people that are saying things, not saying things to each other. They're uncomfortable. I'm doing my best to hold my own sitting at that table when I probably just wish I could get out of there and go have some fun with my boyfriend.
That sounds like a fun plot to watch!
Lindsey- It's really great! And there's a great twist in it. And the really fun part was we just got all of our good friends and shot it in one weekend. And now it's in festivals and doing well. It was a fun, productive little weekend for all of us!
How did that idea come about?
Lindsey- The director is a friend of friends and they worked with him before and just talked to a couple of us about doing it and playing the parts. We said we would love to. All the girls have always wanted to work together. We were waiting to find something the four of us could do together. Because we're all great friends and spend a lot of time together and we wanted to be able to work and have it reflect that. And then we decided to put boys in it. I don't know why! (Laughs)
I am sure that's very gratifying for you all to see it now playing in festivals.
Lindsey- It is. It was fun getting it together in a very small amount of time. And now festivals are liking it, which is fantastic.
In addition to all of your films, I know we will be seeing you back on "Supernatural" soon!
Lindsey- I am going up to Canada to do more "Supernatural" next week. I am so excited. This is first of all one of my favorite characters to play. And I just read the script over the weekend and I'm even more excited now because it's a fun little juicy twist. I'm really happy about it!
What makes her one of your favorites? What most appeals to you about her?
Lindsey- What appeals to me most is she has been so many things. Now she is a reaper and an angel at the same time. Maybe they're all one in a same and for me they kind of are. And they're not of this world but they are in this world, and they have the human body to be able walk to around in this world. So for me it's really neat to have that much wisdom, knowledge and awareness from the other world and bring that through this body to this world. That's why I live this character so much. I think that's why I like Sci-Fi movies as well; because I have done so much spiritual learning that I want to be able to bring that to the characters I play and have them be that aware and have that much to offer the world and humanity
It definitely seems like you have played a variety of roles, but do you have a dream role that you would love to play that you haven't yet?
Lindsey- Yes, indeed. I would like to be a peaceful warrior. I would like to do Sci-Fi/action/thriller and be a warrior. That's what I would like!
Any final thoughts to viewers?
Lindsey- I am doing a fundraiser April 14th for a foundation called Road to Hope. RoadtoHopefilm.org is the site. Torrey DeVitto is going to be heading it with me. Arielle Kebbel, my friend Chris Evans is also supporting it; and a bunch of other actors. It will be at Bootsy Bellows in Hollywood. I am excited about that!

Savannah Ghost Tours have been my January review feature and Ghost City Tours is my 3rd of 3 "Best Savannah Ghost Tours". We took the Beyond Good and Evil Tour with Nicodemus and he is by far one of the most entertaining tour guides in Savannah. The hybrid accent (Aussie, English?) and quick witted quips interwoven into his deliciously creepy tales made a perfect balance of spook and history. In 2013 we took over two dozen tours in Savannah and Ghost City Tours def made our top 3, not just for their talent in relating Haunted Savannah, but also for their unique offering of all inclusive ghost hunts in Savannah and beyond. Tim Nealon, the Founder of Ghost City Tours does paranormal investigations in Savannah, Georgia but has also branched out to locations across the country. If you are looking for a well rounded ghost tour or even a paranormal investigation, Ghost City Tours in the way to go.

SCX10 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 1/10 Scale Electric 4WD RTR
Extended Product Information:
The SCX10 was designed to resemble its full sized "scale/1:1" counterparts, yet is still able to perform like the 2.2 AX10 Scorpion. Unlike the AX10 which is purely competition driven, the SCX10 doesn't compromise its look for pure performance although the SCX10 is a more than capable rig, on or off the trail.
The SCX10 uses the same ultra durable transmission and axles as the AX10 Scorpion, but is built around a more realistic or "scale" frame. It also runs smaller, more realistic looking wheels and tires. These trucks are designed to have fun with especially if you have a few friends that have scale rigs. Getting a few guys together and going out for a scale trail run is one of the best things you can do if you're an avid off-roading enthusiast.

John Travolta does not want his rumored gay lover to spill the secrets of their sexual relationship but a judge has now said there is nothing he can to stop it. On Tuesday, EW shared about how this lawsuit turned out for Travolta and obviously he is not happy with these results.
Douglas Gotterba used to work for Travolta's aircraft company for about seven years. He said that there was more than just a working relationship though. Now he wants to tell his side of the story. The way he wants to do it is by releasing a book with what he says are all of the details of their sexual relationship. He already did an interview but it didn't tell everything.
John Travolta didn't want him to have a chance to tell his story but now news is out that he will get to do just that whenever Douglas Gotterba is ready. He will be allowed to do a book or whatever he chooses. Now people have to decide if they believe it or not.
Presiding Justice Arthur Gilbert spoke out saying that the lawsuit was based on "the validity of the asserted termination agreements." He also said in court dockets that were released, "Although the prelitigation letters may have triggered Gotterba's complaint and may be evidence in support of the complaint, they are not the basis of the complaint."
He went on to say that if John Travolta had won then it "would lead to the absurd result that a person receiving a demand letter threatening legal action for breach of contract would be precluded from seeking declaratory relief to determine the validity of the contract. Declaratory relief would be limited to situations where the parties have not communicated their disagreement."

When Jen Eskridge asked us here at Fat Quarterly to be a part of her book tour for her new book Deploy That Fabric, published by Stashbooks, I was intrigued. I am not an army wife but I did grow up with a brother who very nearly did choose the army as a career. He was always dressed in his army corps uniform and I am sure we must have them hidden away in a corner of my parent's house. At the time I was too obsessed with cutting up old 70s curtains to make into psychedelic trousers to even think of the possibilities of using my brother's discarded uniforms. But now having had a copy of Jen's book in my hands – my mind is whirring with possibilties. Next time I head home I will be sure to dig out those old uniforms and get sewing!
Jen's book is packed with 23 projects! There are not many sewing books around that offer such a variety and quantity of great patterns. Jen has patterns for everything ranging from bags and pouches to pillows and quilts. My personal favourite is the Christmas stocking.
All of the patterns are clearly written and are accompanied by many illustrations which leave you in no doubt as to what you are supposed to be doing.
Jen goes into great detail about how to transform your uniform into fabric that you can use for the projects. I am sure a lot of the advice given could be used for recycling all manner of clothing into fabric for your stash. So even if you do not have access to military uniforms the ideas and tips shared in this book would be very useful.
And of course if you really can't get hold of any old uniforms you could always use some of the line Urban Camo by Urban Chiks for Moda. There is even a pink Camo print! I found some by searching on Etsy and it might have slipped into my shopping cart
So would you like to win a copy of Deploy That Fabric? Of course you would! Stashbooks have provided us not only with a copy* of Jen's book to giveaway but also an awesome Camo Quilt—Eco Messenger Bag! Just leave a comment below and on 10 October we will choose a winner. Oh and be sure to tell us if a loved one of yours is currently serving or has served in the armed forces.
*(Hard copy for a US winner and ebook for an international winner)

The most divisive aspect of Scars of Mirrodin block, and the most divisive mechanic in recent Magic, tied perhaps with transform/double-faced cards, has to be infect. Some players loved the Phyrexians' flagship keyword for its sense of brutal inevitability, the necessity to build around it and the many interactions with previously innocuous cards it enabled, and the sheer fact that it was a nostalgic alternate win condition. Others hated it because of its mechanical parasitism, the fact that poison counters couldn't be removed, and the degenerate combos it enabled.
Since Phyrexia is almost guaranteed to come back as the villains of a block in the near future, foxtrot929 asked Mark Rosewater on his Tumblr blog, "All this infect talk has made me wonder, could we see Phyrexians return without infect or poison counters?" He put the question up for discussion:
I don't believe the Phyrexians have to have infect or poison although the ones from New Phyrexia are pretty connected to it.
Let's turn this to you guys. When next we see the Phyrexians, do you expect there to be infect?
The responses were, in fact, overwhelmingly "yes": johnnycoffee wrote "Infect seems pretty iconic with Phyrexians. IMO the next coming of them should have infect, but have it alongside newer concepts, which should probably take the spotlight," while sonsofsauron said "I think tying a brutal, inevitable mechanic like infect to the new phyrexians is awesome. I'd totally expect some take on infect when we see them again."
Given this kind of player response, and the fact that it has indeed been since Scars of Mirrodin block that -1/-1 counters were used, when the Phyrexians return it may be due time to reuse infect. However, there are definitely other ways to show Phyrexia's infiltrating, viral nature - including poison without infect, perhaps enabling an Orzhov extort-style stall-and-drain game like existed in Return to Ravnica.
What do you think about infect and its chances to be reused? Let me know in the comments.

I park my '08 Vette outside and this cover is the best option for ding and overhead tree and bird droppings. I'm in Northern Virginia. Easy on and off. You'll get at least 3 years service. Outside mirror pocket seams go first and could use more stitching and a slightly larger pocket.winter I use two covers with the top cover without mirror pockets. If it wasn't for the pocket seams I'd give this cover a 5.
Reviewed By Jeff R (Saratoga, CA) Reviewed for a 2008 Chevy Corvette —5/17/2015 11:42 PM
It is a less expensive cover and good for outdoors, rain or shine. ALso fits very well. Only problem is that the fabric rips a little too easily if you pull too hard with your fingers when installing it. If they fixed that, it would be a GREAT cover.

Green Lotus Peak (Bilian Feng)
The peak has attracted visitors for well over a thousand years and was visited by Jianzhen, a Chinese monk who helped spread Buddhism to Japan, and Cao Ye, a Chinese poet and Yangshuo native.
If you're looking for a bird's eye view of the river, climb to the base of Standing Cliff, located about halfway up the peak. Other notable sights in Shanshui Park include the Jianzhen Memorial and Yingjiang Pavilion, where visitors can view the peak in the observation gallery.

This columnist greeted four dancers from the Fantasy show (Luxor) along the red carpet.
Before attending the televised Oscar ceremony at the private party upstairs, the ladies' mentioned their Oscar choices American Hustle for Best Film and Leonardo Di Caprio for best actor.
Instead of the usual choices for awards, one rooted for "Despicable Me 2" as Best Animated Feature Film.
They agreed, "There are a lot of great movies and amazing actors this year. We are excited to see who wins."
Fantasy recently celebrated its 14th birthday and is one of the most popular adult shows in Las Vegas.
With 15 sensuous numbers, Fantasy has much more than most of the other shows.
The women agreed, "We have many fun numbers. There is something for everyone from James Brown's "It's a Man's, Man's, Man's World to Alicia Keyes and more."
An original take on pole dancing, five dancers perform choreographed numbers on top of the poles. High-energy dancing and scanty costumes add to the mood.
Each number is different with exciting dancing styles and tempos.
The name Fantasy is the best way to describe the show. Your imagination runs wild.
The lead singer Jaime Lyuch and comedian Sean E. Cooper add to the show.
Fantasy recently celebrated 14 successful years at the Luxor. They won many awards including "Best Showgirls" in the Las Vegas Review Journal 2012 Best of Las Vegas poll.
Fantasy appears seven nights a week at 10:30 p.m. Must be 18 years of age or older to attend. There are two show packages, two-shows-for-the-price-of-one or show-and-dinner.
In addition to Fantasy, the Luxor Hotel offers several other shows: MAGICjam, JABBAWOCKEEZ and Carrot Top.

Founding Fathers Hated
Christianity For Good Reason

I am tired of Bush's religious propaganda. Like many religious fanatics they all claim this was a country founded on Christianity, that atheists have more morals and blah, blah, blah.
Actually our founding fathers hated Christianity. Here is what some of them had to say:
"The Christian God can be easily pictured as virtually the same as the many ancient gods of past civilizations. The Christian god is a three headed monster; cruel, evil and capricious. If one wishes to know more of this raging, three headed, beast-like god, one only needs to look at the caliber of the people who say they serve him. The are always of two classes: fools and hypocrites."
"During almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of Christianity been on trial. What has been its fruits? More or less, in all places, pride and indolence in the clergy; ignorance and servility in the laity; in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution."
"Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on man"
I totally agree that religious fanatics are more corrupt than an atheist could ever be.

The Founders and their generation came fresh from witnessing, first-hand, the destruction that is tyrannical government exploiting religion for its own ends and greedy, clannish religion invoking the power of government to enforce its policies of favoritism with the edge of the sword. It's easy to see that the Founders saw the separation of religion from government as essential to human Liberty. It's also easy to see how many of the Founders would tend to "throw the baby out with the bath water" when it comes to any and all expressions of religion.
Since then, the effects of the Age of Enlightenment, still in progress during the American Revolution, have had a chance to temper religion. Time has also had a chance to fade and even erase the cultural memories of just how brutal those times were. So brutal were they that revolution after revolution systematically threw off yoke after yoke and essentially changed how the world allows governments to conduct the affairs of nations and municipalities. Similar changes occurred in the way religious groups allow their clergy to handle their ecclesiastical affairs. In fact, a lot of what the Founders complained about in religion just does not happen today: their words seem strange to our ears, because we have never witnessed religious groups doing what the people had, for generations, taken for granted, what the Founders finally faced up to, shouting "No more! No more!"
This is what I tried (in futility) to point out in my most recent editorial column, "But We Can't Even See What's Wrong." Perhaps in another year or two, I'll have given this concept enough thought to be able to describe it in English, but for now I can but grope for the words to describe the difference between what they went through and what we don't go through, why a society that is for the most part oblivious to history cannot see the potential dangers in such policies such as President Bush's "Faith-Based initiative." This blindness even goes so far as to prevent some from seeing how we could even be offended by their talk, mush less frightened.
I suspect that we each are capable of being just as corrupt as anybody else, and that ideology plays a smaller role than we all suspect. This is because ideology (such as, "Is there or is there not a God?" or "Should we permit or prohibit the consumption of alcohol?") is not the same thing as thinking style.
Thinking style determines whether one will say, "This is the absolute truth" (fundamentalism) or "I'm not sure if there is any such thing as 'absolute truth'" (relativism); either thinking style can say "Yes" or "No: to the God-question or the drinking question. Thinking style has also tended to determine if we think certain groups are inherently superior to others (or all) or whether we wait until people act before trying to assess their traits or capabilities (tribal loyalism). People and groups can become loyalistic toward or against either God-believers or nonbelievers, either drinkers or teetotalers.
Stalin used and advocated a fundamentalistic thinking style, and he applied fundamentalistic thinking to the ideology of atheism. Many Western atheists like to think this is impossible, that atheism inherently protects against such a style of thinking. Notwithstanding, between one and seven million of Stalin's victims did not live to tell us that this is indeed possible enough to have happened. Stalin was likewise very loyalistic toward his ideology (atheism, among other things), and he thus applied the fundamentalistic thinking style to atheism. One's atheism became the test of belonging, the determiner of whether you were good or worthy or superior or "one of us," just as Protestantism and Roman Catholicism has been in the North of Ireland.
True, some ideologies tend to feed into a fundamentalistic thinking style and tend to promote loyalism more than others. Many religious ideologies are will known to the charlatans among us as efficient and effective tools for exploiting large groups of people. Science, particularly when not properly understood, likewise holds the same potential as religion does when it is not properly understood. (For the sake of discussion, I'll give both the benefit of the doubt in this respect.) However, no ideology is immune to being used by exploiters to whip large groups of unthinking people into a frenzied and polarized mob, useful for bringing all sorts of personal, financial, and political gain to the exploiters.
Similarly, other ideologies contain natural protections against these potentially destructive thinking styles. Science, particularly Liberal Scientific Method, as currently practiced throughout the world as an unspoken standard of thinking, probably contains the strongest protections of all ideologies. Some religious views likewise contain protections against at least the destructive thinking styles, in some cases even utilizing the very elements that in any other context might prove destructive.

Hi Guys,
I've just wrapped up listening to this episode #25. Congrats on the milestone, here's to looking for another 25 episodes in the future.
Kudos, for discussing about the "
" service although it won't be feasible for those in the Oceanic region of the world.
Although the article you were discussing that the CEO of Activision was looking for some sort of PC adapter for TV play. OnLive will be deploying such an adapter calling it the "
Micro Console
TV Adapter". So it may not be so far fetched if Activision is looking for their own partner hardware wise with Dell or HP. What may be far fetched is if Activision can execute on such a concept since they have capital to burn from the successes of Blizzard & Call of Duty franchise.
(I'll assume Activision is going to settle out of court over the sacking of the "
Infinity Ward
" founders. Besides with holding the bonuses to employees at the firm that are also suing Activision)
When you folks were discussing how the Nintendo Wii was reaching a saturation point of sales. If not the other two console makers of Sony & Microsoft selling video game console hardware. What came to mind what the three video console makers stated last year. Which due to this "
Great Recession
" they were holding back introducing another console iteration until its closer to the 10 year mark. Since typically video game consoles go through a product cycle of 5 to 6 years time frame.
Which is the period of time we're in already and the current generation of video console units are beginning to face stale sales numbers. Where the selling of sleeker models that are smaller in size and with a bigger hard drive. In terms of the Xbox and the selling of motion controller peripherals is their best bet for Sony & Microsoft to forestall the current consumer climate.
When the discussion in the podcast turned to the MMO F2P model. Besides micro-transactions that was often cited, is that many western MMO's converting or offering F2P as a business model. Also offer a hybrid lesser priced subscription to the game for better loot and other incentives. SOE's "
Free Realms
" is a prime example offering a $4.99 monthly subscription and a micro-transaction store within the game itself. Both completely optional to participate in the game to a degree. Although the quality of the game play will suffer if one doesn't dip into their pocket book from time to time.
One last thing is i see you guys didn't mention the game of "
Fable III
" from
Mr. Peter Moloyneux
of Lionhead Studio fame. Since it will also be made available for the PC for the very first time besides the Xbox console.
I was surprised to see this episode #25 released so soon since the date of its recording of this past Tuesday the 14th of July. That threw me off in a pleasant way.
PS: I'm also a user of
since you guys mentioned you were looking for someone. I signed up via the one year sponsorship from AT&T here in the States.
