Polk Overseas Ballots Safe
LAKELAND—Polk ballots sent overseas are safe, said Polk County Supervisor of Elections Lori Edwards in the wake of the crash of a transport plane at Shindad Air Base in Afghanistan last Friday. Destroyed in the plane were about 4,700 pounds of mail that was inbound for Afghanistan. Federal elections officials warned supervisors of elections to check if they had mailed absentee ballots to anyone in ZIP Code 09382, which included those American voters in Shindand, Farah, and Camp Stone.

You know your career is in the toilet when you're reduced to appearing on a "baby daddy" talk show -- and not even Maury!
Michael Lohan appeared on NBC talk show Trisha to dispute the claims of a 17-year-old girl who said he was Michael's daughter, while her mother, Kristi Horn, said that Michael has never paid child support and always denied he was the father. Father of the Year Michael submitted to a DNA test and the end result is absolutely shocking, to say the least.

I was blessed with the opportunity to share a five minute lightning talk at this past Saturday's A Web Afternoon mini-conference. The goal of the event? A conversation by people who love the web and all it's possibilities. A special hat-tip to J Cornelius for the generous invitation. I had a wonderful time.
Video may be available down the road, but I thought I'd share a rough recollection of what I said to the attendees. Enjoy.
Best-selling author, cartoonist and general all-round agitator and instigator Hugh MacLeod published this cartoon several years ago. "The web has made kicking ass easier to achieve, and mediocrity harder to sustain. Mediocrity now howls in protest."
I love this cartoon. I look at it every day. It inspires me, it makes me think about what is possible on the web. You see, the web changed my life. It gave me a voice.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I was the quintessential introvert. Quiet. Shy. Reserved. I hated, detested, social interactions. I doubt that I said a total of 200 words during high school.
Today, childhood friends, family, and high school and college buddies are stunned that I make my living doing internet radio…
The web made that possible…
You see, my first gig out of school was in politics, thus, I became a political operative for the next several years. It wasn't until I transitioned from political operative to marketing strategist that I began to come out of my shell.
The web made that possible. I experimented with the web. Tried things. Learned things. Succeeded. Failed. Failed again. And then, I stumbled onto podcasting. And that changed how I do business.
Nowadays, I do internet radio for a living. I have a studio in north Atlanta, conduct dozens of interviews a week, reach thousands, and travel coast to coast broadcasting from trade shows.
It is a fun way to earn a living, helping people and organizations tell their story. The web made that possible…
Why? The web unleashes your true potential. It unleashes your true power. And like me, it can help you find your voice. There is an artist…there is a creative…in all of us. If you let it, the web will draw that out.
You can reach millions. You can inspire millions. You can educate millions. And yes, you can even instigate millions [pointing to image of cartoon].
Now, I am about to finish my second book, a collection of essays entitled Kicking Fear's Ass, the title inspired by that cartoon [pointing again].
It is a collection of essays from people about how they are combating, and battling fear. The project is eye opening. And it reminds me that still far too many people are NOT taking advantage of what the web has to offer. And it is up to us to help them see what is possible.
And sadly, the three things that I believe hold most people back, are the three things that I think makes the web so wide open to possibility.
They say, "Oh Todd, the web is just too big. My message will be lost." Perhaps, but there is a niche out there for you. A niche that only you can reach, that only you can touch, that only you can motivate. It is hard work finding that niche, glorious work, but hard. But when you find it, your world changes.
Two, people are scared of the transparency of the web. They think they don't like people getting into their business. I say bunk. Transparency is what makes the web great.
I can spend an hour on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn, and see what inspires you, see what motivates you, see what moves you, and see what pisses you off. This is how I learn about you. And this makes for powerful connections between us. In my view, Twitter is a window into your soul.
Transparency makes the web great.
Three, people are too damn afraid of negative reactions, negative feedback. It is the reason still too many organizations do NOT engage on the social web. Heck, not a podcast goes by that I don't trip on a word, stumble on a phrase, or mispronounce someone's name. And sure as heck, someone calls me on it.
But that makes me human…and that's how I connect with my guests.
You will get negative feedback on the web. But don't worry, that never ending flow of information will keep flowing, and people will be talking about something else soon enough.
And the great thing is, when you get negative feedback, there will be people in your community who will lift you up, help you, support you, advise you, counsel you, collaborate with you and love you…
And that's what makes us ALL better.
The web changed my life. It gave me a voice. The web made that happen.
Now I need you to help others see what's possible, to find their own voice on the web, to help others kick ass on the web [pointing to cartoon again].
Now let's get to work. Thank you.

Topic: Why is it so hard to use Rails on a Windows box?
I confess I am relatively new to Rails and even newer to this forum - but just wanted to know if anyone else is struggling with Rails on a Windows machine?
I am running Windows 7 and Rails is all installed. I am playing around with existing Rails app from Git Hub. However very few actually work on a Windows setup. They require Rubracer, Capybara and others that don't appear to be easily installable or available.
Are there any tutorials available that walkthrough install apps from Github or embedding Github elements into existing projects (for Windows)?
Apologies for the rant! Feeling a little stuck at the moment.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 108 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Skip Fantastic Travel Item These were a weight saver on a two week trip to Italy. You can wash them out in a sink at night and they will be dry by morning. March 26, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by RKennedy Just What I Ordered From the moment I opened the package, I knew that the product was exactly as advertised on the Travel Smith Web site. The color was correct, the size was correct, the fit was exact and the fabric was perfect for quick dry. To test the product to make sure it worked as claimed, I went to the gym for my one hour work out wearing the product. Within 20 minutes after cool down, the boxer briefs and T's were dry as if I had just removed them from the package. Great job! March 26, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by RockyMtnBuckeye Great Item One of the best items in the catalogue. Have used this product for over 10 years. Outstanding for travel and also everyday wear. April 2, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by tenntraveler Great for Traveling I purchased 2 pair of these briefs for my hubby for our 9 day trip to Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. I knew we would be on the move alot but we had three 2-night stays in hotels so that gave me the opportunity to hand wash one pair on those nights. It does take over 12 hours to dry because of the waistband. He was very pleased with how comfortable they were and I liked not having to load down the luggage with clothes so we had room for our "special purchases" as we traveled. Thanks for a great product! April 4, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Thunder ExOfficio underwear is perfect for traveling Quick drying & comfortable...what more could you want in traveling underwear? April 9, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by monkeydevil Great Travel Underwear I just purchased another pair of these boxer briefs for my husband because they are terrific for travel. They do run a little loose. He says they are very comfortable and light and since you can quick-wash them out in a sink (or river) and dry them overnight, you can get away with only 2 pairs on a trip. One trick is to lay them on a towel after washing and squeezing them out and roll them up tight to squeeze out any extra moisture, then throw them over the shower rod and you're good to go in the morning. These will be going on a 10 day camping trip deep in the Pantanal of Brazil this summer - he's only taking 2 pairs so he can travel as light as possible...and I am doing the same with my Ex-Officio bikini underwear. April 16, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by friscogeno WOW Incredibly soft and quick-drying fabric with supportive but not restrictive design makes this the best combination yet in boxer-briefs. Could be priced better, but the Travelsmith sale made it a steal of a deal! May 14, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by bettyjo The best 3ever My husband loved these soooo much he bought 4 more pair - they fit, are cool the best ones he has ever owned May 16, 2010

By Wendell Berry
Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front
Love the quick profit, the annual raise, vacation with pay. Want more of everything ready made. Be afraid to know your neighbors and to die. And you will have a window in your head. Not even your future will be a mystery any more. Your mind will be punched in a card and shut away in a little drawer. When they want you to buy something they will call you. When they want you to die for profit they will let you know. So, friends, every day do something that won't compute. Love the Lord. Love the world. Work for nothing. Take all that you have and be poor. Love someone who does not deserve it. Denounce the government and embrace the flag. Hope to live in that free republic for which it stands. Give your approval to all you cannot understand. Praise ignorance, for what man has not encountered he has not destroyed. Ask the questions that have no answers. Invest in the millennium. Plant sequoias. Say that your main crop is the forest that you did not plant, that you will not live to harvest. Say that the leaves are harvested when they have rotted into the mold. Call that profit. Prophesy such returns. Put your faith in the two inches of humus that will build under the trees every thousand years. Listen to carrion—put your ear close, and hear the faint chattering of the songs that are to come. Expect the end of the world. Laugh. Laughter is immeasurable. Be joyful though you have considered all the facts. So long as women do not go cheap for power, please women more than men. Ask yourself: Will this satisfy a woman satisfied to bear a child? Will this disturb the sleep of a woman near to giving birth? Go with your love to the fields. Lie easy in the shade. Rest your head in her lap. Swear allegiance to what is nighest your thoughts. As soon as the generals and the politicos can predict the motions of your mind, lose it. Leave it as a sign to mark the false trail, the way you didn't go. Be like the fox who makes more tracks than necessary, some in the wrong direction. Practice resurrection.
Wendell Berry is a poet, farmer, and environmentalist in Kentucky. This poem, first published in 1973, is reprinted by permission of the author and appears in his "New Collected Poems" (Counterpoint).

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (181 votes).
In short: Great RaceIn full: Thoroughly enjoyed this race. That atmosphere whilst waiting at the start was buzzing. Nice mix of hills and some great scenic view to enjoy on the way. The water stations were well placed especially on what felt like a humid day. Great Job. Highly recommended.Date of review: September 4, 2012
Date of review: September 3, 2012
In short: Great race, great atmosphere, steep hills!In full: What an excellent race! Those hills are a quad killer, but I absolutely loved running up them. For anyone wanting a challenge, something different from the usual flat fast course, then this is the race for you. Don't expect a PB unless you are used to hill training. I've never done any proper steep-hill training but I loved this challenging course from start to finish. Tech T-shirt is nice. Barbeque at finish was a nice touch. Fabulous marshalls, friendly and encouraging. (Sharon, race no: 329)Date of review: September 3, 2012
In short: Good race, well organised.In full: It's the first time I've run the course under race conditions and it was certainly a challenge. The weather was kind and the crowds shouting encouragement at the finish were excellent.Date of review: September 3, 2012
In short: Challenging but enjoyable and friendlyDate of review: September 3, 2012
In short: They're clearly very proud of this race, and with good reason!In full: Excellent value for money, a growing number of racers each year (and a fast field at that), a very enjoyable route consisting of twists, turns and hills - as good a course as you get on road, really. Very little traffic on the roads, brilliantly organised, couldn't ask for better water stations. Great parking and the Blacksmith's Arms pub, too. The technical tee at the end is a nice one.One thing they could do to improve it is to think about the starting procedure. Because of where the start is (and it's a perfectly measured 10 mile course), they made everyone wait on the other side of the road, not at the line. The starter then got everyone to the line and literally 15 seconds after we'd moved, the gun went off, without any previous audible warning. In a race without chip timing, this isn't great, since apart from the first two rows who always get themselves to the front, all abilities were now crammed together. Please find a way to give us at least a full minute at the start line to get into a position we're comfortable with. I realise this was related to the safety issue of the traffic.Great weather on the day, too, and the Wolds Vets are a very friendly club. I'm only not putting this as an all-time favourite because I reserve that for very out-of-the-ordinary races. This one does the ordinary extraordinarily well.Date of review: September 3, 2012
In short: Fantastic as alwaysDate of review: September 2, 2012
In short: the best race everIn full: pure goldDate of review: September 2, 2012
In short: Great coarse, not complicated and well marshalled though out Date of review: September 2, 2012

Avid basketball fan Justin Bieber got an extremely frosty reception at a game in Los Angeles yesterday (11th May).
Justin, 20, took his 38-year-old mum Pattie Mallette to watch the Los Angeles Clippers take on the Oklahoma City Thunder as a special treat for American Mother's Day.
However, things turned sour when Justin's face was flashed up on the big screens.
"The entire placed booed him when Staples Center cameras put him on the jumbotron," a source told E! News.
Clearly used to being booed after facing a barrage of jeers at Canada's Juno Awards in March and the Billboard Awards last May, Justin didn't let the chorus of disapproval affect him.
In fact, he seemed more concerned with taking fun selfies with his mum than actually watching the game:

The Uninsured: A KC Survival Guide
The Uninsured:A KC Survival Guide airs Monday 8pm KCPT
THE UNINSURED: A Kansas City Survival Guide
Airs on KCPT – Monday, April 26, 8pm
Even though Congress passed a contentious healthcare reform bill this Spring, health watchers caution that it will take years to implement many of its key provisions, and even then, not all uninsured Americans will be guaranteed coverage.
In The Uninsured: A Kansas City Survival Guide, KCPT sets aside the divisive politics to navigate the places metro residents can turn when they find themselves without health insurance.
From emergency room care to free health clinics, KCPT takes a realistic look at what's available and what you might expect when you get there. Host Nick Haines talks with Kansas City residents who are already struggling to access the medical system without an insurance card. He also consults with area experts on less obvious ways to get free or reduced health services in the metro.
As frustrating as the search can be, there are places to turn for people who have lost their insurance because of layoffs or cutbacks or who are not offered affordable coverage by their employers.
In the one-hour broadcast KCPT tracks options for residents:
- without health insurance
- older children aging out of their parents insurance plans
- employees who work for small -businesses that don't offer a health insurance benefit
- insured patients who have pre-existing conditions not covered by their health plans
During the broadcast, viewers will have the opportunity to receive a free companion resource guide providing tips, options and a comprehensive listing of organizations providing preventive, dental and eye care at no or low cost.
KCPT's program, THE UNINSURED: A Kansas City Survival Guide is made possible by a grant from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City. Additional resources have been provided by the member organizations of the Greater Kansas City Cover the Uninsured Coalition.

I think most readers here loathe two character flaws quite a lot. That would be hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty.
It always amazes me when people wear their dishonesty on their sleeves, though, because somehow, they don't seem to see it themselves. Recently I got a letter that was illustrative of a particular sort of dishonesty we see far more often than we should. The writer asked the following question:
"Is there any explanation for why I appreciate the ornate interior of a Church or any structural painting or more importantly natural wonder. As an example, take the Autumn Crocus or Rhododendron, both beautiful flowers with beautiful scents but both are astonishing poisonous & can result in a painful death. Hypothetically, from an evolutionary stand point, we as early herbivores, should have recognized the danger of such plants & evolved to find them offensive."
Let me butt in here just to note the underlying passive claim being made: "If evolution is true, how can this be?" The implication being "Evolution is not true" (as we see by the end of the below paragraph):
"From a biological stand point, yes they may herald good weather or spring, but some equally herald rot & decay by growing in infertile places or smell foul (e.g. carrion flowers), to the bee they are bright & smell pleasant so the bee will pollinate the flower but we serve no symbiotic biological function. So why then does the Autumn Crocus look so attractive to us, whilst the harmless slug is so revolting, yet so benign? I, or rather the religious part of my brain, likes to attribute this appreciation to the idea of a grand designer, what many might call God. I would not go so far as to call 'it' God, but like to think of it rather as some divine equation. (Strange I know)."
And here's where the crap enters in. Argument from (Willful) Ignorance 101. To paraphrase:
"I could look up research into human aesthetics, but then I might find an actual answer about what drives that mechanism. So, I'd rather pretend it's a mystery and attribute it to god, and then feign I really do care about the answer by writing to atheists, rather than behavioral psychologists or evolutionary biologists who likely would be qualified to offer the real answer I so desperately wish to avoid."
And the finale he offered:
"I don't pretend to have the answers or maybe even the relevant questions, but would dearly like to know your thoughts on the matter. Have you come across this argument or similar arguments before? Do Primates find such natural objects beautiful?"
No, you don't pretend to have an answer. You pretend you care about the real answer. And then you pretend there is no answer by using a question to make an assertion. Why ask atheists if they have an answer to a question that should be put to an evolutionary biologist or behavioral psychologist?
Who hasn't seen the lying theist (he claims to be an "agnostic"…but what do you think?) a million times asking the atheist "how do you explain this?," rather than the expert in the relevant field? If I want to know about a cure for leukemia, I ask an oncologist, not a florist. But how stupid to go to a florist and assert, "But there is no cure for leukemia…do you know of one?" If I want to honestly know about a leukemia cure, why wouldn't I go to the expert in the relevant field?
Hint: Because I don't really want to know the real answer. I want to try and stump the atheist.
Here is why this vexes me: I'm not your personal Google Slave. But you seem to want to use me like I am.
In zero time, I found the answer to his mysterious question without an answer. What drives human aesthetics?
I also shared a story about a bird that would shed some light:
"Birds also have demonstrate aesthetic sense. Some birds will build elaborate dwelling places to attract mates. I watched a documentary where researchers moved some of the stones and other gathered items when a male bird left to collect more things to add to the dwelling. On his return, he 'rearranged' the objects that had been moved. It seemed he not only was dropping baubles around as shiny or colorful objects, but had some sense of where they actually belonged–although to the human, it looked like a mess of stuff on the ground. One day maybe well gain some grasp of 'bird aesthetics.'"
I also explained a bit about misrepresenting evolution—by looking at a single trait in isolation. And I explained that some traits that seem harmful can actually have overall benefit. Additionally I wrote the following:
"Ironically I find that this sort of argument also lends itself to having one's cake and eating it too. If the world were perfect, surely theists would claim that as evidence of divine creation. So, how do flaws also equal evidence of divinity? If it's perfect, it's god; if it's imperfect, it's god. So, what would a _natural_ universe look like then? Is there anything that would indicate "no god" was involved? If not–then the claim god was involved is useless and meaningless. It boils down to saying "I don't care what you show me, whatever I see, I'll just say god did it."
I thought my reply was fairly civil, but then I got a response that contained something odd:
"If I had one admonishment on the surge in atheist activity lately it would be the tone in which you deliver your arguments. People do not like to be talked down to, & that may seem the easiest thing to do, especially if they represent an idiotic standpoint in your opinion. And with some people, I don't even think it's a question of intelligence in grasping your views, I believe some people's brains are just wired to believe in Divinity 'I don't care what you show me, whatever I see, I'll just say god did it.'. Maybe those people are a lost cause.
"In a sense it worries me that, here we stand on the brink of enlightenment, with the possibility of a new 'superstition' free society, thanks to the ideas & work of a great many atheists, including yourselves. And yet simultaneously you alienate those who need explanation & discourse, not condescending rants. I am not having a cheap shot at you or atheists in general, I just hope for the sake of mankind, we can get everyone to agree on a new broad thinking sense of society."
Again, sort of odd, especially since the writer himself is guilty of what he accuses those "lost causes" of doing? Didn't he just duck to miss a real answer, and then try to insinuate the cause as god? How is that different than the "god done it" crowd?
Well, you pretty well know the AETV stance on mocking stupidity. I'm arguably the kindest cohost, but even I had to defend Matt's refrain that "ridiculous ideas are, by definition, worthy of ridicule":
Here is my reply interspersed with the correspondent's note:
HIM: If I had one admonishment on the surge in atheist activity lately it would be the tone in which you deliver your arguments. People do not like to be talked down to
ME: Then they would do well to look up the issues they write/speak to us about before they come to us with them. If a person writes/calls and wants to discuss evolution, and has a fundamental misunderstanding of what evolution is and how it functions, then why should I speak to him/he
r as though he/she is informed and can speak intelligently on the issue? Frankly, until they demonstrate they _care_ enough to study the topic to inform themselves before spouting ignorant opinions, I don't see why I should treat them as though they're anything but ignorant people spouting ignorant opinions…?
HIM: that may seem the easiest thing to do, especially if they represent an idiotic standpoint in your opinion.
ME: If a person doesn't want to be addressed as an idiot, and their views are idiotic, I would advise they not make their stupidity public. That, to me, is the most basic and simplest solution to keep them from being put off by negative response. OR, they can grow a thicker skin. For example, theists think I'm evil and going to hell, and I simply think they're wrong. I'm not "offended" by someone else's idiotic beliefs. And I also don't feel obligated to show deference to any person's stupidity. And I don't ASK anyone to do that for _me_. If I say something dumb–I may expect to be corrected, and not always kindly. But regardless of the approach, I'd do well to accept deserved admonishment and not blame the messenger, even if he's unkind. If I walk away more informed and less likely to repeat a stupid claim to someone else, I've been done a favor.
HIM: And with some people, I don't even think it's a question of intelligence in grasping your views, I believe some people's brains are just wired to believe in Divinity "I don't care what you show me, whatever I see, I'll just say god did it.". Maybe those people are a lost cause.
ME: Again, they have the option to keep quite if they don't want people criticizing what they think. They have a right to believe and say what they like. But anyone who expresses their views to someone else _invites_ a response, and to think everyone will agree or be kind in response is extremely naive.
HIM: And yet simultaneously you alienate those who need explanation & discourse, not condescending rants.
ME: Again, I'm free to rant racist crap all day long, but I'm a fool to expect people to embrace me or my ideas if that's what I do.
HIM: I just hope for the sake of mankind, we can get everyone to agree on a new broad thinking sense of society.
ME: I sincerely hope I will denounce stupidity and harmful ideas to the day I die—no matter who expresses them or how taken aback they are to hear dissent to their assumptions.
Now, what I got back became increasingly agitated and, well, full blown crazy strawman. It seems that what I said above is evidence that I would like the world run as a Totalitarian Police State? Note how he takes my general comments as personal (martyr much?):
"I would say thank you for your reply but I think that would be dishonest. To be frank I found the whole e-mail quite scathing & I'm really not sure what I have done to warrant such discourse. I merely wanted to point out that you should be tolerant of someone's ideas, because it is 'your opinion' that you think them idiotic. You can never persuade someone's thinking by patronising them or suggesting their intelligence is substandard. I learnt this the hard way working in the medical profession, a lesson that might well be forgotten in the dark lonely halls of academia.
"'Should not people presenting poisonous ideas be alienated by an enlightened society?' Really? To be honest I'm suprised that such an apparently intelligent person would deliver such a outrageous statement. First off all what kind of enlightened society do you envisage that would alienate anybody? And the notion that an idea should be poisonous is also ridiculous, it's only the society that implements such an idea that is dangerous, not the idea itself. What you seem to suggest as an enlightened society sounds like some totalitarian erudite state. In fact your statement might well have come from the mouth of some megalomaniac church leader.
"'To be conscious that you are ignorant is a great step to lnowledge.' –Benjamin Disraeli"
OK, "me" again. See, this is the problem: Theism must prefer a society where criticism isn't leveled at unsupported or unreasonable ideas. Now, the supreme irony is that theists call us evil, Satanic, vile, worthy of condemnation—and they have a history of killing anyone who disagrees, depending on the time and place. But criticism of ridiculous theistic ideas, apparently is the same as breaking people's doors down in the middle of the night and dragging them off to never be heard from again. Because I say bad ideas should be checked publicly, I'm the voice of Totalitarianism.
So, I tried to explain it to him as though he were intelligent:
ME: I fail to understand what you found personally scathing–since almost nothing I said was personally directed at you. Please be assured that any offense or discomfort you experienced is solely self-inflicted.
HIM: You can never persuade someone's thinking by patronising them or suggesting their intelligence is substandard.
ME: I agree, but I think if a person is as unreachable as those you described, then a kind approach is no better. I find using them as examples for others less close minded ends up "helping" those who see the humiliation understand how idiotic the theist looks. Then they can safely examine their own beliefs without suffering the same fate. These people write to us daily saying they've watched and learned. And as they _are_ reachable, we are helping people–the people who can be reached. I frankly don't waste time concerning myself about people who don't wish to be helped. Expending concern on things I cannot improve is wasted energy. I focus on the areas where I can help. And I don't apologize for that.
HIM: First off all what kind of enlightened society do you envisage that would alienate anybody?
ME: Would you embrace Nazis and racists? Jihadists? NAMBL? Please think before you speak. Again, they have a right to their beliefs–and to express their beliefs. But for society to try to include those beliefs as part of "enlightened" dialog is idiotic.
HIM: And the notion that an idea should be poisonous is also ridiculous, it's only the society that implements such an idea that is dangerous
ME: No, it's dangerous to say it's illegal to think or speak it. It's intelligent to judge it and say "your concepts are harmful, and if you try to put them into practice, I will oppose you to the last."
HIM: What you seem to suggest as an enlightened society sounds like some totalitarian erudite state.
ME: Only if you totally ignore what I said. I did not call for thought police. I did not call for silencing anyone by force. I said that if a person spouts ignorance they should expect criticism. That's totalitarian? That's public dialog, I thought? And I still say that those who don't have the capacity to defend their beliefs should think hard before expressing them–else they get shown up as the ignorant fools they are. I'm not asking they be executed or arrested, just shown to be exactly what they are.
HIM: In fact your statement might well have come from the mouth of some megalomaniac church leader.
ME: Except I can show you wher
e churches HAVE tried to silence others via force. That's NOT what I'm doing. And if you still think it is, then you're simply incapable of listening.
What I got back was not a response from someone interested in honest dialog. It was further strawmen and a statement from someone who is monologuing, not dialoging. Rather than respond to what I said, he merely kept asserting I'm advocating a police state:
"Just a small point. It's not public dialog to alienate 'people presenting poisonous ideas… by an enlightened society'. Alienating a person based on the belief that there is something greater than we understand would entail alienating most of the people on the planet. Totalitarianism 'recognizes no limits to its authority and strives to regulate every aspect of public and private life wherever feasible.' When you talk of alienating people based on their 'poisonous ideas' you are speaking of totalitarism.
"To alienate 1 : to make unfriendly, hostile, or indifferent especially where attachment formerly existed."
So, again, saying it's OK to call stupid things stupid means I "recognize no limits to my authority." I mean, how can someone type this without spitting milk through their nose and disabling their keyboard? Surely he'd have to be laughing at the time? I know I would have been!
And really, this is where it just became too funny to read further. How could I take it seriously any more? A person saying "your ideas are stupid," does not a "police state" constitute. Martyr, Martyr, Martyr. You DO NOT have a right to not be offended. You DO NOT have a right to say whatever you like and not endure public response. You simply DO NOT. You may think what you like. You may say what you like. But others may say what they like as well, including that you're an idiot. Free speech does not just belong to theists! It's free speech and public dialog–for everyone, Peaches–not just you! I support anyone's right to believe and say what they like. And the fact you claim you can twist that in your cheese brain into "totalitarian" ideology only further demonstrates your capacity for dishonesty and self-deception.
Is there no strawman too big?
At this point, what else could I say?…
"Criticizing people's stupid concepts is not the same as 'recognizes no limits to its authority and strives to regulate every aspect of public and private life wherever feasible.' Get honest. Mocking stupidity is not a police state. Have you utterly lost your brain?!
"Please drop your ridiculous histrionics. You're only making yourself look foolish."
This received the mature response of "I know you are, but what am I?," as follows (and note the haughty tone–I was so intimidated by his faux eloquence):
"Dearest Woman,
"Given that I have no hystera that would be an impossibility. But for you, on the other hand, it would be relatively natural.
"Good day to you."
I couldn't think of anything more along the lines of poetic justice than to give him firsthand access to an experience with what Free Speech means in the modern age. So, I told him he made our public blog, and that I'd be posting his ideas shortly for the judgment of the rational viewing public. My guess is that he's going to get a horribly Totalitarian response—that is, people actually voicing criticism of these concepts. I do, however, honestly hope he survives it. If it's too scary, perhaps he can seek political asylum in Switzerland–if he doesn't mind living with secularists?

Marriages Make Money
To The Reader's Forum:
This is a response to the Letter to the Editor from Tom Krasinski printed on July 10 in which he claimed that the now unconstitutional Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was "crafted to prevent another raid on the U.S. Treasury."
To the contrary, as reported in a study in 2004 by the bipartisan Congressional Budget Office, allowing same sex marriages to be recognized by the federal government would increase federal revenue $500 to $700 million per year from 2011 to 2014 and beyond. Further, one year after New York passed the Marriage Equality Act, same sex marriages created an economic benefit in New York City alone of $250 million.

Monday, February 24, 2014 - Text by Dev Sukumar | Badmintonphoto
Its riches in Women's Doubles make China the envy of all nations – and the story is unlikely to change this year.
If there is one category that is essentially China versus the Rest of the World, it's Women's Doubles. At least ten top-class players are at the superpower's disposal, giving China the luxury of testing various combinations in the past year and, despite experimentation, returning with most of the major titles. Few would bet against similar Chinese domination in 2014 too.
The surest measure of China's dominance in Women's Doubles was that, since January 2013, it won all but two of 15 Superseries, plus the BWF World Championships and the Badminton Asia Championships. Even more impressively, it was a victorious run that did not depend entirely on established stars such as Olympic champions Tian Qing/Zhao Yunlei or World champions Yu Yang/Wang Xiaoli.
Instead, the past season saw the emergence of a powerful new combination: Bao Yixin and Tang Jinhua (BWF home page). Since teaming up at the Dutch Open in mid-October, Bao and Tang have gone on a spree of 35 matches without being beaten, pocketing five Superseries and two GP Gold. Although she is just 21 years old, Bao has quickly turned into one of the best in the business, achieving success with three partners. One of Bao's big triumphs was the Indonesia Open. Bao and Cheng Shu derailed the express run of senior compatriots and world No. 1 pair Yu Yang/Wang Xiaoli – their first loss after a 27-match winning streak.
Other young Chinese, such as Zhong Qianxin, Cheng Shu, Ou Dongni and Tang Yuanting too have made their presence felt. Given big team events such as the Uber Cup and Asian Games on the calendar, it will be interesting to see the choice of China's frontline pairs.
Of the non-Chinese pairs, Denmark's Christinna Pedersen/Kamilla Rytter Juhl (No. 2) and Misaki Matsutomo/Ayaka Takahashi (Japan; left) were the most successful. Pedersen and Rytter Juhl (above) were spectacular at the season-ending BWF World Superseries Finals in December 2013, playing unbeaten, including a rare defeat of Yu Yang/Wang Xiaoli.
Takahashi and Matsutomo had several impressive results to their credit, although they couldn't quite nail a major title. Their compatriots Miyuki Maeda/Satoko Suetsuna were luckier, winning the India Open, shortly before Suetsuna announced her retirement in her home Yonex Open Japan, leaving Maeda to partner Reika Kakiiwa. The most striking feature of Japan's Women's Doubles teams has been their exceptional defence, which they use to frustrate bigger-hitting opponents.
Korea too has a strong presence in Women's Doubles. However, the Koreans have also been experimenting with various combinations. Eom Hye Won and Jang Ye Na, who had a brilliant run into the final of the BWF World Championships, were split soon after and paired with other players such as Shin Seung Chan and Kim So Young. Having two pairs in the top ten – Jung Kyung Eun/Kim Ha Na and Jang Ye Na/Kim So Young (above) – and others such as Shin Seung Chan, Lee So Hee, Ko A Ra and Yoo Hae Won waiting in the wings, Korea has strength in numbers.
The same cannot be said of Indonesia, which is dependent on two pairs – Greysia Polii/Nitya Krishinda Maheswari (left) and Rizki Amelia Pradipta/Pia Zebadiah Bernadeth – to deliver the goods. As far as the other nations are concerned, Poon Lok Yan/Tse Ying Suet (Hong Kong), Line Damkjaer Kruse/Marie Roepke, Vivian Hoo/Woon Khe Wei (Malaysia) and the recently re-united Indian pair Ashwini Ponnappa/Jwala Gutta (India) might be worth keeping an eye on.
Those expecting a shift in the narrative of Chinese dominance are likely to be disappointed. However, to the neutral fan, Women's Doubles will continue to impress for women doubles' players have in recent times become ever more athletic, powerful and aggressive.
The big question is: will Bao Yixin/Tang Jinhua emerge from the shadows of their more illustrious seniors or do the latter have more tricks up their sleeves?

*6 months max!* Mitch and I are moving to Tasmania and are looking for a temporary place to live while we look for a home to buy. We're property owners ourselves (in Queensland) and are very respectful of other people's homes (as we hope that our tenants are with ours!). We're pretty quiet people. We've worked as private chefs and prefer to stay in. I'm a cheese maker and Mitch is a winemaker and we lived in Europe for few years practising these trades, so we have lots of stories to tell (and wine/cheese knowledge to share). For fun I run (I'm a marathoner); Mitch does not run.
I am a happy, reliable, clean and tidy individual that is looking for a modern house to share. Prefer own bathroom but not necessary. I have moved down from Noosa. Looking from Kettering , Sandy Bay, Taroona, Blackmans Bay, Kingsgate to Eagle Neck. I am a health therapist as my profession.
I am really friendly and down to earth, I am tidy/clean and enjoy cooking. I'm looking for flatmates who are also pretty easy going enjoy a beer or 2 and can also be respectful of personal space. I'll be in Tas for at least 6 months.
I'm a small business owner/operator and am studying political science at uni. I also do a lot of work for the Tasmanian Greens. I'm clean, I have all my own furniture including whitegoods, I like gardening, and I will always make sure the recycling is sorted properly. I have a pet rabbit (her name is Puff) who is very friendly and lives inside (she's toilet trained).
I'm a student studying graphic design in Hobart and working part time in retail. I have two super friendly cats that are mainly inside (toilet trained) but happy to make them outside cats if need be. Looking for a place with house mates that are also fairly tidy, laid back and easy to get along with and that are also up for the occasional drink or two! My rent runs out 22 March.
I'm a 29yo student, who will be working at the CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research Institute for roughly a month ( +/- a week), starting from the 23rd of January until end of February. So I'm looking for a furnished accommodation, which is not too far from my working place. I'm a clean, tidy and easy going guy, who likes to cook, socialise and is up for mostly any kind of outdoor activities. So in case you have or will have a room available shortly and you think this would work, shoot me text. Cheers, Fabian
I've been living in Tassie (launceston) for the past 3 years but have decided to move to Hobart to continue my studies and work. Originally from Sydney but have enjoyed the change of lifestyle Tassie has to offer. Very easy going, clean, respectful and outgoing. Will be studying full time and working part time. Love getting out and about on a day off and enjoying the sun and sights. A bit of a whizz in the kitchen and always enjoy watching a good cooking show with a glass of wine.
Easy going , hard working 48yr old woman. Looking for shared or independent place that is pet friendly as I have a gentle lab who will be coming with me.

Hello, I'm Emily! I am a 20 year old Canadian student coming to Hobart on an exchange for a semester. I am a fun-loving, respectful, reliable and clean up after myself. I am able to adapt to my environment quite easily. I am very friendly and would love to have roommates that I could be friends with but I also respect personal space and privacy. I would love to live close enough to the university that it would not be an inconvenience having to commute as well as somewhere central enough I can explore all the city has to offer! If anyone wants to get together to find a place to share, I would be down!
Heya! I'm an Adeladian post-grad student heading to Tasmania for the first time. Love hikes, good food and coffee (going to love Tassie!). Looking for a furnished or partially furnished house with equally as relaxed and social housemates who will have a bit of a laugh with me. Moving mid Feb so jumping on then band wagon early :)
Hi everyone, I'm from India and I'm headed to UTAS mid Feb for my PhD. I'm a laid back and respectful person. I like to keep the house clean and tidy. I'm looking for a place that's walking/ cycling distance from the uni and willing to team up with others. Would love to hike and swim and explore Tasmania's unique environment , so anybody interested in teaming up please feel free to msg me.
My name is Griff, I'm 24 years old and currently living in Launceston. I work for the state government as a Project Officer. Early next year I will have to relocate to Hobart for work, and I also plan to study law part time. I've just started looking for potential accommodation and it appears that you can get more for your money if you share with someone - so I thought I'd give flatmates.com.au a whirl. I'm a very outgoing person who is easy to get along with. I'm admittedly quite tidy and clean, and looking for someone who shares the same qualities. I'm looking for someone who values personal space, but who is also willing to have a laugh and share a glass of wine. I'm quite into fitness, so chances are if you live with me, I'll be out most of the day either at the gym, or at work... Charismatic, hardworking and reliable are probably three words to describe me - take that as you will! I'd love to live as central as possible due to my work being in the centre of the city. A dishwasher would be idyllic... If you're interested in chatting further, then send me a message. At this stage, I'm looking to move late January - mid February. Looking forward to meeting you!
26, female, originally from Perth. Moved to Hobart to work at UTAS. Love pets, but got none of my own. Want somewhere 20km within UTAS or CBD (preferably 10km). Asides from that just need fast internet (NBN). Lived all over the world - Venezuela, India, Spain, America. Love to meet different people. Trilingual (spanish, english, bengali) + conversational French and Hindi.
Uni student, sometimes quiet sometimes fun. The indoor part of me practices calligraphy, reads, bakes, plays ukulele and keyboard (won't disturb flatmates). The outgoing me loves camping, bush walking, backpacking, and trying news things will rush adrenaline. :) Easy-going and tidy person, open-minded, like socialising as well. I care about the feelings of my flatmates, I am all ears for your concerns, fears, troubles, joys etc. Shy to begin with but easy to get along well with. :)
I am a visiting student from China in IMAS. I am quiet and go to bed early. Most of the time I will be in school. But I also enjoy time staying at home. I like reading and yoga.
Well i am a little bit funny, i am friendly, and i cook very little so leave the kitchen clean. I am quite adventurous - which is how I've ended up needing to find a house to live in 1 week! So am up for fun new things! :)
I'm am what one would call an extroverted- introvert. In other words if you want to talk, I'm keen, if not, that's good too. In general I do enjoy cooking and keeping a clean house. I come with a beautiful cat, that is very dog friendly and loves to socialise. I am a bit of a home-body, and whilst having one social drink is fine, I'm not a party animal.
We are a family from China including me, my wife and daughter. Due to studying in UTAS, I would like to look for an accommodation near the campus and city. Thank you.
Hey! I'm a twenty something vegan, studying honours in zoology. I'm passionate about the environment, conservation, and trying to make a change in the world. I've been living in Hobart for a couple of years now but my current lease is not getting renewed so I'm looking for a room in a place with some like minded, easy going people who like a chat over a cuppa. I don't have any pets of my own but if you do I'm very happy to share a place with some furry little mates (or any sort of animal friend).
From Sydney been here about 7 years. I am quite a busy person, usually out doing things during the day, If home fairly quiet but enjoy communal hang outs and lounge room chils. In my spare time enjoy doing art, and going out.
My name is Pip and I am moving to Hobart for work (I work in the film industry) in early February through til June (may end up being longer). I'm quiet and considerate and always clean up after myself! I love Hobart and am looking forward to coming back and living somewhere great!
Hi! My name is Georgie. I'm looking for some housemates to move in with me and my current housemate/cousin, Sarah, at the end of January. I'm a barista/deportment teacher coming into my last semester of Uni in 2017. Sarah works in early learning and outside school hours care. Sarah has an outdoor cat named Pepsi. He's small, black and thinks he's a human. Unfortunately though, he doesn't get along well with other animals - so all potential housemates must be pet-free. We're both friendly, easy-going and generally pretty quiet. We enjoy our netflix binges, espresso martinis and food. We'd like housemates who we could be friends with but we also understand the need for personal space. Our budget is $160 or lower per person, per week. If you'd like to have a chat to find out more about us, get in touch! We can't wait to hear from you!
First Year Uni student. Studying fine arts. Respectful and kind. Moving from North West Tas.
Hi I'm Alex! I'm moving back to Hobart from Melbourne in February and am looking to find a place in the Sandy Bay/Battery Point/South Hobart/Hobart. I'm clean, social and easy to live with. In my spare time I study, read, cook, gym and hang out with friends.
Hi there! My name is Emma. I am 21 years old and have scored a new grad job at the Royal Hobart Hospital starting in January! I'm easy-going, friendly and tidy. I have spent the past three years in a share-house so I hopefully know by now what it means to be a good housemate! I love being in the outdoors, going on adventures, being healthy and active but also love a cheeky wine and cheese. Ideally, I would love to be able be within riding or walking distance of the Hospital for work each day. I enjoy hanging out with my flatmates, but I also respect others and enjoy my own personal space. If you feel I would fit in well with your house, please don't hesitate to message me! I am also interested in team-ups if that is preferred - I am moving from Newcastle so I'm excited to meet some new, fun people. Look forward to hearing from you!

I'm Francesco, 26 years old lad from Italy. I'm about to start my course at TasTafe in tour guiding. I've been living in Australia the past 12 months, working full time and visiting the country. I have a long experience in house sharing, both in Europe and Australia. I'm an easy-going person but neat, respectful and reliable. I clean after myself, love to cook and I am a quiet person, but enjoy company and a few occasional drinks. I pay my bills, bond and rent on time because I know what does it mean to rent a property. I have my own car and I'll be working part-time during my studies. I'll be in Hobart the 26th of January and would like to move into a room as soon as possible. Please let me know if you have anything that may suit my profile, and when it is possible to arrange an inspection, thank you! Francesco
Hi 24 year old engineer. Clean, reliable and social. Loves labradors, makes memes, obsessed with star wars and footy.
I'm usually up before 6 am for jogging, gym or to bake bread. I'm a full time PhD student studying how climate change effects soil processes. I kayak, hike, rock climb, bake and am pretty chill to get along with. I'm tidy and would prefer all common spaces stay tidy as well.
Hi, my name is Lucia who is quiet, easy going, neat and tidy. I am looking for long-term and stable accommodation.
I am a law student from Lucerne, Switzerland. I would like to study the final semester of my master at UTAS and I am still looking for accomodation. I am open, easygoing and clean. I get along well with almost anybody and like socialising. However, sometimes I also need some quiet time for myself. I like sports like hiking, swimming, tennis and I play the piano. I also like traveling, cooking, reading. If you want, I can teach you german or swiss german, a little bit of french and spanish ;-) I don't smoke. I will arrive in Hobart on 16th of February, and would leave in the first week of July. Looking forward to hearing from you!
We are both flexible and easy-going, prefer to stay in a clean and tidy place. I enjoy cooking whilst Bryan enjoys music so we hope to find housemates with similar interests and hobbies.
Journalist, photography enthusiast who's always down for a good yarn. I'm 24-years-old and completely housetrained. I'm social but have an understanding of what it means to wrap myself up in my covers and binge on Netflix or read a good book. I'm moving from Sydney to Hobart for the year to work for the ABC. I have never been to Tasmania before and I'm pretty excited to get to know the place. I will be working insane hours during the week so will likely find myself in bed on week nights but I'm always up for socialising on the weekends over a wine and good meal (and with Maggie Beer as inspiration - I'd like to think I'm an ok cook).
I am fairly easy going and have something to talk about most times. That being said i enjoy my quiet times too. Love cooking and having meals together with a beer or two.

My current housemate is happy for you to give her a call if you'd like to ask her any questions about myself or Floyd. No dramas at all. Im pushing 30 so my body has decided for me that I'm no longer into the partying scene. Do love a cuppa!!! Kind regards, Brooke.
I'm an exchange student from Canada, and I'm hoping to make the most out of my time in Australia! I'm clean, always up for a beer, and I'm looking to have the most amount of fun on my student budget. I'm easy to live with, and fairly easy going. :)
Hello-hello! I really hope someone could help me- I am a future exchange student in UTAS starting from February 2017 and will be staying there just for a semester. I'm adventurous and smiley, tidy and responsible, and I will be coming all the way from England (although I am Estonian so even more exciting!).

Looking for a house with a view and friendly, easy going people who don't mind a bit of social interaction like watching a movie, cooking together or going on adventures in free time. I get along with most anyone :). Any questions feel free to ask!

Coming off its second straight Ivy League Championship, the baseball team will begin regional play Friday in Coral Gables, Florida.
This season has already been a historic one for the Lions (29-18, 15-5 Ivy). After sweeping Dartmouth in the Ivy League Championship Sereies for the second year in a row, the Light Blue took took two-of-three from Bucknell (30-19-1)—which is also tournament-bound—to set a new program record with 29 victories on the year. Columbia, which earned its first-ever NCAA tournament win in 2013 against New Mexico, will now have a chance to make a splash on the national stage once again.
With senior lefty David Speer recovering from an emergency appendectomy that was performed Monday, sophomore righty George Thanopoulos will get the nod for Columbia in its first game of the double-elimination NCAA regional against No. 23 Texas Tech (40-18). Thanopoulos is 5-2 with a 2.81 ERA and three saves on the year, one of which came in the Lions' decisive game 2 win over the Big Green in the ILCS that clinced the title.
The Red Raiders' bats will not make things easy for Thanopoulos.
First baseman Eric Gutierrez headlines a potent Texas Tech lineup that is hitting a collective .294 and slugging .422 on the season—the best team marks in the Big 12. Individually, Gutierrez led the conference with 12 home runs and 56 RBIs, to go along with a .313 average and a .416 on-base percentage.
The other two teams in the Lions' regional are Miami and Bethune-Cookman, which will play Friday at 7 p.m. The Hurricans are the regional's top seed, followed in order by Texas Tech, Columbia, and the Wildcats. The Light Blue will be the Ivy League's first-ever three-seed at an NCAA regional.
The game against the Red Raiders is slated for 2 p.m., and will be available to stream on ESPN3. The losers of the first two games will play each other Saturday at 2 p.m., and the winners will play the same day at 7 p.m. Sophomore righty Kevin Roy will start the Lions' second game.
