Very sound and profound comment, thanks for that.
Apart from the fact that it is pretty self-explanatory, there are various documentations available (if needed!).
Or pretty helpful sample pages.
If you'd happen to be in a more constructive mood, why not tell us about some alternative with huge advantages you see elsewhere?
Well, I can't share your experiences. I think nextgen is quite easy to handle. If you are unable to upload multiple pictures it is probably a problem with your hoster. There are a lot of instructions around not only on the author's homepage. Just search around a bit. After all this is a free gallery and I don't think it is asked too much doing some reading and maybe a forum search if you can't find a solution for a specific problem.
Most novice users find it quite hard. There are simple too many steps and too many things to click for them in able to just "upload images to a album" and it's true. Nextgen is a bit bloated and not so user friendly unfortunately.
A "newbie mode" and an "advanced mode" would be something.
Being an avid user of NextGen, I have found it to be very useful plugin for WP and it certainly addresses the so called 'cons' above.
1. User interface design is a complex area and not 'every' user will be satisfied due to their own personal habits and preferences of interfaces. It is an iterative process at times and relies on constructive feedback. The design of NextGen makes a good go of giving users a tool free of charge.
2. To add multiple images, use the flash loader option and when your folder window opens use the [CTRL] key and select the images you want to load. Press okay and watch it do its thing!
3. As maierma says it is self-explanatory and documentation is available. Plus support from alex rabe himself.
That's me done!
Try setting up a WP-install up + NGG for your father or mother, then hand them no help what so ever and se how fast it'll go (as you said - there are documentation so it will help them, won't it? ...) :)
If you'd happen to be in a more constructive mood, why not tell us about some alternative with huge advantages you see elsewhere?
Paleces like this forum is for sharing experiences to make softwares better. The fact that there is no alternative available, or the fact that it is for free doesn't justify a bad interface. I appreciate the developer's work and generosity who made all of us able to use what he (or she) has written free of charge, but I think I have the right, as a user, to say my opinion about the design of the interface.
I still think that it takes some time to understand what "Album" and "Gallery" mean in NextGen, and how to work with it.It is not self-explanatory as you suggest. It does not have an intuitive interface. "Upload Images" is a submenu under "Add Gallery". How that is self-explanatory? It should be the first thing you see on the menu. Besides, the user shouldn't look for the documentation on the net. It should be there --in the admin-- as a part of the package. There is a huge "Copyright notes / Credits" submenu in the Gallery but not a single line describing how to place a gallery in your post or page. For that kind of information you should either search the net or read the "Readme" file. This is not the most user-friendly design, and I am saying it because I want to be constructive. I want it to become a better Gallery for WP.
I think this is the problem. Most of these things are set up with the programmer/website builder in mind. When it comes to those of us with little experience, it isnt user friendly. Also, when trying to get help, it is also geared towards former mentioned, and of little help to the later. It is very frustrating when you want to learn, and you try to follow instructions that can look very daunting. A little help from somebody can go a long way.
The other thing is, when you do try looking round, as in Davids Technical Musings for example, the info there, really good, but is different to what I see in my acp/options settings, so there again it can be confusing.
@@ bluebird
If this had bee your initial post, that would have been far more accurate than the original one.
Apart from the fact that only one out of three of your "cons" is actually about UI.
1 pure taste (initial post)
2 not valid as it is possible (and pretty obvious in the UI, too!)
3 partly true but I think one can expect that those setting up a blog should be capable of clicking one button to the developer's site for more information. Maybe not ...
However, I agree, it would be more elegant if a concise documentation was included, agree.
I also agree that the concept of 'album' vs 'galleries' is not something that is highly intuitive at the beginning.
The concept of WP (and all related projects) is very much a community-based approach, therefore suggestions, ideas, and constructive criticism or even (coding) help are the strenghts. Not random complaints.
On the other hand, Wp (and also NGG) is so easy to handle that far too many people are using it ... ;-)
I absolute agree, the design need a rework. It's a matter of time, ideas and motivation. Post number one is not wrong, but failed to motivate me...
Please note, I have build up this plugin for my own purpose. Yes, when you start with coding , you sometimes didn't see design failures... because you programmed it. So your feedback help me to rework it (If I have the time), but please more constructive.
One final note about documenatation, I HATE them, Yes I really hate to document my own code. I know that this would makes so much things easier, but i really invest a lot of time in this plugin and I do not want to write documentation for it, because it's for me no fun. Therefore it's your turn : http://alexrabe.boelinger.com/2007/06/11/help-documentation-needed/
This text can be added to the Admin area:
To use NextGen Gallery your main gallery folder must have write permission. To add images, galleries, and slideshows to your posts and pages use these tags inside your text:
1. To add a galley or slideshow: [gallery=ID] or [slideshow=ID]
2. To add a slideshow in a certain size: [slideshow=id,width,height]
3. To add an album: [album=id,extend] or [album=id,compact]
4. To add a single picture from your gallery collection: [singlepic=id,width,height,mode,float]
5. To add an image browser: [imagebrowser=id]
6. To show images sorted by tags: [tags=name,name,name]
7. To show tag albums : [albumtags=name,name,name]
Haha... The fact that this thread started out as pure whining is a bit humorous. So hopefully someone will find it constructive in the end!
I use NextGen for a lot of client websites and even some of the most web-illiterate clients seem to find NextGen extremely easy to use.
Yes, when I first started using it, the mixup between the word "gallery" and the word "album" was a tad confusing, but this plugin has been around so long it would almost cause more problems to change it now. Plus, have there been any better suggestions?
It is a good suggestion to make the "Add Gallery" page title a little more clear. It is not quite clear that images can be uploaded there until you visit the page. But, if you visit the main Gallery page in the admin, it has a button that clearly says "Upload Pictures." So maybe if this page could be called "Add Images & Galleries" it will solve the confusion.
I think the instructions given by bluebird2 up above are a bit useless as it is SUPER simple to add images, galleries, slideshows, albums, etc. using the nifty NextGen button in the wysiwyg. If you don't use the wysiwyg, then you are obviously not a noob and should have the knowledge to look at instructions given on the official plugin site.
Honestly, I think Alex does an excellent job with documenting exactly what is needed to understand the plugin and its functionality directly on his sample site http://nextgen.boelinger.com/.
Offering documentation directly in the admin panel of a plugin really seems like a daunting task. I honestly don't know how delicious:days manages to keep up with all the extensive documentation they provide with cformsII and my hats off to them for it. I'd rather the coder continuing to spend their time developing an already wonderful plugin than worrying about keeping up with docs in the admin panel. A simple text file with the plugin always works fine and a sample site works even better!
So, just my two-cents... Keep up the awesome work Alex!
I have to agree with the 'bad interface'. I love Nextgen and thanks alexrabe. I'm a computer nerd, I have no problem using it, but my family (I set up a family website) can't use it. I had to setup an auto ftp upload folder on their desktops, so they just copy a pic to the folder (which is auto synced with my website via ftp) and once a week I go into the website/nextgen manage and click on scan folder. This is quite cumbersome (plus even for me moving pics to a new gallery, or is it album?, is difficult). Now that I think about it, I previously said I have no prob using it, but actually it is quite difficult to work with. Everyone bashes and then says - hey thanks to Alex though. Well, I do want to say thanks :). But, please make it easier for my family (and me).
Any recommendation ? "Make it easier" is like "Make it better"....
My recommendations can be found here. Let me know what you think.
See if this gallery plugin does it for you:

Disclosure: I'm one of the people who worked on this plugin.
We spent quite a bit of time trying to get the interface right (there's a single AJAX tabbed panel for everything from settings, add images, label images, customization, etc.)
Let me know if you have any feedback: alan [at] picturesurf.org
Hope this helps ;)
I tried to install picturesurf-gallery but I got this error message:
Warning: PicturesurfGallery::PicturesurfGallery() [function.PicturesurfGallery]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/includes/config.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/vhosts/alefba.us/httpdocs:/tmp) in /var/www/vhosts/alefba.us/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/picturesurf-gallery/gallery.php on line 51

What plugins do you have installed currently?
We'll try and replicate your environment to reproduce the bug.
What does "open_basedir restriction" mean?
The problem is in require_once statement.
Plugin is attempting to load a file via relative path, like:
and it appears your server settings do not allow that, and "open_basedir restriction" should mean just that.
so we changed include paths to be static, like:
require($PathToServer . '/includes/file.php')
Please, try now.
@ phycel:
You said "Haha... The fact that this thread started out as pure whining is a bit humorous. So hopefully someone will find it constructive in the end!"
Well, I, for one, do find this thread constructive as I was feeling quite frustrated with NGG as the OP was. What is NOT constructive is chiding over someone's ideas whether you find them constructive or not.
More disturbing is how this thread has been hijacked!
Anyway, back to searching for template options for NGG. Hopefully after a few weeks of clicking and tinkering I can shout the praises of NGG and tell how easy it is to use. By that time, as a strong supporter, perhaps I will spend more time actually contributing to the improvement of documentation for all those who are frustrated, and there are plenty.
It's easy, If you're frustrated with it help make it better. If you can't be bothered doing that, don't complain.
THis forum exists for the users' complains, so the developers make their creations better or answer the questions. If you have nothing to say you better stay silent.
By the way, here is a list of my suggestions to make the software better. If you really want to know about my contribution to make NextGen better you can read the list here:
mate, i didn't say anything about you specific, did i? it says a lot though that you thought i did. and this forum exists so people can get help, not for people to complain. there is a difference, you know?
This forum is for suggesting too. You can suggest a plugin as a good one and a plugin as a bad one. You can share your experience with others. And you can assist them with their problems or get assistance.
What you call complain I call sharing the experience, so other people who are looking for a specific plugin know what what is right and what is wrong about the software.
I answered your comment because I began this discussion here. Apparently many here didn't want any criticism of the software in any way.
Anyone that will come up with an new nextgen ui mockup? I'm waiting ;)
I think the OP has every right to complain if he likes, but perhaps a small rework in the wording would have kept the wolves at bay here.
I guess I'm used to open source and community developed software, so these issues didn't rub me the same way they did you. I just naturally assume that oftentimes you have to go get what you want off the the ol' interweb because it just isn't going to be in the application.
I think that Alex really hit it with his first response when he said that the OP didn't motivate him. Given that the guy spends his own time to develop the plugin and for the most part, does it for his own purposes, I'd say that he did an awesome job with it.
I have issues and some problems with it as well, but nothing too extreme. I think that when you understand that this type of community-developed software isn't ever going to be the same thing that you'd get in a retail package, then it becomes second-nature to just do what you gotta do.
Also, your link to your page that shows your suggestions is an excellent one and I think a much better way to get your points across. Kudos for that.
Not that you needed my comments at all. I was just intrigued by the post and thought I'd toss in my 2 cents. :)

This is the same idea for my gametype hacking topic:
transfer a profile from your xbox to pc
unzip it, and open up the file "blam.sav" in a hex editor.
i'm mainly looking to see how profiles/gametypes can be hacked, since those would work easily on unmodded xboxs. i want to see how far i can stretch my game without a mod chip.
there has to be something interesting you can change in that; the file's too long for nothing interesting to happen.

Though the actual track 'Shine a Light' from Exile on Main Street is not played during the (film version of this) set, it is an excellent title for this rock documentary as Martin Scorcese is shining a light so to speak on the Stones themselves, and this light shines mighty bright and mighty close. But Scorcese is not as invasive as you might expect. And this documentary/concert film does not feel like an expose as much as a celebration of a band that still has some kick left in it. Instead of being overly reverent and even elegaic (as perhaps he was in The Last Waltz) Scorcese, takes a lighthearted & lighthanded approach. The first thing that Scorcese documents is the planning of the show itself and the miscommunications that took place between what the Stones wanted (a big venue) and what Martin wanted (an intimate one); miscommunications that could have been avoided had the band been available to actually meet face to face with Scorcese, but these and other miscommunications are treated more as running jokes than as genuine problems.Read more ›
Don't believe all these film school losers reviewing the film or wannabe rockers putting down the Stones because they're old. Imagine film school students without credits putting down Martin Scorsese! The guest stars, Christina, Buddy Guy, Jack White, rock. One might wonder why they should buy "Shine a Light" as they already own Stone's DVD's, a fair question. This film features songs from "Some Girls", the best Stone's album for 30 years: "Some Girls" (but without the lyrics about black girls who just want to get..."; "Just My Imagination"; "Faraway Eyes" (country song with hillbilly humor); and "Shattered". Christina and Mick make the best Stone's duet since Tina Turner and Mick mixed it up for "Live Aid" on the "Let it Bleed" album classic, "Live with Me". Buddy Guy gives the movie a party rousing "Champagne & Reefer", an old Muddy Water's song. How appropriate, as the Stones took their name from a Muddy Water's song. Never before on DVD have we seen the Stones perform Keith's song, "Connection", a very old song from the sixtie's "Between the Buttons" album. Classics from "Exile on Main Street" also spice up the film: "All Down the Line"' "Loving Cup" (Jack White); "Tumbling Dice"; and "Shine a Light". Two of my favorite old Stone's songs from the 60's are here: "I'm Free" and "As Tears Go By" from the "december's children" album. Never before have we seen the Stone's play the 80's classic, "She Was Hot".Read more ›
However, the sheer power and able musicianship haven't gone stale nor retro, so the film is a real treat for those of us who have all but given up on seeing them in person.
It is a testament to Scorsese's directing abilities that the prologue, the intermittent vintage vignettes, and the conclusion are uncluttered. We get our introduction to the band and the various methods of setting up the stage, the play lists, and the operating procedures of the filming. Mick Jagger and Martin Scorsese go at the logistics in a way that has tension, but never garners animosity or loses affection for the project. In many ways, it is a labor of love for both sides, but it is Scorsese who seems the most piqued by the end.
On stage it becomes a celebration. There's no arguing these guys are dedicated. After an exuberant rendition of "All Down the Line," an early song, Charlie Watts looks directly into the camera and with a few facial gestures lets us know without pretense how demanding it is to be one of the nimblest drummers of one of the most celebrated rock bands ever.Read more ›

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, formerly of
HBO's prison drama Oz, is
joining the cast of the ABC hit
Lost. He'll play a mysterious man
with possibly ominous intentions,
according to ABC. While on Oz,
Akinnuoye-Agbaje played the character of
Simon Adebisi, a cunning and fierce
supercriminal. He also appeared in the
films Congo, The Mummy
Returns, and The Bourne Identity.
Lost tells the story of a group of plane crash survivors that finds itself on a mysterious island not found on any maps. The castaways are beset upon by stange monsters, a villainous gang of humans, and a creepy French woman.
Previously, ABC announced that Michelle Rodriguez,of Girlfight, SWAT, and Blue Crush fame, was coming to the show for its sophomore season. Rodriguez will play a character introduced in the first season, a passenger who was in the tail section of the plane, which crashed on a separate part of the island.

hey everyone. i know this question has been asked several times. im using the "source" theme and my issue is I can not get the ads to display between the posts. i have already searched forums and i have tried some of the suggestion solutions with no luck. the code i am using is this:
<?php $count = 4; ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/entry.php'); ?>
google adsense code here
and i am injecting this in the index.php right above the "endwhile" code. what this does is display ads between my posts but only when someone clicks a certain category. for example, the ads will NOT display on the main page but if you click the tag for something like "review" and it will show you all the posts for under the category "review" and you will see the ads in between the posts. this is nice...but not what i want. i want it right on the first page as well. i searched the single.php and even went to the style.css and couldnt find a place to put the code. any help would be greatly appreciated!

text: Posted March 12, 2013 The funds are likely there to get whoever you want. We can structure any contract to give us almost no cap the first year. We also can have a number of guys who we already have ready to restructure so when we sign a free agent we announce the restructure at the same time which gets us under the cap. Gettleman is likely to proceed cautiously given this is his first year. But don't assume we can't sign whoever we want because we can. Paying for it down the road is the bigger concern. Those were my thoughts. Thought it was a possiblilty we sign someone tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trimble, Henry return as Ulster look to lay marker for Sarries clash
Published 29/03/2014 | 02:30
ULSTER will not get to call on Rory Best or Ruan Pienaar before heading into battle against Saracens at Ravenhill next week after the duo were left out of tonight's clash in Cardiff.
Six Nations heroes Andrew Trimble and Chris Henry are restored to the starting line-up, however, while Dan Tuohy has made a remarkable recovery from the broken arm he suffered against Wales to partner captain Johann Muller in the second-row.
It means Mark Anscombe has named a side close to full strength, with Tommy Bowe and Stephen Ferris included as they continue their recoveries from injury.
Ulster could move into the top two of the Pro12 with an away win over the Blues, but only if Munster lose at Leinster this evening.
It will be a landmark night for loosehead Tom Court, who makes his 150th appearance for the province in his final season before moving to London Irish. "I have been fairly lucky with injury and I have been available most weeks and the caps have accumulated," the former Ireland prop said.
Court has seen Ulster evolve into one of the leading forces in Europe. However, despite final appearances in the last two seasons, they have yet to get over the line – losing to Leinster in the 2012 Heineken Cup and 2013 Pro12 finals.
On course for the last four of the league and with a home quarter-final against Sarries to come, the 33-year-old wants to end on a high.
"Now all I want is to see some silverware before I move on. It's all about getting up a head of steam as the season nears the end, starting with Cardiff," he said.
David Humphreys continued the revamp of the team yesterday as he added tighthead Wiehahn Herbst to next year's roster to replace the departing John Afoa.
The 25-year-old Sharks front-row, a former South Africa U-19 international will be a designated 'special project' player and will qualify for Ireland at the end of his three-year deal with the province.
With Iain Henderson, Paul Marshall and Craig Gilroy on the bench and Pienaar and the rested Best expected to return next week, Anscombe will expect a performance. Given the Blues' form, that should be enough.
Verdict: Ulster
CARDIFF BLUES – D Fish; A Cuthbert, C Allen, I Tuifua, C Czekaj; G Davies, L Jones; G Jenkins (capt), K Dacey, T Filise; L Reed, F Paulo; M Cook, J Navidi, R Copeland. Reps: M Rees, T Davies, S Andrews, J Down, E Jenkins, L Williams, S Humberstone, G Evans.
ULSTER – J Payne; T Bowe, D Cave, L Marshall, A Trimble; P Jackson, M Heaney; T Court, R Herring, J Afoa; J Muller (capt), D Tuohy; S Ferris, C Henry, N Williams. Reps: N Annett, A Warwick, R Lutton, I Henderson, R Diack, S Doyle, P Marshall, C Gilroy.

I will be 30 weeks tomorrow and sometimes when I sneeze a couple drops of pee comes out....
It has never happened to me before with any pregnancy.
I'm hoping its just unique to this pregnancy and not a sign that my body is getting older (I'm 32).
Have any teen moms or moms in their 20s experienced this?
Is it just another pregnancy symptom or is this another joy of getting older? :/

He was nothing but a gentleman, according to the policeman that booked him. I love the way the guy plays baseball but he could probably be better at driving his car.

We sent them via charge card $299 to start the business. They called us and told us ways to put together a complete store on line with 10,000 items on our web store. We went ahead and sent $5000 to them to fully develop the site.
We have followed their instructions to the letter to mail flyers, setup website, set up affiliates, advertise, and do what was suggested by Global.
Mike Allen, our coach, said after we sign on with Global, that he would call us once a week and then every other week and then once a month. We have heard very little from him since he got our money. We only heard from him or Steve Lawrence when we would call and leave a voicemail. His latest excuse was he developed cancer. They have not set us up with an alternate coach. Global has a chat room, however, no one is ever there. No one ever answers the phone if you call their 800 number.
We have made a demand by email to get our money back. Also we were billed $59.95 for maintenance on our first month when we were promised it would be waved for an extended period of time.
To this date, we have seen no activity to our site, no listings on any search engines, have not received regular calls from global like we were promised by Mike Allen, had no hits from well over 500 flyers sent out. Global said 400,000 guaranteed traffic free, 400,000 banner exchanges free, 1000 search engines free, all of which we have not seen results or has not happened. This has all of the makings of a scam. I cannot find us on any search engine. I was told it would help us at the Christmas season with the sales it could generate. We have not even made it to any search engines. What a joke.
With the email of December 7, 2005, we demanded a full refund be made for all of the amounts and everything canceled. . We have been more than patient. I gave them until December 30, 2005. As of March 06, we have got nothing. We contacted the BBB of Phoenix, Az. The BBB gave up because they could not get a response or return call from Global. This tells me that I got ripped off.

AUTHOR: http://www.MaggieMichaels.com - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, January 10, 2010POSTED: Sunday, January 10, 2010
I have only recently opened my Adult Online Store, through AIS-Suppliers, and have applied myself 10-12 hours per day to promoting my new store. Failure to do so will, as with any business, result in lack of sales and low placements in search engines. How could anyone expect to open a business of their own and not apply themselves, or expect someone else to do their work for them?
In less than a week, and for under $300.00, I have driven thousands of hits to my site, and made two sales. These sales reflected immediately in my control panel and were shipped in 2 days. I would call this very good customer service. Understanding that when marketing online, one must reach tens of thousands in order to make a few sales, is the key to succeeding.
AIS-Supplier cannot control the placement of a business on a search engine. This is achieved by manually driving hits to your site. The more hits a site receives determines the position in the search engine. Keywords are also an important factor when listing with a search engine.
The bottom line is, if one fails in sales, it is due to his/her own shortcomings, and/or lack of understanding how online marketing works.

The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
By Emily Parkinson, Miami City Ballet
It was a rigorous but rewarding week at Miami City Ballet's studios. The renowned choreographer from Russia Alexei Ratmansky visited the company to prepare his work Symphonic Dances for its return to the stage in Program III: The Masters. During his first visit to Miami last season, Ratmansky set out to create a new ballet — using the dancers as instruments that through various movements, formations, musical cues, and emotions would bring his artistic vision to life. After a three whirlwind weeks of artistic creation, Ratmansky gave us Symphonic Dances, which enjoyed a one-night only gala premiere at the Adrienne Arsht Center in Miami.

When Ratmansky returned this past week, his mission was entirely different. He was here to fine-tune and perfect his creation, shaping it into the masterpiece he envisioned. "This time, he is paying attention to the all of the smallest details," said corps dancer Nathalia Arja who landed a leading role in the ballet. Principal Jeanette Delgado seconded Arja saying that our dancers are being "pushed out of their comfort-zones." Ratmansky changed dancers' roles, experimented with different casts, and persistently demanded more out of each unique dancer.

Principal Ballet Mistress Roma Sosenko and Ballet Mistress Joan Latham observed rehearsals and shared the following comments on their experience, "We loving (We're loving or We love) having Alexei back in Miami working on Symphonic Dances. He is so committed to the work and we love watching his quality of movement. He is so generous and giving and his coaching is as expansive as his heart."

We are sure that our dancers' hard work will pay off when the curtain rises on Symphonic Dances during Program III: The Masters, opening February 22 at Kravis Center, March 1 at Broward Center and March 8 at Adrienne Arsht Center.
Alexei Ratamansky's Symphonic Dances is made possible in part by the support of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, as part of its Knight Arts Challenge.

Now, I have to login, and go to EDIT and search for a post that I want to edit, because the "Edit This" button will no longer appear on a post I made. Although it will appear for authors who's permissions are lower.
Any ideas as to what this could be, or how I can correct it?

Acquired: Claimed by Detroit from Toronto in intra-league draft on June 4, 1962.
Halfway through that year, the Toronto Maple Leafs signed Faulkner as a free agent and by the next season he was wearing the blue and white, though for just one game. On June 4, 1962, the Detroit Red Wings claimed Faulkner from the Leafs in the intra-league draft and he became an NHL regular.
Faulkner played 70 games with the Red Wings, scoring ten goals and 20 points in 1962-63. The following year, he played 30 games and scored 12 points, but he also spent time in the minors that season with Cincinnati and Pittsburgh.
Faulkner would not return to the NHL after his second year with the Red Wings, but his career carried on for eight more years. He returned to the Cee Bees for two seasons, followed by a year with the Memphis Wings, then a three year run with the San Diego Gulls. Four games into his fourth season with the Gulls, Faulkner returned to Newfoundland to finish his career with the St. John's Capitals.
Alex Faulkner retired after the 1971-72.

I never would have imagined what happened next because I found myself flirting with them and before I knew it we were in my motel room and I was taking on all three of them. With rough deep throat, rough sex, and rough double penetration, I was in for trouble.
Maribel and I were lovers. We had been for years and we kept it a secret from my husband, intending to just let him join in if he ever caught us. Then, she got married, too, and that made things a lot more complicated because if one of them caught us, we'd be cheating on the other one. I could never have imagined they'd both catch us at once and I could never have imagined I'd end up having my first anal sex!

The classical poetry of Japan focuses on direct experience of fleeting moments, in total contrast with its Occidental counterpart. These seminal poems were passed down orally, before great collections assembled works of art spanning several centuries in written form as early as the 8th century, from the Kojiki to the Kokinshu.

The nephilim, the spawn of demons and their mortal brides, have languished underground for epochs. Giants of rotted flesh, razor fangs, and clawed wings, they crave to crush the world that imprisoned them.
I was nervous at the wife swap party and it wasn't nervousness about what I thought I'd get nervous over. It was our first time swinging and it sure as hell made more sense for me to worry about the fact that I was going to sleep with another woman's husband or at least be nervous about my husband sleeping with another woman. Nope. What got me was that the man whose name I drew had a beautiful and much younger wife. I was nervous because I was sure I'd never measure up to her. When we got to the bedroom, though, I was in for a surprise!

Skip to comments.Textbooks at center of evolution debate
Posted on 11/01/2003 4:14:09 AM PST by I Am Not A Mod
AUSTIN -- Texas will be under the microscope this week in the fight over teaching evolution in public schools as the State Board of Education votes on adopting biology textbooks that have been at the center of the debate.
The board meets Thursday and Friday and is set to consider proposed changes submitted by 11 publishers. The board's decisions -- which could determine which textbooks publishers offer to dozens of states -- will end a review process that has been marked by months of heated debate over the theory of evolution.
Religious activists and proponents of alternative science urged publishers to revise some of the 10th-grade books and want the board to reject others, saying they contain factual errors regarding the theory of evolution. Mainstream scientists assert that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution is a cornerstone of modern research and technology.
Board members can only vote to reject books based on factual errors or failure to follow state curriculum as mandated by the Legislature.
"There's a bait and switch going on here because the critics want the textbooks to question whether evolution occurred. And of course they don't because scientists don't question whether evolution occurred," said Eugenie Scott, executive director of the California-based National Center for Science Education.
Among those questioning the textbooks are about 60 biologists from around the country who signed a "statement of dissent" about teaching evolution and said both sides of the issue should be taught. Several religious leaders also testified against teaching evolution.
Any changes to the textbooks will have implications across the country.
Texas is the nation's second largest buyer of textbooks, and books sold in the state are often marketed by publishers nationwide. Texas, California and Florida account for more than 30 percent of the nation's $4 billion public school book market. Three dozen publishers invest millions of dollars in Texas.
One of the most vocal advocates of changing the textbooks is the Discovery Institute, a nonprofit think tank based in Seattle. Institute officials have argued at board hearings that alternatives to commonly accepted theories of evolution should be included in textbooks to comply with a state requirement that both strengths and weaknesses are presented.
"These things are widely criticized as being problematic. They aren't criticisms we made up; they're criticisms widely held in the scientific community," said Discovery Institute fellow John West.
Steven Schafersman, president of Texas Citizens for Science, said there are no weaknesses in current textbooks' explanation of evolution. Publishers are required to cover evolution in science books.
The institute has referred to a theory dubbed intelligent design -- a belief that life did not evolve randomly but progressed according to a plan or design. No book on the mainstream market presents the intelligent design theory of evolution.
"We know that this is a very contentious issue. We know that, but the sorts of things we were proposing we thought were moderate," West said.
Samantha Smoot, executive director of the Texas Freedom Network, which monitors religious activists, argues that the Discovery Institute's arguments are rooted in religion. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1962 that the teaching of creationism in public schools is a violation of the separation of church and state.
"It says that the theory of evolution can't explain the diversity of life on this planet and that there must have been a designer," Smoot said. "That is a very valid and commonly held religious perspective, but not one that is upheld by scientific evidence. Therefore it's not one that belongs in science classrooms."
The Discovery Institute has maintained that its arguments have no religious foundation, but Smoot disagrees.
"The concept of intelligent design was crafted specifically to get around legal prohibitions against teaching religion in public schools," she said. "And as long as proponents of intelligent design deny that they're referring to God when they talk about the designer, they hope to be able to pull this off."
At least one publisher has submitted changes in line with the institute's recommendations.
Holt, Rinehart & Winston has submitted a change that directs students to "study hypotheses for the origin of life that are alternatives" to the others in the book. Students also are encouraged to research alternative theories on the Internet.
"The concept of intelligent design was crafted specifically to get around legal prohibitions against teaching religion in public schools,"
Well, of course. Evolution should be taught as theory rather than fact, but intelligent design by whatever name should be left to religious training.
Some of the data is the data of fact that there is no possible way that the number of life forms we have on this planet and the number of positive "mutations" that would have had to take place are even remotely possible. You want to talk about faith. It takes much less faith to belive in God than it does to buy the outlandish "hey, I need to reproduce, I think I will grow a dingle" sequence.
you 're comfortable with that gobble - gobble - turkey !
Of course not. One need not be an atheist to be willing to follow data whereever it leads.
Okay, but a negative such as that does not answer questions with data. As I said, evolution is a theory, imo, not a proven.
Well then, what's the problem for these lefties? Darwin was very definitely a creationist.
To: f.Christian
I took a few minutes to decipher that post, and I must say I agree with a lot of what you said.
These were the Classical liberals...founding fathers-PRINCIPLES---stable/SANE scientific reality/society---industrial progress...moral/social character-values(private/personal) GROWTH(limited NON-intrusive PC Govt/religion---schools)!
Where you and I diverge is on the Evolution/Communism thing. You seem to view Darwin and evolution as the beginning of the end for enlighted, moral civilization, while I think Marx, class struggle, and the "dictatorship of the proletariat" are the true dangers.
God bless you, I think we both have a common enemy in the BRAVE-NWO.

This is one of the anti-Evolutionists' favorite straw men to bash: "Evolution hasn't been proven." But it is based on a misnomer.
What is not well-known outside of science is that scientific theories are NEVER proven. The reason is that since all it takes to refute one is a single counter example, and since there are virtually an unlimited number of potential "test cases" for most theories, it is impossible to exhaustively exclude every one of them.
Therefore, all scientific theories are held tentatively, based upon their ability to withstand attempted falsification: the more attempted falsifications, the more strongly the theory is held to likely be correct.
This is why it is a requirement for a theory to make "useful predictions" in order to be considered "scientific" -- because the theory that makes NO predictions cannot be tested or falsified, even in principle. Similarly, theories that are consistent with ALL possible outcomes are similarly "unfalsifiable" and are thus not "scientific" theories. Examples would be Creationism ("That's just the way God did it!") and it's kissing cousin so-called Intelligent Design Theory (The designer designed it that way!") Neither one can be falsified, even in principle, because they are compatible with virtually ANY possible data.
Science embraces the Theory of Evolution tentatively, just as it embraces the Theory of Gravitation tentatively. And as for that other anti-Evo canard: "Evolution isn't falsifiable!" I respectfully suggest that discovering widespread mammalian fossils in the pre-Cambrian strata is just ONE example of data that would turn the Theory of Evolution on it's head.
Why? If intelligent design fits the data, why not allow it as a hypothesis?
Because it fits all data, so it serves no explanatory purpose. Nothing will ever contradict ID. It can't be falsified. It's scientifically useless. Pleasant concept, however. But it's not science.
The ID people are doing a fantastic job of proving that there is no God. That may not be their goal, but it is what they are doing.
Those of us who do believe in God, have enjoying this debate. It teaches us how religions can be distorted for political gains, by false profits who have a vested interest in deception.
Science is the understanding of how God did it. To the mind of an ID person, they are trying to invalidate everything that God has shown us.
I find that rather sad.
What do you mean it fits all data? I can say my car is designed. That fits all data, but it is a fact. If only because I have the testimony of the car dealer and news organizations. Should science be in the business of disallowing facts or theories, simply because it fits?
What do you mean it serves no explanatory purpose? Design works as an explanation in the car example, why not with life? Does either evolution or ID really offer that much in the form of an explanatory purpose? Neither really advances our understanding of anything useful. Advances in biology, genetics, microbiology, etc, could all have come with either or neither of the two theories. Because advances in both are from observations at a lower level. Does faith in evolution advance my doctor's ability to treat the human body? Not one iota. Does it advance my ability to train my dog? Again, not one iota. Name one useful thing that evolution has added to science that couldn't have been discovered in the absence of the theory.
It can't be falsified. It's scientifically useless.
Can't you really say the same thing about evolution? Even when the evidence contradicts evolution, evolutionists just blindly say, there must be some "natural" explanation. Isn't that the same as the creationist saying, there could be either a "natural" or "supernatural" explanation? Does either really contribute to science? But aren't both equally valid theories on our origins?
Isn't that statement itself a statement of "faith", not data?
LOL! The hominid tree is from Science Made Stupid. More:
Well I looked at the website, but I'm not impressed. While being far from an expert, I understand that the whale ancestor is based on a fossil fragment that is disputed as a bonified evolutionary fossil. So how many other of those "predictions" are either bogus or made to fit the facts?
ID makes predictions too. I posted that table in the last thread and at least 3 or the 4 predictions, the theory of Design fit better than the theory of evolution.
For part of his life, he was. But he abandonded special creation some time in his mid-thirties, and the idea of mediated creation some time later during middle age.
I love this graphic on scientific methods.
No, they (there are a number of ancestral whales showing gradual adaptation from land to sea) are not disputed as "bonified" whales (or proto-whales) by qualified experts. What you may be thinking of is a fit of what can only be described as panic-induced-extreme-stupidity by creationist Duane Gish, following the discovery that the long known archaeoceticean (early whale) Basilosaurus isis had rear limbs. Gish suggested not only that Basilosaurus wasn't really a whale, but that it wasn't even a mammal! Apparently this made him feel better as marine reptiles with rear limbs were already known. However Basilosaurus was unquestionably both a mammal and a whale, and several other fossil whales have since been discovered that have even better developed legs.
The falsifiable part of ID is where someone says that a specific organ (or whatever) cannot have evolved. That claim is falsified whenever an evolutionary path is demonstrated. If it could have evolved, than it can't be irreducibly complex. Otherwise, when we say that ID isn't falsifiable, we mean that every species one can point to will be said to be just what the designer had in mind. What kind of theory is that? Everything fits. Nothing is excluded. So in that sense it has no scientific value at all. Unlike evolution, where (to use the commonly given example) a mammal fossil in the pre-Cambrian period would definitely falsify the theory.
"Take a look at this website" Well I looked at the website, but I'm not impressed.
I figured that.
While being far from an expert, I understand that the whale ancestor is based on a fossil fragment that is disputed as a bonified evolutionary fossil. So how many other of those "predictions" are either bogus or made to fit the facts?
You tell me. I don't think that one is bogus. But scientists make mistakes. And admit them. If there's confusion about whale ancestry, and there may be, it will get sorted out. This doesn't affect evolution. It's a detail. There are many such that haven't yet been worked out.
ID makes predictions too. I posted that table in the last thread and at least 3 or the 4 predictions, the theory of Design fit better than the theory of evolution.
I missed that. If you could re-post it, I'll comment.
It appears that columns 2 and 3 in the last row are reversed and that row should probably go to descent, although descent is losing ground in that row with more functionality being ascribed to DNA previously labeled as "junk".

I'm in need of some information about my girlfriends name 'Danaugh'. We already know that her name is of a Celtic origin, but we still don't know where her name is written down. It is nowhere to be found. Some people told us that they might have seen her name in one of the books written by Tolkien. I know that you are the real fans of Lord of The Rings...so I hope that their is one amongst you who might help us. Does de name 'Danaugh' appear in tolkien's The Silmarillion, The Hobbit or Lord of The Rings? And if it does...where does is refer to? A creature or person, a mountain, lake, river or place? I hope someone can be of any help!

Carlyle's Rubenstein: Lifeline For Job-Hungry MBAs
Hey, MBA students – Carlyle Group may not be able to hire you in this down economy, but it does have some money to offer you.
Speaking at Harvard Business School's 15th annual venture capital and private equity conference, Carlyle co-founder David Rubenstein offered $250,000 to anyone at the conference who can bring him an original investment that isn't currently being shopped by Wall Street or other intermediaries. But to get the money, the firm actually has to do the deal.
"It can be a venture deal or a private equity deal," said Rubenstein. "Anyone that comes up with an idea that we actually close. [But] that won't be easy."
As the recession deepens, finding such a company may be a difficult task. Many private equity firms are diverting more of their cash into companies they've already backed to help them weather the economic recession, raising the bar for any new prospective deals.
Those who don't have the perfect company to pitch can still try for a consolation prize. Rubenstein suggested that Harvard Business School's private equity and venture capital club sponsor two separate essay contests, and offered to stake $10,000 apiece to authors of the two winning essays. The topics? 'Why someone should pursue a career in private equity' and 'Why private equity is a valuable contributor to the U.S. economy.'
[Addendum: this post originally said that David Rubenstein graduated from Harvard. In fact, he graduated from Duke and the University of Law School, as a commenter pointed out. He has been deeply involved with Harvard, and is on the business school's Board of Dean's Advisors.]
