What Proof Do
You Have That
There Is No God?

Two questions:
1. What proof do you have that there is no God (God is substituted here for any higher power, diety, etc.)?
2. What reasons do you have for not believing in a God?
I would love for you to answer both questions, but I feel that your answer to the second question is probably very personal and private, so I implore you to at least answer the first question.

2. What reasons do you have for not believing in a God?
Nobody has ever given me a reason to believe that their respective god-myths are true.
1. What proof do you have that there is no God (God is substituted here for any higher power, diety, etc.)?
This is like asking me what proof I have that the Easter Bunny story is fiction. I don't need proof; on the contrary, if someone wants me to believe that the Easter Bunny exists, that person needs to come up with a good reason for believing their claim is true.
If I told you that an invisible leprachaun lives in my Chicago Cubs baseball cap, would you have any reason to believe me? What if I asked you to prove that no invisible leprachauns exist: would you be able to prove it? Have you scoured the entire universe to show that no invisible leprachauns exist?
You wouldn't need to do this. If I claim the existence of an invisible leprachaun, it is my responsibility to come up with valid reasons for you to believe my claim. If I cannot do this, you have no business believing my claim.

Muskego parents just can't live with heroin problem
Group engages school officials to deal with the issue
Muskego — When roughly 40 people packed last week's Muskego-Norway School Board meeting with painful stories of children and a brother who were lost to heroin, they wanted to make school officials aware of a problem.
When they return in about two weeks, as they have vowed, they intend to offer suggestions about how they might help the schools keep kids away from drugs, and hope the board will welcome their input.
"We're hoping they use us, please," Muskego resident Linda Lenz, a leader of the group, said following the Aug. 5 meeting.
Lenz was among the mothers and former students who told firsthand stories about heroin use in the Muskego schools and its impact locally. Their message was that they are available to do anything — fundraising for staff or equipment or speaking in the schools — to keep children away from drugs, especially heroin.
Fatal attraction
Their message was clear: Drug use can have fatal consequences, and it has locally.
Lenz lost her 23-year-old son to drugs in February. His drug connection was a boy that he met at Muskego High School, she said, although his addiction didn't start there.
A 2007 Muskego High School graduate who wanted to be identified only as Rich said told board members that his older brother died at age 23 after getting in with the wrong crowd. Already on prescription medication for a back injury, he was lured by drugs more deadly.
"I can honestly say I know it's in the schools," Rich said.
Megan Murphy, a 2009 Muskego High School graduate, said she started on Vicodin at age 17.
"That shoots you right up to heroin," she said, adding that it is terribly seductive even for young people who should know better.
"I have been to 12 funerals since I was 16 years old, and 11 were from heroin overdoses," Murphy said.
One misstep is all it takes, she said.
"Once you take that drug, something in your brain goes off" and the craving becomes overwhelming, she said. Even so, she announced that she has been drug-free for a year.
Dawn Brushwood said she doesn't want her son in the Muskego schools to face such deadly threats.
"I would like my son to live," she said.
Close to tears, Jennifer Reidy told how her daughter started drugs at Muskego High School. She died three years ago.
"She had a lot to offer" before her life was cut short, Reidy said. "Please listen to all the voices who are telling you."
During the meeting, School Board President Jim Schaefer told the group, "Certainly, we've heard you."
After the Aug. 5 meeting, he said he and the board will welcome partnering with the residents.
Drug infiltration
Lenz said a Muskego police officer told her the drug problem in Muskego is bigger than anyone can imagine. It isn't that there are so many deaths or arrests, she was told — it's that so many youth are hooked.
Lt. David Constantineau, who is in charge of the Muskego Police Department's drug-fighting efforts, responded, "Heroin is out of control and is a big problem. That's accurate. ... It's insidious the way it finds its way in."
He confirmed that kids just wanting to experiment are metaphorically walking blindfolded toward a cliff — even those who tried heroin just once. He has seen it happen, and their family background isn't the issue.
"These are good kids who have never been in any trouble from good families," Constantineau said.
Even so, Constantineau doubted that Muskego has a worse problem than other area communities.
Keeping drugs out of schools is tough. Even if schools performed searches every day, it wouldn't stop the flow, he said.
"They do that in prisons and drugs still get in," Constantineau said.
Effective enforcement
Police do have drug dogs search the high and middle schools twice a year, he said.
Some claimed last week that drug dogs cannot sniff out heroin or other hard drugs, but Constantineau called that assertion "inaccurate." Drug dogs can detect heroin, cocaine, methamphetamines and all the derivatives, plus marijuana, he said.
Police haven't made any arrests for heroin at the high school last year, he said. But they have made plenty of arrests outside of schools of people in their late teens and into their 40s, he said.
The schools are very-pro law-enforcement when it comes to drugs, he said, and police follow up aggressively on every lead.
When police make an arrest, Constantineau said, "We try to work our way up the food chain to get the dealers," but that usually has to be done by the metro drug squad that can cross jurisdictional lines.
What needs to happen is for students to report kids with pills or needles, he said.
"We need people to step up and say I don't want that in my school," Constantineau said.
According to the Waukesha County Medical Examiners Office and law enforcement officials:
· Last year, 20 people died of heroin overdoses, the majority in their 20s and 30s. That is a record and significantly higher than the six or seven deaths from heroin that has been the rule.
·One of those deaths last year was in Muskego and two were in New Berlin. Otherwise, they were scattered all over Waukesha County, with a few more in the city of Waukesha.
·Part of the reason for so many more heroin deaths is that heroin is now cheaper than prescription drugs.
· The total number of overdoses from all drugs is way up in Waukesha County. Last year, 52 died of drug overdoses compared with 17 in 2004.

Lots of sand, lots of food and jet skis.
The Huskies arrive in Miami
Ryan Nielsen added co-defensive coordinator to his duties as defensive line coach and recruiting coordinator following Northern Illinois University's 2011 MAC Championship season.
A former defensive lineman at Southern California, Nielsen has mentored five all conference selections and sent two players on to the National Football League in his seven-year coaching career.
In one season under Nielsen, the Huskies ranked second in the league in sacks in 2011 with 28, with defensive ends Alan Baxter and All-MAC selection Sean Progar leading the way with 5.5 each, to rank fourth in the MAC. Senior defensive tackle Ron Newcomb enjoyed a breakout season as he co-led the team and ranked eighth in the MAC in tackles for loss to garner All-MAC accolades.
A native of Los Angeles, Calif. Nielsen came to NIU from Tennessee-Martin where he spent a year as defensive line coach and special teams coordinator for the Skyhawks. Skyhawks' defensive end Tim Cox earned All-Ohio Valley Conference honors in 2010 playing for Nielsen. Prior to UT-Martin, Nielsen spent two seasons at Central Connecticut State, where he coached a pair of all-conference honorees, including 2008 league sacks leader Ray Saunders, and 2009 Northeast Conference Rookie of the Year, Lawton Arnold.
Nielsen began his coaching career at Mississippi where he spent three seasons (2005-07) coaching the Rebels' defensive line. His pupils included future NFL-er Jayme Mitchell, freshman All-American Marcus Tillman (2006), 2007 Southeastern Conference sack leader Greg Hardy and first round pick Peria Jerry.
NIU head coach Dave Doeren and Nielsen have known each other since their days at Southern California, where Nielsen was an All-Pac 10 Conference defensive linemen as a sophomore and Doeren was on the coaching staff. Nielsen, a defensive tackle, recorded a career best 39 tackles in 1999.
He graduated from USC in 2002 and signed as an undrafted free agent with the NFL's Philadelphia Eagles and played one season of Arena Football with the Los Angeles Avengers.

Monday Mixtape – Birth Dates
I've not done much in the way of creativity this past week, but I've been keeping entertained with twitter and facebook. One of the things going around on facebook has been the meme about what was number one on the day we were born.
And now it turns out that Clara at I Want My Mummy has set that very topic for this week's Monday Mixtape.
There's a great website that finds the number one single and album for any given date during the past 60 years. Click here to access it.
The song that was number one on the day that I was born was Diana Ross singing "I'm Still Waiting".
I think it's a lovely song, but it's not something that's ever meant anything in particular to me. I can't help feeling a bit disappointed that it's not something a bit more interesting.
My sister's was "Tiger Feet", which is much more exciting, so I thought I'd include that as well (I love how the singer gets tangled up in his microphone flex at the start!).
What was number one on your birthday? Or on another special birthday or event? You might want to join in with the linky and share.
Monday Mixtape
Over at I Want My Mummy, Clara's hosting a Monday Mixtape on childhood crushes.
Mine was George Michael. In his Wham! heyday, I covered my bedroom wall with posters and thought he was the most gorgeous man alive. I still have a huge soft spot for him now, but less of a crushy thing and more like a very familiar old friend.
The pictures are my bedroom well somewhere in the mid 1980s. All indoor photos seemed to come out with an orange tinge back then.
Here's a taster of Wham! so you can judge for yourselves…
Do you remember your first pop-star crush? Why not pop over to Clara and add them to this week's Mix Tape?
Faces (122 of 365)
A few more pictures from the Jaume Plensa exhibition at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
I love the presentation of the first two faces; I think this shows off the amazing countryside setting of the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, right through to the field behind being ploughed just as I was taking the picture.
The heads here, Nuria and Irma, are modelled on two ordinary girls, one of whom is the daughter of a restaurant owner near Jaume Plensa's home.
The second set of faces are from the indoor exhibition, set in a very cleverly lit room and quite breathtaking – almost frightening – at first. They're beautiful. Signs at the entrance warn us not to touch for fear of damaging them. Strangely, that seems to add something to their fragility.
This third set of heads, In the Midst of Dreams, is also incredibly stunning and yet very peaceful. They're lit from inside, with words imprinted on each of the faces; Ignorance, Wrath, Desire, Anxiety. The words add a special dimension. They're not immediately fitting with the first impression of peace and stillness, but they move us into the inner person instead of just looking at the external.
As we were coming out of the exhibition, a mother was talking to her children about what they'd seen, and she was obviously trying to move them towards being better able to articulate their views. One of them became slightly frustrated with her, "I don't know, Mum; I just loved it."
The thing that I'm falling for the most about being at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park is that I have the feeling that it's just fine to just love something and not be able to explain why. Or to not like it at all and not know how to explain that either. But it doesn't seem to require more of us than we're able to give, and it really does feel that the art's just there for us to take whatever we want to from it.
These pictures are for the 'Faces' theme on my 365 Project, and they're just a very small part of the exhibition and the whole range of things to see and experience.
The exhibition is at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park until 25th September 2011. Jaume Plensa has upcoming exhibitions in Chicago and Paris this coming autumn and spring.
Kate Rusby at Cannon Hall Farm
We had a great evening at the Kate Rusby concert, part of the Cawthorne Concerts series, at Cannon Hall Farm in Barnsley yesterday.
We'd wondered about the good sense of going along; the weather forecast had been decidedly dodgy, and neither of us had been to this type of open air concert before.
And Mike was a bit peturbed at the prospect of missing out on the first Dr Who episode of the new run.
But I was hugely glad that we did go. The weather was great and the second half of the concert took place under a very dark, starlit sky. People had taken along little lights and candles, and there was a lovely air of local people enjoying themselves together. That was made all the more special by the fact that Kate Rusby's very local too and was very happy to be playing at home.
Kate and her band took us through traditional folk songs along with some of her own; delicate songs of love combined with humorous lessons on disrupted relationships.
The setting for the concert, at the edge of an open farm, was a delight. The huge stage was at the bottom of a bank, and I'd be pretty certain that everyone had an excellent view.
I loved it. The whole experience was quite magical. Even given that Mike's one of those furiously organised people who insists on leaving as soon as the last song's announced. So we listened to "Underneath the Stars" on our own in the car park and managed to beat the rush of people leaving.
"That was great, wasn't it?" I asked him as we pulled out of the farm.
"Mmm." He said.
With enthusiasm like that, I think we might make a Yorkshireman of him yet.

Released: Jan 01st, 1990
Running Time: 81
Director: Ansel Rainier
Company: In Hand Video
Cast: Hans Mueller, Brad Weston, Cal Jensen, Andre Michaels, Terry Ring, Michael Bowland, Rod Lance
Critical Rating: AA
Genre: Gay and Bi
Young director Ansel Rainier definitely has a knack for getting ample, natural-sounding dialogue out of his charges. "Cruisers" capitalizes greatly on this fact, but throws a couple of curves straight out of left field that really have to leave you wondering what Rainier was thinking. The premise is nice and simple: a bunch of guys getting together for an informal five-year high school reunion. There's plenty of sex and Cal Jensen appropriately dominates the crowd. He looks terrific.
He also looks a little embarrassed by the heavy-handed plot twists. The most bizarre is a long confession in the opening scene from Rod Lance's character about his drug addiction. Later, the story and action again both grind to a halt with an awkward marital spat between Brad Weston and Guy Charles. It's not that I feel "reality" dialogue has no place in an adult film. It's just that this cast and crew don't have the budget or experience to pull it off. Otherwise, some nice packaging (inappropriately similar to Vivid Man's superior Davey and the Cruisers) and Cal Jenson hot out of Matt Sterling's Heat in the Night may give the title more mileage than it otherwise would warrant.

TC TO THOMAS BALLANTYNE ; 12 June 1858; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18580612-TC-TB-01; CL 33: 239
Chelsea, 12 june, 1858—
Dear Ballantyne,
Mr Martin1 has got two Books of mine; one of which, a volume of Mirabeau,2 has become immediately indispensable to me. It belongs to the London Library; is of no use at all, nor ever has been, to Mr M.; but will create great inconvenience if not now returned directly to its place in the set there. The other Book, a Volume of Memoirs of Bareith,3 belongs to myself, and is not of such consequence; but it may as well be returned whither it belongs, more especially as it is not of the slightest value except as wastepaper where it is.
I am making up my packages and assortments for getting to the country; and I especially want that Mirabeau. Pray contrive so that these poor volumes, especially that one, may actually be left here within the next three days: I shd think, that might be possible, with an effort, to Mr M.!
In great haste, I remain
Always yours truly / T. Carlyle

|April 1998 U.S. Edition
New Wanna-Beef
Remember the wonderful taste of a juicy hamburger on a bun piled high with lettuce, tomato, and onion?
Remember the saturated fat and the E. coli bacteria that could be hiding inside?
You can keep the taste but forget the worries with Gardenburger Hamburger Style or Hamburger Style with Cheese soy patties.
Okay. So they're not exactly like beef. But they're close enough to give your tastebuds a thrill.
And the numbers will give your blood vessels a thrill. A cheese-free Gardenburger has 90 calories and no fat. The with-cheese version has 110 calories and 2 and half grams of fat (just 1 and a half of them saturated).
The same-size burger made with typical "lean" ground beef will set you back 13 grams of fat, five of them saturated. And you'll get no fiber or phytochemicals to cut the risk of cancer.
The new Gardenburgers' sodium (about 380 milligrams per patty) is higher than fellow wanna-beef Boca Burgers (about 300 mg). And the taste is a little less beef-like.
If imitating beef isn't your thing, try Original Gardenburgers. They're mostly made of mushrooms, brown rice, onions, low-fat cheese, and rolled oats, and they taste delicious in their own right.
Boca Burger -- (954) 524-1977 Gardenburger -- (800) 636-0109
Coronary King
After two years in the kitchen, the geniuses at Burger King have come up with a new kind of french fries. And your local hospital ought to name its cardiac care unit in their honor.
"The taste that beat McDonald's fries," goes Burger King's ad blitz. "The saturated fat and sodium that make McDonald's fries look good," would be more like it.
Thanks to the salty coating that allows more oil to be absorbed, a king size order of BK's new fries packs 590 calories and 30 grams of fat -- 12 of them saturated. McDonald's super size fries have 26 grams -- 4 and a half of them saturated. And both are fried in trans-laden shortening, which boosts the sat fat numbers ... and the fries' threat to your heart.
Worse yet, BK's fries -- its most popular item -- have a whopping 1,110 of sodium (McDonald's has 350 mg).
How nice of Burger King to pack the sat fat equivalent of a Whopper into a side dish.
Let's see. In November BK introduces the Big King, one of the worst burgers you can buy. In January it introduces some of the worst fries.
The next time you're stuck choosing among fast food restaurants, remember: Anything's better than Burger King.
Burger King -- (305) 378-3535

This new critical edition, including Mark Musa's classic translation, provides students with a clear, readable verse translation accompanied by ten innovative interpretations of Dante's masterpiece.
Dante's Vita Nuova, New Editionby Dante Alighieri Mark Musa
In this new edition Musa views Dante's intention as one of cruel and comic commentary on the shallowness and self-pity of his protagonist, who only occasionally glimpses the true nature of love. "... the explication de texte which accompanies [Musa's] translation is instructively novel, always admirable.... This present work offers English readers a lengthy appraisal which should figure in future scholarly discussions." --Choice
La Divina Comediaby Dante Alighieri
Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), poeta, prosista, teórico de la literatura, filósofo y pensador político italiano. Está considerado como una de las figuras más sobresalientes de la literatura universal, admirado por su espiritualidad y por su profundidad intelectual. La obra maestra de Dante, la Divina Comedia, es una narración alegórica en verso, de una gran precisión y fuerza dramática, en la que se describe el imaginario viaje del poeta guiado porVirgilio, a través del Infierno y el Purgatorio, y por su amada Beatrice por el Paraíso. La obra, que constituye un catálogo del pensamiento político, científico y filosófico de su tiempo, puede interpretarse en cuatro niveles: el literal, el alegórico, el moral y el místico. Ciertamente, es una impresionante dramatización de toda la teología cristiana medieval
The Divine Comedyby Dante Alighieri
Dante's Divine Comedy relates the allegorical tale of the poet's journey through the three realms of the dead. Accompanied through the Inferno and Purgatory by Virgil--author of the Roman epic the Aeniad--Dante encounters mythical, historical, and contemporaneous figures in their respective afterlives. Relying on classical (pagan) mythology and Christian imagery and theology, Dante imagines diverse vivid and inventive punishments for the various sinners he encounters, which have become part of the Western imagination. Upon their approach to Paradise, which as a pagan, no matter how worthy, the Latin poet cannot enter, Virgil relinquishes his role as guide to Beatrice. Dante's chaste beloved then accompanies him along the ascent, as they encounter the blessed and the holy, and Dante arrives at a vision of the heavenly paradise.

Excerpt from book: CANTO II Dante prepares for his journey. The Muses are invoked. Dante is haunted vrith misgivings. Vergil rebukes his cowardice, and relates how Beatrice visited him in Limbo, and sent him to Dante's aid. Dante declares himself encouraged and ready to set out.

The Divine Comedyby Dante Alighieri John Ciardi
Dante Alighieri's poetic masterpiece, The Divine Comedy, is a moving human drama, an unforgettable visionary journey through the infinite torment of Hell, up the arduous slopes of Purgatory, and on to the glorious realm of Paradise--the sphere of universal harmony and eternal salvation. 10 illustrations
The Divine Comedyby Dante Alighieri Paul Gustave Dore
Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso -- the three fates of the deceased become the three pillars of an epic poem. The Divine Comedy, written by Italian poet Dante Alighieri in the fourteenth century, is considered the foremost work in Italian literature. The journey begins with Dante's descent into the depths of Hell where he witnesses those eternally separated from God. Then he climbs the mountain of Purgatory where Christian souls undergo final purification, before finally touring the celestial circles of Heaven where he is filled with the image of God. An allegorical work, the comedy is representative of the soul's journey towards God.Influential for seven centuries, this classic is a must have for lovers of great literature, and the luxurious leather-bound edition from Canterbury Classics will make a stunning addition to any library.
The Divine Comedyby Dante Alighieri Clive James
"Under James's uncanny touch, seven long centuries drop away, and the great poem is startlingly fresh and new."--Stephen Greenblatt The Divine Comedy is the precursor of modern literature, and Clive James's translation--decades in the making--gives us the entire epic as a single, coherent, and compulsively readable lyric poem. For the first time ever in an English translation, James makes the bold choice of switching from the terza rima composition of the original Italian--a measure that strains in English--to the quatrain. The result is "rhymed English stanzas that convey the music of Dante's triple rhymes" (Edward Mendelson). James's translation reproduces the same wonderful momentum of the original Italian that propels the reader along the pilgrim's path from Hell to Heaven, from despair to revelation.
The Divine Comedyby Dante Alighieri Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Dante's famous poem as translated by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The Divine Comedy - Hellby Dante Alighieri Translator Dorothy L. Sayers (Introduction by
Guided by the poet Virgil, Dante plunges to the very depths of Hell and embarks on his arduous journey towards God. Together they descend through the nine circles of the underworld and encounter the tormented souls of the damned - from heretics and pagans to gluttons, criminals and seducers - who tell of their sad fates and predict events still to come in Dante's life. In this first part of his Divine Comedy, Dante fused satire and humour with intellect and soaring passion to create an immortal Christian allegory of mankind's search for self-knowledge and spiritual enlightenment.
The Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri: Volume 1 Infernoby Dante Alighieri Robert M. Durling Ronald L. Martinez
This is the first volume of a new prose translation of Dante's epic - the first in twenty-five years. Robert Durling's translation brings a new power and accuracy to the rendering of Dante's extraordinary vision of Hell, with its terror, pathos, and sardonic humour, and its penetrating analyses of the psychology of sin and the ills that plague society. A newly edited version of the Italian text can be on facing pages, and this edition includes fully comprehensive notes as well as sixteen essays on special subjects.
The Divine Comedy: Paradiseby Dante Alighieri
In Paradise, having plunged to the uttermost depths of Hell and climbed the Mount of Purgatory, Dante ascends to Heaven, continuing his soul's search for God, guided by his beloved Beatrice. As he progresses through the spheres of Paradise he grows in understanding, until he finally experiences divine love in the radiant presence of the deity. Examining eternal questions of faith, desire and enlightenment, Dante exercised all his learning and wit, wrath and tenderness in his creation of one of the greatest of all Christian allegories. Translation is by Dorothy L. Sayers, completed and introduced by Barbara Reynolds.
The Divine Comedy, Paradiseby Dante Alighieri H. F. Cary
Poet's classic vision of Paradise
The Divine Comedy: Purgatoryby Dante Alighieri
Beginning with Dante's liberation from Hell, Purgatory relates his ascent, accompanied by Virgil, of the Mount of Purgatory - a mountain of nine levels, formed from rock forced upwards when God threw Satan into depths of the earth. As he travels through the first seven levels, Dante observes the sinners who are waiting for their release into Paradise, and through these encounters he is himself transformed into a stronger and better man. For it is only when he has learned from each of these levels that he can ascend to the gateway to Heaven: the Garden of Eden. The second part of one of the greatest epic poems, Purgatory is an enthralling Christian allegory of sin, redemption and ultimate enlightenment.
The Divine Comedy: Volume 1, Infernoby Dante Alighieri Mark Musa
The most famous of the three canticles that comprise "The Divine Comedy, Inferno" describes Dante's descent in Hell midway through his life, with Virgil as a guide. As he descends through nine concentric circles of increasingly agonizing torture, Dante encounters doomed souls that include the pagan Aeneas, the liar Odysseus, the suicidal Cleopatra, and his own political enemies, damned for their deceit. Led by leering demons, Dante must ultimately journey with Virgil to the deepest level of all for it is only by encountering Satan himself, in the heart of Hell, that he can truly understand the tragedy of sin.
Infernoby Dante Alighieri
An extraordinary new verse translation of Dante's masterpiece, by poet, scholar, and lauded translator Anthony Esolen Of the great poets, Dante is one of the most elusive and therefore one of the most difficult to adequately render into English verse. In theInferno, Dante not only judges sin but strives to understand it so that the reader can as well. With this major new translation, Anthony Esolen has succeeded brilliantly in marrying sense with sound, poetry with meaning, capturing both the poem's line-by-line vigor and its allegorically and philosophically exacting structure, yielding anInfernothat will be as popular with general readers as with teachers and students. For, as Dante insists, without a trace of sentimentality or intellectual compromise, even Hell is a work of divine art. Esolen also provides a critical Introduction and endnotes, plus appendices containing Dante's most important sources--from Virgil to Saint Thomas Aquinas and other Catholic theologians--that deftly illuminate the religious universe the poet inhabited.
The Infernoby Dante Alighieri
The epic grandeur of Dante's masterpiece has inspired readers for 700 years, and has entered the human imagination. But the further we move from the late medieval world of Dante, the more a rich understanding and enjoyment of the poem depends on knowledgeable guidance. Robert Hollander, a renowned scholar and master teacher of Dante, and Jean Hollander, an accomplished poet, have written a beautifully accurate and clear verse translation of the first volume of Dante's epic poem, the Divine Comedy. Featuring the original Italian text opposite the translation, this edition also offers an extensive and accessible introduction and generous commentaries that draw on centuries of scholarship as well as Robert Hollander's own decades of teaching and research. The Hollander translation is the new standard in English of this essential work of world literature.

The desolate silence of minimalism

We live in an era of memorial inflation. In my hometown of London there seems to be a solemn dedication of some kind every other month, often for events and wars long past. Elsewhere, the huge and expensive memorial to the September 11th terrorist attacks is in the final stages of design, dwarfing in size and certainly cost any previous memorial, even those for world wars.

OBRA ARCHITECTS was founded by Pablo Castro and Jennifer Lee in New York in 2000. The firm has completed many projects including the San Jose Veterans Memorial. In 2003 they were elected one of three winners in the competition for the Freedom Park memorial and museum complex at Salvokop Hill in Pretoria, South Africa. This museum and memorial complex will become South Africa´s main post-colonial monument, which will function as a commemorative site for the struggle against apartheid and a symbol for the new South African nation. It will also be a site for gatherings and religious cleansing ceremonies for the country´s many ethnical groups. In this interview, which was made by e-mail in October 2005, Pablo Castro explains the concept behind OBRA´s proposal and their view on the emotional aspects and the complex issue of remembrance that are immanent in the process of designing memorials relating to conflict.

An article about Hillary Gilligan's intervention "Our Trail of the Troubles", made in Belfast 1996. There are virtually no multilateral war memorials at all in the world, which is perhaps not too surprising. The process of creating such a memorial must be a painstaking process that can take years if not generations. A peace process must first be negotiated, parties must agree and cultural gaps must be bridged before the work with a memorial can even begin. When Hilary Gilligan made her intervention in public space on the Easter weekend in 1996, she showed that a war memorial doesn't have to be commissioned, or permanent, to be successful.

>Brookings Oregon News, Sports, & Weather | The Curry Coastal Pilot
Ballet dancer, U.S. Navy Seal, journalist, and now restaurateur, describes in a nut shell the career of Kurt Madar, co-owner, with Donald Dowden, of the Shack Island Grill on Chetco Avenue, which opened Sept. 15.
Kurt Madar prepares a healthy dish in the kitchen of The Shack on Chetco Avenue. The Pilot/Marge Woodfin
The two men said they are on a mission to encourage healthy eating. Mader said, "Most of the U.S. is addicted to fast food."
He added, "One reason Don and I started this is that we want to change the model for fast food. It doesn't have to be heavy in fat, cooked, frozen and reheated. It can be quickly cooked and fresh, with healthy veggies."Dowden, whose mother, Kathleen Dowden, was a favorite teacher in Brookings for many years, assented to Madar's next comment, "We want to change what kids eat at school."
Mader said he paid college expenses at University of Oregon for himself and his wife, Emily, by cooking at a bed and breakfast at Heceta Head, and also worked as executive chef on a boat to Thailand.
"I learned to cook fast food watching street vendors in Thailand cook fresh food with new ingredients," he said.
"I make all of our sauces from scratch, cut all my own veggies, and use all personal recipes that I learned watching cooks across the world," Mader said.
Mader was preparing to head back to U of O when the opportunity arose to take over the restaurant. "I was planning to go to law school, but this restaurant just sort of fell into our laps. It's hard to start a restaurant without infrastructure, because it requires so much money to install all of the equipment. But suddenly we were able to carry out our dream to encourage healthy eating habits."
Mader noted that they will also be serving wine and beer as soon as the required licenses are received. "We want to provide a place where you can come in and eat, and chat, and hang out and enjoy a healthy fast food meal with no excess fat, salt, sugar, or calories, and we're happy to be seeing lots of returning clients."
Comments from the customers included, "The chicken is delicious and the cabbage salad is excellent."
The Shack at 1011 Chetco Ave. is open from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

|Anthropological Linguistics; Applied Linguistics; Historical Linguistics
|In the literature on grammaticalization, it is generally assumed that there are two categories of bound elements, clitics and affixes, and that a development from the former to the latter is an example of gram-maticalization. Frequently, this development in form is assumed to be associated with a change in function. In this paper, we argue that a simple dichotomy between clitic and affix does not do justice to the variation found between bound elements, nor to the changes they undergo over time. We also argue that changes in form are not always accompanied by a change in function. We illustrate our discussion with the history and current distribution of definiteness marking in Scandinavian.

WESTFIELD TWP. — Township residents will find something other than bills and catalogs in their mailboxes next week — surveys asking about future development.
With the help of a 29-member Steering Committee, the township is aiming to update its Development Policy Plan, which is used by the township, and particularly zoning officials, when making development decisions, said Mark Majewski, president and CEO of Northstar Planning & Design LLC, the company overseeing the policy update.
The 15-question survey will be mailed out to all Westfield residents within the next week, Majewski said Thursday. Topics covered range from zoning and utilities to water quality and protection issues. Residents will have two weeks to return the survey by mail to Majewski.
The Steering Committee first met in February. After performing a "soft survey†with members, Majewski said he came up with a preliminary land use plan based on past development policy data and professional insight. The township's land use plan was updated last in 2003 and originally was adopted in 1978.
The land use draft states about 90 percent of the township consists of rural residential and agricultural areas, and historically, township residents have expressed a desire to keep and strengthen that zoning.
Still, the draft makes no concrete recommendations and is in no way a finalized document, Majewski said. It only is a start to updating the Development Policy Plan, and the Steering Committee will wait until results of the survey are tabulated before making any recommendations, he said.
The Steering Committee will conduct public hearings for comment and questions before proceeding, though no dates have been set up at this point, Majewski said.
"(Residents') response is important, and we're anxious to hear from them,†he said. "We want to tabulate the results of the survey and hold public meetings so people have a say, and can let us know what they think.â€

Wacha has been battling a stress reaction in his right shoulder for his last 4 starts; the team did not believe it was a serious issue at first, but since the soreness has not subsided, they felt they need to shut the starter down. Wacha's stint on the DL has been back dated to June 18th, his last start.
The Garcia injury is a little more concerning. Garcia missed a majority of last season after having surgery on his left shoulder and started this season on the DL while recovering. The injury could explain Garcia's last start, where he gave up 4 earned in 5 innings. If the "inflammation" could sideline the lefty for significant time, the team could look on the external market for pitching options. Garcia's DL trip will be back dated to June 21st.
Fornataro has been promoted a few times this season; his month of June in Memphis has resulted in a 0.87 ERA and 3 saves over 8 games. Fornataro will work as a long reliever and mop up guy.
Kozma, the primary shortstop of the 2013 Cardinals, has hit lefties well in Memphis this season at a .295 clip with a .941 OPS. His overall line is less impressive (.234 average, 4 HR, 24 RBI). He'll only be bench depth, but does give the team a true replacement for Jhonny Peralta.
Fornataro will be assigned number 67 and Kozma will wear 68.

After being in a killer band and winning an oscar for an amazing movie, you'd think Jared Leto would have no problem getting the ladies. He's still looking though, and he flew all the way to the land down under to continue his search.
Jared and his band 30 Seconds To Mars took their tour to Western Australia, where they performed a kick ass concert with balloons, flags, and Jared's beautiful arms. Seriously, just look at them. How is he single again?
Weird as it may be, Jared is indeed single, and he gave a shout out to the women of Australia, saying "I am single. If you are out there and feel like saying 'hi', if you are coming to the show, that would be great." I wonder how many girls going to the concert almost died when they heard that. I definitely would have.
All those Australian girls dying to meet Jared, well he's dying to meet you too. "I would love to meet the beautiful women of Australia. Always happy to meet them."
The women of the U.S. would like to meet you too, Jared. Namely me. So hurry back from Australia, why don't you.
While he's busy attracting all of the ladies with his killer looks, Jared reflects on how he almost intensified those stares at the Oscars when he considered attending the ceremony in drag as an ode to his role in Dallas Buyers Club. "I thought about dragging up for the Oscars, going as Rayon, because I knew that she would have loved to be there." Agh, my heart.
"It's a lot, what women have to do to themselves. But in the end, when you put that final dash of lipstick on and your look all comes together, it really is a glorious reward." Ok Jared, don't get too into it. Stick to your handsome good looks, please. They're working out for you just fine.

This question already has an answer here:
- How do I install OpenStack? 2 answers
I downloaded Ubuntu OpenStack (it's the second "entry" on the page). The download link took me to Ubuntu Server for Cloud (where the download began). I downloaded the latest server package, which is 13.10.
The best I can tell, there's no Cloud stuff on that CD. When I installed the server package, I was asked if I wanted to enable the SSH server, the SAMBA server, install a print server, etc. But there was no choice for "Cloud Server".
Additionally, after reboot, there is nothing running that looks like its cloud related, like Keystone (identity management), Glance (image manager), Nova or Nuetron (compute), Ceph or Swift (object storage), etc.
I'm obviously missing something, here, but I don't know what it is. The advertised steps are:
- Download Ubuntu Server for Cloud
- Create a startup disk USB Stick
- Insert it in your computer and reboot
- Start using your local private cloud
OpenStack is moving so fast my recipes for installing it and running it on Ubuntu are already ancient. That includes my books like OpenStack Cloud Computing Cookbook.
What, precisely, does Ubuntu OpenStack provide? Am I supposed to do something else next (apparently, but I don't know what)?

Central Park (Listen to the Light) – A New Location Aware Album by BLUEBRAIN from BLUEBRAIN on Vimeo.
"Washington DC-based duo Bluebrain's latest release is not a traditional album — it can't be listened to passively in one sitting or, for that matter, at just any location. 'Central Park' is a site-specific work of music that responds to the listeners location within the stretch of green of the same name in New York City. Available only as an iPhone and iPad app, the album will be released starting October 4th, 2011.
'Central Park' is the second in a series of site-specific app-albums, following 'The National Mall', released last May, designed to work within the boundaries of the park in Washington DC.
Both albums work by tracking a users location via the iPhones built-in GPS capabilities. Hundreds of zones within the landscape are tagged and alter the sound based on where the listener is located in proximity to them. Zones overlap and interact in dynamic ways that, while far from random, will yield a unique experience with each listen. The proprietary design that is the engine behind the app stays hidden from view as the melodies, rhythms, instrumentation and pace of the music vary based on the listeners' chosen path. Unlike other music-related apps, these are not musical toys or instruments. Nor are they a compliment to a traditional album release. The app is the work itself. A musical 'Chose-Your-Own-Adventure' that does not progress in a linear fashion but rather allows the listener to explore the terrain and experience music in way that has never been possible before now. Chris Richards wrote in a Washington Post cover story, "Bluebrain ('The National Mall') is helping to redefine what an album actually can be…it's truly magical".

Title: Blissful Lies
Author: Jennifer Brown-Thomas
Awesomeness: ★★★
Blissful Lies tells a heart-wrenching story exploring the enviable bonds of five best friends, who, in the midst of growing up together, are just starting to realize how much they still have to learn about life. They quickly find the limits of their relationships are tested when secrets and lies rapidly interrupt their picture perfect existence, threatening the stability of years of friendship. At the center of their universe is mother to one group member and Brown-Thomas University Chancellor, Addison Hamilton. Uncertainty in her own life leads her down a path of no return as she finds herself a little too involved with someone many years her junior. While each person is forced to take responsibility for their hidden secret, they wonder if ultimately, it's just too much to move forward as the "family" they once claimed to be. As lives are left in tattered pieces, everyone is forced to choose. Will the group fall apart at the seams or will the strong bonds of everlasting friendship withstand the fire of deceit?
This book is a little different than the previous novels I've read. It consisted not much of detailed elaboration on character's internal feelings and thoughts. The development was hardly to be guessed and it had left me curiously wondering how would the story be depicted further as I read along.
Somehow, this book reminded me of Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars as the hidden secrets were constantly lingered among the elites. Many characters were involved in this story, however, only two persons were majorly portrayed, Addison and Jackson, a sweet, lovely couple despite the huge age discrepancies between them. I am not really a typical fan of May-December romance, but in this book, I found myself sincerely feeling for the couple, and even placed a wish upon their love, hoping they could live happily ever after at the end of the story.
The author's use of words is easily to be understood and somewhat repetitive, but it did not affect my reading experience any less. In fact, it was surprisingly enjoyable and was a quick read. Oftentimes, the story intriguingly urged me to read it like a movie, as if Addison and Jackson were alive in front of my eyes.
The only disappointment of this novel is that, as the story went and reaching the end, there was no major turning point that could spark the climax to the highest level, and to be honest, the ending of this story was totally out of my expectation. Also, other than the Addison-Jackson couple, I could not really relate myself to the rest of the characters because their existence was rather thin in the book due to the lack of description by the author.
Nevertheless, this book is worth to be recommended to those who have a penchant for untold secrets, romance and a little suspense. And I heard that a film of this novel is set to release next year, definitely would like to give it a try if I have the chance.
Disclaimer: Many of the books I received are given to me in exchange for my review. I am in no way paid for my reviews nor am I bound to give a review of anything except my honest opinion.
With love,

Seconds after the admissions folks at the University of Virginia pushed the button releasing decisions on Friday night, the "regulars" on College Confidential began lighting up the discussion board.
"Accepted in-state after previously being deferred!" exclaimed one happy Virginian. "Ahhhhhh I'm so happy!!!"
"I can honestly say that I'm surprised," reported an out-of-state applicant. "I didn't think that my essays were good at all."
But the news wasn't universally happy.
"UVA wasn't my first choice, but it's definitely disappointing to get flat out rejected," mused an applicant from Michigan.
And for those who thought there was no logic to the decisions, Jeannine Lalonde, senior assistant dean of admission (Dean J) was quick to point out, "We dedicate months to this process and arrive at decisions after collaboration and discussion."
To give the decisions some context, Dean J posted preliminary numbers for this year and recommended that admissions junkies with a real "need to know" could research numbers as far back as 1977 on the webpage maintained by the UVa Office of Institutional Assessment.
But the simple comparison with 2013 is interesting enough. Last year at this time, UVa reported receiving 29,005 applications (this number tends to jump around a little) and made initial offers to 8,528 students.
For this year's class, the total number of applications went up by seven percent to 31,042, with the number of in-state applicants increasing from 8,831 reported this time last year to 9,014.
But the bulk of the increase in applications came from out-of-state students who submitted a grand total of 22,028 applications.
To provide for a larger class size, the admissions increased offers to 8,972—about five percent more than last year. Of these offers, 3,903 went to Virginians (3,594 last year), and 5,069 went to out-of-state students (4,934 last year). Overall, the initial admission rate remained steady at about 29 percent.
According to information provided by UVa to the Common Data Set, 4,172 students were offered spots on the wait list last year, and 2,606 accepted the offer. Of those students, 185 were eventually admitted.
In any event, here are all the "unofficial" numbers released today by the UVa admissions office:
Total number of applications: 31,042 (up from 29,005 last year)
Total number of VA applications: 9,014 (up from 8,831 last year)
Total number of out-of-state applications: 22,028 (up from 20,174)
Overall offers: 8,972 (8,528 this time last year)
Total VA offers: 3,903 or 43.2% of resident applications (3,594/40.7% last year)
Total out-of-state offers: 5,069 or 23% of nonresident applications (4,934/24.5% last year)
The offers for nonresidents are higher because historic yield—or percent of students accepting offers—for nonresidents is generally lower.
Dean J also reports that the middle 50% SAT score for admitted students was 1970-2240 (ACT composite: 30-34). And 92.5 percent of the students receiving offers of admission were in the top 10 percent of their class.
"Remember that your decision is not a statement about your value. Most of our applicants are qualified," said Dean J on her blog. "The vast majority of the applicant pool is perfectly capable of doing the work at UVa. Our first-year class just isn't large enough to accommodate everyone."

Three stages of composting
Composters are mainly for individuals and/or households that have a garden. Composting not only helps gardens but greatly improves the environment, as well.
What goes into a composter?
Excluding cooked goods, all biodegradable products can be put into a compost bin. Examples: uncooked vegetables, fruits, eggshells, animal waste products and plant matter.
How does it work?
While all the biodegradable items are sitting in the composter, an activator is mixed into the container. From there, microorganisms feed off the waste products and grow. The mixture in the compost bin heats up and is disinfected. The process can last from anywhere between two weeks or two years, more or less. Afterwards, you receive a dark soil that may be used for ground cover, soil amendment and other various nature related goals.
What kind of maintenance is required?
Composters need to be placed in a warm area or a spot where sun is on the bin for the majority of the day. Water needs to be added enough to make the mixture the consistency of a moist sponge. Compost activators are essential for making sure the waste products are disinfected and safely usable. Oxygen can be provided to the composter by rotating the drum every so often.
Are there more than one kind of composter?
Yes. There are at least three different kinds of compost bins.
- Basic containers come in boxy or round shapes. They usually do not have a bottom. To rotate the pile, the user must manually shovel the mixture around.
- Multiple bin systems can either be purchased or made at home. It is much like basic containers except that there are more bins. After the pile is heated in one bin, it is transferred to another container via shovel. This process is repeated three to five times and helps to speed up the composting process.
- Rotary systems are cylindrical containers that hold the mixture. This set-up has a support structure and can spin on rollers. It is the most expensive system but requires less labor from the user.
What is an activator?
An activator is a compound that is high in nitrogen. Activators help increase the activity of the microorganisms.
What are the pros of compost bins?
- Fewer products will be thrown away.
- For gardeners, the soil will be rich in nutrients.
- The resulting soil helps the ground by providing moisture as well as nutritious components.
- If people continue to accumulate compost bins, landfills will have less waste.
What are the cons of compost bins?
- Compost bins do take up a decent amount of space.
- They can be smelly.
- Time must be dedicated to make sure the process is going along smoothly.
Where can I purchase a compost bin?
Compost bins can be purchased at hardware store as well as online. Envirocycle, Home Depot and Lowes are well known compost bin retailers.

|Barone turns pro
Former Idaho men's basketball player and 2013 Western Athletic Conference Player of the Year Kyle Barone has officially turned professional, as he signed a contract with PGE Turow Zgorzelec in Poland.
"What a great accomplishment for Kyle," Idaho head coach Don Verlin said. "To sign with a major team over in Europe, what a great chance to start building your professional resume. I truly believe one day we will see Kyle in the NBA, he's just that type of player once he grows up and gets bigger and stronger and learns to play at that level. I think you'll see him continually get better like he did here at Idaho."
Barone averaged 17.1 points, 9.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.2 blocks per game for the Vandals last season, and left Idaho as one of the most prolific big men in program history. His 126 games played are a program record, as he never missed a game in his four-year career. His 869 rebounds are second in program history and his 1,433 career points are third best.
In addition to Barone, former Vandal point guard Landon Tatum has signed a professional contract with Germany's Gotha II. Tatum started all 33 games for Idaho in 2011-12 and averaged 7.4 points, 4.7 assists and 2.4 rebounds per game.

Can mind alone overcome the matter of mental health?
I am sure everyone has heard of the placebo effect: sugar pills having similar effects of antidepressant medication. Something like 40% of patients taking the sugar pill got better, compared to the 60% of those taking the actual prescribed medication. The fact that is not mentioned in the report of the study, is that the placebo effect takes place among that 60% as well.
Studies show that actual physical changes in neurochemistry and brain activity occur as a result of belief. These chemical changes happen in addition to those caused by medication or the sugar alone. Individual differences in belief play significant roles here.
A portion of the prefrontal cortex of the brain has been correlated with the prevalence of a placebo. This part of the brain is capable of extinguishing the fear and negativity that is created, causing a physiologically healing response. Studies also show that left-handedness is correlated with the placebo effect as they tend not to over-analyze things.
We attach beliefs to everything that we do. Thus, if you believe the morning glass of water is going to cure your depression, it might. Drumming, yoga, qigong, meditation, and many other practices within the healing arts have this in common. The key is truly believing, and witnessing instantaneous and long term effects.
Please note that I do not condemn medications, as they have their place in recovery and in many situations are necessary. For extreme cases, chemical intervention is required to return the brain to a stable state, but is not the end of the line.
Something to think about: What about your day do you look forward to? Is there something that you can do to bring yourself an overwhelming sense of calm? Is there a different way for you to look at your situation that relieves anxiety and dissolves fear? ...I believe that there always is...and that the entire human being benefits from this...

A girl of 14 died after her stomach ruptured while she was being violently sick at a holiday camp.
Jessica Ashton-Pyatt was on a half-term break with pals at Butlins when the horrific incident triggered a heart attack.
Hours later her distraught mum Nicola had to say goodbye at her bedside after doctors said they were unable to save her.
Mrs Pyatt, 32, was at home in Clayton, Staffordshire, when she was told Jessica had fallen seriously ill at the camp in Skegness, Lincolnshire, earlier this month.
The youngster was rushed to hospital in Boston, but her condition rapidly deteriorated.
Medics said her ruptured stomach had caused irreparable damage.
Jessica and her friends had arrived just 24 hours before the tragedy.
Mum-of-four Mrs Pyatt said: "They had been having a ball on the Friday. Then on the Saturday, Jessica wasn't feeling well."
She and husband Andy were devastated when they arrived at the hospital and medics told them their was no hope.
Mrs Pyatt said: "I found it really hard to take. It was just so sudden and unexpected.
"The doctors said they had never come across such a case.
"When they said there was nothing more they could do, my first words were, 'No, she can't die – I've already got her Christmas presents'. "
Jessica's funeral was held last week and her entire year group at Thistley Hough High, in Penkhull, Staffordshire, formed a guard of honour for her horse-drawn coffin.
The school plans to set up an award in honour of Jessica, who was a talented artist and writer.
Head Holly Hartley said: "She was one of the brightest students and had a wide circle of friends."
Jessica's three brothers – Lewis, 12, Thomas, seven, and four-year-old Charlie – have been struggling to cope.
Lewis said: "We had lots of arguments, but I love her. She did a good job of being a sister to me."

As part of the brand's commitment to local communities, Richard Mille has also offered to donate a unique timepiece to auction on behalf of the club's charitable association City in the Community.

There are four Masses that are celebrated for the feast of Christmas, and each is given its own set of readings to help us contemplate Christ's birth. The Gospel for the Vigil Mass on Christmas Eve is taken from the beginning of the Gospel of Matthew, the genealogy of Jesus and the angel's announcement of the birth to Joseph. The Mass at midnight proclaims the birth of Jesus through the angels' announcement to the shepherds in the Gospel of Luke. Luke 2:15-20 is the reading for the mass at dawn on Christmas morning. It continues the story of the birth of Jesus as found in Luke's Gospel with the shepherds' visit to the infant Jesus. Finally, the Gospel for Christmas Mass during the day is taken from the beginning of John's Gospel. It is not an Infancy Narrative like those found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Instead, John's Gospel starts at the very beginning of time and presents Creation as the framework for announcing the Incarnation. John's opening words echo the first verse in the Book of Genesis, "In the beginning was the Word."
The story of Jesus' birth, which begins with a reference to Caesar Augustus, concludes with the shepherds, people looked down on by most of society, visiting the infant. As the angels return to heaven, the shepherds decide to go see "this thing" that has happened in Bethlehem. Their visit confirms everything the angels had told them about the birth of the Savior and Messiah. They then spoke publicly about all they had seen, to the great astonishment of all who heard. Mary ponders all this in her heart, and the shepherds return to their fields praising God. What had been told to them really happened. This account does not tell us very much about the infant Jesus because Luke's concern is that God's action of sending a savior be publicly proclaimed. As Paul says before King Agrippa in Acts of the Apostles 26:26, "None of this was done in a corner." The picture is simple, two parents and an infant in a stable. But the reality is great, God's salvation offered to all.
