We need to sign Earl Barron the guy averages like 20 and 15 for us
I see where you're going. Especially since Woodson loves the smaller and quicker lineup. But with Bargs being traded I doubt they both come off the bench together. Especially since their rebounding and defense is not up to par. We would lose out on a lot of second chance opportunities and give then up as well. Plain terms get killed inside. Woodson will have to adjust and have a more traditional line up.
Will likely be be the line up with Pablo, JR and Stoudemire coming off the bench. I actually think that would be the way to go. Also agree we need serious depth at the 5. Who's going to come in for rebounding and defense when Tyson's on the bench? Still plenty of work to do.

We need to sign Earl Barron the guy averages like 20 and 15 for us
One guy the Knicks could have picked up is Toney Douglas. He just signed with the Warriors, 1.6M/1yr deal. I have a feeling that we're going to wait around trying to sign guys like Brand, KMart that are going to better offers somewhere else and we're going to miss on guys like Douglas that are more realistic for 1.7M.
Free-agent forward Elton Brand is unlikely to sign with the New York Knicks, according to a source close to the player.
Last week, sources said the Knicks were preparing to make an offer to Brand. But at this point, the 34-year-old New York native is pursuing offers from several other teams.
With that in mind, the Knicks will likely now turn their attention to re-signing Kenyon Martin, according to a source close to the situation. The Knicks could pay him the $1.7 million remaining of their mini mid-level exception, or they could use a veteran's minimum contract to lock him up. That's all the funds the Knicks have left. According to a source close to the situation, Martin is not close to signing with any team.
The Knicks have also expressed an interest in Brandan Wright, according to a source close to the player. But it's unlikely New York is the front-runner, because of financial reasons. Less expensive alternatives could include Lou Amundson, Earl Barron, Samuel Dalembert and Chris Wilcox.
Beyond a big, the Knicks are in the market for a small forward -- potentially one who could start alongside Carmelo Anthony at the 4 position -- who would be able to defend and stretch the floor with 3-point shooting. The Knicks worked out Raja Bell on Monday, but there have been no negotiations since then, according to his agent, Herb Rudoy. The Knicks have also had "discussions" with Josh Childress, according to a source close to the player. Childress is open to the veteran's minimum.
Other small forwards the Knicks have inquired about, according to sources, include Dahntay Jones, Mickael Pietrus (who will work out for teams in two weeks upon returning from vacation) and Shawne Williams, who worked out for the Knicks last week. Williams' agent, Happy Walters, said the Knicks still have "some interest," but there's "nothing firm" in terms of offers at this point.
Other options include Maurice Evans and Metta World Peace, who reportedly could be amnestied by the Los Angeles Lakers as early as Wednesday. After that point, there is a chance he could clear waivers from teams under the salary cap, who get priority signing with an amnestied player.
"I could see Ron falling to the Knicks," a source close to the situation said. "I'm not sure if a young team would bite."
Point guard-wise, a source close to the player said the Knicks and Aaron Brooks still have mutual interest. The Knicks like his ability to defend, shoot the 3 and make plays in transition, and they've expressed a desire to run more next season. They were dead last in fast-break points per game last season (8.8).
Brooks is represented by CAA, the same agency that has Anthony, J.R. Smith and Mike Woodson. Other point guards on the team's radar include Daniel Gibson, Charles Jenkins, John Lucas III, Toure Murry, A.J. Price, Nate Robinson, Nolan Smith and Sebastian Telfair.
A source close to the player said last week that Robinson expressed an interest in returning to New York, but that's when they had their full mini mid-level exception (before Pablo Prigioni re-signed). With his competition on the open market, Will Bynum, re-signing for nearly $3 million per year with the Pistons, Robinson will likely demand that amount or higher.

Let's hope MWP clears waivers. 12.5ppg, 5rpg and his stout D would be a great addition for the vet's min.
It's freaking me out, we're too passive this offseason. I understand our cap room isn't enough to attract many FAs, but it looks like nobody wants to come to NY...
Why do we not want to start a bigger, more traditional lineup? Bargnani deserves to start and I doubt we put Tyson on the bench.
It's not that the Knicks aren't doing anything, players are waiting until they're sure they can't secure anything better than the league minimum. When that happens then you will see more activity from the team. Basically, there's still a good amount of money to be offered out there.
Real Talk
Tony Allen sux vs Spurs all series long it was same as with Lin vs Heat when u put good d vs strong PG u can simply turn him off only talented players will be still on fire like Parker Rondo
MWP MELO SHUMPERT BARGNIANI [unless he wont be in S5] FELTON/PRIGS i like such S5.

Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan. Season the chicken to taste and fry for 5-8 mins until golden brown, turning occasionally. You may need to do this in two batches, depending on the size of your pan. Lift the chicken onto a plate and tip the bacon into the pan. Fry for 5 mins until crisp. Add the onion, mushrooms and thyme, then fry on a high heat for another 3 mins until the onions start to colour.
Tip the flour into the pan and cook, stirring, for 1 min. With the pan off the heat, gradually stir or whisk in the stock, followed by the milk, then add the chicken back to the pan. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 30 mins. Spoon the filling into a large pie or baking dish (approx 20 x 30cm) with a lip and leave to cool.
Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. On a floured surface, roll the pastry to the thickness of two £1 coins. Cut a long strip as wide as the rim of the pie dish and, using a little of the egg, fix to the edge of the pie dish. Brush with egg, then lift the rest of the pastry over the pie, using the rolling pin to help. Gently press the edges with your fingers and trim with a sharp knife. Brush lightly with egg to glaze, then bake for 30 mins or until the pastry is risen and dark golden brown.

Delicious recipe and easy to make. I am vegetarian so made myself a separate pie with quorn chicken chunks. Anyone else planning on doing this I would advise to add your quorn chicken chunks at the same time as the milk and (vegetable) stock as they don't need as long to cook. I also added a whole onion to the pie rather than half. Have made this pie a few times now and give it a 10/10!
Really enjoyed this, there was so much that I made 2 pies and froze the second one for a meal the following week (freeze with the pastry on, but don't cook it then let it defrost and brush with egg before cooking next time). Hoping to make a large pie next time but encasing the whole pie in pastry. Yum!
This was delicious, and easy to make. I replaced the mushrooms with three leeks, cut into 3cm lengths, and used only 3 rashers of smoked streaky bacon. I think I'll try rosemary instead of thyme next time. The quantity and consistency of the sauce were perfect. I used a 375g pack of puff pastry (the all-butter one) and this served four people perfectly with a couple of veg alongside. Everyone loved it.
Great tasting pie that's relatively simple to make. We used 6 thigh fillets and 6 rashers of bacon and it was enough to feed 6 with lots of extras. We also lined the tin we used with puff pastry and pre-baked it before scooping the filling in, topping it with more puff pastry and popping it all into the oven again.
After reading quite a few of the comments I seem to be alone in this but I found there was not enough sauce, by the time it had all simmered in a LARGE frying pan it had all dried up so I added atleast the same again in milk and another chicken stock pot for good measure and still only lightly coated the ingredients, going to do some bread sauce to go with it and mash and carrots too.
Really easy to make and tastes great. It felt as if it was quicker to make compared to other pies. It might depend on the size of pie dish you're using, but I only needed one pack of the 250g pre-rolled pastry. Served with steamed broccoli and carrots, and leeks, peas and cabbage made with butter. Yum.
I used this recipe as a guide for a pie I made today. I had half a pack of puff pastry leftover from a previous day so used that to top the pie. I made a roux (25g butter, 25g plain flour and roughly 350ml 1% fat milk) and seasoned. Fried 125g bacon lardons off in a hot frying pan and took them out and then added 3 diced chicken breasts. Once sealed and a tad of colour added I took them out and added my finely chopped mushrooms (roughly around 7) to absorb the bacon and chicken flavours. Mixed everything into the roux and popped in a pie dish, then rolled out the pastry and topped the pie dish. Brushed the top with a beaten egg and baked in the oven for 30-40 mins and served with peas and green beans. Served 2 perfectly. Would maybe add mushrooms last instead of frying them off as we didn't notice the mushroom flavour coming through but was fantastic either way! Thanks for the inspiration Jane :)
Making a pie has been a dream. Its like accomplishing a milestone in cookery !
This is my first attempt of making a pie. This recipe turned wonderful... !Great tempting taste !
I added 3-4 leek stems( chopped into small pieces and let it to sauté)to give the pie a green touch :) !
And also I added pinch of salt,and dried rosemary.
Definitely will make again ... excellent !!

Happy Birthday to Warren Buffett and cheers to his money making prowess
- 1:16 pm Friday, August 29th, 2014 by Dian Vujovich
America's favorite and oh-so affable master of money-making, Warren Buffett, turns 84 on Saturday, August 30. I don't know what you'd give this seemingly happy-go-lucky billionaire other than" Happy Birthday" wishes along with a big "Thank You" for the riches he has afforded all investors—the lucky, the rich and the rest of us.
The lucky would be those who hopped on Buffett's bandwagon in 1964 when he became majority shareholder and stuck along for the ride. If you were such a person and had invested $1,000 in Berkshire Hathaway that year, that amount would be about $10.5 million higher [More]

In Presence, San Francisco-based artist Jim Winters explores human connection and consciousness. The exhibition's portraits—more than sixty reduction screenprints—evoke friendship and influence, memory and mourning, and the vast sweep of people, ideas, and emotions that sometimes simmer, sometimes spark in our cognizance.
In the context of the PMJA and its home synagogue, Congregation Rodeph Shalom, Winters' work speaks to the Jewish people's singular history of loss and renewal. Also evoked is Judaism's distinctly structured approach to death and mourning, as exemplified in practices such as shiva (communal visiting with the deceased's family in the days after burial) and yahrzeit (the recitation of Kaddish, the mourner's prayer, in the synagogue on the anniversary of a loved one's death, and the lighting of a candle that burns for twenty-four hours in the mourner's home, among other practices).

I have 2 dogs which I would like to give to a new home.
#1 is a boxer, she is loving and playful. She loves to run, good with kids.
#2 is a mix mutt, not sure exactly, looks a little sharpei and bull dog,,, very calm and quiet, loves attention, but is shy.
Both dogs are outside dogs. We have recently moved and just dont have the room for them.

Those two dogs should not be living outside, especially being brachycephalic breeds and having single coats with no protection against the sun on their skin. I hope they find a great home soon. Do a vet reference check and a home visit to weed out the weirdos and animal abusers.

Good luck trying to find homes for your dogs as every shelter and rescue is full.
Maybe you should have thought long & hard before making a commitment to get dogs.
It's not right to get rid of them simple because you no longer want them or don't have the space to keep them. Sorry if I sound harsh, but there are too many dogs getting rehomed and the rescue groups & individuals are taking on the responsibility trying to find these pets new homes, not fair to them or the dogs!

why don't you foster the two dogs threw an organization like
or somewhere until you can find a good home for them.
I agree, I realize that things change in people life but I guess some people don't see animals as big commitment, when really it's the same a child.
You should not have an animal unless you are prepared to take on the task of a child, you wouldn't just dump your child with any old road hard sally would you????
Then why give your dogs away for free????? shame on you.

How much room do two dog's need? I have friends living in apartments who have had 3 - 4 huskies. They get a good walk 2x a day and are happy as clams laying on the floor napping most of the day. The horror of being dumped with another family and wondering why you don't love them anymore is something I hate to see...but, being in rescue I see it everyday. We have become a throwaway society...sad. Don't even want to get started on the "outside dog" thing. How sad these dogs weren't considered part of your family. I would live in a tent with my dog's before I get rid of them. Anyway, please contact an all breed rescue and ask their help in rehoming them. They will do a vet check, home visit and a contract to make sure the next home will love them forever and treat them with the respect they deserve. Every dog we get in our rescue is heart worm positive, full of other worms and usually has mange...do you want to take a chance the home you find doesn't vet them regularly? Or ties them up? Or is to cheap tp do heartworm prevention? All our rescue's dog's were once someone's pet...and they neglected or abused them horribly. Be careful...do the
work to make sure the new owner's will take care of them. Our rescue calls their vet to check if they took their existing/previous pets in for their shots, heart worm prevention. The Vet will gladly look up their paperwork and tell you if they were responsible pet owners..they appreciate our caring and
vigilance for the dog's. Check their home to see if the fencing is good and make sure they will sleep inside. Dogs shouldn't be left out in the heat or thunderstorms...it terrifies them. Also outside dogs
are helpless if someone wants to walk by and shoot them with bb guns..I've seen that several times, and worse. They can't run in the house and hide if some miscreants want to harm them. After we
get a dog adopted we follow up to make sure the new owners honor our contract. If they don't, we seize the dog back. We just got one back that the owner let the collar get imbedded in her
neck...they were too cheap to by a new one as she grew. These people live in a $250,000 home.
You can't be too careful. Have them microchip the dog so if it gets out he/she can be returned. Gppd luck.

At least he or she is coming on here, and making an effort to try to find them a good home instead of just dumping them at the pound, or on the side of the road somewhere......you know there are plenty of heartless people that just dump their "beloved" pets in that manner.
To the OP- maybe it would help if you posted a couple of picks? Hopefully you didn't get scared off, and I really hope you are able to find your dogs a good home or do what you need to do to be able to keep them.

You are right...I do appreciate that they are trying to find them homes instead of dumping them. I just wish they would consider dogs don't need a lot of room, just to be loved all their lives by the humans who got them. I do give them them kudos for rehoming them. I know I get frustrated, I spend two days a week with dog's turned in to die and it gets to you. To the op, sorry if I was harsh. Good luck..hope they find terrific homes.

I guess I was sort of rude as well, I just don't think you should EVER GIVE your dogs away. That's how they end up abused.

If u rescue & foster many dogs you get tired of peoples excuses on why they can no longer keep their dogs or cats. I'm sorry, but you should think about the lifetime commitment to that animal before giving them away.
I have 1 dog that is mine, the rest are peoples throw aways. I am sick & tired of it. Having a pet is a choice, if you are not in it for the long haul, don't get one.
As for people who dump them, no excuse! It's sorry, but most people dump them hoping someone else will find them and give them a good home. People tend to dump them near nice subdivisions or schools thinking their animal will find a home. The people who dump them in remote areas need to be locked up! They are ignorant & cruel.

No one expects hard times when they purchase their pet and I am sure the last thing they want to do is dump them. But if it came between my family's quality of life and the dog, I would find the dog a new place to live, then take it to a shelter.
As for "outside dogs". My dog loves being in the yard. We bring her in at night or when it is raining. When we do bring her in she wants to go right back outside. Either to chase squirrels, birds or to just sit and protect. Basically she knows she is a dog and not a 4 legged child.

The fact is when you are in rescue, you get so many calls, emails, etc. from individuals who wish or can no longer care for their animals. It's alarming quite frankly. I guess I was raised to be responsible with my pets, when I adopt a cat/dog, I think of them as a family member. I would never give them away simply because they were an inconvenience.
I understand, if you serve in the armed forces and you get called to duty, you have to find someone who can care for your pet while you are gone or rehome them altogether or if you have a terminal disease, you have no choice. However, if you move to another city or state, take your damn pet!! If you are on hard times, ask for help, people have big hearts and come together to help those who have pets in need. I have seen it time and time again.
I have several dogs, I have made sacrifices both personal & financial to care for my dogs and all the strays I find. You just get to a point where you get tired of cleaning up other peoples problems. I have 1 dog of my own, the rest are abandoned dogs and cats other people dumped.
In my subdivision, there are still cats that are not neutered. It's insane to get a dog or cat and let them run loose on your street without spaying or neutering. I blame the owners 100%. Pet overpopulation has become such a problem in Houston. There are areas of town you can drive thru, and dogs are running rampant all over the place. It's called the Corridor of Cruelty. It's in a low income area, and it's like driving thru a Third World Country. Dead dogs everywhere......in Houston.
Anyway, I just wish people would think long & hard before getting a dog or cat. It's a lifetime commitment. Right now the SPCA is not taking any animals due to capacity. There are so many animals needing homes and there are few homes to be had, so trying to find a home for your pet is going to be like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack!

Survey: Atheists, Agnostics Know More About Religion Than Religious
by JJ Sutherland
The Pew Forum on Religious Religion and Public Life released a survey on religious knowledge today. Atheists and Agnostics scored higher on it than anyone else, closely followed by Jews and Mormons, all Christians, Protestants and Catholics, were far behind.
That's overall, but when you get into specific religions it does show a startling lack of basic knowledge by practitioners. From the report:
More than four-in-ten Catholics in the United States (45%) do not know that their church teaches that the bread and wine used in Communion do not merely symbolize but actually become the body and blood of Christ. About half of Protestants (53%) cannot correctly identify Martin Luther as the person whose writings and actions inspired the Protestant Reformation, which made their religion a separate branch of Christianity. Roughly four-in-ten Jews (43%) do not recognize that Maimonides, one of the most venerated rabbis in history, was Jewish.
The study also showed that Americans have a fairly poor understanding of religions other than their own. Only about half of the people surveyed know that Martin Luther inspired the Reformation, the Dalai Lama is Buddhist, and Joseph Smith was a Mormon.
Why are Atheists and Agnostics better informed? The Los Angeles Times quotes one of the researchers who has a theory:
American atheists and agnostics tend to be people who grew up in a religious tradition and consciously gave it up, often after a great deal of reflection and study, said Alan Cooperman, associate director for research at the Pew Forum.
"These are people who thought a lot about religion," he said. "They're not indifferent. They care about it."
Also interesting is that Black Protestants and Latino Catholics scored at the bottom of the survey.

Makes sense, to me.
Edit those with any other religion's names and you sound like that religion's version of a radical.
Like I said, that's what they all say. No difference. You're a radical just like the rest. Claiming to be god's people, just like the rest. You're the only true believers, just like the rest. You're the only true religion, just like the rest. You're the only ones to be saved, just like the rest. Every other religion is a false religion, just like the rest.
All with false claims, zero evidence and misinterpretations, just like the rest.
Please enlighten me with your extensive knowledge of the other religions to be able to make above claims. I, as the article has accurately suggested, take religion very seriously, was brought up in a religious family and have therefore studied many religions, as well as science, and have made an informed decision. While you may know quite a bit about the bible, you know very little of everything else. Hence, your beliefs.
And if u paid attn, you would see the many postings in this section called "mans search for God" it marks the true begining of humanity's spiritual search from myth to organized religion. All major faiths, origin down to present day.
Again, you prove over and over how clueless you really are about the wonderful work JW do. In order to preach effectively, one needs to be informed of all forms of faith. You cannot preach to a Budhist about Jehovah with much effectiveness, if you do not take into account their lack of belief in God. Or in an eastern Indian community without knowing about the different forms of Hinduism. You will never reach people without knowing about their beliefs. JWs are made of every race on earth. In order to do that, you had to have a lot of conversions. To me, taking time out of your day, to get up and knock on doors in good or bad weather, to speak with people about their faith and concerns is taking people and their religion seriously. Get over yourself if you think you're the only one guy.
And abt all this evidence we lack, you missed it again. Jehovah hias brought peace to the earth. Just take a look at his people, as compared to the world outside of it. Jesus is called the prince of peace. Jehovah must be the King. It should be no small wonder that those who tke on their names abide in it. And they are the only ones on earth who can truly say so. And only the bible foretells this.
Like it or not, that is proof of thier existance.
You do realize that all of today's vaccinations are based on evolutionary theory, right? If evolution were false, our current medical and biological understanding would be completely unsuccessful and fall apart.
And how come there are no rabbit fossils, for example, 150 mil years ago? If you follow a rabbit's line, follow his parents, to his grandparents, to his great grandparents, etc, etc, all the way back 150 mil years, if evolution were false, we would see rabbit fossils all over the place. But there are none. Also explain how there are so many extinct fossilized animals and so few current animals that show up in fossil record. Please explain. Just one of these would prove evolution false. It's so simple. Yet nothing.
Meanwhile, every fossil, every genetic discovery, every new finding always contradicts your religion. Always. Yet you ignore the evidence and accuse scientists of creating a massive conspiracy without bothering to understand or research the facts. And that is more evidence for you being a radical.
Unwilling to accept facts and evidence, ignoring facts and evidence and proclaiming every one else wrong and only you right and only you will be saved. = Radical.
If there was one discovery to prove evolution false, scientists would drop it. That is how science works. Show me another theory backed up by evidence and I'll objectively review it. This is how science works.
You do not know a damn thing about buddhism, islam, hinduism, etc. Evidenced by your responses to OGKnickfan's newly found inner peace through buddhism in previous threads.
If you now so much, prove those religions false. You always claim that they are false religions, and you are the only one who is right and will be saved. Prove them false. Not through your religion, like you did in those "man's search for God" posts. All of those were copied and pasted (like you always do) from a JW website. Don't pretend that it was from your knowledge and understanding of those so-called false religions. Sheesh. Give me a break. You have no desire to research or understand anything. Which makes you seem even more insulting when you knock on people's doors and tell them you're right and they're wrong. What a freaking joke.
I'll ask again. Prove them false with evidence and understanding of the religion. Not by copying and pasting from a JW website. I'll wait.
Where has Jehovah brought peace on earth? I don't see it. Are you saying every single JW never dies from a disease or dies in natural disasters? I'm not sure of the numbers, but didn't something like 58 JWs die in the Haiti earthquake? If JWs are so special, and god wanted everybody to know it, why wouldn't he do something miraculous and save every JW in Haiti. That would be something to consider as evidence if only JWs survived. But no, same as everybody else.
Or are you saying only JW's experience inner peace and noone else does? And that every single JW is experiencing inner peace all the time? Well that is obviously wrong and extraordinarily arrogant and insulting to suggest it. JWs are also not the only people to give up violence, if that is what you're suggesting.
Guess what. JW's experience the same struggle, depression, violence, disease, and death in the same percentage as every other person in the world. They are no different.

The posted article sets the bar pretty low, in regard to what it seems to consider spiritual wisdom. Knowing a few facts about a religion or denomination's history and dogma does not equal spiritual wisdom.
Being ignorant and being a great spiritual being are not mutually exclusive. In fact, being ignorant is required of such a being.
It is irrelevant to the attainment of spiritual wisdom for Christians to know that Luther initiated the reformation. It is irrelevant to spiritual wisdom for Christians to know the significance of the Eucharist. This is the same for other groups.
The Bible, in fact, admonishes people for taking pride in the materialistic, which includes the quasi-carnal/materialistic nature of knowledge, as knowledge is often used to restrict one to the carnal and materialistic and not to liberate one from it, as ironic as this may seem.
In the book that, in my opinion, shows the greatest, most liberated (Jesus-graced) understanding of the Gospels of Jesus: The Imitation of Christ, the medieval Christian mystic, Thomas a Kempis, wrote the following about knowledge-restriction and religious supremacy:
"If you wish to learn and appreciate something worth while, then love to be unknown and considered as nothing. Truly to know and despise self is the best and most perfect counsel. To think of oneself as nothing, and always to think well and highly of others is the best and most perfect wisdom.
Wherefore, if you see another sin openly or commit a serious crime, do not consider yourself better, for you do not know how long you can remain in good estate. All men are frail, but you must admit that none is more frail than yourself." (1418)
"If there is good in you, see more good in others, so that you may remain humble. It does no harm to esteem yourself less than anyone else, but it is very harmful to think yourself better than even one. The humble live in continuous peace, while in the hearts of the proud are envy and frequent anger." (1418)
"Every perfection in this life has some imperfection mixed with it and no learning of ours is without some darkness. Humble knowledge of self is a surer path to God than the ardent pursuit of learning. Not that learning is to be considered evil, or knowledge, which is good in itself and so ordained by God; but a clean conscience and virtuous life ought always to be preferred. Many often err and accomplish little or nothing because they try to become learned rather than to live well." (1418)
The grace of the divine is always in communion with all beings. What is required is one open one's eyes and ears.
May you experience the wordless, not-knowledge-bound, egoless grace of the divine!
Most religious people don't study other views, agreed, doesn't mean they should be cast out of intellectual conversation however....Clement was the first to bring that genius to the table being a master in Pagan philosophy from the Christian perspective...people don't study church history so they don't think it is important to know every side
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
First off, ur request for me, a religious man, to prove another false without using my religious knowledge is nonsensical. It is what I believe to be true, which is basis for my stance.
And also, please knock it off with this lame copy, paste stuff. It's simply easier to relay on a message board.
Third, its also really wack that you think just because I post the information I preach abt here, it means I lack that knowledge myself. As if there are points given out for inventing the wheel. Let me ask you, mr pompous, before u.became an athiest, you had to learn yhat p.o.v from someone else, correct? Or did you somehow beat ur hero, Carl Hagan to the punch? Your argument there is weak and quite petty. You got all of your evolutionary viewpoints FROM SOMEONE ELSE. Just because you dont copy/paste from websites does nt mean you can pass ur belief as self taught knowledge. Get over u.
There is no way to disprove false religion, without glorifying the true religion. Therefore, ur request will be denied. Budhists dont beleive in God. But he exists. There are ways to help one see this, if in fact they WANT the truth. But that truth lies in the bible.
Also, the information provided in mans search is accurate. Any Jw can look into and become knowledgable. So again, ur wrong. We know more than enough to speak on a specific religion. Weak argument again.
when you say "Jehovah has not brought peace to the earth" you are only half right. No, the whole earth is not at peace. But those who serve him are. He has people made up of all nationalities on earth, that if not for his arrangement, would more than likely hate eachother. But because of him, they show love to eachother and non believers. If he can accomplish this, in satans world, I am certain he can accomplish much more when he rids the earth of wickedness. They are the only group on earth that Isa.2 2-4 apply to. This is a strong indication to me that God is behind the bible, which would automatically disqualify any other holy text or faith imo. Because they do not have such prophetic word.

To LJ:
For the record, as I saw it mentioned, I am not a Buddhist, though I practiced Buddhism in my early twenties. I also read the Bhagavad Gita and practiced some Vedanta Hindu spirituality: yoga meditation and exercises, etc., based on the teachings of Ramana Maharashi.
I have read many spiritual texts and delved into different teachings, for over eleven years. Atheism was one of them. However, my pursuit of these was largely in reaction to my former hatred of Christianity: the religion in which I was raised. So, I can relate to you.
For years, I considered the possibility that I was acting partly in reaction to my hatred, but I could not see that I was. In time, I learned I actually was; and I only realized this after many years, because it was so subtle.
Last year, after realizing that my accumulation of knowledge was not IT (communion with the Divine), and that my entire conduct was not reflective of what I was talking about and was contrived, I had a spiritual crisis. It was a blessing and exactly what I needed.
My previous studies of Buddhism were influential and played a part in my awareness of my own BS, but it was a very personal, yet impersonal, experience of liberation, wherein religious affiliation did not play a part.
It was like ice melting, in one of those nature documentaries, under which greenery is revealed, except, for me, the green was under ice for much more than one winter. Bitterness toward Christianity produced, and maintained, this ice. Love and personal impersonality destroyed all barriers.
Why was it maintained? Partly because I did not understand Jesus (and other figures I attacked) and, in spite of my exhortations of freedom, wanted to control others. Again, this was more implicit, than it was explicit, and I did not see it, at the time. I ask you both to look within, so as to see if this is your case. There is never cause for anger, only for compassion and grace.
I am not an atheist, but I love the atheist and sympathize with his/her brave struggle for freedom. I call him/her, however, to realize that bitterness keeps you endlessly tied to the very thing that you seek to escape. Look at Bill Maher: the man claims to be an atheist, yet he spends more time talking about Christianity than most Christians do.
Bitterness prevents you from exploring the waters that extend beyond Christianity.
I am not a Christian, but I love Jesus. I don't see the need for anyone to be a Christian, or to be part of any particular denomination: Catholicism, Baptist, Jehovah Witness, Mormon, in order to love Jesus. Read Jesus' sermon on the mount: it speaks to any kindhearted person and against "Christian" hate and prejudice: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].
To K4L
In the gospels, Jesus has one of the greatest messages of all time for us: selflessness, peace in poverty, love, in spite of hate, and endless grace toward all.
The religions have perverted or neglected his message, because they do not understand it, just as even his disciples had to be admonished for not, at times, understanding him.
When we bash others for their sexual orientation, religious beliefs, etc., and exalt ourselves as being chosen people, ask for blessings while in the world, and so on, we completely violate Jesus' teachings.
Jesus asked people to walk in his footsteps. This entails not worshiping money, as Jesus was essentially monetarily impoverished, and depending on God's grace, this means not judging others, as you are a mere mortal, who should not trust his own judgment. This also entails turning the other cheek and loving the enemy that you create in your mind.
This is easy to see here: you and LJ see each other, at some level, as enemies, but are you? You are only enemies in relation to one another, not in actuality. Another person may hear what you/LJ say and not be moved to feel anything.
But, you both still believe, as most of us do, in the ego/self. And belief in the promises of the ego/self comes with much pain and strife, which is evident here.
How ironic that we say we believe in the divine but then only serve it in relation to ourselves, the thoughts and beliefs of our little group, our little lives, our little desires, etc. How ironic that Jesus' apostles were admonished for their faults, yet you cannot admonish yourself.
Your indignation is not for Jesus' cause but for your own, and I say that with love. Your understanding of Jesus' cause comes from men and your own interpretation of a book, but the most objective interpretation, which is the ultimate, supreme subjectivity, belongs to no man. It belongs to the divine perspective and lies buried deeply within all beings.
The problem with the article is that it focuses on spiritual legalism (codes of conduct, superficial knowledge, etc.). It is not concerned with understanding the spiritual implications involved with daily living. And, the most learned scholars cannot tell you about these. This is a very personal thing that one needs to learn to practice in every moment of life. But, as things are, we only see God in a building. We only see Satan and temptation in the movies. God is everywhere, but it is not enough to say it and memorize it. We must experience it.
From the Gospel of Buddha (1894), by Paul Carus:
Self begets selfishness.
There is no wrong but what is done by the assertion of self. [8]
Self is the beginning of all hatred,
of iniquity and slander, of impudence and indecency,
of theft and robbery, of oppression and bloodshed.
Self is Mara, the tempter, the evildoer, the creator of mischief. [9]
Self entices with pleasures. Self promises a fairy's paradise.
Self is the veil of Maya, the enchanter.
But the pleasures of self are unreal,
its paradisian labyrinth is the road to misery,
and its fading beauty kindles the flames of desires
that never can be satisfied. [10]

You've decided in your mind that you are right and that's that. You believe your religion is true and there is no need to understand anything else. Just the information that an anti-non-JW website and anti-scientific website tells you.
Have you read the Koran? No.
Understanding a religion by only looking at information provided by a group trying to disprove that religion false, is not a good way to understand it and prove it false. Don't you see that?
2 In the last days
the mountain of the LORD's temple will be established
as chief among the mountains;
it will be raised above the hills,
and all nations will stream to it.
3 Many peoples will come and say,
"Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,
to the house of the God of Jacob.
He will teach us his ways,
so that we may walk in his paths."
The law will go out from Zion,
the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
4 He will judge between the nations
and will settle disputes for many peoples.
They will beat their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not take up sword against nation,
nor will they train for war anymore.
You actually tell yourself that this means JWs are peaceful to other JWs and exist in multiple nations across the world? Wow. SMH.
So, did you understand that passage all by yourself, or did the JW organization tell you?
Do you see the difference? I read the passage and understood it for what it meant. I didn't copy and paste it from an anti-JW website.
The factual information I provide does not have any other purpose than to provide the facts. Science is not out to destroy religion. The facts just contradict religion. There is a huge difference. Religion wants to prove science wrong, where science just goes about its business collecting information. There is not a massive worldwide conspiracy produced by scientists to destroy religion. The facts are facts. Not made up. If you can't see that, then I feel very sorry for you.
But since you seem to think that the information I am told is a lie, as I asked before and ask again, find one fact that proves evolution false. Just one. Remember, it must be a fact. I constantly provide facts that prove your religion false yet you find a way to ignore or rationalize (see Adam and Eve, Noah's Arc, Jonah and the whale, etc, etc).
I've been preaching from the very beginning of our debates. Research the facts. Sheesh. You have never done that once. Not even once. You have never bothered to look up a passage from one of these so-called false religions and you have never looked up anything scientific. Never.
I feel like I am always the one to do all the work in these debates. I research and prove wrong , you just make false statements and tell everyone they're wrong and you're right.
Ha. And you think I'm pompous? What a f*cking joke.

I have read the sermon on the mount. I know it quite well. I am not bitter. But to suggest my atheism is only from an anger and bitterness towards christianity and nothing to do with being a scientist and studying science insults me. That may be how you rationalize it for yourself but does not mean it applies to everyone else.
And I do get angry when people like K4lyfe knock on people's doors and tell them they're wrong. I do get angry when cults control a person. I do get angry when a religion tells a child they are evil from birth and prohibits them from learning scientific facts and applying critical thinking.
And I get especially angry when religion trys to force itself in our government and classrooms.
Not once, in your post, do you talk about reality, only spirituality. Reality does exist. From the beginning, I have always preached to research the facts and educate yourself. Religion, in many ways, stands in the way of education. I do not want to force the removal of religion the way Chairman Mao Zedong did. But to have it go away from education and an understanding of the facts. Notice how the most educated societies are the least religious? They are also always ranked the happiest societies (excluding China ofcourse, for said reasons). Not because religion is gone but because through knowledge of facts = educated society = less poverty = less crime = happiness = less need for invisible friends to give hope.
It seems, to me, to be a dangerous path for civilizaton to follow, when the population is told to accept what they're told without researching the facts.

First off, Jehovahs witnesses would rather just inform people of Jehovah Gods purpose rather than try to disprove their faith. We do not engage in debates usually at a persons door. If invited in, we may try to engage a bit, but more likely than not, we pass the info on, or simply leave.
Again, the information we have on other religions has proven to be ACCURATE! Therefore, Im baffled that u say I have not researched other faiths. I just recently showed a 5 percenter in his Koran where it says Jesus is of no earthly Father. I found this passage from our information. I really dont understand ur angle here. Its petty and almost childish lol. So what, should I badger a person at the door if they have minimal info on us due to word of mouth? Who cares where it came from if the information is accurate?
Why would I forego a reliable source of info for the sake of saying I was self taught? For what? To poke my chest out and claim myself smartest man on the knicksonline message board like you? Keep that title playa! You own it like no other!
You would be better served pointing out misunderstandings we have of other faiths. OG was a Budhist, he may or may not have read the excerpt on budhism, but I have yet to encounter a budhist who says our info on them is incorrect! So again, why should I forego the reliable source I have? thats STUPID!
If your job was to decipher counterfiet money from real money, would you be better served studying real money, or sift thru countless amounts of fake money? let u tell it, studying fake money is the way to go. But the person well studied in real money will do Ten times the job you will. You will be unemployed soon.
please oblige me so we can end this. How bout break down vs2-4 individually and I will follow and see which makes more biblical sense. Not LJ sense, biblical sense.
This will be tough for u. You never keep in account the theme of the bible when u speak on it. #fail
I have never said I am the smartest person. I don't know where you got that from and why you insist on thinking I am saying that. Just, as I have always done, demanded people to research the facts. Which you refuse to do. Somehow you've interpreted researching facts as being pompous. That makes me sad. You know what seems pompous to me? Knocking on people's doors and telling them they're wrong and you're right. Now that is f*cking pompous.
2 In the last days
the mountain of the LORD's temple will be established
as chief among the mountains;
it will be raised above the hills,
and all nations will stream to it.
When you put the whole passage in it's appropriate context (i.e. reading the passages preceding and after it as well as understanding the theme of that particular book), which you never seem to do, it is obvious the book of Isaiah is referring to saving Jerusalem.
So this passage can mean in the last days, the mountain with the lord's temple in Jerusalem will be the tallest mountain and that all nations will rush to pray there. This the more likely meaning.
But this can also mean the kingdom of the lord will be the greatest.
Either interpretation is fine with me.
3 Many peoples will come and say,
"Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,
to the house of the God of Jacob.
He will teach us his ways,
so that we may walk in his paths."
The law will go out from Zion,
the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
This is pretty obvious. It means many people will come to the temple and say above quote and the lord from Jerusalem will teach them his laws and these laws will be spread from Jerusalem.
4 He will judge between the nations
and will settle disputes for many peoples.
They will beat their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not take up sword against nation,
nor will they train for war anymore.
This seems pretty obvious to me too. It means, in the end, the lord will end disputes between nations, and the people of these nations will rid themselves of their weapons and never make war or attack one another again.
Do you see? Simple. This does not mean JWs will be in multiple nations and JWs will be peaceful to each other. You have twisted it, like you have done with every bible passage you quote.
Now, did you interpret it that way through your own understanding, or were you told?
The theme of the bible you keep referring to. You never explain your interpreted version of the theme, just keep mentioning this mysterious theme.
I can sum up 90% of the old testament in one line. God saves jews, jews praise god, god then tells jews what to do, jews don't listen, god punishes jews. Repeat. Much of it is god being jealous and vengeful.
Also bible has many weird rules and rather unsettling strories. There really is no moral foundation at all in the old testament (except 10 commandments, which 3/4 of them are pointless and aren't the real 10 commandments. If you want to know the real commandments, let me know) and I am always surprised there is a religion founded on it's teachings.
So what is this mysterious theme you keep talking about? Let me guess, JWs are god's people. SMH.
And don't you have to ask yourself how ridiculous the logic of all of this is? God made the meaning of his book difficult to interpret and understand, yet he will punish everyone for misunderstanding it, and he is all-knowing and all-seeing but didn't realize that he would have to murder 90% of his greatest creation because he made the book too difficult to understand?
I am amazed you tell yourself this every day. Completely amazed. Why would he have the book not say what he intended literally? Why make it deliberately confusing? Where every passage is metaphor and not literal? That would not make any sense.
If you put the bible in it's real theme and context, that is, written by jewish farmers and herders several thousand years ago that had little to no understanding of the world and universe around them, it becomes literal with very little metaphor and very simple to interpret. Although I am still amazed people today, with everything we know as fact, can still believe it as truth. It's both sad and funny.

2 waive extradition in 2007 Wisconsin homicide
Two Minnesota women will be extradited to Wisconsin to face charges in a 2007 shooting death.
Thirty-four-year-old Kandi Siveny has waived extradition from Dakota County, Minn. Thirty-eight-year-old Rosie Campbell has done the same in Ramsey County, Minn. They will be transferred to Outagamie County. Transport officials said Wednesday the two had not yet arrived.
Siveny and Campbell, along with Siveny's mother, Dianna Siveny, are accused in the shooting death of 30-year-old Lara Plamann. The victim's body was found in a shed near the home she shared with Dianna Siveny in Greenville.
The Post-Crescent reports a criminal complaint says Campbell told authorities last week that she watched Kandi Siveny kill Plamann for her mother, who thought Plamann was cheating on her.

Gluten Free Organic Black Bean Spaghetti
Ingredients: organic Mung Beans, Water
Explore Asian pastas are the only Organic Gluten Free Bean Pastas in the world. Unlike other gluten free pastas, Explore Asian's selections are " Al Dente " and do not become mushy and unappetizing even if overcooked. Our truly innovative pastas taste great and are a great alternative to other pastas!
Yep! I believe we've found the next new Big thing for the health movement. We're so excited to bring you: Mung Bean Fettuccine and Black Bean Spaghetti. Each of these products only have two ingredients! Organic Mung Beans and Water or Organic Black Beans and Water! As you will see in the video futher below, Angela says that if you've ever been to Italy and had the best "al dente" pasta in the world, then you'll surely d!scover with delight that these new pastas totally compare. She doesn't even think a person would know the difference between traditional Italian wheat pasta vs. this new Mung Bean Fettuccine: it could be fed to family members as a healthy alternative without them even knowing! Everyone who is trying these new pastas is in love with them!
The beauty is you can either cook these pastas if you like, or literally just soak them in water for 24 - 36 hours. When Angela experimented with it in the video futher below, she soaked it in water for 36 hours.
I called the company to find out exactly how this m!racle food was processed. I call it a m!racle food, because it's extremely high in protein and low in fat. It even has more protein than carbs. Angela is really excited about that, because it's hard to find a food with such a high protein content and low fat/carb content in the Raw Foods Movement. Additionally, Angela says it's extremely easy to digest and that it doesn't involve the usual issues that people experience when they are trying to digest beans. So when I called the company to get the processing details, they told me the following:
"We grind the organic beans into flour and add 8% water and then extrude the moist dough mixture into a spaghetti or fettuccine shape at very low heat (about 120 degrees F.) and then they are dried and cut and packed."
Ok so, the "Raw Food" enzyme-saving cut-off temperature is widely known as 118 degrees. They said it's "about" 120 degrees, which could mean give or take a couple of degrees. We were so excited to hear that the temperature is right around the "Raw" border line. Angela and I feel completely good about these products. These pastas contain only two ingredients each and one of those ingredients is water. Angela is so excited about these pastas that she is most likely going to make them a permanent staple in her d!et, not only for the amazing taste but also because of the high protein content, with low fat and carb content.
Try it for yourselves and see how it feels. Angela's been eating 100% raw for over 10 years now and she feels lighter with more energy after eating this Mung Bean Pasta, rather than either high fat or high carb raw food recipes that people generally consume.
I feel that this is an ideal food to feed our familes. They probably won't even know that you switched their white-flour-high-carb-gluten-filled pasta for healthy high protein mung beans lol. There are many health food advocates out there, such as Dr. Joel Fuhrman, who recommend these pastas as a healthy staple in people's diets.
Furthermore, they are inexpensive. If you get a 6-pack, the price is $3.99 for each bag, before you use any coup0n codes. Otherwise, they are $4.99. There's a lot of food in these bags: $3.99 each, to feed your entire family for dinner, is an incredible deal. Wait until you see how much one bag of Mung Bean Fettuccine makes in the video below!
We haven't tried the Black Bean Pasta yet, but the Mung Bean Fettuccine is incredible. The Mung Bean Pasta is featured in the video below and the Black Bean is on it's way here for us to experiment with. The Mung Bean Fettuccine is off the hook, it works when you just soak it in water, and I'd stock up on the Mung Bean one the most and maybe just get a few of the Black Bean Spaghetti just to try ;-)

Complaints about foul odors from the system have stopped over the past several days as city workers and contractors have taken action to return the wastewater system to a more normal state after damage caused by the illegal dumping of a toxic substance into the system.
Kenedy Water and Wastewater System Superintendent David Wallace said the toxic substance killed aerobic bugs (bacteria that eat raw waste) that resulted in the bad smells observed by residents downwind from the city's wastewater treatment plant located north of Goff Street on the northeast side of town.
City Manager Ford Patton said Monday that progress has definitely been made and continues to move forward.
An emergency meeting of the Kenedy City Council was called on June 30 and during the meeting the city council was informed about the issue. The council voted to move forward with an emergency plan to remove dead sludge from the plant and re-seed the plant with new sludge.
"Beginning Wednesday of last week, the belt press was operating and dewatering the sludge," Patton said. "As of this morning (Monday) we have moved approximately 300,000 gallons through the belt press and the plant was much improved and looking much better than it has in several weeks."
Equipment was rented and equipment operators have been assisting city workers throughout the effort, Patton explained.
The efforts last week are resulting in positive results, he said.
"From what I can tell, I have not noticed the odors in the past few days," Patton said.
City officials have not yet been able to determine who dumped the toxic materials, or exactly what the substance was, but they are encouraging the public to report any information about this incident or any future incidents of illegal dumping immediately to the Kenedy Police Department at 830-583-2225.

Conceived by Rob Gaffney and Shane McConkey, Squaw Valley is currently holding a contest to determine what skier can win the game of GNAR (Gaffney's Numerical Assessment of Radness), which involves rowdy skiing, cliff hucking, and embarrassing acts (like skiing naked). Griffin Post gives us the first update on the contest.
March 2, 2010
It was a dramatic few days at Squaw Valley, but the big-mountain competition took place Tuesday on Silverado. The men's ski winner was Sweden's Henrik Windsted; the women's ski winner was Jackie Paaso, a Squaw local who got a wild card to compete at the event. Here are final results and videos of the winning lines.
March 1, 2010
After an aborted attempt to run the Freeride World Tour big-mountain competition on Squaw Valley's Tram Face on Sunday, blue skies and untouched snow mean the competitors are heading to Silverado today. Judge Tom Winter predicts we'll see the future of the sport emerge: park tricks mixed with big-mountain terrain from skiers like Candide Thovex.
February 28, 2010
Freeride World Tour Judge Tom Winter checks in from Squaw Valley, where it's currently dumping. The competition is slated to occur on Sunday with the number one ranked male skier, Candid Thovex, skiing first.

CNJ staff photo: Tony Bullocks ENMU's Laura Thompson is tagged out by Tarleton State catcher April Gonzalez as she tries to score on an infield grounder during the first game of Friday's Lone Star Conference South Division doubleheader at Zia Softball Field.
By Dave Wagner: CNJ sports writer
PORTALES — Eastern New Mexico University's softball team couldn't keep Tarleton State in the yard on Friday.
The TexAnns, who came in averaging a modest four runs a game, belted
six home runs and posted two of their top three run totals this season
in rolling to a 12-5, 9-0 Lone Star Conference South Division sweep at
Zia Softball Field.
The teams complete their series with a 1 p.m. single game today.
Junior third baseman Brittany Terry homered three times for the
TexAnns (19-15, 4-4 South), whose only previous game with more than
eight runs came in a 12-6 shellacking of top-ranked Angelo State on
March 6.
Sophomore right-hander Lauren Zearfoss (11-10) pitched a two-hitter
for her third shutout of the season in the nightcap, shortened to six
innings by the eight-run rule.
Meantime, the shellshocked Zias (17-15, 2-9) fell deeper into the division cellar.
"The wind was blowing out, our pitchers didn't throw well and we
didn't hit at all in the second game," Zias coach Amber Daniel said.
"We have to outhit everybody this year, and we knew that (going in)."
Terry put Tarleton State in front with a two-run shot in the second
inning of the opener, but the Zias took a 3-2 lead with a three-run
third capped by Kimberly Crouse's second homer of the season.
ENMU nearly got out of the fourth, but Tarleton's Samantha Canfield
legged out an infield squibber to put runners at the corners with two
out. Catcher April Gonzalez followed with a three-run homer to left off
junior Kristen Cruickshank (9-7) for a 5-3 Tarleton lead.
The TexAnns added seven runs on five hits in the top of the sixth to
blow it open. ENMU avoided the eight-run rule with two in the bottom
half, but that was it.
Junior Julie Norris (8-3) went the distance for the win, spacing 10 hits with two walks and three strikeouts.
"Kristen's stuff wasn't working as well today as usual," Daniel
said. "It's the Lone Star, and that's what happens when you don't
compete as well as you need to."
Terry and first baseman Tamra Bradley each homered twice in the
second game. Norris had a two-run single to cap a three-run second, and
Tarleton's other runs all came on the homers.
"They've always been the best-hitting team in the conference, and I
still think they are," TexAnns coach Julie Mata said of the Zias. "I
think we just got lucky on a few today, and our pitchers did a good job.
"Our (hitting) stats are a little deceptive. Errors have been a little bit of our downfall, but today we did a better job."
Zearfoss issued four walks, working around two of them in the first
inning. She allowed only an infield single by Rebecca Quinones in the
fourth and a two-out, pinch-hit single by Amanda Terry in the sixth.


text: My baby, now 5 days old, is #4 for me, and I have breastfed all of them. This is the first time I've really had any problems with breastfeeding. While in the hospital I did see the LC, but we both thought everything was going well because she was eating frequently and seemed to be getting plenty of milk. What neither of us noticed then is that she had a shallow latch, and now my nipples are blistered and cracked from the way she has been feeding. I have gotten lots of tips for improving her latch, and we are getting better in that area, but now I don't know what to do about the cracked nipples. The LC suggested Lanolin after every feeding, and that helped one side, and I am able to nurse on that side with just a few seconds of pain when she first latches, but the other side is so painful I want to cry every time she starts nursing on that side. The pain continues the entire time she's nursing. This morning I've only been nursing on the one side and expressing by hand out of the other side to keep it from getting engorged. I'm continuing to coat it in Lanolin every time she nurses, even though she's not actually nursing on that side. Any other suggestions for healing it quickly so we can get back to nursing normally? I'm worried that if I continue to nurse only on the one side that the healing we have seen so far will reverse and we'll just end up going back and forth from one side to the other every few days.

Summer is commonly held to be a calm season, but this year that was an exciting time on the PC monitor market. Many manufacturers not only redesigned their older models but also came up with something absolutely new: new types of the matrix, new capabilities and, what is perhaps the most important thing for the customer, new prices.
Before I begin to deal with the new products, I'd like to remind you about our methods of testing LCD monitors. Our tests fall into three groups: color reproduction, response time and contrast ratio.
The term color reproduction is somewhat vague. It cannot be described with one number, and I have to perform a number of tests in this category. First, I subjectively evaluate the quality of the image or, to be exact, color gradients (smooth transitions from black to red, from black to green, etc). Such gradients look striped on many monitors, sometimes at any settings or at any settings other than the factory ones. Some users think that striped gradients are due to the use of 18-bit matrixes instead of 24-bit ones, but this is not exactly true. The lower color depth of the matrix may indeed lead to stripes in gradients if the Frame Rate Control is poorly implemented (this is the technology that emulates 16 million colors while the matrix itself is only capable of displaying 262 thousand), but the real reason is usually different. Before outputting the image on the screen, the monitor performs a series of calculations and transformations: color temperature correction, gamma compensation, contrast correction, etc. If the accuracy of those calculations is low, you see striped gradients. The matrix's color depth has nothing to do with it. Even an "honest" 24-bit matrix cannot guarantee that the monitor will correctly process the data before sending them to the matrix. You can learn more about the different matrix types and their parameters from our article called X-bit's Guide: Contemporary LCD Monitor Parameters and Characteristics.
The second step in my test program is about gamma curves. These are curves that show the dependence between the signal sent from the graphics card and the monitor's pixel brightness. This dependence is not linear, but exponential and the exponent is denoted with the letter gamma . Without correction, an LCD matrix has an S-shaped curve rather than an exponential one, so it's the monitor's electronics' job to bring that dependence to the necessary shape. The quality of color reproduction depends on how well the electronics does this job.
In each diagram I publish in the review there are three frames (one for each basic color) and two curves, a theoretical curve for gamma 2.2 and the curve that I draw basing on my measurements. In the best possible case the two curves coincide. If they do not, there may be image defects. If the actual gamma curves are much higher than the theoretical ones, the image will look whitish on the screen. If they go lower, the image will look dark and with too much contrast. If the gamma curves for the different colors go too far from each other, some tones of gray will have a slight coloring. If the gamma curves reach the axes of the diagram sooner than at the points (0, 0) and (1, 1), the monitor won't reproduce details in lights or darks, displaying them as pure white or pure black, respectively.
The gamma curve graphs are drawn for the default settings and for reduced contrast and brightness settings. I usually publish only the former graphs because in most cases the two diagrams do not differ much. However, there are monitors which react to your changing their settings by getting free of image defects (for example, many monitors from NEC poorly reproduce details in light images at the default settings) or by acquiring them (for example, by losing details in dark images). In this case I publish the second diagram and tell you what difference is between it and the first diagram, created at the default settings.
The last test of the quality of color reproduction involves measuring the color temperature of different levels of gray. Ideally, this temperature must be the same, but in practice it is often the case that the temperature of a level of gray is hundreds or even thousands degrees higher or lower than the temperature of white. So when you set up the temperature of white correctly on such a monitor, you'll see that some tones of gray look not exactly gray but bluish (i.e. their temperature is higher than necessary) or yellowish (i.e. their temperature is lower than necessary).
The matrix response time is measured with an oscilloscope and a photo-sensor that register how the brightness of a pixel is changing. In my reviews I publish the results in either of two formats: a flat diagram whose X-axis shows levels of gray (from 32 to 255, i.e. from a dark gray to white) and Y-axis shows the time it takes to switch a pixel from black to a gray and back again to black. Or I publish a 3D histogram that shows transitions not only from black to gray, but also between different levels of gray. In the second case the average for all the transitions is calculated; it is a value indicative of the matrix speed. Besides that, I measure the error of the response time compensation circuitry for RTC-enabled monitors. An RTC error is a miss that leads to a too-high or too-low brightness of a pixel (you can learn more about RTC and its artifacts in our article called LCD Panels with Response Time Compensation: 7 Monitors Reviewed ).
And finally I measure the monitor's brightness and contrast ratio. It's simple: I use a Pantone ColorVision Spyder calibrator to measure the levels of white and black for a few variants of settings, usually at the default settings, at the maximum settings and at the settings that yield a 100nit brightness of white (1 nit = 1 candela per square meter). The ratio of those levels is the contrast ratio. The higher it is, the closer the monitor's black is to the real color of black.

The Madison Common Council unanimously passed "Project H2O" on Tuesday night.
This means the Madison Water Utility will install a transmitter to water meters on all homes in the city.
The transmitter on the meter will send a signal to collection sites that is similar to a cellphone. It will track a home's water use. The goal is to significantly reduce Madison's water use, officials said.
The Common Council said it will allow people to check their water use daily and get a monthly bill. It may be able to detect leaks and other water problems.
"Your meter reads, and the next day, the information will be posted." District 3 Alder, Lauren Cnare, said. "So, it's a 24-hour delay. But if you had a slumber party with 15 teenagers, like I did at my home last night, and if everybody got up and took a shower, you can say to your kid, 'Oh my gosh, look how much water we used.'"
The utility said these smart meters will not harm anyone's health. The signal sent is less than a millisecond every minute and only 1/4th the strength of a cellphone signal.
The project will begin at the end of July or early August. It will cost the city about $14 million, officials said.

Memories of a dark day
On Wednesday, as we all made our way through the working day, echoes of President Obama's confusing speech on Syria bouncing around in our heads, occasionally a resident would stop, turn to the person closest to him or her, and say, "Wow, I just realized it was Sept. 11."
Many of us also couldn't help comparing that dark day 12 years ago with the ominous talk of bombing Syria that is currently keeping the world on pins and needles.
If the U.S. does indeed attack Syria, we will all be in for some tense, frightening days as we wait to see how other countries react. If the bombs are dropped, it will not come as a complete surprise to us, however, which marks this period of our history as distinctly different from Sept. 11, 2001.
The awful impact of 9/11 was felt instantly around the world, causing not just horror and disbelief but also terror, even in small towns like Elkins, far removed from the big cities and major terrorist targets.
In The Inter-Mountain newsroom that morning, when the editors and reporters gathered around the tiny television saw the second plane hit the Twin Towers, it was clear to them America had been attacked. Staff members were immediately dispatched to record the responses of our community to the shocking events.
The massive loss of life – and the fact that no one yet knew the reasons behind the attacks- frayed local nerves to the breaking point by noon.
Reports circulated locally that an airplane was circling the Elkins-Randolph County Airport. Although the phenomenon was later explained, in the moment many residents were terrified. Parents clogged the Beverly Five-lane on their way to pick their children up from Elkins High School, believing an attack on the nearby airport was imminent.
By afternoon, many people had gathered their families inside their homes, watching CNN hour after hour, fearing further acts of terrorism were inevitable.
That evening, long lines snaked around the gas pumps at local service stations, as drivers filled up their tanks and gas cans, worrying that the attacks would result in the flow of oil from the Middle East being cut off.
It's a time no one who lived through it will ever forget. That terrible day ushered in two wars, and whatever one thinks of the merits of our efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, it is fair to say that most Americans are now weary of war. That helps explain the lack of support citizens have shown for Obama's air strike plan, and why Congressional leaders are wary of falling in line behind the president.
Sept. 11, 2001 led us into a dark new world. Twelve years later, many Americans are looking for traces of daylight, not another rabbit hole to dive into.

Wisconsin hunters take 5% more deer in 2012
Published On: Jan 31 2013 09:30:16 PM CST
State wildlife officials say hunters killed 5 percent more deer last year than in 2011.
According to preliminary data from the Department of Natural Resources, hunters killed a total of 366,747 deer over all the state seasons last year compared with 347,711 in 2011.
They killed 245,539 deer during the 2012 traditional nine-day November gun hunt and 93,452 during the archery season, including 45,775 bucks, a new state archery harvest record.
The numbers aren't final. The archery season continues in metro units.

The holiday season is in full swing, but one trade group predicts gift givers aren't done with their shopping yet. That means this will be a very big shopping weekend, according to the National Retail Federation (NRF).
"There's no question that the shortened holiday season has put both retailers and consumers in a rush to make the most out of the time that's left before the big day," says NRF President and CEO Matthew Shay. "Consumers will definitely be doing their homework before committing to any gift purchase, however, making it even more important for companies to compete on value, price, and digital offerings."
Like many companies, Lego's holiday sales represent a large portion of the Denmark-based toy company's yearly revenues. The Wall Street Journal reports that Lego must accurately predict and track buying patterns during December because the company packages its bricks for individual markets. Specific play sets contain many of the same bricks but some unique to the kit.
"It increases the importance of getting very good data, so we can supply the retailers with the right products at the right time," said John Goodwin, Lego's chief financial officer. "We have to be as close to the ultimate purchase as possible in order to respond."
Lego's holiday purchases are mostly in Europe and North America, but the company is looking to Asia for growth. Without the ability to see every child's wish list, Lego must rely on data and senior executives to get children and parents exactly what they want.
The magic of S&OP
When I think about how leaders at Lego and companies like it make these important decisions for the holiday sales season, my mind automatically turns to the benefits of sales and operations planning (S&OP). Consider the following definition of S&OP from the APICS Dictionary, 14th edition: "A process to develop tactical plans that provide management the ability to strategically direct its businesses to achieve competitive advantage on a continuous basis by integrating customer-focused marketing plans for new and existing products with the management of the supply chain …"
What's on your holiday list for 2013? Maybe it's time for you and your company leaders to learn how S&OP can make a big difference in your revenues all year long. APICS partners with the Institute of Business Forecasting and Planning to present the Best of the Best S&OP Conferences. We're excited to showcase this event in Amsterdam, Netherlands, May 15–16, 2014. Next, June 12–13, 2014, Best of the Best comes back to Chicago. Visit here for more information.
