If there is one sure-fire way to get anything you want in life… it is associated with having the cooperation of other people and knowing some psychology of persuasion.
Think about this: Without having the cooperation of others in your life, where would you be at right now? How would you get a job, go on a date, or have friends? People wouldn't respect you or even want to be in your company. It is the cooperation of others that is the underlining factor in a huge aspect of your life and you have to use persuasion to obtain it.
How do you persuade others when you want to get your way? Many people tend to attempt to rationalize with others, however this does not always work. Some people argue their point with others in the attempt to get their way, but this also does not often work. It can actually cause more problems than it solves. So what can you do to get your way and reach your goals?
Learn all about ... The Psychology Of Persuasion!
Smart people who have learned the art of persuasion know that giving the other party something of value in exchange can allow you to obtain their cooperation.
Michael Lee, considered to be an expert persuader, has put together a course titled "How To Be An Expert Persuader.. In 20 Days Or Less" that is definitely worth a look. Even a few looks - It's excellent!
Now, this isn't like most other self improvement courses that are available where you are simply provided with a vast amount of information and have no idea how to use it in practical use. In this course, you will learn easily and because of the fashion that Michael has completed it, you seem to automatically know how to use the excellent information he provides both in the text and audio versions.
The quality of the information provided in this course is incredibly valuable. Michael talks about things that can drastically improve many aspects of your personal and business life such as:
- You get to build trust and get people to cooperate with you
- You get to leave your prospects hanging and hungry for more.
- You get to enter the minds of other people. It's like having the power of mental telepathy!
- You get to use the right words at the right time to stimulate the desired emotions from your target person and for maximum success.
- You get to unconsciously request or command people to do what you want using embedded commands.
And much much more!
Now if you are familiar with self improvement or self help courses then you will know the incredible value that is associated with such information. You will realize that Michael is offering an incredible deal on his course and that learning about psychology of persuasion can increase your lifestyle.
If you easily become frustrated and unsatisfied with your surroundings and with how uneffective your communcation habits are, then deveoping abilities in the skill of persuasion is a great step to take. There is not a better time than now to change your life!

Have you ever thought about the difference between people who enjoy great success in their lives and those who have achieved moderate or little success?
Do "successful people" have significantly greater IQ's? Are Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Barack Obama, or Alan Sugar significantly more intelligent than the majority of other people?
The answer is actually quite simple: No.
Most people who have achieved great financial success or have great respect for their achievements are often no more intelligent than the average person. Their success is attributed to how they use their brains and not necessarily to their actual intelligence.

Almost time for new tires on the tow rig..

I don't wheel with the tow rig, but to get my trailer out of the barn I have to drive on wet grass, a bit of mud, and in the winter over unplowed snow. The stock Chevy 245s struggle whereas the Toyo ATs on my previous truck shrugged it off. This had made me leary of any highway tires, but if you've used them for stuff like that I'd love to hear it.
No doubt there, the only way I'm comparing price is 235/85 vs 285/75 tires. I don't think for my tow rig that 1" bigger tire and lower MPG is worth $50 extra per tire; but if there's a much better tire in that size I may change my decision.
The same tire in Michelins is only about $100 different; so the spread is a bit less than other brands/tires..but as I said above, am I gonna miss something with the 235 vs 285 besides 1" of height?
I had good luck with the Michelin LTX - MS tires as well, on my last dodge. I got rid of the truck at 52k miles, had maybe 1/8th on the rears, 3/16 or so on the front treads. That was a 3/4 ton dodge ext cab 4x4. I ran usually 65psi unloaded, up to 80psi loaded.
Not an all terrain, but were extremely good to me in snow of any sort. Drove that truck several times with 18"-24" on the road, breaking drifts, etc. Much much much better than my current firestones.
I wouldn't go to the 285s. Any OEM rim for 245s on a truck like that I'm betting isn't going to have a nice sidewall profile with the 285s. 235s are nice, I like them. Only downside is they do tend to sink on soft ground.
Too bad people don't make the 255/85s like they used to. Getting to be a vrey rare size.

PETA Goes for the Blubber; Women hit the Roof
Sunday, August 23, 2009 at 2:23 pm — admin
My first encounter with PETA involved a naked woman protesting in Midtown Manhattan. I was on the way to cover a drug convention at the Hilton, if I recall the hotel correctly. I had not given a thought to how one particular drug was derived. That all changed with one naked woman with a cause—the ethic treatment of horses.
Naked women abound in our society. Just check out Times Square or any of the dozens upon dozens of glossy magazine ads that have a prostrate female in masturbatory position, her hand dutifully tucked into the strap of her thong. Sex sells. That is a fact of human nature. Calvin Klein uses it, Victoria Secret uses it. Madison Ave. uses it. But when PETA uses it, women get a bit freaky, even as they do so in their Victoria Secret bras and thongs.
I must say, I am very thankful that one woman was brave enough to get my attention with her body. All her poignant parts were covered as she marched the street that day, but she was a true beauty and men were practically breaking their necks to get a look. Women hissed things like Slut sotto voce as they walked by the partially clad female. I was fascinated. A quick call to PETA and a filed story later, informed me, for the first time, the absolute cruelty to mares that Wythe required from them to produce Premarin.
At the time Premarin—used in hormone replacement therapy—was the largest selling drug in America. Since then production of the drug has dropped off after studies showed deleterious effects of HRT to many women.
But the larger question remains: Shall we torture animals for our supposed good? The mares and the unwanted foals they were continually required to produce were never allowed to have even the resemblance of a kind and decent life. PETA understands human nature very well—to get our attention they must resort to sexy means. (Sexy in the news biz means provocative by any means not just sexual.)
The bottom line for me was the fact that millions of women might have demanded that a more ethical drug be developed if they knew the cruelty involved in Premarin. PETA wanted to get out the message. And they did. They used sex and it worked.
Currently women have become very exercised about another PETA stunt. It is an ad that features an obese woman in cartoon on the beach and says: "SAVE THE WHALES, Loss the Blubber: Go Vegetarian."
Neverumind that a two-thirds of our population is overweight or obese, neverumind that a plurality of studies show that a diet known as Mediterranean -- big on veggies, fruits, whole grains and fish-- has shown to be the path to a healthier, longer more active life. Forget all that: Call a spade a spade and hell hath no fury.
The PETA ad was simply a truth teller: eat right and you will lose the blubber. Sure they have an ulterior motive, but can anyone tell me that motive is vile? No. Their means is suspect, but what is the last ad for the ethical treatment of animals that you can quote?
And folks, believe me, when a person is laid out and sliced open fat IS blubber. All the talk about being happy with our body image translates into being happy with the too many layers of greasy, slimly yellow globs of fat that two-thirds of the populations carry around on their frames. It crowds the heart out of is resting place and makes our massive livers seem like a needle in a haystack. It hardens into slabs of moldered yellow Jam that plug up the lifelines to our brains and organs. It smells rich in an overpowering festering fashion. It looks like a body piped full of sticky pus. Talk of Body Image is just another word for nothing left to loose, to quote a favorite song of mine. Remember, hating fat is very different than hating fat people.
But what I found most perplexing is the animus towards helpless animals this ad inspired in many women: Here is a sampling from our own Blog Her Community:
These comments remind me of Right Wingers who, when confronted on the dangers of global warming talk oh-so proudly about getting that second Hummer, or when animal rights enthusiasts talk about cutting down on factory farming they yell tree-hugger and say they just ordered up some spotted owl for dinner.
What this says to me: insults to our self worth and self esteem are justifiable reasons to act badly. If You make me feel bad about myself, I will hurt a defenseless animal to piss you off.
My advice to PETA, keep up the nutty attention getting stunts. But the best thing you can do? Videos and lots of them about the abuse that is factory farming is. Run abattoir footage commercials at dinner time. Why? Because, as you clearly know, a picture of a contained animal with doleful eyes just doesn't stir us the way an obese women in a bikini does. Down deep we all know why. We care more about our self esteem than animal suffering.

This whole issue is very
This whole issue is very complex. I used to be a PETA member because I find factory farms cruel. And PETA can be very effective.
Yet I am not a vegetarian and I would not advise most people to take on a vegetarian diet for optimal health. I'm more of a Michael Pollen person. I loved Omnivores Dilemma and I love Sally Fallon. Before getting pregnant at the age of 37 I went on a Sally Fallon diet and got pregnant in a few months - it consisted of whole soaked grains and legumes, vegetables, lots of eggs, raw milk cheeses and grass-fed meats. Everything natural. No sugars and no frying!
This is anecdotal but I can't tell you how many vegetarians I know who are struggling to conceive. I also have friends who are vegetarian and live off of those awful processed soy products - soy milk, soy nuggets, Boca burgers. All foods that PETA advocates. Some of these friends are overweight.
I would take a much friendlier approach to those who are overweight than that PETA advertisement. I think the trick is eliminating or greatly reducing processed foods from the diet including sugar. Sugar is poison. And yes, I've been eating too much of it lately;) Also, some women who are overweight are so due to emotional issues. I have four friends who are obese who were sexually assaulted during their youth - date rape, incest, assaulted by a stranger, etc. I think it's cruel to mock these women due to their weight and to be insensitive about their body issues.
And then here's another sticky issue - overpopulation! No one wants to talk about this. Tree huggers and Right Wingers all want to procreate to the level of their liking. But it would be impossible, due to overpopulation, to feed the world on grass-fed meats and organic veggies. Their is not enough nitrate in our soils to naturally feed the world. We need those petroleum-based fertilizers to feed the masses. So the utopia that is presented in Omnivore's Dilemma? It's an impossible dream on the world level.

Hi Alison-- There are two of
Hi Alison--
There are two of us here as editors and we differed on this topic a bit. The writer of this piece has spent a chuck of her life treating the obese and overweight and I think she really feels conflicted: as in how do we make women see fat as the enemy without making them feels less than as persons when they are overweight. She takes a pretty clinical approach as in: get over it.
I am with you on the more friendly approach. And would agree with another reader that a male with a beer belly on the sign would have made this go down a bit more easily. Men don't have the same societal pressures to have perfect bodies. Thanks for your imput. And yes,--processed sugars are so darn bad for us.

I can always count on fresh perspective from this blog and whew, what a perspective on fat! It reminds me that it is a fine dance between positive body image and incremental movements toward acceptance of unhealthy body weights.

I should stick this in FemiLab, but...giving the topic of eating less meat, I think it goes nicely here.
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Older adults in developing countries who regularly eat fish seem to have a lower risk of dementia, a new study suggests.
Researchers found that among nearly 15,000 older adults living in China, India or one of five Latin American countries, the odds of having dementia generally declined as fish consumption rose.

Actually, it would have been great to see a big beer belly male on the cartoon. Men are not under the same pressure to be thin as women, and I don't know why PETA didn't go that way. Probably for the same reason the beer commercials feature skinny pretty women. All the better to get our attention.
I was surprised to see this site's take on the PETA ad, but it does go beyond the knee jerk. I found your remark " hating fat is very different than hating fat people" to be very interesting.
That said, the PETA ad still rankles my medium sized butt.

Excellent point. I usually see the male media hypocrisy but I missed it this time around. There should definitely be a male beer belly version of the ad as well.
Maybe there could be one female and one male "waist bumping" each other with a whale stuck in between their thrusting bellies, water coming out if the whales spout at full force.

"Fat Friends may be Bad for your Health", is the title of a current online Newsweek story that pictures an overweight kid next to a skinny kid.
PETA did nothing more than Newsweek, in my estimation. And I agree that our country's obesity epidemic is a national tragedy.
Not sure about a whale bump, perhaps Homer Simpson would have been good character to use!

It does seem like a great time to take a deep breath and remember why PETA exists.
I see no reason why factory farming should exist. It is torture plain and simple. Making animals suffer for prolonged times is not cool. Saying that because Peta called a fat woman fat is reason to "eat a sandwich made out of the nearest endangered species I can find" is about as uncool as it gets.

Sheezalou you are right! This year has taught me one thing: The liberals are just as mean as conservatives, something I'd never have believed if anyone had tried to tell that to me that a few years ago.

Where to apply vapor barrier(s) for wall insulation
I am getting ready to insulate a wall of my 100yr old home as part of my kitchen remodel. The wall has been torn down to the studs, exposing the exterior sheathing. The wall is made from 2x4 studs.
As of right now, my wall has (from outside to inside) hardiboard siding--1x6 sheathing--old tar paper (dryed out and full of holes).
When I put in the new insulation, should I first apply new tar paper to the sheathing before I put in new insulation? Or will adding a vapor barrier to the sheathing cause problems?
I live in the St. Louis area (hot/humid summers and relatively cold winters).
I plan on using fiberglass batt insulation with the kraft paper backing.
This sounds like a perfect spot for spray foam. Seals all the cracks and holes. Then insulate and vapor barrier over that.
Only bad part is that spray foam is expensive. Also i prefer to use poly instead of or in addition to the kraft backed bats. The purpose of vapor barrier is to keep moisture out of your walls, i dont see how paper can do that, just my opinion.
Do you already have fire blocking at the bottom and tops of the walls?
No Class 1 for your location: http://www.buildingscience.com/docum...commendations/
Fiberglass batts are the worst batt insulation there is, and no real fun to install. Try to get rock wool (Roxul), cellulose, or cotton (both treated w/ borates). As for the vapor barrier, apply it to the waste basket, no the walls. Air seal instead.

MIKE TAYLOR: In the world of 5K athletics, there are cheetahs, wounded gazelles, and then me; the manatee
I was supposed to run a 5k race this past Sunday. Well, not actually the 5k part, and not actually run. I signed up to participate in the one mile walk. After a long winter of beer and burritos even that seemed daunting, but I was determined to do my part to help raise money for the Education Foundation of Greenville.
My best turned out to be showing up late and missing the run entirely. No, that's not entirely true; I showed up with 20 minutes to spare, but spent that whole time looking around for the sign-in booth. By the time the starter's pistol fired, I still hadn't found it.
The Foundation still got my money, so I don't have to feel guilty about it. I'm a little bummed over missing the after-party with friends, but I'll live.
I still had a good time people watching. People watching is one of my favorite sports. If I had my way, Topps would sell bubble gum trading cards with regular people on them; you know — "One-tooth Guy from the County Fair", "Fat Lady with Red Hair and Seven Kids Under Age Five", "ZZ Top Beard Guy" — that sort of thing.
Strolling through the surprisingly large crowd of runners, joggers and walkers, I felt like anthropologist Jane Goodall, stealthily skirting the perimeter of a chimp-filled clearing, observing behavior, making mental notes on primate mores. Except in my opinion, humans make for far more interesting specimens than do chimpanzees. Unlike chimps, we not only talk, we usually refrain from throwing feces at each other (with the possible exception of politicians during election years).
And while all chimps look alike (at least to me and I hope that doesn't make me a species-ist) people are wildly diverse in both appearance and behavior. Nowhere is this more apparent than at the starting line of a 5k run. Observing these differences was made easier by the fact that event organizers had already segregated participants into their component groups. As I walked among them, I began to realize the group to which I had previously assigned myself — the one-mile walkers — was never going to be featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated, no, not even the Swimsuit Issue. In fact, especially not the Swimsuit Issue.
Leading the pack were the serious runners, those who planned to pour 100 percent of their considerable physical prowess into out-running every other runner in attendance. These folks were the amped-up cheetahs of the pack; lean, mean running machines, taut muscle flexing sinuously beneath lightweight running shorts and high-tech T-shirts designed to wick away moisture. Most of them sported sneakers that cost more than my car.
There was a time, long ago, when I might have fit in with this group. Not anymore. Now I felt like an old manatee waddling among young greyhounds.
Next in line were the 5k runners who planned to trot the whole course but didn't really give a hoot where they placed. These were the soccer moms who had recently taken up jogging to lose those extra winter pounds before the arrival of swimsuit season, the ex-high school jocks working a desk job for the past ten years who figured they still had one race left in them, the old guys with one too many Clint Eastwood movies under their belts and the feeling they had something to prove.
Five years ago, this would have been my crowd.
Not anymore. My crowd was farther back from the starting line. Much farther. But we'll get to them soon enough.
Next up were the walkers who planned to do the whole 5k course. Though there were still a few nice sneakers and water-wicking T-shirts in evidence, these folks were for the most part dressed in comfortable street clothes.
They looked reasonably fit, though lacking the muscular definition of runners closer to the starting line. A few were having second thoughts about tackling the whole course, but on the whole they appeared to be a confident, comfortable lot, the neighborly sort who would offer you a frosty front porch beer on a warm summer's evening. I felt at home in their company.
But their company, alas, was not my own. My place was in the back of the pack, with the one-mile walkers. With a few exceptions, this group was comprised of the very young, the moms tending the young, and those — like myself — who are a little older and going soft around the edges. If we were gazelles, the lions would have been trying to separate us from the rest of the pack.
These, I realized, were my people. In the past four decades, I've somehow gone from sleek cheetah to limping gazelle.
But that's OK. I've seen Disney movies. I know about the circle of life and I'm comfortable with my place in it. I don't have to be the fastest or the fittest; all I've got to do is make sure there's at least one limping gazelle behind me. Keeping the lions company.

MENLO PARK, California — Each month, Facebook puts up advertisements for new coding projects on its internal network. They're called Hack-a-Month-Projects. The idea is simple. Engineering staff can try working on new problems, and if they end up liking what they're doing, they get to switch teams.
It's a way of keeping Facebook's hackers challenged, but lately, something's been happening there that makes Najam Ahmad extremely happy. He's the director of Facebook's network engineering team — one of the people here who is working to change the DNA of the world's computer networks. Over the past year, he says, folks from Facebook's software group have been signing up for network engineering jobs.
That's remarkable because traditionally, network engineers are a breed apart. They master obscure protocols and the command line interfaces to Cisco and Juniper machines, but they don't typically hack the underlying software that powers these machines. Cisco's switches ship with an operating system called Cisco IOS. It's closed source, and the only people who get to hack it work for Cisco.
But now Ahmad and others have been working to build a new breed of switches and routers — ones that will be hackable much like today's servers. "To me, this project is the start of something really, really big," says Ahmad.
Though the project was hatched only six months ago, you can already buy these routers from hardware makers such as Quanta and Accton, based on designs from Intel. On Monday, Broadcom, and Mellanox Technologies said that they too have completed their first designs. Facebook is testing all of these open source switches in its labs, and the company expects to deploy some version of them when its new Altoona, Iowa data center goes live in about a year's time. Eventually, all of Facebook will be running this type of gear if Ahmad gets his way.
This will give Facebook new flexibility to hack the software that runs its networks. But more than that, it will also demystify networking gear so that people can really understand what's going on inside their data centers. Frank Frankovsky — the Facebook executive who oversees his company's efforts to build open source servers and storage designs as well — says that while only six months old, the Open Compute Project's networking designs have already attracted more contributors than they initially expected — more than 30 at last count. "People have underestimated how curious people are," he says. "They want to take [a switch] apart and put it back together in a customized way."
This kind of customization has typically been at odds with big companies like Cisco and Juniper. For them, customization cuts into the bottom line. It costs more to build, document and support these types of products.
But if more companies see the benefits from having low-cost, hackable devices running their networks, then Cisco and Juniper could be facing the same kind of shake-up that hit old-school Unix companies such as Sun Microsystems and DEC, when cheap Linux boxes destroyed their high-margin businesses.
"What's unique here is that you could put any OS here," says JR Rivers, who spent more than a decade at Cisco before founding Cumulus Networks, a startup that's making software for the new Open Compute networking gear. "Traditional, very focused networking companies make phenomenal amounts of their profit off of repackaging hardware that doesn't have to cost as much as it does."Go Back to Top.

My other thread, the little one died.. I woke up to it dead, i was planning on bringing it to the vet that morning but i was too late.. http://www.dogforums.com/dog-health-...tml#post974865 (My 6 week old puppy looks sick, how can i help her?)
when the puppy died, i called around asking if they could find the cause of her death because i want to know how it died, it lasted 6 weeks even though it was small and i was concerned about the other 4 puppies, but it cost too much so i couldn't do it..
the mom stopped giving milk around 1 or 2 weeks ago, it just isn't producing milk so i bought formula milk, i even bough the formula powder. the 4 puppies stay in a box with blankets and such and they walk around my room. the 3 puppies seem playful, there poo is okay they play and eat normally. The other puppy eats normally too, it bites the other puppies sometimes but my concern is how it walks weird like its crazy or something. im just concerned i don't want the other ones to die, that's the only symptom right now that im seeing. she hasn't vommited or anything. i hope whatever killed the little one doesn't go to the other puppies.

[And mention] when the angels said, "O Mary, indeed Allah gives you good tidings of a word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary - distinguished in this world and the Hereafter and among those brought near [to Allah]. (45)
He will speak to the people in the cradle and in maturity and will be of the righteous." (46) She said, "My Lord, how will I have a child when no man has touched me?" [The angel] said, "Such is Allah; He creates what He wills. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, 'Be,' and it is. (47) And He will teach him writing and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel (48) And [make him] a messenger to the Children of Israel, [who will say], 'Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay [that which is] like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of Allah. And I cure the blind and the leper, and I give life to the dead - by permission of Allah. And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers. (49) And [I have come] confirming what was before me of the Torah and to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you. And I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear Allah and obey me. (50) Indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is the straight path." (51) But when Jesus felt [persistence in] disbelief from them, he said, "Who are my supporters for [the cause of] Allah?" The disciples said, "We are supporters for Allah. We have believed in Allah and testify that we are Muslims [submitting to Him]. (52)
Our Lord, we have believed in what You revealed and have followed the messenger Jesus, so register us among the witnesses [to truth]." (53) And the disbelievers planned, but Allah planned. And Allah is the best of planners. (54) [Mention] when Allah said, "O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you [in submission to Allah alone] superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return, and I will judge between you concerning that in which you used to differ. (55) And as for those who disbelieved, I will punish them with a severe punishment in this world and the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers." (56) But as for those who believed and did righteous deeds, He will give them in full their rewards, and Allah does not like the wrongdoers. (57) This is what We recite to you, [O Muhammad], of [Our] verses and the precise [and wise] message. (58) Indeed, the example of Jesus to Allah is like that of Adam. He created Him from dust; then He said to him, "Be," and he was. (59) The truth is from your Lord, so do not be among the doubters. (60) Then whoever argues with you about it after [this] knowledge has come to you - say, "Come, let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves, then supplicate earnestly [together] and invoke the curse of Allah upon the liars [among us]." (61)
Indeed, this is the true narration. And there is no deity except Allah. And indeed, Allah is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. (62) But if they turn away, then indeed - Allah is Knowing of the corrupters. (63) Say, "O People of the Scripture, come to a word that is equitable between us and you - that we will not worship except Allah and not associate anything with Him and not take one another as lords instead of Allah." But if they turn away, then say, "Bear witness that we are Muslims [submitting to Him]." (64) O People of the Scripture, why do you argue about Abraham while the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Then will you not reason? (65) Here you are - those who have argued about that of which you have [some] knowledge, but why do you argue about that of which you have no knowledge? And Allah knows, while you know not. (66) Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim [submitting to Allah]. And he was not of the polytheists. (67) Indeed, the most worthy of Abraham among the people are those who followed him [in submission to Allah] and this prophet, and those who believe [in his message]. And Allah is the ally of the believers. (68) A faction of the people of the Scripture wish they could mislead you. But they do not mislead except themselves, and they perceive [it] not. (69) O People of the Scripture, why do you disbelieve in the verses of Allah while you witness [to their truth]? (70)
O People of the Scripture, why do you confuse the truth with falsehood and conceal the truth while you know [it]? (71) And a faction of the People of the Scripture say [to each other], "Believe in that which was revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day and reject it at its end that perhaps they will abandon their religion, (72) And do not trust except those who follow your religion." Say, "Indeed, the [true] guidance is the guidance of Allah. [Do you fear] lest someone be given [knowledge] like you were given or that they would [thereby] argue with you before your Lord?" Say, "Indeed, [all] bounty is in the hand of Allah - He grants it to whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Wise." (73) He selects for His mercy whom He wills. And Allah is the possessor of great bounty. (74) And among the People of the Scripture is he who, if you entrust him with a great amount [of wealth], he will return it to you. And among them is he who, if you entrust him with a [single] silver coin, he will not return it to you unless you are constantly standing over him [demanding it]. That is because they say, "There is no blame upon us concerning the unlearned." And they speak untruth about Allah while they know [it]. (75) But yes, whoever fulfills his commitment and fears Allah - then indeed, Allah loves those who fear Him. (76) Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their [own] oaths for a small price will have no share in the Hereafter, and Allah will not speak to them or look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them; and they will have a painful punishment. (77)
And indeed, there is among them a party who alter the Scripture with their tongues so you may think it is from the Scripture, but it is not from the Scripture. And they say, "This is from Allah," but it is not from Allah. And they speak untruth about Allah while they know. (78) It is not for a human [prophet] that Allah should give him the Scripture and authority and prophethood and then he would say to the people, "Be servants to me rather than Allah," but [instead, he would say], "Be pious scholars of the Lord because of what you have taught of the Scripture and because of what you have studied." (79) Nor could he order you to take the angels and prophets as lords. Would he order you to disbelief after you had been Muslims? (80) And [recall, O People of the Scripture], when Allah took the covenant of the prophets, [saying], "Whatever I give you of the Scripture and wisdom and then there comes to you a messenger confirming what is with you, you [must] believe in him and support him." [Allah] said, "Have you acknowledged and taken upon that My commitment?" They said, "We have acknowledged it." He said, "Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses." (81) And whoever turned away after that - they were the defiantly disobedient. (82) So is it other than the religion of Allah they desire, while to Him have submitted [all] those within the heavens and earth, willingly or by compulsion, and to Him they will be returned? (83)
Say, "We have believed in Allah and in what was revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Descendants, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus and to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [submitting] to Him." (84) And whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers. (85) How shall Allah guide a people who disbelieved after their belief and had witnessed that the Messenger is true and clear signs had come to them? And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people. (86) Those - their recompense will be that upon them is the curse of Allah and the angels and the people, all together, (87) Abiding eternally therein. The punishment will not be lightened for them, nor will they be reprieved. (88) Except for those who repent after that and correct themselves. For indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. (89) Indeed, those who reject the message after their belief and then increase in disbelief - never will their [claimed] repentance be accepted, and they are the ones astray. (90) Indeed, those who disbelieve and die while they are disbelievers - never would the [whole] capacity of the earth in gold be accepted from one of them if he would [seek to] ransom himself with it. For those there will be a painful punishment, and they will have no helpers. (91)
Never will you attain the good [reward] until you spend [in the way of Allah] from that which you love. And whatever you spend - indeed, Allah is Knowing of it. (92) All food was lawful to the Children of Israel except what Israel had made unlawful to himself before the Torah was revealed. Say, [O Muhammad], "So bring the Torah and recite it, if you should be truthful." (93) And whoever invents about Allah untruth after that - then those are [truly] the wrongdoers. (94) Say, "Allah has told the truth. So follow the religion of Abraham, inclining toward truth; and he was not of the polytheists." (95) Indeed, the first House [of worship] established for mankind was that at Makkah - blessed and a guidance for the worlds. (96) In it are clear signs [such as] the standing place of Abraham. And whoever enters it shall be safe. And [due] to Allah from the people is a pilgrimage to the House - for whoever is able to find thereto a way. But whoever disbelieves - then indeed, Allah is free from need of the worlds. (97) Say, "O People of the Scripture, why do you disbelieve in the verses of Allah while Allah is Witness over what you do?" (98) Say, "O People of the Scripture, why do you avert from the way of Allah those who believe, seeking to make it [seem] deviant, while you are witnesses [to the truth]? And Allah is not unaware of what you do." (99) O you who have believed, if you obey a party of those who were given the Scripture, they would turn you back, after your belief, [to being] unbelievers. (100)
And how could you disbelieve while to you are being recited the verses of Allah and among you is His Messenger? And whoever holds firmly to Allah has [indeed] been guided to a straight path. (101) O you who have believed, fear Allah as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to Him]. (102) And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided. And remember the favor of Allah upon you - when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favor, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of the Fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does Allah make clear to you His verses that you may be guided. (103) And let there be [arising] from you a nation inviting to [all that is] good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong, and those will be the successful. (104) And do not be like the ones who became divided and differed after the clear proofs had come to them. And those will have a great punishment. (105) On the Day [some] faces will turn white and [some] faces will turn black. As for those whose faces turn black, [to them it will be said], "Did you disbelieve after your belief? Then taste the punishment for what you used to reject." (106) But as for those whose faces will turn white, [they will be] within the mercy of Allah. They will abide therein eternally. (107) These are the verses of Allah. We recite them to you, [O Muhammad], in truth; and Allah wants no injustice to the worlds. (108)
To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And to Allah will [all] matters be returned. (109) You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind. You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allah. If only the People of the Scripture had believed, it would have been better for them. Among them are believers, but most of them are defiantly disobedient. (110) They will not harm you except for [some] annoyance. And if they fight you, they will show you their backs; then they will not be aided. (111) They have been put under humiliation [by Allah] wherever they are overtaken, except for a covenant from Allah and a rope from the Muslims. And they have drawn upon themselves anger from Allah and have been put under destitution. That is because they disbelieved in the verses of Allah and killed the prophets without right. That is because they disobeyed and [habitually] transgressed. (112) They are not [all] the same; among the People of the Scripture is a community standing [in obedience], reciting the verses of Allah during periods of the night and prostrating [in prayer]. (113) They believe in Allah and the Last Day, and they enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and hasten to good deeds. And those are among the righteous. (114) And whatever good they do - never will it be removed from them. And Allah is Knowing of the righteous. (115)
Indeed, those who disbelieve - never will their wealth or their children avail them against Allah at all, and those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally. (116) The example of what they spend in this worldly life is like that of a wind containing frost which strikes the harvest of a people who have wronged themselves and destroys it. And Allah has not wronged them, but they wrong themselves. (117) O you who have believed, do not take as intimates those other than yourselves, for they will not spare you [any] ruin. They wish you would have hardship. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater. We have certainly made clear to you the signs, if you will use reason. (118) Here you are loving them but they are not loving you, while you believe in the Scripture - all of it. And when they meet you, they say, "We believe." But when they are alone, they bite their fingertips at you in rage. Say, "Die in your rage. Indeed, Allah is Knowing of that within the breasts." (119) If good touches you, it distresses them; but if harm strikes you, they rejoice at it. And if you are patient and fear Allah, their plot will not harm you at all. Indeed, Allah is encompassing of what they do. (120) And [remember] when you, [O Muhammad], left your family in the morning to post the believers at their stations for the battle [of Uhud] - and Allah is Hearing and Knowing - (121)
When two parties among you were about to lose courage, but Allah was their ally; and upon Allah the believers should rely. (122) And already had Allah given you victory at [the battle of] Badr while you were few in number. Then fear Allah; perhaps you will be grateful. (123) [Remember] when you said to the believers, "Is it not sufficient for you that your Lord should reinforce you with three thousand angels sent down? (124) Yes, if you remain patient and conscious of Allah and the enemy come upon you [attacking] in rage, your Lord will reinforce you with five thousand angels having marks [of distinction] (125) And Allah made it not except as [a sign of] good tidings for you and to reassure your hearts thereby. And victory is not except from Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Wise - (126) That He might cut down a section of the disbelievers or suppress them so that they turn back disappointed. (127) Not for you, [O Muhammad, but for Allah], is the decision whether He should [cut them down] or forgive them or punish them, for indeed, they are wrongdoers. (128) And to Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. He forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. (129) O you who have believed, do not consume usury, doubled and multiplied, but fear Allah that you may be successful. (130) And fear the Fire, which has been prepared for the disbelievers. (131) And obey Allah and the Messenger that you may obtain mercy. (132)
And hasten to forgiveness from your Lord and a garden as wide as the heavens and earth, prepared for the righteous (133) Who spend [in the cause of Allah] during ease and hardship and who restrain anger and who pardon the people - and Allah loves the doers of good; (134) And those who, when they commit an immorality or wrong themselves [by transgression], remember Allah and seek forgiveness for their sins - and who can forgive sins except Allah? - and [who] do not persist in what they have done while they know. (135) Those - their reward is forgiveness from their Lord and gardens beneath which rivers flow [in Paradise], wherein they will abide eternally; and excellent is the reward of the [righteous] workers. (136) Similar situations [as yours] have passed on before you, so proceed throughout the earth and observe how was the end of those who denied. (137) This [Qur'an] is a clear statement to [all] the people and a guidance and instruction for those conscious of Allah. (138) So do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are [true] believers. (139)

Romney's Clintonesque Moment
Posted on May 16, 2012
Mitt Romney was against Bill Clinton before he was for him.
Square, Story page, 2nd paragraph, mobile
"Almost a generation ago, Bill Clinton announced that the era of big government was over," Romney declared. "Clinton was signaling to his own party that Democrats should no longer try to govern by proposing a new program for every problem." President Obama, he said, "tucked away the Clinton doctrine in his large drawer of discarded ideas."
So you might assume that Romney likes Clinton. But that would be wrong. Scrambling during the GOP primaries this year to explain why he had voted in the 1992 Massachusetts Democratic presidential primary for the late Sen. Paul Tsongas, Romney invoked that old GOP standby: Clinton hatred.
"In my state of Massachusetts, you could register as an independent and go vote in [whichever] primary happens to be very interesting," Romney averred. "And any chance I got to vote against Bill Clinton or Ted Kennedy, I took."

There is more here than casual flip-flopping. Romney says that he likes Clinton's view of government better than Obama's. And it's true that government's share of the economy grew under Obama because he inherited a downturn and baby boomers got older.
But what about taxes? According to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, government receipts as a share of gross domestic product rose from 17.5 percent in 1992, the year Clinton was elected, to 20.6 percent in 2000, his last full year in office. By contrast, government receipts as a share of GDP were just 15.4 percent in 2011. Which numbers make Romney happier?
The top income tax rate under Clinton, for incomes over $250,000, was 39.6 percent. Obama wants to go back to the Clinton rate. Romney wants to cut the top rate from its current 35 percent to 28 percent. Who is Clinton's real heir?
And Obama would not restore all of the Clinton tax rates. He wants to raise only the top one. In principle, Obama favors lower taxes on middle-income Americans than Clinton did. By this measure, Obama is less "pro-government" than Clinton.
You can make the same case on health care. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that Obama signed in 2010 is less adventurous and less government-oriented than the health plan Clinton proposed in the early 1990s. Obama's law is based on many Republican ideas, including the individual mandate that Romney supported when he was governor of Massachusetts. Clinton, to the consternation of conservatives, was for a mandate on businesses.
It's revealing that Romney made his pro-Clinton comments on the same day that—speaking to reporters as elevator doors were closing on him—former President George W. Bush announced, "I'm for Mitt Romney." Funny that Romney made a bigger deal about Clinton than about that Bush endorsement. Yet Republicans, including Romney and Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, categorically reject the lessons that Clinton taught.
When Clinton raised the top tax rate, without a single Republican vote, supply-side conservatives howled that asking a little more from the wealthy would tank the economy. It did nothing of the sort. After Clinton's tax increase, the economy roared, deficits turned into surpluses and the empathetic guy from Arkansas, despite certain well-known difficulties, earned the long-term affection of the American people. On the other hand, polls show that the second President Bush, who pursued policies Republicans are proposing more of now, is remembered less fondly. Romney would prefer to leave Bush behind the elevator doors.
For the rest of this campaign, count on Republicans to tout Clinton as more pro-business than Obama and to do all they can to separate our current president from the best parts of Clinton's legacy. Yes, many business folks who initially resented Clinton's tax increases came to appreciate the economic boom that followed. But whose approach to government, budgets and taxes more closely resembles Clinton's? Here's a hint: It's not the guy who went out of his way to vote against Clinton in 1992.

Re: Colored ListPlot
Here's one possibility. If I can assume that the zi's are numbers
between 0 and 1, such as in
data= Table[{Random[], Random[], Random[]}, {100}];
then this will do the trick:
colorfn = Hue;
{colorfn[#[[3]]], PointSize[.01], Point[{#[[1]],#[[2]]}]}]&/@ data,
Axes -> True]
If the zi's need to be scaled, then you can do something like this:
colorfn = Hue[.67#]&;
With[{ m = {Min[#],Max[#]}&@vals },
{colorfn[#[[3]]], PointSize[.01], Point[{#[[1]],#[[2]]}]}]& /@
(data /. {x_,y_,z_} -> {x, y, (z-m[[1]])/(m[[2]]-m[[1]])}),
Axes -> True]]
