How Many Light Bulbs Does It Take To Screw In A Pakistani Inmate?
Filed Under Doug Powers | Leave a Comment
From the "you know it's going to be a bad day when…" department:
Fateh Mohammad, a prison inmate in Pakistan, says he woke up last weekend with a glass light bulb in his anus.
On Wednesday night, doctors brought Mohammad's misery to an end after a one-and-a-half hour operation to remove the object.
Don't you hate when that happens?
How will prison officials be able to tell who did it? If they're smart, at midnight, they'll turn on all cell lights. In the darkened cell is the culprit — there's also a good chance that Fateh's ass lights up, too.

Lakeview Health Powers Up the valley
The PowerUp kickoff event at Somerset High School on Aug. 23 was a good start to the movement, said Rick Robbins, marketing director for Lakeview Health System, which put on the event. Robbins said he was pleased with the turnout, and while the PowerUp initiative is focused in the Stillwater, Minn. and Somerset School District, the movement is not exclusive to those two locations.
"Any community is open or available to either take Yum Power from HealthPartners or PowerUp from Lakeview Health," Robbins said, "because we're all in this to focus on the kids."
"We're really just talking about inviting people in to, what we call PowerUp, wherever you are," said Marna Canterbury, community health and wellness director for the Lakeview Foundation, "dinner table, board room, back yard, schools, wherever you have influence and feel motivated to do something, we're here to be your partner and help."
PowerUp is an initiative started by Lakeview Health Systems, which owns Stillwater Medical Group, in an effort to help children create healthy habits early in life. Getting kids into the habit of eating healthily and being active is PowerUp's goal.
Jill Lindell works for New Richmond Head Start and said it is gratifying to see a program like PowerUp promoting the same things Head Start has been promoting for years.
"I've been working with children and families for over 35 years now, so I can see that a lot of it is helping," Lindell said.
Lindell said she thinks getting children in the habit of eating well and being active at a young age, as PowerUp aims to do, is important because of the level of brain development children under 5 have.
"If we don't let those little brains absorb all this at that early age," Lindell said, "then in a lot of ways, we've lost a lot of it."
Lindell said getting children in the habit of eating healthy foods and being active at a young age sets them up for continued healthy behavior throughout their lives. This is backed up by Lakeview Foundation members, including Pediatrician Brian Cress.
"Every day I see kids who are worried about their weight, about their weight gain, what they're eating," Cress said.
He said instilling healthy habits in children helps keep kids from becoming obese and having weight-related health problems. One way parents can help is by modeling healthy behavior for their children, Cress added.
"The kids are looking up to us to make those choices," Cress said. But of course, the first time a child tastes a healthy food, they may not enjoy it. Cress said getting kids to try things they've never tried is a challenge. He said in his home, he uses a one bite rule, he asks his kids to try at least one bit of any new food. Cress said he recommends the "one bite rule" to parents a lot.
"That was something that was really helpful for us," said Cress.
Getting kids to try healthy foods was something Canterbury also stressed.
"It's OK to serve kids food that they turn their nose up at first," Canterbury said. "That's our job. You don't have to feel guilty about it, and you don't have to short order cook."
In order to help adults deal with that problem, Canterbury said PowerUp offers healthy recipes that are tasty too. Karl Benson, of Cooks of Crocus Hill, presented a cooking demonstration at the PowerUp kickoff event of one recipe. Benson made a healthy snack wrap made from whole wheat pita bread, and put into it chicken, greek yogurt, mayonnaise and vegetables. Benson recommended this snack over quicker, but less healthy items like chips.
"In this day and age, we as parents believe if it's not packaged in individually-sized containers, then it doesn't qualify as a snack," Benson said.
Instead of grabbing individually-packaged snacks, Benson recommends parents make their children healthy snacks like the snack wrap.
"Be curious," Benson said. "Grab that pita thing. Make it at home. Make double."
Benson also encouraged adults to let children be involved in making their healthy snacks.
"It's a beautiful thing if you have to arm-wrestle the spatula out of your kids' mouths when they're mixing their healthy snack," Benson said.

Just Add Water, is joining the free game library offered to PlayStation Plus subscribers.
Munch's Oddysee, which also features gangly escapee Abe as a playable protagonist, is considered the second chapter in the ever-lingering "Oddworld Quintology." The 3D action/puzzle game nearly started on the PlayStation 2, but it debuted as an exclusive Xbox 1 (not "One") launch game in 2001 and later made its way to PC.
Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee HD should be available for free after Tuesday's PlayStation Store update. The recent Star Trek game will be on sale right alongside it, which makes sense because ...
A) it also endorses cooperation between species
B) it also has two handsome protagonists
C) it's also about an odyssey, but spelled correctly

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My friend was vising me at a hotel in the Atlanta area and was in the elevator and it drop 3 stories. He didn't know at the time he was dropping until he got to the bottom. He was taken to a near by hospital and have swellen on his spine, have take MRI, CAT scan etc. Can he sue the Hotel?
Your friend should contact a personal injury attorney to provide information about the facts of his case. It is likely the attorney will want to know (among other facts) (1) if the hotel made an internal accident report, (2) if the hotel conducted an investigation, and (3) the extent of his injuries. After he provides all the information regarding the incident, the attorney will tell him if he has a claim against the hotel and/or other responsible people.
Your friend should interview several attorneys and select the attorney who fits his needs and comfort level.Ask a similar question
Most likely your friend does have a claim against the hotel (and potentially others) for his injuries. He needs to speak with an experienced Georgia personal injury lawyer who can evaluate his case and help him determine the best course of action.
It is unclear when the accident occurred, but your friend needs to know that he has 2 years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. If the accident happened very recently, the full extent of his injuries and what treatments he will need in the future may not be known. An experienced injury attorney can help him obtain the compensation he is entitled to for his injuries, including any future medical needs.
I sincerely hope your friend makes a complete recovery.
Best of luck to you both.

I am very sorry to hear about your friend and hope he is doing better. Your friend may have a claim for damages. The claim surrounds the hotel's ownership, maintenance, and operation of the elevator. The good thing is owners of elevators and escalators have a higher duty to maintain them and keep them safe. I agree with the other attorneys who have responded that your friend would benefit from the advice and counsel of an experienced attorney who can more thoroughly and appropriately determine the appropriate course of action. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at any time.Ask a similar question

Feeling light and comfortable!
It's very comfortable to wear. It catches stains quickly, but can be easily washed off with either machine wash or hand wash. Its a very quick dry material.
Comfortable and nice fit
The quality is very impressive but these are tight from thighs hence restrict the motion of legs. I wore them for a trek and regret buying them for entire day. Everytime I had a to climb a rock I felt discomfort.
Hello Bhoumik,
Thank you for your feedback on the Forclaz 50 Hiking Trouser. I am glad that you liked the quality of the trouser. Hiking trousers are designed by keeping in mind that the user needs free of movement and support. I apologise for the unpleasant experience you had during your hike. There could have been a manufacturing defect with the one you have received. I would request you to visit any of our stores to try a bigger size or exchange it with a different product.
I am available at your disposal for any further queries.

The material and the fit are very nice. I wish to buy more of them but don't want all of them to be of the same color. They just come in dark and light grey.
Request to decathlon to produce them in other colors.

Hello Prateik,
Thanks for your feedback on the Forclaz 50 hiking trousers. I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.
It would be great if you could explain me your usage as these pants have proved good on regular mountain hikes and we can try to understand what has caused the issue on the piece you have, then we can provide you a solution at the earliest.
I stay available if you have any queries.

Bad quality with poor stitching
Quality is not up to the mark and it won't fits pr
Hi Chethan,
Thank you for your feedback on the Forclaz 50 hiking trousers.
May I ask you to specify your concern with the quality?
All Quechua products come with a minimum warranty of 2 years on manufacturing faults and defects.
Therefore you can take the trousers to the nearest Decathlon store and get an exchange if the product is defective.
However, Quechua is a hiking brand and the warranty voids if products are used for any other purpose.
Please let me know if you have any other queries.
Ravindra Charan
Product Trainer & Community Manager-Mountain Sports
Ideal pants to have when hiking as it is light, compact and dries fast. Additional perks are the pockets. My only complaint, if at all was that a similar product was not available in the women's department but the men's small size suited my need well enough.
Quick dry and extremely compact

Great! I was looking forwards to this add-on. Latest version (still in sandbox at this time) works just fine. Moreover it's always a satisfaction to see a failure be flipped to a success. Nice work!This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.0.1.1-signed.1-signed).
Doesn't work here ... Rated 3 out of 5 stars
Couldn't get it to appear on about:newtab. Firefox is 16.01 under XP-SP3.
Cannot rate 1 because of parameters, cannot rate 5 because of failure.
EDIT for version 0.0.2 in sandbox : still doesn't work. Also, there ere no default colors as stated here above in the presentation pics, Only #HEXVALUHERE (if that may have any link, not as a problem by itself of course)
I'm insisting because I'm looking forwards to using this add-on...
Thanks! I'll try to fix this. Right now it just says "#HEXHERE" if the user has not set the preferences. Try putting "#000000" for the background colour field and "#FFFFFF" for the text colour field, saving it, and then pressing OK.
Edit for version 0.0.5 & 0.1.0: It should be fixed; I had previously put the "defaults" folder in the wrong place...

Reserved our 1 night stay at the last minute on Hotwire.com. Being a native of this area originally, I know this used to be a very nice place to stay. Well, that was 30 years ago, and I think that's how old most the furnishings in the room are. Haha. We paid $71 plus tax, well not bad I guess, but bring extra pillows, and some soap for the shower because you just get the one so make up your mind, wash your hands after the restroom, or use it to wash your...you know, in the shower? How much can 2 bars cost? The rooms really need updating, and the chair and ottoman have seen better days. I immediately toss the bedspread on the floor. After watching Hotels Impossible, I wont even put my dirty feet on it. The TV was still a big boxy one, i thought those were extinct? It looks tiny in the huge cabinet. Oh, and there was a tiny refrigerator inside of the door of the cabinet. Couldnt use the freezer section because it had tons of frost on it. It wasn't a spectacular room, but it was ok. They didn't put us on the busy street side of the hotel so that was nice. I actually think we were about the only ones in our wing, so pretty quiet. But then it was only a Wednesday night. The weekends get noisy because of wedding parties and receptions hosted here.

Static Control Releases Statement Regarding Recent General Exclusion Order
SANFORD, N.C. – (July 25, 2013) – On June 28, 2013, the United States International Trade Commission issued a General Exclusion Order (GEO) prohibiting the importation of products that infringe two U.S. patents belonging to Canon®, numbers '803 and '454, which cover the design of the gears used on the OPC drums in hundreds of Canon and HP® cartridge SKUs. The GEO concludes various legal actions which began in January 2012 against more than 30 manufacturers, importers and distributors of toner cartridges and OPC drums and ushers in a new phase of enforcement.
Static Control recognized the potential threat of patent infringement and successfully developed a unique, fully functional gear designed to eliminate any risk of infringing Canon's gear patents. We filed for patents in 2007 and two U.S. patents for non-twisted gears were issued to Static Control in October 2010 and December 2011. OurZeroTwist™ Gears were the first-to-market solution for remanufacturers and are stillthe only solution protectedby multiple U.S. patents.
As we have stated for more than 18 months, our gears are safe and will not be impacted by the GEO. We take all patents extremely serious and respect the intellectual property of the OEMs through the development, engineering and manufacturing process.

Guest Post: Dancing On Pinheads by Colby Hess
Many people have at some point heard, or are at least vaguely familiar with the question, "How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?" – a reference to the pointless theological debates that consumed much of European academia during the latter half of the Middle Ages. Although it turns out this particular phrasing was most likely never actually discussed (not appearing in print until hundreds of years later as a retroactive jab at Thomas Aquinas and his "scholastic" brand of philosophy) it continues to serve as a handy metaphor for any dubious intellectual endeavor lacking in apparent practical value and without any foreseeable means of resolution.
Questions of this sort, while no longer at the forefront of serious scholarly inquiry, haven't completely subsided in the modern age, especially in the United States where we have the unusual distinction of being by far the most religious of any advanced, industrial nation. As the so-called "culture wars" rage on unabated in the run-up to the 2012 presidential election (with back and forth volleys ranging from Rick Santorum's failed candidacy to President Obama's recent declaration of support for gay marriage), the subject of religious belief and its role in American politics has been pushed to the forefront of national discourse, and with it has come a revival of interest in a wide range of formerly obscure ideas relating to God and his role in the universe.
Most visible and controversial among these various heretical doctrines to emerge, and standing in direct opposition to the mainstream Christian beliefs still held by a majority of the populace, is the moral and philosophical position that God is completely imaginary; that he is nothing but a vestige of primitive ignorance and confusion about the workings of nature, and that it is therefore up to humans alone to determine what is best for our species. Rooted in science and fueled in large part by a perceived religious overreach in all manner of secular concerns, this passionate and vocal "new" atheism has burst onto the scene over the past decade – a rapid resurgence of a phenomenon that had gone virtually unnoticed in the U.S. since the days of Robert Green Ingersoll and the "Golden Age of Freethought" at the close of the nineteenth century.

Friendly Response To A Christian Apologist
Last week I wrote "So You Want to Misrepresent Atheism?" as a response to a Christian apologist who wrote "So You Want to Be an Atheist Apologist." Although I rarely respond to a comment with a lengthy post, I thought my retort was too long and involved to simply reply in the comment section. Also—to be honest—I don't mind the dialogue.
The following block quote is the response from the original author after I posted a link to my response essay on his site.
Thanks for your interest in my post. It was not meant as an attack on atheism or a misrepresentation of atheism. On one hand, it comes from my own experience as an atheism twenty years ago or so. I was that passive atheists who did not care if other people were religious. I know find myself confused as to why atheists spend so much time attacking religion.
On the other hand, some of the things found in this post come from my own recent interactions with atheists. You asked for references to some of what I said, while I do not have the books with me right now, they did come from reading Hitchens and Dawkins. Things like dismissing the Bible, come from conversations I have had. A historian will look at the Bible, not as an inspired text but as a historical document similar to other texts of the time, with strengths and weaknesses. Some of the atheists I have spoken to have dismissed this and have said the religious status the Bible has removes it from the discussion. I hope you do not take that position.
By the way, I am planning a similar post on Christian apologists as well. I believe sarcasm should be shared with everyone.
Stephen Bedard
My response (posted here and on his site):
Thank you for taking the time to read my post and respond. I would like to begin by stating that if it was indeed a sarcastic piece (which in theory I could appreciate); in my opinion the sarcasm needs to come from a place of truth and not simply mocking outliers and fallacies. Of course the outliers are free game, but they should not be used to represent the whole. For example, I would never use the Westboro Baptist Church as an example of all Christians in a critique or comedic post. Not only would that be misrepresentative it would just not be funny because the reader knows it not to be true. As with any group, there is plenty of stuff to make fun of atheists for; however the examples in your post were too specific to a small minority that were used to represent the entire group, or they were simply fallacies that theists employ against atheists all the time (i.e. the "morality" dig). I honestly and truly do not care if atheists are made fun of, satirized or mocked. Such is your right and I would be a hypocrite to say otherwise. Have at it, man! I might even laugh if it's done well. I just thought that your post fell into the trap of fallacies that theists repeatedly use against atheists instead of looking at atheism and actually teasing out something new and insightful. In short, we've heard it before and much of it is wrong.
If you really are writing one about Christians I would give you the same exact advice.
Secondly, I will respond to the two points in your comment: 1) atheists attacking religion, and 2) the historicity of the Bible.
"Why do atheists attack religion?" We hear this so often it becomes a cliché. "Why do atheists spend so much of their time thinking and talking about something that they do not believe exists?" Usually there is a second part to that where it is assumed that we're just "angry at god", we still "really believe", etc. I too was once but a simple nonbeliever waffling between agnosticism (or what I erroneously thought what 'agnosticism' was) and atheism (the 'passive' kind). I cared not what others thought about god. I just thought they were wrong, but no big deal. It was a carefree life devoid of having to think too hard about some of the bigger questions of human existence and how the "answers" people came to influence their actions in the real world.
As I said in my response to your post; what happened was that I and many others have come to the realization that passive atheism is a liability. There are too many dangerous results of religious belief. Now, before you balk, let me say that of course not all religious belief and religious people are inherently dangerous. That is obviously untrue.
The era we live in, and I'm you see it too and can agree, is one of ideological strife. Everyone is clamoring to ensure that their views are heard and respected. That is fine. There are others, however, that do not simply want their beliefs to be heard. They want their beliefs to be obeyed. Their beliefs require them to not simply voice their opinion. Their belief requires everyone to submit to their opinion. Or else! I will not bother to list all of the religious instances of this (there are also political instances, of course) as the list is too long and would only be tedious. I am sure you can think of many examples as to what I am referring to. It is, after all, everywhere.
Here in the U.S. it is not simply a disagreement on how to run the country it has become a disagreement on how to run our lives. Again, leaving the strictly political ideologues out of this (of which I am skeptical); there is a powerful network of religious groups that want nothing more than to instill their religious worldview on the rest of us. This takes the form of institutionalized homophobia, institutionalized misogyny, institutionalized religious intolerance, institutionalized morality, etc. One may not agree with how another conducts their life but that doesn't give anyone the right to tell others how to live their lives. Ever. These people are dangerous to the individual, society, the country and the world. In America, I am not talking about fundamentalist Muslims. I am talking about fundamentalist Christians. They work for Dominion over all and they do not care what it takes to establish it. I will fight them tooth and nail to protect not only myself, but my fellow citizens, irreligious and religious alike, from being forced to obey their laws and morality.
Conversely, while I think religions are false and foolish I have no right to enforce what anyone should believe (or should not believe) or how to believe or whether or not one can even worship. I have every right to say it is false and foolish. I have every right to scream that from the roof tops. You can scream until you're blue in the face about the saving power of Christ. It will sure as hell annoy me but I think you have the right to do it unless you use the power of the state or state agents to do so. The government should be secular from the bottom up so this power never gets confused or abused by anyone. Religious or not. Pray in school! I don't care. Just don't enforce prayer in school or somehow make it exclusionary. Similarly, one can teach Creationism all they want at home or in church (yes, I cringed typing that). It is just not appropriate in a publically-funded school/agency.
Pardon my assumption, but this is where I usually get a response about how atheism wants to push itself on everyone else. No. No it does not. Atheists have every right to voice their opinion and attempt to "de-convert" the faithful if that is someone's wish. To object would be the height of hypocrisy for an evangelical religion such as Christianity. Atheists, generally, want to remove religion from an entanglement with the government for the good of all. A secular state protects everyone by not being involved in the discussion. All the energy and money spent on fighting these battles should be put to better use by not introducing them via the state that represents all different types of ideologies and religions.
"He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself." --Thomas Paine
As to the historicity of the Bible; I am no expert. Aside from having read it in it's entirely a few times and then looking up various passages more times than I can remember, I would not say that I "study" it. However, the point I was making in my response to your post is that it is deeply flawed book, not the least of which is its historicity. I have never claimed the Bible to be useless either philosophically or historically. It's certainly not a great book for philosophy (downright heinous at times), but it has its moments. Historically, there is some value to it, but by and large there are too many holes, inconsistencies and inaccuracies for it to be truly useful. There are a plethora of historical claims that are provably false within the Bible. If I am going to study history I am better off with another book. Again, I'm not going to hash that all out here, because I would suspect you know that to be true or can use the computer to find out for yourself. While the two men are not fond of each other you should check out Bart Erhman and Richard Carrier for non-theistic takes on the Bible. Erhman is a little more forgiving, fyi.
Finally, the last point I would like to make revisits the "passive atheism" discussion. For me personally, once I came to the realization that faith is an inadequate mode of operation and that theistic and religious claims are false, whether harmful or not, it becomes a lost cause on respecting it. The mechanism of belief (faith) is dangerous because it can allow any claim or belief to be believed. It is a useless method to determine what is true or not. It is, however, a fantastic method to believe what one wants to believe. The difference being that a properly skeptical person that arrives at atheism is not operating via faith. It is completely rational to reject theistic and religious claims. The onus is on the claims of the believer.
If you are interested in understanding this point more please read two of my recent posts entitled "The Premise of Atheism: Rejecting the Positive Assertion" and "Above All…Faith." I think those two essays sum up my reasoning rather well.

"Sure we fit. We wouldn't be here if we didn't."
"It seems the height of antiquated hubris to claim that the universe carried on as it did for billions of years in order to form a comfortable abode for us. Chance and historical contingency give the world of life most of its glory and fascination. I sit here happy to be alive and sure that some reason must exist for 'why me?' Or the earth might have been totally covered with water, and an octopus might now be telling its children why the eight-legged God of all things had made such a perfect world for cephalopods. Sure we fit. We wouldn't be here if we didn't. But the world wasn't made for us and it will endure without us."

Joe The Plumber & the Bible vs. Science
Samuel Wurzelbacher, aka Joe the Plumber, aka Gun Control Caused the Holocaust, explained to Christian Broadcasting Network's David Brody on the 700 Club how his pastor convinced him of the truth of Christianity. Wurzelbacher's pastor claims the truth of the Bible since it has never been revised, whereas science books are revised all the time!
"'Revision Seven.' He said, 'now look at the Bible, what does it say'? I said, 'Holy Bible.' He said, 'see any revisions on it Joe'? I said, 'no.' He said, 'the reason why is because this is God's word…man's always looking for an answer, that's why it's revised.'"
That is airtight reasoning right there, son! Not to mention it is completely false. The Bible has been revised a number of times and has specious sources to boot. Science is, of course, going to revise itself often based on the accumulation of information, revision and correction. It admits its mistakes. If it didn't it would be useless.
It has to be noted that Right Wing Watch likes to point out that the pastor "…seems to believe that faith and science are incompatible…." (emphasis mine)
That's because they are. One can still operate via science in one instance and faith in another, but that is the result of compartmentalization. They are utterly incompatible in unison.

An Incredibly Poor Defense of Faith
Every once in awhile I come across theistic apologetics so profoundly "circular" that my first reaction is to ignore it. Actually, "circular" isn't exactly the right word. Nick used the word "pap" in a post yesterday and I really like that word. "Pap" is something that is lacking in "substance or value." The word also means a "soft food for infants or invalids." I laughed as I typed that. Faith = pap. Yeah…yeah I like that.
The apologetics in question here is in a blog post entitled "Challenging Atheism's Definition of Faith" by The Confident Christian. As the title implies, we atheists are apparently unaware of the true definition of faith. We are subsequently schooled on its proper meaning. I'm not going to do a word for word dissection to counter this post, because this is already pretty long and there is way too much irrelevant filler. Pap if you will…
Part 1: Intro - Nietzsche and Faith
The article begins with the author admitting a grudging respect for Nietzsche, who is apparently "an honest atheist."
So many atheists want to live with one foot in the Christian worldview and one foot out. Not Nietzsche. He took his medicine like a man and followed the atheistic worldview to its logical conclusions. Then he went crazy.
I'm not exactly sure what the author means by having "one foot in the Christian worldview and one out," but I'll make the assumption it means nothing and is simply flowery and specious language inserted to get a dig on atheists. Of course any true atheist worth his salt will end up where they belong: insane. That's not fallacious at all!
Various quotes regarding Nietzsche's view of faith are given and then we are told that "99% of all skeptics and atheists" would agree. That's an assumption and mind-reading. We'll get to a Nietzsche's quotes later.
Let's take a look at what real Biblical faith is and see if we can't redeem the word from the faulty image that's painted by today's unbelieving culture.
Oh the "real Biblical faith." Do tell!

Coming Out Is Hard To Do (Especially If You Now Champion Evil)
Coming out is hard to do. I know. You're never sure how people are going to react. I've gotten the full spectrum of reactions, everything from "Awesome, me too" to "No, you're not" to the ever popular "You know you're going to hell, right". I've never asked that people accept my atheism, just that they respect my right of conscience. That's why when I read about Leah Libresco's announcement that she's switching sides, I didn't feel the need to jump all over her. Even the fact that she continued writing "as an atheist" for another month after her realization didn't bother me. In a way, it was kind of expected. I read her blog off and on, always more interested in how she was going to argue her point rather than what she was arguing. She was a "theist's atheist", much as S.E. Cupp is, although I would have hesitated to make that comparison. That is, until I actually read her post explaining her conversion.
I wasn't upset that she had become a theist, just disappointed. That she "feels" morality is a person is about as ridiculous a reason as I've ever heard for belief in the supernatural. It's weakness couched in sophistry. That she wants there to be some force for good in the universe doesn't change the fact that she can't possibly know whether or not there is; and the fact is that the universe behaves exactly as we'd expect it to without a supreme moral agent working for good. Not to mention she ignores every other argument in favor of non-belief. All this didn't really seem worth my time to rebut.
A conversion to Roman Catholicism, however, is worth a rebuttal. Of all the religious traditions available, she chose one of the most wretchedly immoral of the lot. With everything that the Catholic Church has done and believed throughout its history and all that it continues to, she chose it?
The church of the golden throne and the starving child.
The church of the Madonna and dying mothers.
The church of Highest Truth and greatest lies.
If she is now Catholic, then she kisses the ring and trades her freedom for hierarchy, homophobia, genocide, protected pederasty, and misogyny. They do not actually bend on this. Canon Law is Canon Law (unless the Pope changes his mind). Her reservation about the church's stance on homosexuality is cute, liberal pap. They don't care if it makes you squeamish. I expect more Lewis and Chesterson (really, Leah those are the philosphical shoulders you stand upon?), and probably some Teilhard de Chardin. You know, to show us how good Catholicism is. How about some Francis of Assisi? I mean, seriously? St Patrick's Breastplate?
In the comments, some asked her why not deism, Unitarian Universalism, or some other moderate form of belief. Given her choice, I'm wondering why not Wahhabi Islam?
I have always contended that I am open to the existence of the divine, that I will gladly shed my atheism for belief in the presence of evidence. What I have never, and will never concede, is that the divine powers of any of the extant religions are examples of good moral agents, and especially not the tyrannical god of Abraham. If that were to be the god of this world, I would fight it with every fiber of my being, no matter the futility.
I wish Leah well on her journey. She has said that her conversion is not over. I certainly hope so.

So You Want To Misrepresent Atheism?
I haven't written a dissection in a while and then I read So You Want to Be an Atheist Apologist? by Stephen J. Bedard. I don't typically think these types of posts need any kind of intro so I'll just get to it.
Somehow you have found yourself believing that there is no God. Perhaps you never had faith, perhaps you lost faith along the way. At first it was just nice to sleep in on Sundays and to not worry about any religious rules stopping you from having fun. But passive atheism has become boring and now you want to do more than just not believe, you want to encourage other people to stop believing as well. That is what this post is all about, training you to be an atheist apologist.
Yes. Somehow I found myself not believing in god; as if belief in a deity is the default and non-belief is mind-bogglingly weird. As if disbelief is totally irrational. Also, the only rules that stop anyone from having any fun are religious rules? Religious rules like Deuteronomy 13:13-19, Deuteronomy 20:10-14, Deuteronomy 21:10-14, Deuteronomy 22:28-2, Deuteronomy 22:23-24, 2 Samuel 12:11-14, Judges 5:30, Exodus 21:7-11, Matthew 10:14-15, Matthew 10:21, Matthew 10: 32-37, Mark 7:9-10, Romans 1: 31-32, Romans 5:12, etc. just to name a sample. Has anyone read the book? Lest someone respond with "Well, that's the OLD Testament. Jesus fixed all that!" I'm sure you are already aware of Matthew 5:17 and Hebrews 10: 28-29. People that think Jesus was all rainbows and kittens are deluded.
It takes gall and ignorance to think that morality comes from the Bible and can only be achieved via religion.
For the record Rev. Bedard, "passive atheism" didn't get "boring." It became a liability. I don't know you and will not make assumptions about your beliefs, but there are many religious folk that would love to force their belief and "morality" on everyone else. There maybe even be religious people you disagree with and you wouldn't want their beliefs and "morality" forced upon you. The aggressive atheists or atheist apologists are a reaction to growing fundamentalism and infringement on freedom of religion and the separation of church and state. It is not the other way around.
The first thing that you have to work on is attitude. Some of your atheist friends will tell you to ignore religious people and let everyone believe what they want. Do not listen to them. It is not enough for you to not believe, other people must join you in unbelief. In some ways your atheism is unfulfilled when there is even one person still believing. Look for any opportunity to tear down someone else's faith.
Pretty rich coming from someone whose job and "passion is to present the truth of the Bible…" Do you not get paid to spread the Word?
People are free to believe what they want. You have that right and whether you accept the next point is irrelevant: I want you to have that right. I defend it. However, my disbelief and "atheist apologetics" is not an attempt to take the right of that belief away. I have every right to try and show what I think of faith and religion just as you have a right to preach. Your point is a double standard.
One of the atheists greatest weapons is that of offence. One of the reasons religion must be destroyed is that it is offensive. It is not just stands on moral issues or specific ethical rules that are offensive. Anything religious should be seen as offensive. If you are driving down a road and you see a cross that has been placed where someone has been killed in an accident, you should be filled with anger. They might claim that they placed it there to remember a lost loved one but their real reason was to shove religion down your throat. Do not let them get away with that. As an atheist apologist, it is your job to seek the removal of any public display of religion. You have the right to never encounter anything religious and you should fight for that right.
No. Again you are equating a lack of belief with a lack of morals. This is pathetic and false. More to the point of this paragraph; I do not care about public displays of religion as long they are not intertwined with the government. That's it. Individuals and groups of individual's have the right to public displays of religion. They do not have the right to use the state, state agencies or agents of the state, in any capacity, to further a religious agenda.
One of the things that atheism has going for itself is that it is the only intellectual worldview on the market. All religion is based on faith, atheism is based on fact. Sure, we don't know how the universe started or how life began, but those are still facts, just facts that we don't know yet. Every once in a while religious people will put forward a religious scientist or other academically recognized person. There is an easy way to respond. The fact that they are religious removes any clout they might have based on their intelligence, education or credentials. Religious people are uneducated, no matter how much education they have.
Yes, all religion is based on faith. You may be surprised to learn that atheism is not based on fact. I know! Crazy, right? An atheist…a scary antitheist...just said atheism is not factual! Well, that is because atheism is a lack of belief in a god or gods. One can neither prove nor disprove god's existence. Facts are sadly lacking in that regard. However, the lack of facts obviously doesn't make it impossible to have position on the matter. The premise of atheism is that there is no reason to believe in god so I don't. Simple. The lack of facts also leads me to not believe in Vishnu, Odin and Xenu. You can see how this works if you try.
The other advantage of atheism is that atheism is the only ethical worldview. All religion is evil and history proves it. Century after century, religion has always been responsible for millions of deaths. Now every once in a while, a religious person will try and pin you down on this. Do not get caught up in the details of how many people died or what the actual role of religion was. Focus on on the big picture that religion kills.
Atheism is neither ethical, nor unethical. It just means that one doesn't believe in a deity (I know I said this already, but I think I need to drive the point home). Individuals, and dare I say cultures, are ethical or unethical, regardless of religion. I won't pretend to know the exact reason why, but morality is internal. You ignore plenty of Biblical laws and teachings. Why?
I think you are confusing the criticism from atheists that the religious have a tendency to be high and mighty when they have plenty of skeletons in their closet just like the rest of us.
What about examples of religious people who do good things and atheists who do bad things? Fellow atheist apologists have taken care of this. When we see religious people doing good things, they are either secret atheists who are afraid to admit their atheism or they are religious people who are acting like atheists and are acting in spite of their religion. What about bad atheists? That is easy as well. Those so-called "atheists" are either people who have made another worldview (such as communism) into a religion or have made atheism itself into a religion. Once they make that move into religious thinking and doing, they are setting themselves up for being as dangerous as religious people. So we see, even in this case it is religion that is bad and atheism that is good.
I have no idea where you got this. I have been around the block on the whole atheism vs. religion debate and have never heard the "secret atheist" conspiracy theory. Actually it's a "No True Scotsman" fallacy and I have never seen it used in that regard. Plenty of Christians pull the "Oh well he's not a real Christian…" shtick.
The second half of your paragraph here seems to be alluding to Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot. Well, yes, they used "atheism" as a means to subdue religion since religion, as a powerful political force, would have inevitably gotten in the way of their totalitarian political agenda. It was about power. Not about disbelief. Attributing this to "atheism" isn't intellectually honest. It's just lazy.
Here are just a few more hints on how you can be a good atheist apologist. Reject the Bible as a historical source. Once it was acknowledged as a religious text, it lost all historical value. Whenever you get confused, just bring up crusades, inquisition and Jihad. Those words answer just about anything. Do not listen to the actual arguments of religious people. This is not a conversation about seeking out the truth. You know the truth. Your job is to argue, ridicule, mock and whatever else you need to do to show that religion is bad. Do not get caught up in arguments about freedom of religion. Freedom of religion should be freedom from religion and therefore supports your position. Do not be tolerant of moderate religious people who mind their own business and feed poor people. As long as they are religious, they are as guilty as a Jihadist who blows up a plane.
C'mon, the Bible is an awful historical document. It's not devoid of history. It's just not a good a historical document. There is plenty of it that is provably false. C'mon…
By the way, I do listen to the arguments of religious people. I have for all 35 years of my life, but as of yet not heard a single argument that convinces me that religion, any religion, is valid. I find no truth in religious claims. Do I not have that right? Do you have some superior argument or evidence to the contrary that makes my disbelief invalid? Are you not arguing for the validity of your position while rejecting my ability to do so? Furthermore, is your post not mocking atheism? I don't care that it does. I'm fine with that. Go right ahead. Obviously I am taking an opposing stance right now and to a degree mocking your position. So what? I find nothing sacred in religion. Rejecting and mocking religion is freedom of and from religion. Do I not have the right to ignore religion? That never happens since it is foisted upon me, but in theory should that not be the case?
Your straw man notwithstanding, tolerance of "moderate religious believers" is on a spectrum and I have yet to understand what "moderate religion" is. Can someone only believe "moderately"? Too often that is an excuse to not take a stand when their religion is used to condemn, discriminate and persecute "others." Yeah…I'm not apologizing for that judgment.
There is so much more that could be said but this should give you a start. There is a big job to be done. While church attendance is down, belief in God is stubbornly solid. Do what you can to bring this world to atheism.
Good times, Stephen.

About Elisabeth
I was raised with Boerboels (South African Mastiffs) on a Boerboel breeding farm and it taught me a lot about educating and socialising dogs, both big and small.
I have been a dog carer in the UK for 4+ years now with many references to show. I have done various courses in dog psychology and some practical courses. I am also a volunteer for Large Breed Dog Rescue in Kent.
My house has over 2 acres of land where the dogs can walk & run freely with lots of adventurous places to explore & agility play as well
I take them out for walks in Hothfield, The Warren, the beach etc. At night they stay in my own home.
Living in the Ashford area of Kent I have access to a beautiful and varied landscape. However, my favorite exercise is beach walking.
Dog day care, pet holiday care, pet overnight sitting, socializing dogs with certified trainers/behaviourists (I work with several, suited to dog's needs).

I have one user in a domain environment that we tried to upgrade to from outlook 2007 to outlook 2010 (outlook only) and it failed every time. It kept giving the error above. I've tried installing as the user, the network administrator and the local administrator. I will attach the setup.exe log file not sure what else to try. It didn't even roll back to '07 nicely, had to do a system restore. Anyone encounter this?

Did you try a clean install of Outlook or did you only attempt an upgrade from 07' to 10' ?
Jun 21, 2012 at 10:13 UTC
Jun 21, 2012 at 10:37 UTC
Are there any add-ins that might be conflicting with the upgrade process?
Jun 21, 2012 at 10:43 UTC
No addins
Jun 21, 2012 at 10:55 UTC
Is this an upgrade through deployment services? This sounds like it might work with MS Fixit tool.
Worth a shot
Jun 21, 2012 at 11:14 UTC
No, it's a download from our email host. going to have to wait until he's out of the office for my next attempt. Most likely next week.

Hey guys,
I am having some what the same problem, but on a set alone laptop. It had MS Office 2007, and the job was to upgrade Outlook only to 2010. It failed giving the same error as above. So I decided so remove the entire Office 2007 hopping it will allowed me to install Outlook 2010 and then I could reinstall the rest of the suite of 2007.. failed. Then I deleted all the contents of C:\Users\clienth\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\12.0\outlook\ tried again... failed. Then tried the possibility of an existing Rgstrtn.lck so I used the Microsoft cleaning tool.... nothing. Then I removed any mention of Outlook in the registry (very pesky task, but in the past has worked wonders when I have encountered weird install problems like this one) well, that did not do the trick either. The biggest problem is I am not getting a code error or a log file to at least research what the problem might be. I have being working on this for hours with no results. The machine is Windows Vista and reimaging is not an option. I am going to try stopping the SQL servers and see if that makes a difference... (doubt it) but I am completely out of ideas at this point... Oh yeah, I even tried installing Outlook into a different location.... Any help would be greatly appreciated... this is crazy!

Another difference between Granlund and The Bust I did not consider at the time of my post. Granlund may get out muscled, but at least he does not suffer from deer in the headlights syndrome. So I retract the comparison between those two.
My opinion is keep him here the rest of this year...
Let him get a full season of working out and then a full training camp with the big boys.
If the coaching staff doesn't think he's ready then or what not. Start him at Houston next year.
