how about horseriding?
there are several places with great horses in and around the city.. if you enjoy nature and such sports.. also a good aim for photographers or painters ;-)
Equipment: long-legged boots are the most important.. probably sports shoes will do too.. and good trousers without seams where the legs must touch the saddle.. hats are usually available at those places..

such places are quite common..
..and of course those who are better riders can go on a horse-back to the meadows and forests.. fantastic adventure..

I'm learning italian. My grandparents are Sicilian, and speak Italian (mixed with Sicilian, I'm guessing) fluently. As of now, I'm using the Pimselur method, and I've picked up a few written materials and grammar books to fill it out. I'm 23 and I aim to be fluent in conversation (including colloquial-isms) but also aim to be able to read at a high level in the language.

Best nights sleep ever. Great for face down. But, supprisingly it was incredible for sleeping face up. I have tried every gadget and configuration of pillows to try to sleep face up. But I am always in too much pain. But, when I put the BACK of my head in the very firm cut out (in this pillow) and inched my body down a bit and it gave an incredible tention pull on my entire spine and firmly suppo View more

Gooey White Cheddar and Cranberry Dip
This is the month of the cranberry for me. I have roasted them, put them in grilled cheese and now this lovely, gooey cheese dip. And wait until you see the rosemary and cranberry sangria I have coming up!
This is the month of the cranberry for me. I have roasted them, put them in grilled cheese and now this lovely, gooey cheese dip. And wait until you see the rosemary and cranberry sangria I have coming up!
This recipe is ridiculous. Ridiculously good! If you have not tried the combo of curry, maple and sweet potato...you are missing out. Make these latkes for a festive and unique way to celebrate Hanukkah!
My affinity for Brussels sprouts is not a secret. I recently shared a skewered and roasted recipe for Balsamic-Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pine Nuts and Parmesan. So when it came time to experiment with latkes I could not resist including this favorite seasonal ingredient into the mix.
For some reason, sometime around September, I stop eating salads. I have it in my head that they are a summer thing. Why? I do not know. So I promised myself, that this year, I would enjoy salads throughout the year. Here is my first one--I'm a little late. But that is okay, this roasted persimmon salad is worth waiting for!
It's the day after Thanksgiving. You might be getting up at 3AM to stampede through Best Buy for that brand-new-tv-your-partner-must-have-for-Christmas, or you just might spend the day lounging around. Either way, this recipe is a good place to start. It's full of flavor, decadent and bound to be a favorite.
Halloween is over but Thanksgiving is on the horizon. Whether you carve your pumpkin or just use its meat for pie, don't throw out those slimy pumpkin guts! In the spirit of conserving food waste roast the seeds to make a simple and tasty snack. Here are three simple ways to season and roast pumpkin seeds.
Nothing quite embodies the spirit of Halloween like the Jack-o'-Lantern does. Creepy or funny, creative or classic, the carved gourd is more than just simple holiday decor. It's also a symbol of fall harvest and that winter will soon be amongst us. But did you know, the pumpkin was not the original carved vegetable for this time of year--it was the turnip!
These tiny little cabbages are not only visually fun but they can be so amazingly good. If done right, they have an earthy, bright and just slightly bitter flavor to them that reminds me of some of my favorite beers.
I wanted to share the joy of a good tomato with everyone. Now, a store-bought tomato is never going to taste like it was plucked straight from the vine. But there's no reason it can't be a great tasting tomato! All it takes is the steps outlined in this post.
Like I said in my Fig and Sour Cream Popsicle recipe, popsicles are my new favorite food to make. I just love how creative I can be with them. I had been looking forward to pomegranate season as I didn't really use them in recipes at all last year. So the idea of freezing them to extend the season was of interest to me. And look how they turned out! The seeds inside the popsicle are just gorgeous, right?
If you are anything like me, you can never eat too much avocado. Sliced, diced or mashed, I put the fruit in or on practically everything. That said, this was my first time putting it on pasta. I was a bit nervous at first. I didn't want it to resemble guacamole on pasta. Luckily, it didn't. It was creamy and full of flavor.
Love avocados? Of course you do! Which is why it's sad when the fruit goes bad before you can use it all, especially since it is so expensive. So use these simple tips to make your avocados last a lot longer!
Garden inspired cocktails are simply one of my favorite things. And this margarita is no exception. It's not only spicy (thank you, jalapeños!) but the cilantro adds all these lovely citrus notes to it, plus keeps it feeling fresh and crisp so you can drink many more than you should!
I love the idea of a warm salad so why not a salad with fire? A Caprese seemed liked the best choice. Typically served cold, this would be an interesting twist one wouldn't expect. And because I planned to use bourbon, I wanted to use an ingredient that would best complement the spirit so I chose peaches over tomatoes.

Zoya Natty Nail Lacquer ($8.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a "smoky deep steel blue." It's a subdued, smoky navy blue with a cream finish. Chanel Blue Rebel is very similar–perhaps a touch smokier. China Glaze First Mate is richer, less subdued. Rescue Beauty Lounge Dead Calm is bluer, less smoky.Read Full Review
Zoya Suri Nail Lacquer
Zoya Suri Nail Lacquer ($8.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a "royal purple metallic." It's a rich, royal purple with violet and amethyst micro-shimmer. I couldn't recall anything from past reviews that compared that closely with this shade. China Glaze Fault Line has similar coloring, but it's a crackle polish. Zoya Mimi would be the next closest, though it's a bit more blue-based and has much larger shimmer. Do you have any dupe suggestions? I'd love to hear them!Read Full Review
NARS TV Party Nail Lacquer
NARS TV Party Nail Lacquer ($18.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a "vivid orange." It's a medium-dark orange with a cream finish. It's vibrant without being neon. Nails Inc. Porchester Place is a bit less orange, almost subdued in a way. Illamasqua Gamma is brighter. Zoya Jancyn is lighter. MAC Morange is darker and more red-toned. It's bright without being blindingly neon, and it's not too dark. It also doesn't have strong red undertones, so it is a bit different than some other oranges I have in my stash.Read Full Review
NARS Superstar Nail Lacquer
NARS Superstar Nail Lacquer ($18.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a "teal." It's a dark, smoky blue with just a hint of teal (which is more apparent in the bottle than on the nail) and a cream finish. Essie Go Overboard is quite similar, though I'd say it leans a bit closer to teal with less blue. MAC Deep Sea is darker and greener. Rescue Beauty Lounge Teal is darker and more teal.Read Full Review
NARS Back Room Nail Lacquer
NARS Back Room Nail Lacquer ($18.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as "black." It's a rich, deep dark black with a glossy finish. I know it's going to sound bizarre, but I don't have a lot of black cream polishes. MAC Nocturnelle is one of the few I have (and for some reason, I have a few of them). It's not quite as dark and doesn't dry down to the same naturally glossy finish. MAC Beyond Jealous is a tiny bit teal but mostly black. What's your favorite black cream?Read Full Review
NARS New York Dolls Nail Lacquer
NARS New York Dolls Nail Lacquer ($18.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as " purple." It's a dark purple with a subdued quality to it, so it doesn't have a strong red undertone, and it seems just barely blue-based–but it's so subtle and changes depending on the lighting conditions. Illamasqua Faux Pas is closest inc olor, but it is lighter and had a rubberized finish. Zoya Mira is lighter and more red-toned. SpaRitual Illume is lighter, bluer-based. Orly Purple Pleather is cooler-toned and has a rubberized finish.Read Full Review

Donna Davis practises at the Corner Brook Curling Club in 2012. ã Star file photo
CORNER BROOK Donna Davis believes building the junior curling program in the city is the key to growing the sport in Corner Brook.
Davis, a Corner Brook native, is one of the most competitive female curlers throwing stones on the west coast of the province, having represented her club at various provincial and national curling events.
This yearãs curling schedule is a hectic one with her participating in The Dominion Championship and the provincial mixed curling championship. She also finds time to coach two of the budding junior teams at the Corner Brook Curling Club.
Once upon a time Davis was throwing stones against the tops in the province at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, but those days appear to be behind her.
ãThereãs only so many tournaments you can enter unless youãre rich,ã Davis said Tuesday when asked why she didnãt consider playing in the provincial womenãs curling championship.
The 2014 Scotties Tournament of Hearts will get underway in St. Johnãs today, but the five-team event doesnãt have a representative from western Newfoundland.
Davis said the local curling club doesnãt have the luxury of having a large group of players to pick from like the curling groups on the east coast of the province. And, she said, the number of female curlers throwing stones in the city is not a big group so that poses a challenge to those who would be interested in testing their mettle against the best female curlers in the province.
The introduction of The Dominion a couple of years ago is something Davis feels has been a factor in why the west struggles to have a presence at the Scotties. That particular tournament was designed to cater to the needs of the grassroots curler who, under normal circumstances, wouldnãt get a chance to throw stones at a high level.
ãWe donãt have a lot of competitive curlers here and since The Dominion has come on stream thatãs kind of taken over,ã she said.
She has been around long enough to know the future of the sport in the city, whether itãs on the female or male side, is hingent on getting young boys and girls on the ice. Thatãs a big reason why she continues to lend a helping hand in a coaching capacity for those trying to learn the game.
Sheãs content to see a handful of youngsters got involved in the junior program this year and hopes to see even more embrace the game over time.
Yes, she admits it will take some patience and understanding.
ãWe got a couple players this year so weãre going to build on that,ããshe said.ãWeãre starting to build it back up again and, of course, itãs going to take some time.ã
One thing that has Davis reeling with optimism is the endless possibilities that can be derived from Corner Brook hosting the 2015 national junior curling championship at the Corner Brook Curling Club. She believes the exposure from the event should help get young people excited about the sport and entice them to give it a go themselves.
ãThatãs going to give it a boost I would say,ããshe said.
In a city dealing with the reality of an aging population, Davis said the goal is to encourage university students to check out the sport and forge ahead with the promotion of the junior program with hopes of building the numbers year by year.
ãWithout any juniors coming into the sport you donãt have a sport,ã she said.
The 2014 Scotties Tournament of Hearts gets underway today at the Re/Max Centre with five teams ã including three former champions ã seeking to wear Newfoundland and Labradorãs colours at the national Scotties Tournament of Hearts Feb. 1-9 in Montreal.
The field includes defending champion Stacie Devereaux of Bally Haly, 2012 champion Heather Strong of Bally Haly, 2010 champion Shelley Nichols of the St. Johnãs Curling Club, Beth Hamilton of Bally Haly and Stephanie Guzzwell of the St. Johnãs Curling Club.
The tournament will be a single round robin with the top two teams vying for bragging rights in the final showdown Sunday at the Re/Max Centre.

Carol Shea-Porter was first elected to represent New Hampshire's 1st Congressional District in 2006. Shea-Porter held the seat for two terms before current Congressman Frank Guinta defeated her in the 2010 midterm election. In the 2012 election, Shea-Porter regained her old seat in NH-01. Facing Guinta again in the 2014 midterm election, the Congresswoman lost her seat by less than 2% due to low turnout. Heading into the 2016 election, Shea-Porter will again face off against Rep. Guinta, in what many national observers consider a toss-up race. During her time in Congress, Shea-Porter had been a member of the Committee on Armed Services, where she served on the subcommittees on Readiness, and Military Personnel. A past JStreetPAC endorsee, Shea-Porter consistently advocated on behalf of issues important to pro-Israel, pro-peace Americans and was a reliable voice of support for the two-state solution in Congress.

Bowel cancer: New treatments, improved prognosis
Fine-tuning chemotherapy for bowel cancer
With the development of more medications for bowel cancer, doctors are now trying them in new combinations and sequences.
Experts have developed a number of regimens that combine the benefits of different medications. For some time, IFL or the "Saltz Regimen" (irinotecan, 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin) was a primary treatment. However, new regimens are eclipsing it, says Hoff.
"It [IFL] is considered a little more toxic and less effective than FOLFOX (folinic acid, fluorouracil, leucovorin and oxaliplatin) and FOLFIRI ( folic acid, leucovorin, fluorouracil and irinotecan)."
In people with metastatic cancer, these regimens may be combined with bevacizumab or cetuximab. Many other combinations, including the use of bevacizumab and cetuximab at the same time, are being tested in clinical trials.
Researchers are also studying whether these two medicines could be used in earlier stages of the disease, when the chances of actually curing the cancer are much higher. However, the results of those trials are some way off.
A dramatic rise in costs
A major problem with the new targeted therapies is their cost, which poses a major burden on health services. It should be noted that bevacizumab has not been approved by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) for prescribing under the NHS (NICE gives advice on which new medicines or treatments should be available on the NHS). Thus, bevacizumab may not be widely available. NICE has approved the use of cetuximab in combination with chemotherapy as a possible treatment for some people with bowel cancer that has spread to the liver. NICE does not recommend cetuximab for everyone in this situation. Your cancer specialist can discuss with you whether this medicine is recommended for you.
Surgery remains the standard of care for early bowel cancer
While new medications may get the most attention, surgery remains the standard treatment for people in the earlier stages of bowel cancer. In recent years, minimally invasive laparoscopic - or "keyhole" - surgery has become a popular choice.
With this approach the procedure is performed by the surgeon through a small incision using special instruments and a laparoscope, a long flexible tube with a camera and light attached. The surgeon performs the operation while looking at a television monitor. This minimally invasive approach allows for smaller incisions, less pain after surgery and quicker recovery.
A 2005 study published in The Lancet found that laparoscopic surgery worked as well as traditional open surgery for some colon cancer patients, but more studies looking at long-term outcomes are needed.
However, The Lancet study also found that for rectal cancer, laparoscopic surgery has not been shown to be as effective as open surgery.
Hoff thinks that people can have over-optimistic ideas about the benefits of keyhole surgery. "Laparoscopic surgery is still surgery," he says. "You're still getting a piece of the colon removed and you'll still need recovery time. While the hospitalisation may be a little shorter, it's not a big difference."

So, I just discovered Sublime Text[1] , which is a GUI text editor.

I can only imagine the intense decorating and baking that goes on for Christmas across the country. But, what house is more popular than the White House? Can you even fathom the pressure that must go on within the walls of the White House… over Christmas decor? I mean, really?! My kids harp at me if we are not faster than the neighbors or do not have enough lights around the house. I am sure the First Lady has a precedent to set.
Christmas With the First Ladies
Coleen Christian Burke captivates a bit of that behind-the-scenes look in her book, Christmas With the First Ladies. The Presidents' wives from Jackie Onassis Kennedy all the way through Michelle Obama are featured in the book. As you thumb through, each chapter features a different First Lady and the story behind their Christmas traditions. Even though each of these incredible women were in America's spotlight as the President's wife, each played a role as wife and/or mother first. Many of their family traditions simply followed them into the White House.
Christmas With the First Ladies is a look at the holiday magic that happens at the White House, capturing the Christmas decorating history and techniques from Jackie Kennedy through Michelle Obama. Each first lady's design aesthetic is profiled, such as Lady Bird Johnson's themes of home and family to help heal the nation after John F. Kennedy's death; Nancy Reagan's interest in renewing a child-like sense of wonder; and Laura Bush's "Red, White, and Blue" Christmas for a nation banding together.
Christmas Baking
As I browsed through the book I was overwhelmed with how beautiful and elegant everything looked. A bit different from the way things are done in my home with kids all over. I asked my oldest daughter to take a look and decide which recipe she would most like to try. Since she is the baker in the house, I figured she would do much better than I. She decided that Nancy Reagan's Monkey Bread looked delicious and we decided she would do some Christmas baking for the family. I must admit, it turned out great and I was proud of the patience she showed while waiting for the dough to rise. Plus, she even added her own little twist to a few by sprinkling cinnamon into them prior to baking.
Nancy Reagan's Monkey Bread Recipe
- ¾ oz packaged dry yeast
- 1 – 1 ¼ cup milk, room temperature
- 3 eggs
- 1 tbsp salt
- 3 ½ cups flour
- 6 oz butter, room temperature
- ½ lb melted butter
- Mix yeast with 1 tbsp milk until fully dissolved. Add 2 eggs and beat.
- Mix in dry ingredients. Add remaining milk a little at a time. Mix thoroughly.
- Cut-in butter until well blended.
- Knead dough and let it rise for 1 to 1 ½ hours (or until doubled in size). Knead again and let it rise another 45 minutes.
- Once dough has risen, roll onto a floured board and shape into a log. Cut into 28 equal pieces.
- Shape each piece into a ball and roll in melted butter.
- Place 7 balls into each floured, melted mold or muffin tin.
- Place remaining balls on top, spacing evenly. Let dough rise.
- Brush tops with egg.
- Bake in preheated oven at 375° for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve warm and watch the family enjoy!

after vacuuming the entire house with dd on my back, i realized that i might want to get another carrier. we have an ergo, which i've always loved, but it seems so short and non supportive unless she's leaning forward. is there something else out there for us to try that is much like the beloved ergo but higher in the back? (of course we're really mostly doing back carry now if that helps) thanks,
Is it getting lonely in the echo chamber yet?
I love my oh snap for a toddler carry. People also really love Kinderpacks, but they can be really hard to get hold of- especially toddler or preschool sized. The Boba is another taller carrier that is designed for toddlers.
The Ergo is a really short-bodied carrier, so most toddler carries will be a lot more supportive for you.
I second the Oh Snap, it's a really great easy to find toddler sized soft structured carrier. Kinderpacks are supposed to be awesome, but like the PP mentioned they can be harder to find. Good luck in your search!

awesome! thanks, mamas!
Is it getting lonely in the echo chamber yet?
You may want to look into the Boba too. It's a SSC that's wider and taller than the Ergo (if you're familiar with that). Just be aware that if you're small framed like me (I'm 5'2'' and 100lbs not pregnant) it may be a little bulky on you. If you're bigger than me though it may be just the thing to keep your toddler comfy and safe.
I love making a home for my man in uniform and my children.
I have a Boba and love it for my toddler, but I've recently discovered a lesser-known toddler carrier that I am COMPLETELY in love with!! Check out Babies Beyond Borders Mei Favorite Buckle or Half-Buckle Carriers. I have the half-buckle, because I like to have a lot of adjustability in the top straps, but the tall back and support of these BBB carriers are incredible!

Massage chairs could pose a fracture risk to osteoporosis sufferers
By Pushin Huang ,Special to The China Post
August 7, 2014, 12:00 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- When considering giving a massage chair as a gift to friends or family, it is important to be aware that for people suffering from osteoporosis, the devices may pose an increased risk of bone fractures, according to a local physician.
Du Si-de (杜思德), the superintendent of Changhua Christian Hospital, Lukang branch, said that both men and women can suffer from osteoporosis, and the mortality rate for conditions related to the disease is higher for men than women. There are around 590,000 men at risk of suffering from osteoporosis in Taiwan due to low bone density, Du added.
Although massages can be relaxing, there is still risk that people may be injured in the process, Du stated.
Recently a 60-year-old man suffered from partial paralysis because of a massage, doctors said. There were also contributing factors such as the man's smoking habit and low bone density, explained Chen Jian-min (陳建民), a doctor at Changhua Christian Hospital. Although the surgery was successful and the man recovered, he never regained his former mobility.
Chen also warned that if a massage or spa water is too strong, osteoporosis patients may suffer from fractures or even paralysis in rare cases.
Massage chairs can help to alleviate sprains and tense muscles, but overuse may lead to strokes for people who suffer from heart disease and hypertension, according to Tian An-ran (田安然), a traditional Chinese-medicine doctor.

How do you measure anything —
count your deaths, who loves you, who loves you knot.
Today you are the ox, tomorrow the victim
of the gorging ox.
You build a house, you are holy,
but your walls are shaky.
Inside there is wine to be drunk.
Outside there is a plague.
You are on the wrong page.
Someone is coming to town on a donkey.
He will insult your intelligence
then ask for forgiveness.
Everything is a ratio, parts of the whole.
You watch the ants as they crawl across your plate.
You snuff out every third one with your pinky finger.
Years later they will say, blood, frogs, boils,
but what are they remembering
Your house is falling —
who is the protagonist and what is it that he wants?

Wimbledon champ Hsieh Su-wei returns home
The China Post news staff
July 11, 2013, 12:24 pm TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Hsieh Su-wei, the first Taiwanese tennis player to win a Grand Slam by grabbing the ladies' doubles title at Wimbledon last week, returned to Taiwan last night to a hero's welcome.
Her return was delayed after missing three flights in London. "I'm boarding the plane now, see you back in Taiwan," she wrote on her Facebook page as she finally managed to catch her flight.
She is expected to have a tight schedule today. She will pay tribute to the now deceased former chief of the Chinese Taipei Tennis Association (CTTA), Yang Ping-yen, who had supported her.
She will also meet with Liao Yu-hui, the incumbent head of the CTTA before taking an oral exam at Taipei Physical Education College (TPEC) where she is enrolled, according to the United Evening News.
Hsieh is also expected hold a press conference tomorrow to speak about her Wimbledon championship, which she won with her Chinese partner, Peng Shuai.
Her father, Hsieh Tzu-lung, yesterday clarified his previous remarks about seeking financial support for the tennis player.
He said his daughter is not asking for government funding, but hopes the government can help her and all other tennis players look for sponsorships from private businesses.
Her success has again highlighted a lack of government support for Taiwan's professional players in any sport.
Chang Si-min, deputy chief of TPEC, was cited by the United Evening News as stressing that Taiwan badly needs a tennis center that can be devoted to training players and holding international tournaments.
Taipei City plans to build a tennis center for the 2017 Universade it is hosting, but the budget has been drastically cut, Chang said, adding that major tennis competitions have been held at the Taipei Arena.

The university has inserted a number of mobile phone Sim cards into its Cellclear private branch exchange box. The PBX routes calls from desktop landlines via the Sims to make it cheaper to call mobile phones using bundled minutes supplied by a mobile operator.
When bundled minutes from one Sim run out in a Cellclear box, calls are transferred through an alternative Sim which still has cheap minutes available.
Before installing the Cellclear product, the university was paying up to 16p a minute for its mobile calls. It is now paying roughly 5p a minute to its mobile operator and another 2p a minute to Cellclear.
The Communications Management Association estimated that up to 80% of a company's call charges can be to mobile devices.

David Silverman is one of the most recognizable faces of atheism. Known for his appearances on FOX News and his in-your-face brand of atheism. Unfortunately, Fighting God: An Atheist Manifesto for a Religious World could have been a much better manifesto if not for the small portions filled with assumptions and flawed cause and effect analysis.

David Silverman is one of the most recognizable faces of atheism. Known for his appearances on FOX News and his in-your-face brand of atheism. Unfortunately, Fighting God: An Atheist Manifesto for a Religious World could have been a much better manifesto if not for the small portions filled with assumptions and flawed cause and effect analysis. Nevertheless, it is a useful guide for integrating activism into the atheist movement.

While Silverman advocates atheists coming out of the closet, which would be a positive if it all happened at once, but like the person who says "Follow me," only to look over the shoulder and find they are alone. That is the reality. Still, the idea of not hiding atheism is a positive contribution, which would help to normalize the word atheist and make it just another noun. Identifying yourself as an atheist makes it clear where you stand.

An interesting and provocative portion that ties in with coming out of the atheist closet is Silverman estimates there may be millions of atheists in the United States that remain silent because of public sanctions. His assertion is not a far reach considering that there are now more than 100 million unchurched people in the country who abandoned religion all its trappings

Although, I thought much of the book to be unrealistic in its implementation, it is not impossible for it to happen. An interesting scenario in the book occurs when Silverman debates a preacher. The preacher asks Silverman to address him as "Reverend" to which he replied only if the preacher addressed him as President since he is indeed the President American Atheists.

There are other useful anecdotes showing how to deal with religionists without being a "dick" as he calls it. He even gives a list of the most common apologist arguments such as the "ontological" argument, the "teleological" argument, the cosmological argument and the argument from the moralist, which is probably the weakest of all and how to make gravel of them all.

Silverman points out the logical fallacies in the arguments and how to combat them. I thought the recommendations for activism to be especially thoughtful. It promotes the idea that even bad press is good press because it brings awareness. Much like the Evangelical Movement receives so much coverage that many of its leaders never consider the negativity associated with their bigotry and ignorance.

Silverman recommends not let statements like I'm offended bother you as you to can be offended also. Lastly, Fighting God: An Atheist Manifesto for a Religious World provides a step by guide to help the atheist cause.
 The Bible: A Book Review tag:atheistnexus.org,2015-11-14:2182797:BlogPost:2655555 2015-11-14T10:16:03.000Z JustinTetro http://atheistnexus.org/profile/JustinTetro

 In the beginning there was nothing except a grumpy old deity with a God complex, which is ironic because in this case He happens to be God. After an eternity of doing nothing, He decides to built a universe populated with billions of galaxies and trillions of stars only to ignore all that so he can focus his attention on what bipedal apes are doing with their genitalia.…

 In the beginning there was nothing except a grumpy old deity with a God complex, which is ironic because in this case He happens to be God. After an eternity of doing nothing, He decides to built a universe populated with billions of galaxies and trillions of stars only to ignore all that so he can focus his attention on what bipedal apes are doing with their genitalia.

 And thus begins The Holy Bible, a collection of 66 short stories filled with unicorns and dragons the likes of which Tolkien himself must have admired. Apocalyptic disasters, an angry dictator, zombies out for forgiveness, this book has everything one could want in an action story with a little redemption and love thrown in to keep the girls interested.
 Our antagonist, Yahweh, runs his territory with an iron fist ready to squash the least uprising with the maximum vengeance. However, his brutality is not overshadowed by his playfully silly sense of humor. In a tale called "Genesis" we find a (probably drunk) God leaping from the bushes (probably naked) to wrestle with his good friend Jacob. The two roll about the grass in joyous fun laughing and joking as they tussle long into the night, probably bumping penises as they go.
 There are ups and downs in the complex life of Yahweh. He puts six whole days into creating a beautiful planet, only to destroy it a short time later because monkey people are screwing angles and making giants. Yet he still manages to keep his droll sense of humor, by obligating a 500 year old drunk to repopulate the planet without Viagra.
 My biggest criticism with the first part of the book is that we don't learn enough about the God character. He shows up fully developed, with little to no back story or explanation as to what He'd been doing for the eternity before making everything. Was He an accountant tired of sitting at a desk? Did He sell pool cleaner door to door on the weekends to make a little extra cash? Had He ever had an uncomfortable sexual encounter in a sauna, with another deity? These questions, and so many more, are curiously left unanswered.
 Nor do we hear about His childhood, and the lessons instilled by his parents that would later allow him to be comfortable with creating bone cancer in babies, and parasites that give you diarrhea 'till you die. The original editors of the bible should clearly have removed some of the repetitive references about killing homosexuals, and replaced them with a few childhood experience involving Yahweh and his favorite teddy bear, or the fun that occurs when you try to make the creator of the universe eat his vegetables when he doesn't want to.
 The second half of The Bible introduces us to a new character named, Jesus Christ. Jesus is the son of Yahweh, yet decides to forgo all of daddy's money and influence to spend his days as a lowly carpenter living in the desert. Here, he makes friends, tells some stories and cures a few blind people along the way, all to reach his ultimate goal.

**SPOILER ALERT**

 It's not long before our hero is betrayed and sentenced to death by crucifixion. His friends must have been busy that day, because they just let him die without bothering to organize a rescue. But have no fear, Jesus is magic, and much like the scene in E.T. where that lovable alien died, only to rise again, so too does Jesus return to enjoy Reese's pieces with Elliot. He's not even pissed when he comes back, which made the character feel unrealistic to me. I would like to have seen Jesus slapping at least one of his disciples for not coming to his rescue, but maybe they're saving that for the sequel.
 From here the authors get bogged down with telling us how super-duper Jesus is. We learn at nausea how much he loves us and how much we should love him back, which is all well and good, but if you want to hold a readers attention you need to put some explosions or giant robots in the mix.
 Surprisingly absent from the narrative is the lack of any romantic encounter between Jesus and a female lead. Several woman pop up throughout the stories, but they have minor rolls with little importance. Instead, Jesus prefers to spend his days with a group of men, prancing through the desert, healing the sick and shopping for sandals. In one humorous tale, Jesus finds himself nailed to a piece of wood while a man in the same predicament attempts to ask him on a date after they die. Jesus laughingly agrees to dinner, but only if the man will accept him as Lord, and pay for the meal, including drinks.
 After more boring chapters about how super Jesus is and why you should follow him, we reach my favorite story contained within the bible, Revelations.
 Best enjoyed on peyote, DMT, or any other of a dozen psychoactive drugs, Revelations is a tour de force in freaky shit. Dragons and demons crawl from the pits of Hell to tear the flesh from those who refuse to hate gays and stone adulterers. Cries of the damned are described with vivid clarity as we watch them writhe in agony for looking at a girls cleavage once in high school.
 Satan himself, makes an appearance in the form of a multi-headed dragon, which is meant to scare the readers so intensely, they drop the book and run to the nearest church. But, once again I find fault with the editors for allowing the authors to tell us, way back in Genesis, that Yahweh is all powerful, thereby informing us in advance, who the victor will be.
 All in all, the bible is worthy of it's place on the shelf next to Harry Potter and the many adventures in Narnia. It's filled with wizards, and talking snakes, it deals with destruction and redemption, love and hate, lust and greed, you simply wont find another book filled with so much excitement, yet so tedious to read. I would definitely recommend The Holy Bible to anyone without Netflix, it's a wonderful way to pass the time while on death row, and also makes a great stopper for that one wobbly leg of the kitchen table.
 Book Review of "All God's Mistakes" tag:atheistnexus.org,2013-11-24:2182797:BlogPost:2336668 2013-11-24T04:00:00.000Z Donald R Barbera http://atheistnexus.org/profile/drbarbera

"All God's Mistakes" by Charles L. Bosk, is an interesting read if for no other reason than the book's title. The book is a piece of research dealing with birth anomalies from the stand point of the bearer of bad news. Speaking of his research, Bosk details the often difficult decisions that confront parents of newborns suffering genetic birth defects. While investigating the emotional as well as professional aspects of life altering circumstances, Bosk provides excellent technical discussion of prenatal diagnosis and early detection of diseases like spina bifida, sickle-cell and hemophilia.

When Bosk started his research, genetic counselors played a major role in advising prospective parents facing the risk, or uncertainty, of giving birth to a genetically defective child. Normally, that role was left to physicians, but as Bosk explains, it has increasingly moved into the realm of "genetic" counselors.

Bosk, a professor of Anesthesiology and Critical Care at Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, focuses on how health care professionals "make sense of experiences in which time-pressured decisions are required in situations filled with un-resolvable uncertainty." Uncertainty is tough to deal with in a profession attuned to helping and care. It is even more difficult when it is necessary to inform parents of bad news.

Dealing with imperfection in the perfect world of Christianity where God never makes a mistake is especially difficult. Sadly, that type of faith does not leave much room for rational thought. Nevertheless, as Dr. Bosk points out, it is the health care professional, whether a counselor or doctor, that must not only deliver bad news, but be prepared to answer the inevitable tough questions that come with it.

He correctly predicts that the detached "expert neutrality" status of counselors will change to embrace applied human genetics and to cope with medical and technical knowledge of today's parents. For research started in the 70's, Bosk proves to be prescient as this book of early patient care effectively addresses the dilemma facing health care professionals when forced to deal with the unpleasant reality of diseases that result in serious physical and mental defects or even death.

Although the title implies a much more gripping attempt at reconciling a perfect creator allowing imperfection, in that aspect it does not deliver on the implied debate. However, the implied connection is not lost on the reader as case after case reveals the imperfection and reality that doctors and counselors must address with parents.

If nothing else, Bosk's research reveals that genetic counselors view themselves as "neutral" intermediaries relaying detached scientific information to expectant parents, but the study also revealed that although counselors saw their in this way, in actuality nothing changed and the doctor still was the decision maker in explaining and delivering bad news, while the counselor was left in a secondary "clean up" role.

Although the book never addresses its controversial title, it makes it clear through a variety of case studies that the idea that God never makes a mistake is not only wishful thinking, but possible hazardous to mental stability by providing rationalization for reality.

In the final analysis, "All God's Mistakes" makes the reader aware of the terrible dilemma facing health care professionals and parents confronting both in dealing with God's mistakes.
 The Answer is Never Magic: Book Review tag:atheistnexus.org,2013-01-19:2182797:BlogPost:2147230 2013-01-19T06:35:36.000Z Donald R Barbera http://atheistnexus.org/profile/drbarbera

I just finished reading The Answer is Never Magic by Robert S. Porter and found it interesting. It is written as a continual conversation between an atheist and a variety of theists that seeks to examine subjects like faith, forgiveness and punishment by a forgiving God.

The conversations probe the Bible's contradictory nature, free will as well as science and evidence. The conversations a question and answer format with the atheist seeking or understanding about religious belief and in return answering a few questions from what might be considered a humanistic point of view. Despite the book's quirky style Porter is informationally on the mark and relevant. For me, the books last paragraph sums up the author's point of view.

"Of course, I'm not content with our limited understanding. And I think reverse engineering the brain's programming language to understand exactly how it does what it does is the scientific challenge of the 21st century. Whoever does that will be Einstein, Watson and Crick and Hawking all rolled into one (though it's pretty likely to be a team not an individual). I don't know what that programing language will look like or what the ultimate explanation of self-awareness and conscious thought will be, but I'm certain of one thing. The answer will not be 'magic.'"

 By Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett.
 With so many one-sided versions of pre-creation, creation, the original schism and the on-going fight for human souls that is to end with the battle for the title of ... Ruuuler - of the Earth; it is refreshing to read a story that takes both sides into account. We are given this unique perspective through the eyes of two agents from opposing regimes stationed on earth with Agnes acting, through her book and descendant Anathema, as the fulcrum of the events while an 11 year old boy and his friends turn out to be more able than any of the adults.
 This story is a rare event. Two authors with very different styles have blended their work so well that it is often difficult to tell where Sir Pratchett ends and Mr. Gaiman begins. If I were to advance an opinion that I can not prove, it would be that this balance was struck so deep as to effect individual sentences.
 While being terribly funny, it also manages to bring life to some very true ideas about humanity including our ability for both amazing grace and shocking evil that so often resides within the same person. It also cleverly advances the idea that humans would have more opportunity to reach their full potential if mythological beings were not 'messing them about'+ all of the time. It adds to this the idea that if there were such a 'caring' being that his, her, or its help would actually make matters worse which is crystallized in my most quoted line "People need to learn if you kill a whale you get a dead whale"+. All the while making cultural jokes between the English and Americans.
 A great book that gets better over (read every) time. Re-reading highlights new jokes or ideas that were previously out of focus.

Unconventional, uncomfortable, shocking, hysterical, and fantastically entertaining, Thirst (Bakjwi) made me squirm with stomach-turning delight.

 Unsatisfied with his life, Father Sang-hyeon (Kang-ho Song) agrees to volunteer for a life-threatening medical experiment. The experiment goes as planned but the treatments have a serious side effect for Father Sang-hyeon; it turns him into a vampire with thirsts for more than just blood. The Father does his best to feed his hunger ethically, but eventually, he abandons ethics and begins to make more and more morally ambiguous decisions, the worst of which surrounds his childhood crush, the beautiful, Cinderella-esque, Tae-ju (Ok-vin Kim). Tae-joo has lived with her drunken, slightly masochistic mother-in-law Lady Ra (Hae-sook Kim) and her sniveling, snotty, sickly son Kang-woo (Ha-kyun Shin) since she was a girl.

 Thirst does start off slowly and dares the audience to believe that this will be a run of the mill, mystical Catholic-Church-creates-vampires movie. Slowly, the director, actors and writers walk the audience down a seemingly safe path of overplayed mediocrity. It isn't until I walk directly into their trap that I realized I'd been duped. Not only is Thirst the most original vampire movie I've ever seen, it manages to do so while still covering necessary vampire themes and disarms the audience by making their seat feel like it shifted underneath them.

 Director and writer Chan-wook Park and writer Seo-Gyeong Jeong never miss an opportunity make the audience squirm in their seats. There are graphic, yet ill at ease sex scenes that barely register as sexual at all. The relationship between several of the characters left me wondering if the lot of them had been dropped on their head as babies. By far, the most discomfort I felt was when I was laughing at things that in real life are not supposed to be funny.

 Chan-wook Park and Seo-Gyeong Jeong turn scene after scene from tragic to tickling. Anyone who isn't a sociopath will laugh, feel guilty about laughing, the laugh some more. Most specifically, any scene with blood was at the same time horrifying and hysterical. Where the vampire is in relation to the blood-letter takes the edge off the fact that the vampire is sucking vital blood from the person's body.

 As soon as the laughter has ceased though, serious topics slip in. Questions of killing, domestic violence, sexual abuse, faith, or a lack thereof, and unexpected changes in the personality of characters seep in through the skin like a salamander breathes. Due to the unconventional story-telling, it's nearly impossible for an audience member to defend themselves from the revolting myriad of incoming emotions.

 My usually stoaic husband wiggled as much as I did, often covering his mouth because he was utterly floored by some of the kill scenes in Thirst and he wasn't alone. Most of the audience was clinging to their partner, shifting in their seat, giggling, breathing heavy and holding their hands up to their eyes with their fingers spread. "Eeew" and "ha-ha" could be heard at the same time by viewers unable to control their reactions.

 There is a strange attention to how Thirst looks by the director. He doesn't shy away from strange camera angles, movements or settings. Innocent props become sinister. There is a simple change of scenery late in the movie that changes the entire mood and symbolizes a change in the direction of the characters.

 During some parts in the beginning, the acting by Kang-ho Song and Ok-vin Kim leave much to be desired. I don't know if the director wanted them to be horrible on purpose to take the audience off their guard, but it really just came across as ridiculous, kludgy and strange. If you hang in there, I promise, the movie picks up and will shake the senses of even the most reserved.

 I have never had so much fun being revolted. Every time I think of the movie, I shift in my seat and think ICK with a smile on my face right before I get the chill up my spine. This subtitled Korean gem, Thirst, will satisfy those who love a good story and those who love good horror. Spine crawling, seat jerking and satisfying, Thirst is a must see! If your local small run theater is not showing this, call them and demand they do!

 Mary Gordon On Moral Fiction tag:atheistnexus.org,2008-12-25:2182797:BlogPost:175913 2008-12-25T18:03:39.000Z Lee Roberts http://atheistnexus.org/profile/LeeRoberts In a search around the Web while I procrastinate and contemplate my relationship with a man who seems sometimes a Christian fundamentalist to me, I came across this lovely piece by Mary Gordon wherein she describes the importance of literature to civilization's moral make-up.

(Though my dear one's occasional bouts of fundamentalism worry me, his erudition and love of ideas have led me in intellectually enriching directions. For that I am grateful.)

 Gordon writes at some length about John Gardner's "On Moral Fiction," a book of criticism I did a major paper on a thousand years ago while a senior in college.

 From her essay:

 In a country where pornography is ubiquitous and twelve-year-olds on school buses are performing oral sex, I can understand the longing for a return to a world in which the idea of chastity is once more in the conversation. I can understand a revulsion against unbridled individualism, a longing for community in a world where families are fragmented and loneliness can eat into the soul. I can see that strict rules—even, or perhaps especially, tied to punishment—might seem the only way to stem the chaos in which we feel we are drowning. We in the West must come to grips with the fact that we are vulnerable to people we are used to thinking of as our inferiors; that gender roles are confusing and vexed; that the economy seems to be spiraling out of control, with no one to understand it.

 I'm interested in the nexus between beauty, art, meta- and astrophysics and our concepts of goodness and morality, hence my appearance here in atheist nexus-land.

 The book I'm currently reading is by the Calvinistic and beautiful Marilyn Robinson; next is The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind by Julian Jaynes.

 From an interview with Robinson in The Paris Review:

 Nothing could be more miraculous than the fact that we have a consciousness that makes the world intelligible to us and are moved by what is beautiful.

 Fair warning: these essays are long. I hope Atheist Nexus is the right place for this kind of conversation.
