Bob Moriarty is full of shit. I read an interesting article today by Bob Moriarty of 321Gold.com fame where he pretty much shoots a hole through the heart of us Silver Vigilantes but, like all other precious metals bears, he has come to a battle of the wits unarmed. This is without a doubt the longest blog post ever on this site but if you are a holder / buyer of silver I want you to read every single word by Bob. I will follow his argument with some basic questions and comments which, in his zeal to discredit us, he fails to address.
Facts on Silver
Bob Moriarty
Apr 25, 2011
For those who missed my piece of March 25, 2011, here is the link. I asked the question, "Is Silver Topping?" I may have been right about silver topping, only time will tell. For certain I was dead wrong about the timing and the price. Silver has rocketed from $38 and change when I wrote the piece to over $47 now.
But lots of people get lots of things wrong about silver. So here are some facts.
1. Silver is going parabolic.
According to Jim Rogers all parabolic moves end badly. I have seen similar charts in all kinds of commodities and they always correct. Parabolic charts mark tops. So when silver bugs start suggesting, "This time it's different" I know better.
Study the chart below. Ignore the commodity. When charts go parabolic, it ends badly. I was an investor in the 1970s in both gold and silver. I started buying gold at $35 and silver around $5 an ounce. I sold out all my silver in January of 1980 a week too early at $35 as it rocketed to $50.25 an ounce at the open on January 21, 1980. It went parabolic and basically that's all you need to know.
Those investors who want to buy at new all time highs almost always are the same investors who want to sell at all time lows. Naturally as a guy running a metals site, I think $46 silver is wonderful for all my readers that I was telling to buy at $4 and $6 and $10 and $20. Is silver a good buy today? No, it's a good sale… to those who insist on buying at tops.
2. The actual ratio of silver to gold in the earth's crust is not 16 to 1.
It's more like between 20 or 26 or 64 to one. This is not an absolute fact, these are opinions from experts but no experts conclude the ratio is 16-1. Go to Wikipedia and do the math for yourself.
What happens on the web is that one guy starts a rumor saying there are tens of thousands of gold-plated tungsten bars out there. Some other fool adds a few "facts" to the rumor and all of a sudden hundreds of sites are writing about fake gold bars.
Alas, years later not a single tungsten bar has showed up. It was rubbish and anyone who understood anything about metalworking would understand that technically it would be very hard to do. All 400 ounce gold bars are tracked and if by some strange process someone managed to counterfeit one, he would be caught at once. But you can sell a lot of subscriptions to those who pay to have their fantasies catered to.
It doesn't matter how many people claim the ratio of silver to gold is 16-1, it simply isn't true.
3. There is no shortage of silver. There never has been a shortage of silver. Until the laws of supply and demand are repealed, there never will be a shortage of silver.
The first person I ever read that claimed there was a shortage of silver was Ted Butler. He claimed in May that according to his figures the world was going to totally run out of silver by December. This was on the Kitco forum. I wrote and told him he was dead wrong, there were billions of ounces of silver above ground. His response was that according to his numbers, we would be out of silver bullion and that would drive the price of silver all by itself to between $50 and $100 an ounce. In a vacuum. Without gold going up or oil or anything else going up because of inflation. Silver was that rare.
My retort was that with billions of ounces around, prices would soon turn Grannie's silver service into silver bullion. He insisted I didn't know what I was talking about; he was the silver "GURU." The exchange took place in May of 2001 and by December of 2001 I had correctly called the bottom in silver while he was insisting that it would be $50 an ounce. One of us was dead right.
But then he was also the guy claiming that silver was the most critical war material and if we ever go into a war, that would drive silver prices to between $50 and $100 an ounce and it was so rare that you should, "never, never, ever sell silver." With the US engaged in three different wars at the same time, you would think that silver would be $300 an ounce. It's not.
My question is, "If you were smart enough to buy 100 ounces of silver at $4 an ounce, a 5000-year low in real terms, how much profit have you made if silver goes to $50 or $100 or $300 and you never, never, ever sell? The answer, of course, and ignored by all the silver "GURUS" is that if you buy low and don't sell ever, you don't make any profit. That may be the dumbest investment advice I have ever heard.
Silver is a commodity like any other. If you are smart enough to buy it cheap and you are smart enough to sell it when it gets expensive, you will profit. If you want to buy at all time highs, good luck with that.
There are 19 billion ounces of silver above ground today. People talking about silver "bullion" inventories are being misleading. Silver is silver is silver and it only takes a day to turn a few 200 year-old-tea pots into a boring 1000 ounce "bullion" bar.
Just how accurate is the 19 billion ounce figure? We can figure that out with simple logic. I think the figure accepted by more people for total silver production ever would be about 45 billion ounces. A favorite argument of the permabulls is that silver is consumed, not recycled. Let's think about that. Silver is used in computers, iPhones, aircraft, and lots of commercial purposes where it isn't recycled. But that use of silver wasn't common until perhaps 1960. Silver before that time was recycled. Yes, silver coins did wear but they didn't wear out, they might lose 20% of their original weight.
If 45 billion ounces were produced, it's more logical that a good percentage of it is still around. I was in my coin dealer's shop a week ago. He bought 2800 ounces of silver on Saturday. Not a bar of bullion in the bunch but 2800 ounces of real silver in other forms. The numbers on silver are not hard numbers; we simply don't know how much silver is around. But we do know there is a lot of silver and with the exception of a short period between the end of November of 1979 and January 21 of 1980, a mere six weeks later, silver has been well under $10 an ounce on average for the last 40 years. How rational is $46 silver? Not very.
I'd guess most silver mines have cash costs between $3 and $10. A market price of $46 an ounce will suck silver out of grannies' closets and out of the ground at the same time. Every silver refinery in the world is running at capacity right now, if you want silver, there is a lot of it around.
4. The most illogical thinking and worst use of "facts" is common among the silver uberbulls and the parrots that follow them.
Someone just posted the most incredible theory on the validity of SLV. That's the silver ETF that has been trashed for years by a small group of uberbulls with an agenda. One of their supporters came up with a brilliant argument. Since we don't really know and can't prove that SLV actually has all the physical silver, the proof that it is a scam is when they deny it being a scam. Read that carefully. The proof that it is a scam is when they deny it.
So, apparently, if you ask the people behind SLV if it is a scam and they admit it, that means we know it's a scam since they admitted it. And if you ask the people behind the SLV if it is a scam and they deny it, that also means it is a scam because the proof is when they deny it.
I think that's circular logic. No matter what the people behind SLV say, it's a scam.
I have said in the past I have reservations about ETFs and I think investors should be aware of those reservations. If we have a total economic collapse and the financial system freezes, all ETFs could be frozen or worse for months. That includes Sprott's paper silver, the CEF and SLV and all ETFs of all sorts. What happened in Argentina could happen in the US, it could happen all over the world. It's entirely possible that all banks close for a good period of time, after all they are insolvent now and have been since September of 2008. But a financial freeze would affect all forms of paper silver including Sprott's silver trust.
The CEF fund and the SLV have done more to improve the price of silver and gold than any other single action in the last 50 years. Silver bugs should be grateful SLV holds 366 million ounces of silver instead they are whining and posting simply absurd articles totally lacking in either facts or logic.
When someone posts something that ridiculous and lacking in logic, you may safely presume they don't know what they are talking about. That's real common when people write about silver and it's going to cost investors a whole lot of money.
The daily bullish consensus on silver is 96% as of Wednesday the 20th of April. On January 21st of 1980, the very day of the top, the bullish consensus was 94%. How many of the silver uberbulls are suggesting that maybe the record high bullish consensus is suggesting a very dangerous time to start buying? The answer is damned few because they have an agenda and their agenda doesn't involve them knowing what they are talking about. As long as they tell investors what they want to hear, they will be very popular.
5. There cannot be a run on Comex. The rules do not allow the chance for a run.
For years I have watched as each time silver runs up, certain people start spreading rumors that silver is in such shortage that there will be a run on Comex. The only problem with the rumor is that it can't possibly happen. There cannot be a run on Comex. I repeat, there cannot be a run on Comex.
Part of the reason for the rumor is that most investors confuse the purpose of the exchanges. The purpose of the exchanges is not to exchange commodities. The purpose of the exchanges is to determine price. But certainly the possibility of a run on an exchange is possible so early on the exchanges adopted rules that called for cash settlement if necessary.
Most people don't know this because they don't read the small print but if you have a savings account, the bank has the right to withhold payment for up to 90 days. And all mortgages are essentially 90 notes at their heart. That's right, the bank can demand full payment within 90 days if they wish and during the 1930s that's how thousands of Americans lost their homes even when they were paying their mortgage.
I don't write the rules and you don't write the rules and they are what they are if you like it or not. There cannot be a run on silver, it's impossible. So anyone writing about it is spreading disinformation. Of course anyone who ever passed a Series 7 exam know this but you will never hear the silver uberbulls mention it. I wonder why.
There are three guys in the mining business that are so smart and have such great track records that for 70% of investors in metals, they should buy into their mutual funds and stop trying to outsmart the market by picking stocks. The top three guys in the industry are Ken Gerbino, Eric Sprott and Frank Holmes. If you like metals and shares in resource stocks, stop trying to be so smart yourself, it's difficult work. Hand your money to them to invest in one of their funds and you will do just fine.
That said, Eric Sprott seems to have done something that hasn't happened to the market since the days of Johnny Carson. You have to be getting on in age to remember it but back in 1973 Johnny Carson started a toilet paper shortage that lasted a month. He was making a joke. He said that there was a toilet paper shortage. The next day, millions of rolls of toilet paper flew off the shelves of every store in the US and by noon there was no toilet paper to be had. It was nothing but a joke.
Don't let anyone convince you that supply and demand doesn't work. They do work and that's far more important for you to know than belief in some mysterious manipulation conspiracy theory. I've heard all the stories and know all the arguments. No one in history has made a cent from a belief in market manipulation.
If gold has gone up 4100% since 1950, higher than any other commodity, anyone manipulating it down has done a piss poor job. And who cares if 4 guys have sold more silver short than exists in the known universe? Those are all interesting theories but that's all they are. If you don't buy low and sell high, you can't make money. End of story.
Eric Sprott started his own paper silver fund called the Sprott Physical Silver Trust. It's still paper silver like SLV or the CEF fund. It has some unique features, not benefits but features. He has done a brilliant job of promoting it.
Recently he purchased $300 million dollars more physical silver to put in the closed fund. As a result of his excellent promotion, as of last Wednesday, silver was selling for $46. If you bought the CEF silver fund, you paid $47.88 for silver. If you bought SLV, you paid $46 with no premium but if you bought PSLV, the Sprott Silver Trust, you paid an incredible $57.73 an ounce for silver.
I'd say that Eric Sprott buying $300 million dollars more silver lately was incredible timing. He pocketed probably $60 million in profit. Is Eric Sprott bullish on silver? I'd say so. He has 60 million reasons to be bullish. He can buy at the exact top of silver and watch a 25% decline and still make money.
How wise was it for investors to pay a 25% premium for silver? I'd like to believe my readers are smart enough to figure that out for themselves. Eric Sprott is both brilliant and rich but paying 25% over spot is not wise investing.
The Hunt Brothers investing in silver drove silver to $50.25 an ounce for a few minutes on January 21, 1980. I think it would be fair to credit the silver boom of 2011 to Eric Sprott. He's not really saying anything new about silver, though, Ted Butler was claiming that we were about to run out of silver 10 years ago and claiming that silver was the most manipulated of all metals long before Eric Sprott bought his first ounce of silver for a fund. But Eric Sprott adds credibility. But we weren't running out of silver ten years ago. We aren't running out of silver now.
One of two things is going to happen. Either we are at a top and silver is about to crash both hard and long, or the world's financial system is about to fall apart. I have been an advocate of a total financial crash for a lot longer than most writers. I was writing about the dangers of derivatives in 2002 when they were 15% of what they are now.
But I don't believe the world's financial system is going to crash next week. As in January of 1980, the silver bulls are going to be the ones losing money. You can't profit if you don't sell and all the permabulls are screaming "Buy, buy, buy." As they will at every top. Buying at record high prices is rarely profitable. But perhaps this time it really is different.
Here's what all potential investors in silver need to know.
- The chart of silver has gone parabolic. Parabolic charts mark tops no matter what the commodity.
- The bullish consensus on silver is at a record high. Record high bullish consensus on any commodity is common at tops.
- When the most credible guys in an industry start explaining why supply and demand don't really work, it's a top. With 19 billion ounces of silver above ground we aren't about to run out any time soon.
- When guys start writing about silver that didn't have a clue as to what it was or what it was used for at the bottom, you are at a top. I'm astonished at both the ignorance and the arrogance of the newly invented silver "Gurus."
- When the smartest guys in an industry start telling you, "This time it's different," it's not. It's just a top.
Bob Moriarty
President: 321gold
Okay, so you made it to here. Are you wondering if this guy is right? Are you wondering if silver is a bad 'investment' Are you confused?
Bob Moriarty, while writing a long, somewhat logical argument against precious metals, he has omitted some key points that we, as Silver Vigilantes, have used as our primary reasons for buying precious metals.
1) Bob has failed to address the naked short positions that JP Morgan Chase holds in the silver market. They use these weapons of mass financial destruction to artificially keep the price of silver lower than it would otherwise be in a true free market. Why is SLV lower than the actual metal? Using Bob's logic he would have you think that because SLV is worth less than the spot price of actual silver, that the paper is the true value of silver. This is delusional. As Max Keiser says, he suffers from Stockholm Syndrome. He is in love with his captors.
2) Bob has failed to address the COMEX settling contracts with cash + 25% bonus because they do not have the metal to pay. Further to that, if you refer to my article Harvey Organ Reveals Scotiabank Bankster Activity in Canada that I wrote on January 13, 2011, you will see that there are shady dealings in the silver market, due to short supplies.
3) Most importantly Bob has failed to address the impending collapse of the US Dollar because of the FED flooding the market with fiat to keep the economy propped up. In so doing, inflation is driving the cost of everything up, all the while eroding savings in US Dollars. He makes the fundamental mistake of viewing precious metal through fiat colored glasses. He does not address precious metals being a hedge against inflation through currency devaluation. Something that has been the case for a few thousand years.
4) Bob does not address the insatiable appetite that the electronics and weapons industry has for silver. The Industrial demand for silver is growing, thus dramatically reducing the above-ground supplies of physical silver.
5) Bob does not address that the silver market is now global. Some of the largest countries, population wise, now have more disposable income and are buyers and consumers of silver. Yes Bob, China and India buy a lot of silver.
Now with respect to the Sprott Physical Silver Trust NYSE: PSLV and TSX: PHS.TO. I agree with Bob on this product being overvalued. The premium is too high. When a person is paying approximately $1.24 for $1.00 worth of silver, that is a premium that is too high. Sprott Physical Silver Trust is not a scam but it is a victim of its own success. While a premium above spot price is expected 20-25% is too much. I did hold positions in PSLV and PHS.TO but sold them. I got in at a price of $12.59 and cashed out at $22.70. You do the fiat math…a nice tidy profit. If you listened to Bob you would buy bonds or mutual funds or some other paper shit investment vehicle. Lucky for me I am taking my paper profit and buying more physical silver and some living off of the grid supplies.
Lastly, I challenge Bob Moriarty to come clean on his motives for his article. He has gone to great lengths to bash silver and gold bugs. Why? How many short positions does he own in paper silver? I would suggest that when silver tops $100 he will still be on a rant about how silver is overpriced. He does not understand that silver does not go up nor down in value…it is the manipulation of fiat paper and expression silver's worth in fiat that changes. The value of silver is fixed. The value of paper is an illusion. HE REALLY DOES NOT GET IT.
Before I end this you should know that I expect dips in the price of silver in the coming weeks as the fraud in the paper market attempts to drive down the price. That is when I will enter into a strong buy position as I continue to convert all of my wealth to physical silver bullion. In the meantime I will leave this little bit of education from Mike Maloney for Bob. I can also recommend a good therapist to talk you down from your brainwashing.
And this video which further discredits Bob Moriarty's delusional propaganda:
London Source – Asian Buyers Will Take Silver Over $100
KWN's London source has updated King World News on the massive Asian buyers which have been accumulating gold and silver. The London source stated, "$3 to $4 dollar days in silver will become common, from now on $2 days will be considered slow. There will be a great deal of volatility going forward, but more often than not silver will close near the highs."
The London Source continues:
"Right now the silver shorts are being flushed out in Asian trading on light volume and we have options expiration ahead of us. 38,000 silver contracts are in the money and the question is how many will ask for delivery?
As I mentioned to you previously, the Asians have also been taking delivery of silver out of SLV and will continue to do so. You have to understand that these Asian buyers are planning to take delivery of all of the available physical silver they can get their hands on and will continue doing so for the foreseeable future."
When asked at what price the Chinese will stop buying silver the London source replied, "The Chinese want out of dollars and they will continue aggressively purchasing both gold and silver in order to diversify. They don't care whether silver is $50, $60 or $100, they will just continue accumulating. The Chinese may be patient buyers, accumulating on weakness, but you can bet that their relentless purchases of physical silver will eventually push the price well over $100 an ounce."
As Dan Norcini and I discussed this weekend on the KWN Weekly Metals Wrap, the Asians are steering the bus in the silver market as the paper shorts lost control some time ago.
Eric King
Apmex Starts Reverse Inquiry: Seeks To Buy "Any Quantity" Of Silver From Clients At $3 Over Spot
Over the past hour Zero Hedge has been inundated with reader comments notifying us that Ampex has, validating the earlier post speculating about a possible silver shortage at the metals distributor, launched a "reverse ïnquiry" in which it will pay "you $3.00 over the current spot price of Silver for your Silver American Eagles. ANY year, ANY quantity!" and "We will pay you $38.00 over the current spot price of Gold for your Gold American Eagles. ANY year, ANY quantity!" So aside from this first public confirmation that one of the biggest wholesale retailers of precious metals is now inventoryless [sic], we can certainly see why Asia has decided to take silver down in the afterhours electronic session.
Technorati Tags: Bob Moriarty, 321Gold.com, Max Keiser, Sprott Physical Silver Trust, PSLV, Mike Maloney, PHS.TO, Silver Fraud, SLV, JP Morgan, Harvey Organ, Bob Moriarty is full of shit, King World News, Zero Hedge
DISCLOSURE: On April 26 2011 I have submitted buy orders for PSLV and PHS.U for a target of $19.50. Sure I could short it but that would make me a silver bear which I am not. I have suspected a dip in silver prices and it has happened this AM. Of course this bargain price will not last so I am buying more more more.
and if the price does not come down to $19.50 I won't buy.
January 14th, 2012 at 10:15 am
So who was full of shit, Mad Ape?
Bob called that silver was in a parabolic state, that it would top, and that it was therfore not a good time to invest in it. That was in April of 2011. What happened? It topped in May 2011, has had two brutal correctioins and is trading around 30 bucks. If you invested in it at its top at its near top, which Bob called and advised against, you got hurt and are still a long way from even breaking even.
In other words, Bob was not full of shit: he was dead-on right. You, in challenging his reasoning and timing, were dead-on wrong. So who was actually full of shit? And did you ever have the cajones to admit your mistake? And no, I am not Bob Moriarty's brother-in-law, shill, or anything else other than someone calling you out.
Phil Marqui
True story:
I walk into the coin dealer and dump my 3,000 oz of silver at 49$ in spring 2011.
A young guy comes over and asks why Im selling and he thinks theres anther 10 points in it. He buys my $150,000.00 worth right there. I boulght at 5-10 and 17 bucks and happy with a profit. A short bit later his investment was worth as low as $80,000.00. Yes I must be an idiot along with Bob!

"The Locker Room is Off The Charts, Man."
Sure, there's $261 million of awesome throughout all of new Husky Stadium.
But for Keith Price and most of his teammates, the Dawgs' gigantic new locker room may be the most awesome asset of all.
"The locker room is off the charts, man. It's huge. It's HUGE!" the senior quarterback said this week, upon the Huskies moving into it.
The Barnard Family Locker Room just off the west end zone of the re-done stadium is about three times larger than the team's old one, which was in the basement of Alaska Airlines Arena. The new room ended up being in the rough shape of a W, with huge lockers for each player in sections that branch off from an open center with a W sewn into the carpeted floor. There are flat-screen, high-definition televisions galore; seven on the walls that are Xbox compatible, plus nine more without frames at the room's front center. Those middle screens can display one, huge image – such as team motivational videos -- while coach Steve Sarkisian or anyone else addresses the team.
"All the flat screens around; I don't even think we need all those flat screens," Price said with a laugh. "They are everywhere. Everywhere you turn there's another flat screen."
Another popular perk: Helmet-gold, over-sized, beanbag-like, Fatboy-brand pillows on which the Huskies can lounge. Those are spread across the exquisitely carpeted floor.
Players, coaches and staff access the locker room with key-card entry through one of two front, glass doors. Or, for practices and games, players can exit and enter en masse through two large garage doors that open and close electronically.
The lockers are open-facing to the center of the room to promote team chemistry. Each has jewel-box light set within it to highlight each player's helmet shelf. Each locker also has a personal storage area protected by a locking device the player activates with a personal code he punches into a keypad. There is a charging port for electronics inside each mini safe.
There is also player's lounge area built within the locker room. Just steps away: the weight room, training room, meeting rooms and a nutrition bar that supplies smoothies, energy bars, bagels and other healthy.
So yes, the Huskies' exquisite, new locker room is truly a player's home away from home. And a wowing one, at that.
"Oh god, the locker room!" linebacker John Timu gushed on the first full day he occupied it. "It's so big!
"Like, I don't even know where to go to lie down. You walk in -- and drop."

MATH GENIUS COURSES, Muscat, Oman
Math Genius School is part of MyEduzone Group focus in providing specialised mathematic courses. Math Genius is about mental arithmetic which provides technical skill in mathematics that can be acquired intensively through finely structured. The technical skill help children to strengthens and improve their mathematical competence in calculating with speed, and of course accuracy.
Many people often assume that learning mental arithmetic is merely a method to improve the speed and accuracy of calculations, for example, adding 10-digit numbers withln a few seconds. By itself,it is already an amazing accomplishment for most young children.
for more info
Concentration is the concentrated and directed attention towards a particular matter with clear reflection that creates a deep image and mental impression. An enhanced concentration leads to better absorption power. Studying will then be a joyfuI thlng for these children. In the abacus and mental arithmetic education children will be tralned to concentrate when Iistening to the teachers questions (that ranges from easy to difficult) and then focus on calculating the answers as accurately as possible.
Observtion is the ability to compare and analyse and differentiate objects, motives and steps. It is also a state of alertness and swiftness of the mind and senses. This comes from the need to understand the theoretical requirements of each calculation and at the same time be aware of the time, and promptings from the teachers.
Visualization and Imagination
By using the imagination of the right braln to visualize the abacus in mind, inevitably the powers of visualization would become sharp and clear. Albert Einstein believes that the imagination is important than knowledge, because imagination is the main source of yet-to-be-discovered knowledge.
Memory is the ability to store and retrieve information and experiences. It has been found that memory in the left brain would not stay long, but an image that is recorded in the right brain would stay on in the mind forever. By stimulating the right brain with mental arithmetic, and in combination with the alertness of the eyes, ears and hands, the ability to store and recall is developed together.
Therefore, the ability to solve 10-digits arithmetic problems in only a few seconds is only a small success in comparison to the actual mental training that has been done in order to achieve the skill to perform rapid calculations.

This is a way of life
Saturday, October 13, 2012
Every change I've made over the past 4 weeks has paid off and paid off big time!! I have lost about 10lbs, I feel amazing, I get good solid sleep at night, my anxiety has diminished greatly, and frankly - I'm just proud of myself.
I am 100% Gluten Free. Ok, not to the point of checking toothpaste and such like someone with Celiac disease but if it has wheat, it's not in my food. I am cooking 100% of my meals. There is almost zero eating out occurring. As I drove home at 1pm starving from work today, I began considering take-out. Instead of the different places sounding "good" - I kept saying "well, if I eat that, what am I at risk for?". I am realizing food is HEALTH. Food is staying well when everyone else is sick around me. Food is fuel and my body runs it's best off what I KNOW is right!
I have been walking almost every day and hit the gym for serious on my day off this week (it was a busy week!). It was the first time I worked out to the point of "sore" the next day - a good sore though. I felt so accomplished!! I was feeling bad about getting "anxious" about 10-15 minutes into working out or walking each time. My therapist told me that's TOTALLY NORMAL! It's the body getting confused about what it's feeling - the increase in heat, surge in heart rate, hormone release - and just let it pass over you and it'll go away. Well she was right - and it was worth it 100%!
Today was an example of why I'm doing what I'm doing. I worked my contingent job today - I'm not as comfortable there as I'm only there about 1-2 times each month. I had my breakfast smoothie and then kinda didn't eat much from 7:30 am til about noon when I nibbled down a gluten free meal replacement bar. I missed my typical morning fruit and then 11am yogurt. I have this down to a science for a good reason - fueling a 12 hour shift is unique. Well I only worked a 6hr shift and when I got on the road at 1:15 I was STARVING. I had sipped on sierra mist and apple juice combo (weird, i know) so my head was clear but already hurting from no protein. By the time I got home, I just started eating and eating and eating before my stomach knew it was full. I consumed 1200 calories for this mid-lunch/dinner meal ALONE! Then I wondered why I was extremely sleepy and nauseated when I woke up. Uh, DUH! It was a lesson that even though the food might be "good" food - binge eating isn't something I do anymore and my body is NOT appreciative! Lesson learned - check!
I also wanted to mention I have added Holy Basil into my routine. I drink Tulsi (same thing) tea regularly during the day, maybe 1-2 cups and then take the extract in capsule form 450mg two times each day. It is extremely soothing and is an "adaptive" herb meaning it helps your body react appropriately to stress. For people that are anxious, it's supposed to help stop that over-reaction of fight/flight to the simple things in life. Well, so far so good. Still taking a little Xanax to keep my wits about me but I really do feel over-all a sense of improvement.
I've also found a great hypnotherapy app on the iPhone. I listen to one of them every night. Puts me to sleep in just minutes and it's got great subtle suggestions throughout. I sleep more deeply and calmly than ever before. I highly recommend! I'm going to try to add in yoga this upcoming week whenever possible. My therapist says it's highly effective for anxiety and overall wellness so why not give it a try? My schedule may be crazy but I must fit these things in for my health and sanity!!
Well it's super dark, rainy, and gloomy in southeastern Michigan today. Guess I shall tackle some homework and reading for class so I am ahead of the game this week. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend :)

TV Minister, Wife
Guilty of Prostitution
by Cliff Walker
adapted from his collection of news clippings
August, 1982
Detroit -- A minister and his wife pleaded guilty to charges of prostitution. The wife apparently sold her husband's services to a woman stranger coming out of a bank. The woman then called police and played along with the arrangement until $110 changed hands.
The minister was the host of two religious radio programs and one religious TV program.
Cries of Religious Oppression
Falwell Graduates Denied
Biology Certifications
by Cliff Walker
adapted from his collection of news clippings
August, 1982
Richmond -- A committee for the Virginia Board of Education unanimously recommended denying teacher certification to biology graduates of the Liberty Baptist College of Lynchburg. The school's chancellor, the Reverend Jerry Falwell, had announced that biology teachers were being trained to teach the religious doctrine of creationism.
The Liberty Baptist College Biology Department's head said that to say they "can't teach creationism and at the same time be certified as teachers [constitutes] religious oppression."
Community College
Won't Teach Origins
by Cliff Walker
adapted from his collection of news clippings
August, 1982
Ventura, California -- The Ventura County Community College governing board could not develop a satisfactory course on evolution and origins.
Any compromise would antagonize one side or the other, so the college decided not to teach the subject at all.
Catholic Priest
Ditches Secret Wife
by Cliff Walker
adapted from his collection of news clippings
April, 1982
Pinellas Park, Florida -- A 56-year-old woman filed a $5,000,000 lawsuit against her lover, his bishop, and the U.S. representative of Pope John Paul II.
She claims she had an affair with a Romen Catholic priest.
She alleges that the priest bought her a house, gave her a wedding band, gave her an official Church marriage, and promised to leave the priesthood. Instead, however, he moved out of town, leaving her "abandoned, deserted, and compromised."
Fetuses Make Gruesome
Anti-Choice Display
by Cliff Walker
adapted from his collection of news clippings
April, 1982
Chino, California -- Authorities found three fetuses hanging in an empty field near Chino, California, displayed with posters denouncing abortion.
"Each one had, like, a little hangman's nose around the neck" said a deputy coroner.
Unitarian Universalist
Okays Gay Marriages
by Cliff Walker
adapted from his collection of news clippings
September, 1982
Columbus, Ohio -- The Unitarian Universalist Church became the first major religious denomination to acknowledge marriages between gay and lesbian couples.
With an overwhelming majority, the 1300 delegates at the Unitarians' 23rd General Assembly, responded to arguments that such unions were not a matter of civil rights but a matter of human rights. They voted overwhelmingly to sanction the "spiritual unions" of gay and lesbian couples in marriage.
Some Unitarian ministers have been conducting such weddings for over a decade.
Lapland Sect Smashes
by Cliff Walker
adapted from his collection of news clippings
September, 1975
Rovaniemi, Finnish Lapland -- A sect of Lutheranism called the Laestadians smashes television sets in an effort to stamp out sin in Lapland. In one community, the sect has even condemns washing machines with windows because they allow people to observe the laundering of women's underwear. In the 1920s, the group smashed radios.
Police cannot stop the smashers because they pay for the damage and their victims are reluctant to file formal complaints.
Where Church Equals State
Saudi Arabia Bans
by Cliff Walker
adapted from his collection of news clippings
September, 1975
Mecca -- Saudi Arabia has banned the use and importation of all forms of contraceptives. This follows a ruling by the World Moslem League that "birth control was invented by the enemies of Islam."
The decree makes smuggling of pills or contraceptive devices into the country punishable by six months in prison and further prohibits the use of any means to prevent conception. [Does this include abstinence?]
A Saudi official said, "The kingdom needs more and more males for work, and more and more females to bear and raise babies."
Clean Living Mormons
Live Longer
by Cliff Walker
adapted from his collection of news clippings
May, 1975
Los Angeles -- UCLA scientist Dr. James E. Enstrom of UCLA studied 400,000 California Mormons, discovering that they have 50 percent fewer cases of cancer than the average American. Mormon teaching forbids the use of tobacco, alcohol, coffee, tea, and non-medicinal drugs. The Chruch also recommends a well-balanced diet, with emphasis on grains and fruits and a moderate use of meat.
Dr. Enstrom noted that, while many Mormons do not strictly observe Church teaching, they do tend, as a group, to smoke and drink about half as much as the general population.
Divinely Ordained Menu
Passover's Little Secret
by Woody Johnson
April, 1998
Jews observing the eight-day holiday of Passover, a celebration of their ancestors' alleged deliverance from Egyptian slavery, often seek deliverance from another kind of bondage: constipation after the traditional holiday meal.
Matzo, unless it's made of whole wheat, has very little fiber. Many Jewish families have built-in preventatives such as a fruit compote or a special mix of carrots, yams and dried fruits.
Baptist Minister to
Film Porn Patrons
by Woody Johnson
May, 1975
Sacramento -- A Baptist minister has threatened to take photographs of customers who patronize adult bookstores, movie theaters, and massage parlors. The Reverend James Wilkins of the Landmark Baptist Tabernacle is leading a country-wide anti-smut campaign.
Wilkins said the Church does not intend to employ the photos "in any form of blackmail at all" but expressed hope that newspapers and television stations would use some of the pictures. "If pornography is good and wholesome and right, then certainly [the customers] would never care one bit if they have their pictures taken," he declared.
District Attorney John Price was questioned about the legality of the plan. He replied, "It wouldn't break any laws that I know of, but [Wilkins] might get himself a mouthful of fist."
Lutheran Synod Demands
Right To Discriminate
by Cliff Walker
adapted from his collection of news clippings
December, 1974
Milwaukee -- A Wisconsin Lutheran Synod education official says the church intends to appeal a U.S. Labor Department discrimination ruling. The Feds require that female teachers at the Synod high school be paid the same as male teachers doing comparable work.
The Church argues that it has a religious right to discriminate on the basis of sex: the Bible assigns more responsibility to men than to women in the church.
Safety Restrictions Forthcoming
Tennesse Cannot Ban
by Cliff Walker
adapted from his collection of news clippings
December, 1974
Knoxville -- The Tennessee Supreme Court has ruled that the constitutional guarantees of freedom of religion cover such dangerous practices as snake-handling. The Court says that any prohibition against snake handling in church worship services would be an infringement on those guarantees.
The decision modified a lower-court order, temporarily allowing the practice of handling poisonous snakes at a fundamentalist church near Newport, Tennessee.
The high court then ordered a new hearing, which will set up court-approved safety restrictions on snake handling.
Spare us the details!
Southern Baptist
Anti-Smut Manual
"Lewd and Obscene"
by Cliff Walker
adapted from his collection of news clippings
December, 1974
Dallas -- A church-produced handbook designed to help ministers fight smut has been denounced by many Southern Baptists and may be banned by the church.
"Pornography: The Sexual Mirage," a 190-page paperback, was produced and published by the Baptist General Convention's Christian Life Commission and was mailed to 4200 Southern Baptist preachers in Texas.
A spokesman said the ministers complained that the book is lewd and obscene and that they do not need to know the specifics of pornography in order to combat it.
Baptist Minister Predicts
The Apocalypse
by Chuck Shepherd
October 21, 1994
On September 28, Baptist minister Reginald P. Wiggins, 48, passed away in Philadelphia after slipping into a diabetic coma. Wiggins had announced recently that, after a decade of intensive, scholarly study of the scriptures at the Christ Memorial Reformed Episcopal Church, he had concluded that the apocalypse would occur in September 1994.
Man Thanks God For Acquittal;
Jailed For Contempt
by Chuck Shepherd
source: Times-Picayune
July, 1993
In New Orleans, Kevin Dominique was acquitted of possession of stolen property, a crime for which he would have received only a short jail sentence.
On hearing the verdict, and despite the judge's warnings on courtroom decorum, Dominique leaped to his feet, yelled "Thank God!" and bearhugged his lawyer. Judge Leon Cannizzaro then sentenced Dominique to six months in jail for contempt of court.
An appeals court freed Dominique after nine days.
San Diego Atheists

by Chuck Shepherd

April 8, 1996
In San Diego, an atheist group beat Christians to the permit office this year and won the right to hold a non-religious Easter sunrise ceremony at the landmark, 40-foot-high cross at Mount Soledad in a city park.
Casey's Convenience Store Hit
Boys Graffiti
"Psychic Center" of Town
by Chuck Shepherd
August, 1996
Three teenage boys were arrested for allegedly writing vulgar graffiti on several buildings in Hallsville, Missouri.
Police chief Pete Herring said the crimes were particularly serious because they frightened the elderly, and city attorney John Whiteside agreed, saying that the slurs were "mean-spirited" because one of the targets, Casey's convenience store, was the "psychic center" of Hallsville.
He-Men Break Boards,
Cinder Blocks for Jesus
by Chuck Shepherd
The Power Team, a group of musclebound evangelists, tours the country for Christ, giving demonstrations of karate, breaking cement blocks with their fists, and bending steel in their mouths while raucous Christian heavy metal music blares in the background. The message is, "With God, all things are possible."

If you ask individuals if they are on Facebook nine times out of ten they will say yes.
If you ask some of theses same individuals if they are in a relationship and if their relationship has been affected as a result of Facebook in a lot of cases the answer would be yes. Why is being on Facebook an issue in some relationships?
When it comes to Facebook for some individuals the idea of having as many followers as they can is the ultimate prize.
In order to accomplish this some people will allow anyone to become a friend on their page, all the person has to do is ask.
As a result of allowing anyone to become a friend if a persons significant other is a follower on their page they will see who is and who will become their significant others friend. Depending on the two individuals involved in the relationship will determine how they handle knowing what their significant other is doing. For some individuals seeing what's going on their significant others Facebook page can become a problem.
The problems arise when one person has a issue with who is being accepted as a friend. If it is a male then he may have an issue with his significant other accepting other males. If it is a female then she may have an issue if her guy is accepting other females as friends. If the point is to get as many followers as possible then why should it matter who is being accepted by whom?
When it comes to the issues behind the problems as a result of Facebook the reasons can vary. One of the reasons can be trust. Since every relationship is different each individual has to look at their relationship and figure out their issue.
The bottom line, if Facebook is affecting your relationship in a negative way then you may need to reevaluate if you need to follow each other. If the issue is trust then why be be in the relationship with someone you don't trust?

Resting And Listening To His Still Small Voice...
There are so many wonderful things we can find to do each day, many are necessary, but some things are just distractions from what is really important.
Yet, I could feel the tired weariness of my body. It feels so good to just stop and say enough. I will stop and wait upon the Lord and He will renew my strength. My job is to wait.
Waiting can be tough if you have never trained yourself to "wait"
Business seems to be the tactic of the enemy in this generation. I have asked many different people (how are you doing?) And these are their responses, I am just ssssssssssssssssssssssssssoooooooooooooooo Busy.
Come on, let's get a new line. Or better yet we could just simplify our lives and schedules.
We must ask ourselves, are we doing what we want to be doing? And are these things bringing glory to God in our lives and marriages? We must learn to discern what is necessary and what is just business. We will one day give an account of our days and time He has given us.
I just want to encourage all my sisters! Stop and listen to the still small voice, rest in His rest.
Take stock of your to do list. What can you eliminate or cut back on. Make better choices and your family and your relationships will prosper. He is our strength, but He even went away and rested alone.
Blessings, From Living From Glory To Glory

Kingdom Keys, Using His Authority...
|Feeling Like Someone Is Up To No Good!
We have been given keys to help in times of being in danger or over powered. There are times I ask myself what is the key to unlock this door of problems. He is willing to help us!
We just forget to ask Him.
Yet, here is what we will do when we lose something;
How many times have you lost your keys, and then asked the Lord,
And then you look in the same place that you looked before and there they are!
Our Father has given us the Kingdom keys! So we hold a powerful tool for unlocking truths and locking out demonic influence. For these keys are called KINGDOM OF HEAVEN KEYS.
Keys are a sign of authority, and they hold the ability to open up heaven and all its resources.
Matthew 16:19 and I will give you the keys!! You got them so use them, God is just waiting to have you use them in His name and the authority He has given you.
Learn to bind and loose, take back what the enemy has stolen. Stop the enemy from stealing. And learn to release the blessings and favor of the Lord in your life.
We must learn to exercise the very things He has given us to walk in dominion and overcome.
Blessings, Roxy

If you have been considering purchasing an Ultrabook, you are not alone. Ultrabooks are extremely popular among today's consumer because they are light, compact, attractive and durable. In addition, they are known for their good battery life and excellent performance. They are the perfect computing devices for people who are on the go, as they are generally trim and do not weigh too much. Ultrabooks are also able to handle your work and daily tasks, and their battery life will keep you going for several hours without needing to plug in. Convenience does however come with a price. Price tags for Ultrabooks start at around $700, and premium Ultrabooks are even more expensive.
There are many Ultrabooks available in the market today. Here is my recommendation for one Ultrabook that I think are the best, a model that earned top honors in testing and reviews.
Our recommend: ASUS Zenbook Prime UX31A Ultrabook
Asus released the second generation of its popular Zenbook this past March. The Zenbook Prime UX31A and ASUS Zenbook UX32VD offer significant improvements from the first iteration of this device.
The Zenbook is well designed, and is as attractive as it is functional. At first glance it appears to be made out of metal, just like the MacBook. However, it feels much sturdier than the MacBook does. The corners and edges are sharp, more like a laptop of the past than the sleek smooth models other companies are currently producing. The main chassis of this model is aluminum, with a brushed finish. The bottom is glossy and shines, while the top sports a pattern that looks a bit like spun metal. There are a total of five textures and shades of metal on the Zenbook, but they all come together in a beautiful package. The one flaw I can see in the model is that the front edge is a bit sharp, so it can dig into your forearms or wrists a bit, much like the MacBook Air.
The Zenbook Prime UX31A is a standout model, with its new eye-catching design, backlit keyboard, Ivy Bridge processors, matte 1080p IP display, and the Intel HD Graphics 4000 (Nvidia 620M GPU for UX32VD ). This laptop is small, but it really packs a punch.

UltraBook Buying Guide:
Intel has established the minimum requirements for Ultrabooks, so there are some things that are pretty consistent across all morels. The maximum thickness for a Notebook with a display less than 13.3 inches is 18mm. If the display is over 14 inches, the thickness is 21mm or less. No matter which Ultrabook you decide to purchase, you can be sure that it will be slim and trim. However, there are some differences in resolution, battery life, aesthetics and startup time. You will need to balance the designs and features you want to find the best Ultrabook for your specific needs. Here are some of the many things we considered while making our recommendations.
UltraBook Design
UltraBook design is so important to consumers. They are light, slim and are stylish. These are not just computing devices; they are accessories worthy of a runway show! Screen resolution is an important factor in design. The highest ranked UltraBooks feature a richness of color and texture that you will not find in other laptops.
UltraBook Performance
Performance is an important component of any review of a computing device. You need a device that can keep up with whatever daily tasks you throw at it. The best UltraBooks are those that do not lose speed in order to create their slim and sleek designs. Speeds range from around 1.6GHz to 2.9GHz, and with the help of a computer expert you can modify the CPU to ensure that your UltraBook runs at higher speeds. and currently, many ultrabooks features discrete graphics to ensure a high gaming experience, if you are a gamer, please see: Best Ultrabook for gaming
UltraBook Features
Features vary greatly between UltraBook models. Be sure that you know what features you require before selecting an UltraBook. Many models come with wireless functionality and Bluetooth. Some have high def webcams, so if you like to use Skype that may be a good feature for you. If you require heightened security for your UltraBook, look for models with fingerprint scanners or other such security tools.
UltraBook Memory & Battery Life
If you have been worrying than an UltraBook will not have enough RAM, you have nothing to worry about. Now, UltraBooks always do have as much storage as PCs and Laptops, many ultrabooks features 500GB 7200RPM hard drive and up to 256GB SSD, Additional, You can use the Cloud online storage database or an external hard drive if you are worried that a UltraBook will not have enough storage space for your needs.
As mentioned previously, UltraBooks have great battery life. You can use them on the go for hours without needing to plug in to an electrical outlet. All UltraBooks have a minimum of five hours of battery life, so you can be sure that you won't run out of juice when you need it.
Help & Support for UltraBooks
Another thing you should check out before investing in any UltraBook is how much help and support the company will offer to consumers who purchase their product. Troubleshooting issues on your own can be difficult or downright impossible. Check to see if the company has a user forum or a technical help hotline, or if they offer live support.
All of these features add up to a thin, stylish machine that is capable of doing the job. If you have never seen an UltraBook in action, you will be stunned by the high definition, long battery life and features you can expect. If you are someone who needs to be able to pack up and bring your work on the road, an UltraBook is the perfect choice for you.
If you have any questions that remain, please feel free to drop me a line in the "comments" section and I will happily answer any questions you have. Happy shopping!

or LCD
Origin of LCDl(iquid-)c(rystal) d(isplay)
lcd - Computer Definition
(Liquid Crystal Display) A screen display technology developed in 1963 at the David Sarnoff Research Center in Princeton, NJ. The LCD technology is extraordinary. Sandwiched between polarizing filters and glass panels, liquid crystals are rod-shaped molecules that flow like liquid and bend light like crystal. The orientation of the filters and panels determines how light passes through the crystals. For more details, see LCD subpixels, LCD types and liquid crystal. Because it took such little power to move crystal molecules, LCD wristwatches began to flourish in the 1970s along with other monochrome displays. By the 1990s, color LCDs helped laptop sales boom, and in 2003, LCD computer monitors outsold CRTs for the first time, making LCD the predominant electronic display technology. Even today's LED TVs are actually rebranded LCD TVs (see LED TV). Major Categories - Passive and Active Passive displays are widely used for low-cost, monochrome readouts on printers, appliances and industrial products. In contrast, active displays are the graphics-based color screens in TVs and computers.

Dreams of Hope, Dreams of Freedom – Boston's "Ellis" Islandadmin | Tuesday, April 13th, 2010 | No Comments »
Gateway to Hope and Heartache
By Andrew Ryan | The Boston Globe | Apr. 11, 2010
First a point of entry for immigrants, later a makeshift prison, this East Boston building is slated to be razed
Tunney Lee arrived in America on a dreary day in 1938, a 7-year-old at the railing of a steamship gazing up at the Custom House Tower, an ivory-colored beacon soaring above Boston.
If seeing the city's tallest skyscraper filled Lee with hope, a low-slung building on an East Boston wharf reminded him who he was: a boy, just 3 feet 9 inches, emigrating from China, the target of America's strictest immigration quotas. After a 59-question interrogation by immigration officers, he signed his name with an X.

Polish Governing Camp Divided over Pensions
A public, and unusually vociferous, disagreement over plans to raise retirement ages in Poland–a key step in shoring up the country's pension system and state finances–is putting severe strain on Prime Minister Donald Tusk's coalition government.
Mr. Tusk and his Civic Platform party, on a mission to pare public deficits and debt, are determined to gradually lift the retirement age of both men and women to 67 years by 2040. But their partners, the Peasants Party, want to enshrine an earlier retirement age of 62 years for women.
Waldemar Pawlak, the Peasants leader, insists that women should be allowed to collect pensions earlier as a reward for bearing and raising children. He also says that boosting retirement ages generally could worsen the already serious problem of youth unemployment.
Mr. Pawlak said Wednesday that he would pursue further talks with Civic Platform to find "a better solution" than the current proposal.
But he doesn't seem to have much bargaining power. Mr. Tusk has been given a green light by his party to look for support for retirement plans from the opposition Democratic Left Alliance and Palikot Movement, both of which have indicated that they could back the measure.
And Mr. Pawlak also faces unhappiness within his own ranks. If he forces the issue and the Peasants are expelled from the government, hundreds of party faithful will lose their government posts–a prospect they would much rather avoid.
All of that leads most political analysts to conclude that a deal on increasing the retirement age will be struck–and most likely largely on Mr. Tusk's terms.
Nevertheless, uncertainty over the outcome has put downward pressure on the Polish currency, the zloty, BRE Bank said Thursday. The zloty has weakened against the euro for most of the week and traded around 4.17 zlotys to the euro Thursday afternoon, compared to 4.10 zlotys Monday.

Ah, the vagarities of grammar. The 'from' refers to the 'predictions' part, not the 'evidence' part.
Rather than just bring up the beginning of the universe, I will at least humor you enough to explain
they're related. If we evolved, then we must have a beginning, something to evolve from, do we not? And of course, we must have a place to evolve. Does our world have no beginning, always here, or did it evolve as well? Nowhere did this thread say it was only
No, but Skin limited it to exclusively
evolution. Haring off on cosmology trips would be both beyond the scope of this thread and, frankly, venture into theories far less substantiated than the theory of (biological) evolution (actually most theories short of gravity and quantum mechanics are less substantiated than the ToE).
Whoa, evolution has been tested? If you can show where evolution was tested, I'll back down now.
It's long and it's complicated. And, no, nobody expects you to read and respond to it all. But science is long and complicated, and you asked for evidence.
But no, I actually agree with you. It appears that science of today is, "let's create a theory and find evidence to back it up". Whether it's for one side or the other, that's pathetic.
Yes and no. There are two main avenues available for scientific progress: One is drawing inferences from already established theories. This can lead in radically new directions - as indeed it did when Maxwell proposed his correction of Biot Savart's Law. The other way new theories can grow out of old ones is through an abundance of experimental evidence revealing flaws in old theories - as was what happened through much of Quantum Mechanics' early years. Discrediting either of those approaches would hamstring science for no good reason.
The last way to increase scientific knowledge is the revolutionary leap of genius, where a theory is proposed on the basis of flimsy evidence and has little connection with previous theories - its only justification being that it 'feels right'. That has happened in the past (the theory whose centennial we're celebrating this year is one example). And it will undoubtedly happen in the future as well. But that is very, very rare.
And evolution is not such a theory. In fact, evolution is a straight-line generalisation of Malthus' population models, much the same way Maxwell's equations grow naturally out of classical electrodynamics.
Now, I am not able to get through the entire thread and reply to it all. (Sorry to disappoint you, ShadowTemplar.)
Actually, much of what's been said previously has been idle banter while we waited for you to show up. You didn't miss a lot. What I really inteded with this thread was a place for people like you to ask honest questions and present what they percieve as problems with evolution in a calm and civilised environment. I was hoping that we could then sort through them - or at the very least that Skin and I could point people in the direction of further reading.
Carbon dating is perfectly accurate, IMO. The Earth is a few billion years old. You see, there is religious grounding in that. According to the Bible, to God a thousand years is to a day as a day is to a thousand years. So when he says 'day' in Genesis, He may have meant it to symbolize an epoch. Or not, but that's my interperentation, anyhow.
Funny. I seem to recall an AiG tract saying differently.
But theological discussions aside, carbon dating and dendrochronology go back only roughly .05 Myrs. Ar-K and U-U dating, OTOH...
What I was saying was that the vast majority of world populace does not believe in evolution.
That's actually not quite correct... You don't have to be an atheist to value sound science. I can name several qualified biologists and physicists who'd be frankly insulted at the insinuation that they are somehow less christian because they acknowledge the validity of scientific theories.
Lath made a statement about polytheistic creeds never having a problem with evolutionary theory. And while I haven't heard anyone publically rail against evolutionary theory on religious terms and not use some strain of Christianity as the basis, I would argue that there are plenty of polytheistic creation stories, that if taken as literally as certain Christian groups take Genesis, they'd have the exact same problems.
Indeed. In fact there are several fundie hindu groups who reject evolution - because according to their fundie view the world has
existed and has always been the same - so change is impossible and beginning is impossible. And while we don't hear as much about it in the West, Muslim creationism is also rampant in many parts of the world. Of course they buy into the rethoric and propaganda originating in the US, but that's probably only because the US creationist movements have rather a lot more funding than the Middle Eastern ones.
PS: Freud's mythmaking on religion is fun to read, but hardly provable anymore than certain feminist theories of a golden age of matriarchy. Makes for breathtaking political rhetoric, but nothing really substantial in evidence.
Freud is a cheap hoax and a political pseudoscientist. His crap's so deep that he compares disfavorably with even the Center for
the Renewal of
Science and Culture.
But that's for another thread...

For six months, light-rail trains have run their 20-mile track between Phoenix, Tempe and Mesa, picking up millions of passengers.
The $1.4 billion project, which began running Dec. 27, has slowly grown in popularity, with riders citing cleanliness, efficiency and ease as reasons why they ride.
"Everybody across all social boundaries can make use of it," said rider M. Davis of Tempe. "It's very easy, very straightforward. Everything is clearly marked."
As of Saturday, the system had been operating for six months.
Among the notable facts:
��Monthly ridership rose from 911,883 in January to 1,044,135 in April before dropping to 928,259 in May.
��Though Metro has been involved in 27 accidents, it has not been deemed at-fault in any of them. Damage to the trains has been mild, estimated to be about $1,500 and $10,000 per accident.
��Relatively few people have ridden the trains without paying. Of 168,860 inspections systemwide in April, only 220 passengers - fewer than 1 percent - were found to be riding without paying their fare.
Hillary Foose, public-information officer for Metro light rail, said the organization has continually realized or beaten its projections for ridership.
For average weekday ridership between January and April, numbers exceeded projections by 32.6 percent.
Foose credited the ridership decline in May to schools, especially Arizona State University, being out of session, as well as the departure of winter residents.
As a whole, average weekly ridership rose by 9.7 percent between January and May.
Iain Woessner, an ASU student, said he had been riding the light rail to the university's downtown Phoenix campus since light-rail service began.
Woessner, who is currently attending summer school, said he suspected the benefits of the light rail have become more obvious as the economy has worsened.
"With traffic and the cost of gas, it's cheaper than driving," he said. "I think more and more people are catching on that it's a pretty convenient way to get around."
And increasing numbers of residents have started using the light rail to get to Diamondbacks and Suns games.
"There's definitely a lot of sports riders on the weekends because it's so convenient for them to use it," said Ryan Winstead, a light-rail rider.
Foose said there have been only two recurring issues with light rail: accidents with other vehicles and people not knowing the difference between different passes.
Citations have been issued to drivers involved in crashes with light-rail trains.
"Most of the time, the accident occurred because the driver didn't obey a red light or arrow," Foose said.
On average, the train damage has been moderate and mostly aesthetic, Foose said.
Riders are occasionally confused about how certain passes are used, Foose said.
Some assume others are riding for free when they see someone board the light rail without stopping at the ticket machine, she said. But she pointed out that some passes can be validated days before being used.
Foose said the platinum pass has led to some problems because riders think it's a membership pass, and thus believe they simply need to have it on them.
"But they really need to be validating that card on an orange pad every time they use it," Foose said. "It's a pay-as-you-use card."
Foose said the company plans to tackle both issues by continuing with education campaigns for pedestrians, riders and drivers.

A Metro light-rail train passes US Airways Center in downtown Phoenix before a Suns game in January. Light-rail use has remained popular since the system's December inaugural, with more than 1 million riders using the trains in April alone.

Let's be frank, "Lioness: Hidden Treasures" offers very little of the singers best and should not be a substituted as a follow-up to her breakout 2006 release "Back to Black." Instead, "Lioness" is a collection of assorted demos and covers that should serve as an index to what Winehouse loved: jazz, retro-pop, and classic soul.
Listen to:
Our Day Will Come
Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow - *standout
Valerie - Bruno Mars performed this version on the 2011 MTV VMAs
The Girl from Ipanema - reinvents the classic with scat *recorded at age 18
Wake Up Alone - strongest song on the album that showcases her vocals
Would have never made it to a studio album - "The Cut":
Between the Cheats
Half Time
Best Friends, Right
A fan, first time listener, or purist will pick up on the true intention of this album. From Winehouse singing cover songs to stripping down original songs, this collection of music was selected to remind listeners why she was revered in the first place.

Yes, it's fine, providing you want it to mean what it says.
Going to... indicates a future action:
So you can express the future action of going somewhere:
You can add the reason for that future action.
Yes, you can use "going to" before a verb when you already knew in advance that you'd be doing that. For instance, "I'm going to tell this to my English teacher".
And Go is not an exception. You can perfectly well say "I'm going to go home tomorrow".

Requiem Aeternam
By Peter Korn on Jun 14, 2006
The choral season of the San Francisco Symphony comes to a close with performances this week and next of the Verdi Reqiuem.
Requiem Aeternam - Rest Eternal.
To perform this piece, and the Mahler 8, and the Shostakovich Babi Yar, and Carmina burana - all under the leadership of chorus director Vance George is why I returned to the San Francisco Symphony Chorus this season after a 7 year absence. I was delighted to perform in the rest of the choral program as well. But those four pieces, and most especially the Requiem, are why I've at times twisted my travel schedule (and at times even that of the OASIS ODF Accessibility Subcommittee).
This is Vance George's last year with the Symphony Chorus. After 23 years leading our chorus, he is retiring. I first met Vance when he was guest preparing the U.C. Berkeley Chorus in what was my first performance of the Beethovan Ninth Symphony. When I graduated from Berkeley, I immediately joined the San Francisco Symphony Chorus, under Vance George. This Verdi Requiem we perform this week and next is the last one Vance is preparing. This is our, my, goodbye to him.
Two of the choral pieces this year hold another, special meaning for me. Shostakovich' Symphony No. 13, Babi Yar is a setting of several poems by Russian poet Yevtushenko, the first of which tells the story of the murder of 100,000 Ukranian Jews in the Babi Yar ravine in World War II. By the end of our performances (and by the end of most of the rehearsals) I was quietly weeping through my singing.
And it is the same for me with the Verdi.
During World War II Teresienstadt was the "Red Cross show-off camp", a concentration camp that was presented by the Nazis to the outside world as a model Jewish settlement (and that the Red Cross were allowed to visit). In reality it was where many Czech Jews - especially those who were culturally known - were housed en-route to the death camps like Auschwitz. Some of the many fine musicians among those in Teresianstadt took to organizaing musical and cutural activities - notably Karel Schwenk and Rafael Schaechter - using occasionally smuggled instruments and of course voice. In September 1943, after some months of preparation Rafael Schaechter put on a performance of the Verdi Requiem, with a chorus of 150 voices, the 4 soloists Marion Podolier, Hilde Aronson-Lindt, David Gruenfeld, and Karen Berman, and piano accompaniment. A second performance by this group wasn't realized - a transport train to the East wiped out most of the chorus. But another chorus was assembled of similar size, and again the Requiem performed. And again the another transport demolished the ensemble. And again, Schaechter assembled another chorus.
In all, Schaechter put on around fifteen performances of the Verdi Requiem. One of these was a command performance for the Committee of the International Red Cross, hosted by Adolf Eichmann, during one of their visits to Teresienstadt.
My mom never heard any of these performances. Schaechter was gone by the time she had arrived. But she was enriched by the bits of culture he and others had started there.
