You are here: Home » Robert Farley » Thank You
Thanks to Crooked Timber for this, and to Duck of Minerva for this.
"Gifted young scholarly"? His "contribution" to academia is a screed about homosexual Marxist lumberjacks.
Erik "Towering with Rage" Loomis must be in full on panic mode, fearing for his career right now.
Projection really is the wingnut's most pronounced trait.
Wrong again, libtards! Very few wingnuts have ever worked in movie theaters.
I nominate "Red Wood" for the John H. Hinderaker Memorial Award for Most Hilariously Unselfaware Alias.
You crackers are rather obsessed aren't you? I'm sure there's a rest area where similar closet cases congregate. Just get it over already.
He's taking a wide stance on the issues.
So you're not outraged at the slaughter of children but you are outraged at a metaphor in the heat of the moment? You PC Thug
I can't imagine what sort of thing would get Loomis that angry and upset. Interesting that you care more about words than the deaths of 20 children.
Whatever, it's more clicks on Crooked Timber.
Actually, "towering with rage" refers to one of Loomis's tweets when he used that phrase not as a response to any killing, but instead the great injustice of (wait for it)…not being able to use a laptop while sitting at a bar.
He's got some real anger issues and he shouldn't be anywhere near college kids.
Thank you for your diagnosis now may we see your credentials
Do you think "towering with rage" is an appropriate response when one is told they may not place a laptop on a bar? Really?
That's just one of 100s of Angry Loomis tweets, raging from the trivial to the downright scary.
Thank you for your diagnosis…now may we see your credentials?
For your edification: hy·per·bo·le: A figure of speech in which exaggeration is used for emphasis or effect
Just so we're clear: if a bartender or patron is worried and requests the assistance of a bouncer or policeman because another patron is raging out about not being permitted to use a laptop, said would-be laptop user may have rage issues (or at least be having a bad day). If a would-be laptop user pulls out their phone and tweets that they are "towering with rage", in the absence of any relevant history of violence it's really not anything to worry about.
the downright scary.
What is is like being so easily scared? I can't imagine, myself. Are you able to leave mom's basement without quaking in fear?
For people who are so all about "self-reliance" and "rugged individualism," they sure tremble a lot.
They just read about gay lumberjacks. Of course they're trembling.
Yes, but why is only one arm tremb–
Of course they're trembling.
I don't think that shaking motion is "trembling," unless this is what the kids nowadays are calling it.
Damn you, actor! Damn you and your speedier wit!
Oh, and how many times have you beaten me to the punch line, I ask you?
Please, avoid discussion of how often you've beaten each other. You are scaring Red Wood. And possibly exciting him.
And possibly exciting him.
Without advanced optical equipment, it will be impossible to tell.
I do think it's interesting how deeply, deeply turned on a guy calling himself "Red Wood" is about gay lumberjacks.
MARXIST gay lumberjacks. I mean, the jokes just write themselves.
Do you think "towering with rage" is an appropriate response when one is told they may not place a laptop on a bar?
Prissy pantspissing prat.
I am outraged by your clever use of alliteration!
I would have gone for "bungalowing with rage", but apparently there is a character limit.
A responsible liberal would have gone in between the sprawl-causing bungalow of rage and the blight-causing tower of rage. I myself would prefer a collection of mixed medium-rise rage complexes with interspersed townhomes of fury with some greenspaces of peevish resentment.
I would like to offer Njorl's comment an opportunity to buy into a time-share of passive aggression.
I'm towering with rage right now at the thought that your vote counts as much as mine
Rilly? Scared by faggy, gun-hating librul? Just clutch your gun, asshole.
They don't "clutch" they "stroke." Often, and repeatedly.
It is a substitute after all.
I am sure it is tho whiny assed bedwetters cowering under their beds shitting themselves every time they hear a loud noise like you. For sane, rational adults, however, there is nothing even mildly troubling about any of Loomis' comments. Do try to seek counseling for your mental health issues.
I can't imagine what it'd be like to be incapable of recognizing sarcastic hyperbole. So, um, why don't you tell me.
how stupid do you feel when you leave Twitchy and discover Michelle and Josh are wrong about everything?
Twitchy is a site for people who can't figure out how to use fucking Twitter. Stupid goes with the territory.
Tiny, weak, defenseless college students. Why, next thing you know we'll be giving them guns and insufficient body armor and sending them out to the desert to get shot at.
They have already done that to a lot of my students.
There are 100s of other Loomis tweets totally unrelated to Sandy Hook and helpfully archived on Twitchy's page which demonstrate serious anger issues unbecoming of a professor looking for tenure. Loomis is clearly psychologically unbalanced.
A "twitchy," the malkin methheads. Sociopaths and bigots.
"Red Wood" sounds like he needs penicillin.
Thank you for your diagnosis, now may we see your credentials?
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea of Malkinites talking about other peoples' "anger issues"
They have been sodomizing irony's rotting, mutilated corpse for a long time.
Oh dear. 100s? In that case you won't mind providing us with what you consider to be the worst 200 so that we may examine them. After all, if you have such a strong case against Erik, you should welcome the opportunity to demonstrate it, right?
Um, no. He's not.
And what, pray tell, have you contributed to academia, besides your absence?
For some things we give thanks
It's not a small contribution, actor!
I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK!
Sounds more like he's full of warm fuzzies from the solidarity.
There is also this on Facebook.
It will be a sad day for this nation if Erik is silenced because of a metaphor.
Even to suggest that Loomis's tweet constitutes a "threat of violence" is an offense against the English language. We are dismayed that the university president completely fails to acknowledge the importance of academic freedom and of scholars' freedom independently to express views (even intemperate ones) on topics of public importance. This statement—unless it is swiftly corrected— should give alarm to scholars at the University of Rhode Island, to scholars who might one day consider associating themselves with this institution, and to academic and professional associations that value academic freedom.
Brilliantly put, and unanswerable.
Might as well poke the spineless administrator from the other side.
Thank you for your diagnosis…may we see your credentials and your dildo expert papers?
For what it's worth, none of these conservatives had any problem with the John and Ken Show's "Head on a Stick" campaign against allegedly liberal Republicans in California:
See here and a tasteful visualization here.
Looks like Patty Cakes defended it at the time.
But it's never bad when wingnuts do it! It's only bad when non-wingnuts do it! When non-wingnuts do something, it's CHEATING!
Fortunately it doesn't matter anymore; Dems have 2/3 in each house. Huzzah!
FWIW I just wrote to URI:
Dear President Dooley,
I am just writing to express my disappointment in the way that URI has handled the faux-controversy that right-wing bloggers have created around Erik Loomis' completely harmless and obvious hyperbolic tweet that said he wanted "Wayne LaPierre's head on a stick"; claiming that it is anything other than the fairly obvious use of a colloquial phrase commonly interpreted as a call for responsibility.
After 20 children were ruthlessly shot down last week, it is time for the gun lobby and more specifically the NRA to be held accountable for the America they have created. Erik's tweet made an important point that needs to be shouted from the rooftops of our country. THE NRA NEVER PAYS!! The families hurt, the community suffers, the rest of the country empathizes and we all have to go about being a lot less safe, both physically and psychologically. Aside from the victims, their families, and the first-responders, you know who gets hit the worst? The entire public education system. Teacher's and parents living in fear, administrations faced with security concerns and an overall environment that is not conducive to learning.
As a key member of the educational system, URI should be standing with their professor's right to free speech, rather than cow-towing to obvious attempts by right-wing hysterics to continue to feed the Greedy-Liberal-Ivory-Tower-Academics myth that they have been using for decades to attack teachers, their unions, and the very concept of fact-based education for all.
I hope the University will change their tune and show some respect to their staff, and the parents and students of America, rather than the screaming lunatics who are just trying to smear Professor Loomis and further their stereotype of Academia.

I was tempted to end by opining that every complaining gun-nut can "go eat a bag of salty dicks" or something, but given how literal everyone is being recently I didn't want to cause the artificial inflation of salt prices on the global market.
I hope Dooley isn't towing those cows where I think he is.
I almost added that I was never a student of Loomis, so don't hold him responsible for any poor grammar, wording etc., of my own.
That's okay. And for the record, I only meant to imply that Dooley is a metaphorical cowfucker.
Here's mine:
Why did you throw Dr. Loomis under the bus? Learn to read and grow a spine!
No, I am not advocating you be prosecuted for vehicular homicide, attend remedial literacy classes, or calcify your dorsal area, merely that you do your job. Because you are, literally, failing to.

Not exactly polite, but no profanity at least.
I am an Internet activist!!
In meatspace… Not so much :(
Ah the old imitation troll routine. Brilliant.
Somehow I suspect this person isn't an activist in "meatspace" either, hell in cyberspace he doesn't even use his real name.
Is anyone else unable to reach uri.edu? Weird confluence of events.
It's loading very slowly here.
Added: Um, not loading at all. Maybe a DoS attack?
Their Twitter says their ISP has had a "node failure" and the whole university is down. What this means is beyond me.
Dooley's incompetent administration strikes again!
Correct Response:
Is his dissertation hosted on the URI website? Perhaps everyone is downloading it, haha.
What an utterly chickenshit response from URI. Unbelievable.
Actually all too easy to believe. Sadly, chickenshit is what's for dinner in today's academic world, as it has been, well, pretty much always.
I've certainly seen universities respond in less chickenshit ways to these kind of manufactured controversies in the past. And this is a public university in Rhode Island, where there's surely not any real danger of the legislature taking much of an interest in this.
But they're making up for a lack of spine with an abundance of strategic dynamism.
I don't entirely agree, Steve. Both Penn State and UVa stood up for Michael Mann during the manufactured "climategate" controversy.
You're right, we should not forget to extol good behavior as well as excoriating bad.
Can't upset the right-wing bazillionaires with their endowment money.
You know what, maybe this is self-aggrandizing of me, but fuck it, I don't care.
I'm Murc. Many of you know me from my proud history of ill-thought-out comments. I post using a nym because that nym or some variation of it has been my online name for over a decade now and I have history with it.
And I'll continue to do so, but my real name is Matthew Adam Giglia. And I support Erik Loomis, and I don't care who knows it, and I am proud to have my full legal name associated with him and his blog.
I'm not anyone important or anything, for all the good it'll do him, but still.
+whatever numerical value "good on yer" has.
Thanks for the example. Of course, I'm going to pull a MeAgain McArdle and not actually *follow* your example… But I admire it nonetheless!
(Really. Well done.)
Same here. Maybe when I don't have kids at home and I'm closer to retirement I'll reveal my completely unimportant, irrelevant and unimpressive identity.
Right now, no way.
Follwing the example of Hilzoy (whose real name I stumbled across a while back) I'm going to sign the statement under my real name, but not use my pseudonym. Nothing about this incident convinces me that my choice to do most of my online stuff under a pseudonym was a bad idea.
'At's what I did. Those who are sufficiently intereted can go through Crooked Timber's signatories and find my real-world handle, but I can't imagine anyone being that bored.
That's what I did, too.
It's mildly amusing that trying to comment under my real name gets my comment there sent to moderation . . .
mine did too.
The same happened to me. I assume it was because of my e-mail being the same.
Yeah, we look like imposters–maybe their software catches this stuff automatically.
Likewise. Murc is a better man than I.
No. It's easy for me to use my name; I've got tenure. It's not the same for other folks, and that has to be respected. LGM would be much the poorer without Mal, DrDick, DocAmazing, and all the other nym-users.
I almost held back for that reason but what the hell.
Thank you. That is high praise coming from you.
Honored. And my real name, sans nym, is among the 350 at CT.
Likewise. Murc is a better man than I.
Why must you turn this comment thread into a house of lies?
Also: my actions should in no way, shape, or form be construed to imply anything about those who don't emulate me. This was an act of small arrogance on my part and is, frankly, more about me than it is about Erik.
(I'm not precisely proud of this fact, but I like this blog and watching it get swarmed under was more personal than when it's happened to other blogs in the past. It's like watching frat boys pile into your favorite Irish pub and get wasted on Miller and hot wings while demanding someone turn off the soccer and put on some football.)
I have no family and am not, say, dependent on an academic or political career to support them.
I wish I hadn't already transitioned to real name, so I could do this too. My nym was "homun" followed by my last initial.
You inspired me to go back and use my real name, with pseudonym. Bastard ;)
We've already figured out who you all are. Now we just have corroborating evidence. Expect your blackmail in tomorrow's post.
Pleased to meet you Murc, I'm Christopher Alario and I stand with Erik Loomis.
And that damned old Gravatar has followed me once again. It seems somehow appropriate in this case.
Can't follow your lead, wish I could, admire those who do.
Are you folks implying this ISN'T my real name? Or that I am not actually a zombie?
My friend Putrescent Polecat Campbell says all McDonalds are rotten zombies.
I have succumbed to peer pressure and become Spartacus.
Excellent! Have some snails! Or oysters!
oh.our.god! i just the URI president's statement. has someone checked, to be sure he hasn't been replaced by a "pod person"? does this man not realize he's just put himself, and URI, in the position of possibly being sued for libel & defamation of character, a much more expensive proposition than the costs of tenure?
mr. loomis, if you have not done so already, i urge you, in the strongest possible terms, to secure the services of competent legal counsel, and start filing civil suits. in consultation with said counsel, prepare a target list, prioritizing them. the president of your university, and the university itself should be on that list.
your counsel should be in direct contact with their legal counsel, advising them of what's coming, unless certain, minimum conditions are met. your immediate tenure is the first condition. as i said, cheaper than a lawsuit.
your legal counsel should also issue subpoenas to the RI state police, requesting all, unredacted records of this incident, to find out who authorized those two troopers to come calling on you, which they had no legitimate business doing.
this is nothing more than an out of court SLAPP suit, whose purpose is to get you to shut up. their are federal laws against this, use them to your advantage.
I think my favorite part (noted at the Duck Of Minerva) is that not only does the statement make no concession to the intent of Loomis (let alone a defense), it also refers to him as "Erik Loomis" while being signed by "Dr. David Dooley". One gets their honorific, the other does not. (I was trying to visit URI's web site to find out what Dooley's PhD was in, but they're down).
PS Has anyone seen input from, say, Dan Drezner or Juan Cole? I seem to recall both had high-profile tenure/recruitment controversies arising from their blogging.
I think that's sort of true for Cole, his blog caught the attention of the shitheads at AIPAC. I'm not sure about Drezner, he was denied tenure at Chicago and perhaps his blog had something to do with it,maybe Rob knows?
Cole'a blogging reportedly cost him an appointment at Yale. Dan's tenure denial had nothing directly to do with blogging, and likely little at all to do with it.
And, yes, the statement looked like the work of someone out of his or her depth.
Drezner was denied tenure at Chicago in 2005 (and then moved to Tufts). I dont think it was because of his blogging.
Cole was nominated to teach at Yale but that nomination was overturned by a senior appointsment committee. The reason for it, as far as I know, was never revealed (and no litigation ensued) but it was most likely because of his statements, in blogs and other places, about Israel and the contention by AIPAC and others that his positions were borderline anti-Semitic. He had a fierce debate with Hitchens about translation of a speech given by the president of Iran and whether it indicated a desire to destroy Israel.
Hitchens spoke Persian?
Farce-i, actually.
Nicely played Doctor. Very sharper
I looked around and found out that he's a chemist. As a natural scientist myself, I am ashamed.
Call yourself a "natural philosopher." It sounds way more impressive, like at any moment you might build a set of clockwork wings or transmute lead into gold or seduce an Italian noblewoman.
Now I'm reminded of Aubrey's and Maturin's discussion about the differences between natural philosphy and moral philosphy (natural philosphy is immoral; moral philosphy is unnatural)
Those two knew how to talk dirty like nobodies business.
Oh dear.
Robert Parson

Here's his C.V.
Man, fucking Montanans…
Watch it there, boyo. We are not all whackjobs, though there a lot of them over there at that other university.
Input from Drezner is here.
Given that he was asked to meet the troopers at a gas station (his own description), I'd have to think that was a voluntary appearance, and informal.
On Facebook this morning, he made it clear the cops thought it was all bullshit anyway.
It's still quite a bit of hassle.
Hopefully they're following up on whoever filed the false reports.
Waste of time. The jerks who made the reports to state police and the FBI probably said that a URI prof is making death threats and here's the proof – providing a print out of Erik's head on a pike comment. That's not actionable conduct especially when, as here, it didn't lead to any arrest. That is simply not a false police report.
Erik knew he didn't have to meet with the cops but, making the right decision, did so anyway. The cops asked a few questions and that was it. They had every right to ask Erik to answer a few questions and seemed to have done it, according to Erik's account, in a professional manner.
The real problem is the lily livered response of the URI president and what it may imply about Erik's long term prospects at that institution (or other academic institutions). I'm sure Erik is talking to the right people (union reps, other profs, possibly an attorney with a background in dealing with university administrations,etc.
Talk about lawsuits, subpoenas, defamation, etc is more than a little silly. Erik is a smart guy and seems to be handling this matter as well as possible given the circumstances.
Oh, I sent an email to the Dean in support of Erik and requesting that the school stand up to the principals of academic freedom and free speech instead of caving to these morons.
Demanding tenure from the university administration as a condition for not filing a lawsuit is a pretty enormous violation of academic self-governance itself. It should be primarily up to Loomis's colleagues to determine if he should get tenure, and that should be based on the quality of his scholarly work, teaching, and service to the department, not a bribe he gets not to sue the university for defamation.
Tenure could never be part of a settlement in a matter like this. Plus the school, although wrong not to support him, didn't come close to defaming him
Probably stupid question: Should the statements of support be made with our real names?
Yeah, I posted as "Bethany" at CT. And now you all know I'm not really a doctor. FUCK.
Or a slayer of vacuum's or Louise Belcher, I'm now so cynical about life
The thing about the bunny ears is for real though.
Damn right
Does that mean you're really a rabbit?
For the purposes of the INTERNET and Ms. Rabett, yes
Here, have one of mine.
I take it this means the War With Crooked Timber is officially over?
We Have Always Been At Peace With Crooked Timber.
No, it's just Christmas in the Trenches.
Does this mean we have to play them at soccer football?
If so, remember they have Irishmen. Wear your shin pads, and be very afraid.
This sub-thread needs an anthem!
I only have one anthem, so it'll have to be this.
Not only that, but Greenwald signed on to the Crooked Timber statement.
I'm booking bets on how long this group hug lasts.
over/under at 12 hours?
I'll take the over. It should be good for a day. But the time zone differences make it all so confusing.
There was no war because they had no navy.
I dunno if anyone caught this, my apologies if it already has. But I just have to point it out.
Yesterday Ann Althouse writes an article defending Scalia's remarks at Princeton. The title? Why are people having so much trouble understanding rhetorical devices?
Glenn Reynolds posts it. Headline: Because it's easier to fake outrage if you play dumb. At 6:25pm.
Are you kidding me?
Oh, snap.
Damn. Unintended irony for the win.
Wow. Just. Wow.
I don't doubt that Reynolds knew exactly what he was doing.
Do you think Reynolds is actually that self-aware? He's never impressed me as particularly bright.
This isn't relevant really to what we're talking about, but Althouse talks about fighting against Gays because of Penn State like gun control because of the CT shooting.
Except there wasn't a gay person involved in the Penn State scandal.
Sandusky was married. To a woman. If he was gay, he would've been having sex with a grown man and it would have been fine. So if anything, Althouse is arguing because of Penn State we should have more gay people!
Well, I don't know you all very well. I don't come here every day, and when I do I mostly lurk. (I am but lowly clerical worker at a UC and I don't mingle with professors.) But I blog, I have probably threatened worse to various people/institutions, and I'm sorry that they decided to pick on Loomis. Just sent an e-mail of support for EL to the URI administration.
The CT thread is at 188 and counting — I'm drawing some much-needed reassurance from that. And following on Murc's lead, I re-endorsed the CT statement with my full name in addition to my usual handle.
Ditto for me.
I endorsed the statement with my real name, but did not attach my nym to it. I'm happy to publicly stand up for academic freedom and metaphors, but I'd rather not have everything I say on line be so quickly traced back to my real identity.
Nearly 500 now, which is gratifying.
My disgust with this incident is growing the more I think on it. Having followed the smear campaign on Frances Fox Piven, and since I write on welfare rights issues and democratic theory (indeed, I have a discussion of Malkin and others in the introduction to my book that is coming out soon), it's all too easy for me to see similar things happen to me. It's not likely, of course. I don't blog and tend not to be terribly provocative. But as Farley pointed out in his earlier post on this, it's essential for every academic and every citizen to express solidarity with Professor Loomis and push back: This can happen to anyone who engages in politics and says things that some right winger has decided s/he doesn't like.
Glenn Mackin
I just want to give a shout out to Chris Bray. He butted heads with a few of us yesterday, but added his name to the CT statement. Good for you, Chris.
Yes. It appears that he is a man of integrity.
You know who else endorsed the CT statement? (And no, it wasn't Hitler.)
And so graciously, too. Generous, profound and fulsome. What a prize fellow he is, as I am sure he would tell us if asked.
Appreciated! I'm all for arguing, and all for not screwing with people's jobs and lives.
As one of the head-butters (no, wait, that doesn't sound right), er, butters of head (no, that can't be right either), okay, one of the arguers, I'll say well done too.
FWIW, Erik, you are very, very welcome. Now off to sign the CT petition.
Well, I delurked at CT to write a supportive statement and have emailed the president of URI with my outrage, appending all the correct designations of title and university.
Proud of the Eric Loomis Statement Committee at CT.
I wondered in a comment how important a few trolls were and see that quite sadly they caused a lot of problems. It is pretty sad that the police etc. got involved because of this sick campaign of theirs. But, mea culpa for not taking it as seriously as I should have.
Crooked Timber piece is very very well-written. The URI president is an idiot. And the right wingers are impossibly stupid and hypocritical. I am but a lowly bureaucrat so don't see what good it will do Dr. Loomis but I will try to post a letter direct to URI when their website is back up.
I hope Erik's department has a Christmas party, because he is totally going to have the best story there this year. He can totally milk it for free drinks if he plays his cards right.
Well, I did my best to present an eloquent case via e-mail on behalf of Erik. That I had to do so pisses me off, but at the same time, I'm happy to do it.
Me too.
Support to Crooked Timber's statement affirmed with full "real name" and letter sent to the three administrators in support of Erik Loomis. I don't have to like Erik Loomis' position on a *lot* of things to recognize a witch hunt when I see one. Good luck, Dr. Loomis. May you prevail.
Erik is a witch too?!
There's only one way to find out – bring me the scale and a duck!
I fired off a, not violent(!), but not exactly polite email to the addresses listed in the Crooked Timbers post.
Glenn Reynolds has decided that he is the bigger man.
I think you mean the bigger schmuck.
I would have said "schmuck," Sir, but I at all times eschew hurtful rhetoric.
He is indeed a jewel
I sent an email to the URI prez. His email was listed at CT. I signed my real name, etc.
If interested, you can see it on my blog.
I just sent the following email to URI:
Dean Brownell, Provost DeHays, and President Dooley,
I write to you as a proud alumnus of the University of Rhode Island (class of 1980), in regards to the statement the President Dooley has issues regarding the Erik Loomis' tweet regarding Wayne LaPierre.
Frankly, I expected more of the institution where I received such a fine education. After the horrific massacre in Newton CT, Erik Loomis said that he wanted "…LaPierre's head on a stick.". And then to distract the country from the real tragedy of people, especially school children, dying in a school setting, which is something I think should be of especial significance to the three of you, the pro-gun lobby began to make noise about Professor Loomis' words. In order to take the focus away from where it should be, they tried to make us all talk about someone supposedly calling for LaPierre's assassination.
I took many classes at URI where we learned the use of metaphor in literature, philosophical discussions, and rhetoric. It was clear that this was intended as a metaphor for holding Mr. LaPierre responsible for his actions.
To issue the statement that URI issued, shows only cowardice on the part of your administration. There was nothing about Professors Loomis's tweet that the University needed to get into in any way.
I am no less proud today of the education that I received at the University of Rhode Island. I am however, not proud at all of the actions of the school's current administration. You expect better of your students sirs and ma'am (or at least your predecessors did). I expect better of you.
Thank you for your time,
Peter Caswell, B.S.C.S. 1980.
I have written a letter in support of Erik and posted it here:
Dean Winnie Brownell, Provost Donald DeHays, President David Dooley,
I write in support of Prof. Erik Loomis. Prof. Loomis is a brilliant, insightful, and talented writer and thinker whose extra-academic pursuits have contributed to the greater flourishing of knowledge in our society. Over the last few days he has been targeted by a purely political smear campaign because he is an easy target for an extremist political movement raging against a moment of helplessness. I strongly encourage you, as leaders among the guardians of the flame of the academy and caretakers of a venerable institution of public learning, to support Prof. Loomis in this hour. While Loomis' extra-academic activities are not technically within the bounds of his duties as a professor, the erudition and incisiveness of his writings, his broad audience, and his critical acclaim bring credit upon the University of Rhode Island, and are precisely the emerging forms of increased engagement with a broader audience that the academy, especially the public academy, should be encouraging. Academic freedom is not a laissez-faire institution; it requires those charged with ensuring it to wield their shield proactively, to not merely acknowledge the security of intellectuals to pursue ideas but to vigorously affirm them, including and especially at difficult hours. I hope you will use this opportunity to do so.

You can train with a chain lift bar in many ways, just ask the old time lifters. This is a perfect piece of equipment for doing many different kinds of partial lifts. A bar of this type was standard for any serious gym as recently as 60 years ago... Yep. That was a long time before performance enhancing drugs, when guys like Bill Kennedy picked up 1500 pounds, daily. Thanks to organizations like the US All Round Association and the Old Time Barbell & Strongman Association, the chain lifts live on.
This is the bar used in the Tendon & Ligament Strength Training video #1. It has three hook in points, one in the center and two 10 inches off of center for balanced harness lifting. This bar is 7 feet long and can easily hold over 2000 pounds.
The bottom photo shows a heavy harness lift from the Tendon and Ligament Training video #1. This is only one of the many lifts that can be done with the Atomic Athletic Chain lift bar and they are all outstanding.
Heavy Hip Lifts build super power in the hips and thighs and can help get you ready for intense squatting and deadlifting
Atomic Tip: Using the Hand & Thigh Bar with the Chain Lift Bar for a Kennedy Lift will allow you to go much heavier than a Jefferson Lift (barbell Straddle Deadlift), as you can "set" the bar in the partial movement. While you certainly can use bumper plates, cast iron 100's are far more dense. Make sure you use accurate ones, or at least weigh them so you can get the weight right from one end of the bar to the other. Obviously, you want the chain lift bar to have a balanced load, without loose wobbly collars.

POLICE are hunting two pedestrians who attacked a motorist in the early hours of Sunday morning.
A 32-year-old driver was hospitalised after the incident, which took place in Gillingham between 3.40am and 3.50am.
He had slowed down for traffic lights at the junction of New Road and Newbury in the town when he heard someone – believed to be someone on foot - hit the back of his car.
The man, from Sherborne, got out of the vehicle and was assaulted by two men who punched him several times.
PC Jonathan Fewins, of Gillingham police, said: "The victim sustained cuts and bruises which required hospital treatment.
"The offenders were both wearing Gillingham Rugby Club ties and it is thought they had been seen at Legends Nightclub earlier on.
"I urge any witnesses to the incident to come forward as soon as possible.
"Anyone with information that can assist with the investigation is asked to contact Dorset Police in the strictest confidence."
Witnesses and anyone with information should call Dorset Police in confidence on 101, quoting incident number 27:95.
Alternatively, call the free and anonymous Crimestoppers line on 0800 555 111 where mobile phone tariffs may apply.

Both Tom Warren at the Verge and Mary Jo Foley at ZDNet have pegged March 27 as the day Microsoft releases its long-awaited version of Office for the iPad. Satya Nadella has scheduled a press conference in San Francisco on that date, promising an update on Microsoft's "mobile first, cloud first" strategy, and everybody and their brother in the tech press is now claiming Nadella will use the event as an opportunity to unveil Office for iPad.
If true, the event will be mostly notable for the fact that it precedes any announcements about a Metro Office. Over its long history, Microsoft has released several products for Apple's platforms before releasing them for Windows, but this switcheroo would mark a seismic change in the way Microsoft has long used Office to sell Windows.
I, for one, think that's great news -- it means Microsoft is waking up to the realities of the post-PC marketplace. But one nagging detail has me worried. Both Warren and Foley (and the hundreds of copy-and-paste folks who have echoed their words) say that "the iPad variant of Office will be similar to the iPhone version."
When I first read the pronouncement, I had to go back and read it again. Surely they must have that part wrong.
Porting Office for iPhone (more correctly known as Office Mobile for iPhone) over to the iPad should be a relatively quick and easy job; most iPhone apps move to iPad without much hassle. But surely Microsoft wouldn't release another version of Office similar to the one that InfoWorld's Galen Gruman calls "pathetically bad," would it?
Office for iPhone right now doesn't come close to any of the major office productivity apps on iPhone or iPad, and it makes a mockery of Office in general. Here are the high points, from Gruman:
- Word: No ability to apply styles, no search and replace, no track changes, no numbered or bulleted lists, no graphics
- Excel: No cell allignment or merge, no graphics
- PowerPoint: No edit in place, no layouts or graphics, no new slideshows (only editing)
There's no printing in any of the applications, either. The worst part is that many simple, straightforward, legit Office documents can't be edited in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. Office for iPhone simply says it can't edit them -- and gives zero explanation for why.
Perhaps Microsoft will announce a new version of Office Mobile, with many of those gaps plugged, and that new version of Office Mobile will include iPad support?
Please tell me that's the case. Many customers wouldn't mind paying for Office 365 to get Office for iPad. But at least give them something better than the free Apple iWork or Google Quickoffice.

Victim 9 files abuse claim vs. Sandusky, Penn St.
HARRISBURG — A young man who testified last year against Jerry Sandusky is suing the former coach and Penn State for what he says was nearly four years of sexual assaults while he was a child.
The lawsuit by John Doe 4, known as Victim 9 in court records, was filed Thursday in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court.
It claims he wouldn't have been victimized if university officials had reported Sandusky to police.
A university spokesman declined comment and a message left for a lawyer who's represented Sandusky in other civil litigation wasn't immediately returned.
The lawsuit asserts an assault and battery claim against Sandusky. The university is sued for negligence and recklessness, tortious conduct, misrepresentation and infliction of emotional distress.
Six of 45 counts for which Sandusky was convicted concern Victim 9.

LECHLADE CC are desperate to take the field on Saturday against Biddestone after completing just two of their opening four games due to the weather.
Lechlade won both to lead the Glos/Wilts Division but captain Joe Breet is aware of the havoc that can be caused as a consequence of games being lost while other teams' games go ahead.
"With the entire fixture list being lost last weekend no damage was done to anybody unlike a fortnight ago when Swindon managed to get a game in and win so picking up 10 points on us," said Breet.
"Westbury also picked up four valuable bonus points on us that week in an abandoned game."
Breet will be hoping the sun shines on Saturday when his side faces one of the division's most consistent teams.
Biddestone have never finished outside the top four – and have been runners-up on five occasions – since their promotion to the division in 2005.
Biddestone are led by Dwain Perry, one of the most prolific run-makers in the division.
Perry has scored more than 5,000 league runs since joining the club back in 2004.
Perry and last year's overseas signing Neil Bredenkamp are capable of posting big scores and Breet admitted: "We all know what Perry is capable of if we let him bat freely so we will be out to curtail and frustrate him as much as possible from the outset, along with Bredenkamp."
Lechlade will be without their leading wicket taker Michael Craigs who is unavailable due to work commitments and opening batsman Oli Thornley, who is preparing for end-of-year exams at university.
Lechlade will be bolstered, however, by the return of all-rounder Tris Hawkes from a finger injury sustained in the opening week at Gloucester City and batsman Freddie Martin who is available for the first time this season.

Corn Views: Building relationships a key part of farming
By Tom Haag,
In farming, working to build relationships is sometimes just as important as working in the fields.
My term as president of the Minnesota Corn Growers Association (MCGA) came to an end on October 1, and one of the things I'm most proud of is the relationships I've helped Minnesota's corn farmers build with people as far away as Taiwan and right here in Minnesota.
Earlier this month, MCGA welcomed a 20-member delegation from Taiwan to Minnesota. While in our state, the delegation signed a letter of intent to purchase $1.83 billion worth of U.S. corn and corn co-products in 2014-15. That's about 197 million bushels of corn and 500,000 metric tons of corn co-products like drieddistillers grains.
I felt a tremendous sense of pride as Governor Dayton, two members of the delegation and myself signed the letter of intent during a ceremony at the state capitol.
Corn that I grew on my farm in Eden Valley and that farmers throughout Minnesota grew on their own farms was going to make a difference in people's lives in a country more than 7,000 miles away.
All of this was happening because we, MCGA and our partners at the Minnesota Department of Agriculture and the Minnesota Soybean Growers Association, have made a commitment to building relationships that improve opportunities for Minnesota's farmers, both locally and throughout the world.Back in January, I traveled to Taiwan as part of a trade mission to encourage the Taiwanese to meet their growing demand for food and agricultural products with U.S. corn. Trade missions like this humanize the relationship farmers have with their trading partners, strengthening export markets for farmers and creating thousands of off-farm jobs right here in America.
Relationship building isn't limited to overseas trading partners, though. As farmers, it's more important now than it ever has been that we connect with consumers right here at home.
As more people become disconnected from the farm (fewer than 2 percent of the U.S. population farms), who's going to tell agriculture's story? It needs to be farmers. Because if farmers don't step up and connect with the consumers who buy the food, fiber and fuel grown by farmers, other people will, and they might not always tell an accurate story of what agriculture is all about.
Since this is my last column as MCGA president, I'm going to offer one final piece of advice to my fellow farmers: Make your voices heard.
People today want to know more about farming practices and where their food comes from. Embrace it.
Tell your neighbors about conservation practices on your farm. Reach out to non-farming community organizations about speaking opportunities. Participate in events that bring farmers and non-farmers together. Seize every opportunity possible to teach kids about farming. Talk to your elected officials about legislation that impacts what you do on the farm.
Sometimes it's not easy to climb off the tractor, change into a pair of khakis and collared shirt, and work on building relationships instead of growing corn. But it's necessary, whether you're building those relationships with someone from Taiwan or someone right in your hometown.

Fla. man gets 9 years for police chase
Published: Wednesday, February 20, 2013 at 9:03 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 20, 2013 at 9:03 a.m.
CLEARWATER, Fla. — A Florida judge revoked a man's driver's license for life and sentenced him to nine years in prison for leading police on a chase with his toddler in the back seat.
The July 9 crash ended when 22-year-old Derrick Deon Mims crashed a stolen sports utility vehicle into a public transportation bus. Police say the 2-year-old child wasn't injured but a passenger was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
The Tampa Bay Times reports Mims pleaded guilty Tuesday to multiple charges, including fleeing and eluding, DUI with property damage and child abuse.
The 14-minute chase prompted the Gulfport Police Department to tweak its policy on police chases.

A startup car company called Elio Motors is moving into the former General Motors plant in Shreveport, where it would build three-wheeled, low-price vehicles.
The deal was announced Thursday for Elio to take over part of the plant to assemble its unusual-looking car. The company says the two-seat vehicle averages 65 miles per gallon of gas and will sell for $6,800 when commercial production begins in mid-2014.
Phoenix-based Elio says it will hire 1,500 workers by late 2015, reviving a plant that once built pickup trucks and the commercial Hummer.
The plant has been closed since late August.
An industrial developer is buying the entire facility in conjunction with Elio and hopes to lease portions of the site to other tenants. Details of the purchase price and arrangement weren't disclosed.

World Cup: Knocked out Pereira refuses sub
Uruguay defender Alvaro Pereira continues playing despite calls to be subbed after a knee to the head left him lying on the pitch seemingly unconscious.PT1M7S http://www.smh.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-3ahs2 620 349 June 20, 2014
If Uruguay's Alvaro Pereira was playing in the NRL or AFL, he would have been rubbed out of his side's do-or-die game against England in the 61st minute.
With Uruguay leading 1-0, Pereira copped an accidental knee to the head from England's attacking midfielder Raheem Sterling.
Pereira, who plays in the Portuguese first division, lay motionless on the ground and appeared to be unconscious.

Hate seeing doctors overruled with Pereira coming back on. World soccer clueless on concussions. — Grant Wahl (@GrantWahl)
June 19, 2014
Team medical staff quickly attended to Pereira and made the call to take him from the field due to his head injury, but when Pereira realised he was going to be subbed off he protested that he was fit to continue.
Uruguay were already playing without first-choice defenders Diego Lugano and Maxi Pereira (no relation) and Pereira overuled team medical staff orders by physically pushing them away and running back on the field to finish the game.

@soccersportsmed .@MLS is doing a good job on educating players/coaches to respect med staff's decisions. @FIFAcom needs to do same. — Aaron Gray, M.D. (@MizzouSportsDoc)
June 19, 2014
The controversial incident and subsequent lack of authority that Uruguayan team doctors had, has sparked outrage on social media on Friday morning.
Many fans vented their frustration that FIFA are not not doing enough to protect players who suffer concussions during games.
It is understood however that FIFA does have an independent doctor at every venue for this World Cup who have the power to send players such as Pereira off the field if they suffer from symptoms of concussion.
Uruguay's doctor insisted Pereira come off. Player and coach overruled. That is irresponsible, culpable and disgraceful. #WaterMakesYouWeak — Arash Madani (@ArashMadani)
June 19, 2014
It comes after the NRL, this year, and the AFL, last year, implemented a new sideline concussion policy. In the NRL head trainers must check on a player involved in a "heavy contact incident" and remove him from the game if he displays one or more of the five symptoms outlined in their policy. In the AFL, a dazed player can be assessed for 20 minutes, undergoing an approved concussion test from his team's doctor. If the injured player is passed fit, he can return to the field of play. There is no rule automatically precluding a concussed player from not playing the following match.
However, under FIFA rules, if a player is replaced he cannot return to the field.
In Pereira's case, where the knock to the head was so blatant, the value of these doctors has been brought into question.
Pereira was clearly - clearly - out cold on his back needing to be revived. Now he's playing. That is just insane. — Sam Borden (@SamBorden)
June 19, 2014
As with other contact sports, fans of the world game believe the decision should be taken from the player or coach and be put in the hands of a professional with no affiliation to either side.
Pereira's blatant disregard for medical attention sets a dangerous precedent in a sport where head clashes are common when players jump for the ball in a contest.

This marketing communications agency is a real diamond, small, but perfectly formed and because of continued growth they know seek a Content Director to join their team.
In other agencies, in another time this role might have been titled PR Account Director, but this agency really needs this role to reflect the changing environment across communications. The role will involve managing all aspects of the company's PR, Social Media and Channel Monitoring services at Account Director level to a primarily b2b client base. You will assist with all PR strategy development for existing clients as well as providing strategic input and assistance with speculative tenders and pitches. Some of the agency's clients are quite traditional and take the route of case studies, releases, features etc, but others are much more driven by social media and the advantages that this brings to their business. You will manage a team of five people and be responsible for ensuring their continued development and understanding of new technologies, but you must also be prepared to be hands on and get on with 'doing' as well as 'managing'. Despite being small this agency was really quick to develop their digital and social media offering with great results for their clients, and know they're keen to help their more traditional clients to achieve great results this way.
To be considered for this role you must be happy to work within a b2b environment, although our client would love someone who also had consumer experience as their business is not exclusively trade and this might offer new insights. You will have worked within an agency environment at a senior level, although you may currently be inhouse and you must have a really good understanding of social media. You will want to work within a small agency environment, and to ensure that really longstanding clients who have loved working with this agency because of their knowhow, don't dare to leave them for fear of missing out on something new. In return our client can offer a fantastic working environment with a very low staff turnover, a supportive and nurturing attitude with some real ambition. For further information, or a confidential discussion please call Emma Tee on 0121 355 0955 or send your CV to email@example.com

But, I found something that appeals to the men...or does it.....Remeber back in the 70's when Joe Namath did a television commercial for pantyhose, proving that the right guy can sell just about anything. His ad was meant for women — but a whole new generation of hose and tights are aimed squarely at men.

Renovated Sabine Pass Battleground Re-Opening April 3
SABINE PASS, Texas — Sabine Pass Battleground State Park and Historic Site will be celebrating its grand re-opening April 3 after nearly a year of intensive construction and face-lifts.
The approximately $2 million project, which received funding through Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation and Grant Funding from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, has made structural and aesthetic improvements while maintaining the integrity of the historic site.
Along the waterfront, a crumbling two-lane boat ramp was replaced with a four-lane ramp and dock system. Two of the new lanes are American Disabilities Act-accessible and attached to a floating dock. To protect boaters from wave-action from passing ships, TPWD also created a new boat basin off the Sabine River/Ship Channel. TPWD also re-built 1,400 feet of bulkhead along the Sabine River/Ship Channel, adding handrails and making it wheelchair-accessible. Breaks in the rails provide fishing and overlook stations.
Visitors to the park will be able to appreciate its history with improved access to the historical information and monuments. The existing interpretive kiosk, redoubt (a Civil War replica of an earthen embankment for protection) and Dick Dowling monument have easier, ADA-accessible walkways and rest stops leading up to them. Additional ADA-picnic sites have been provided and three of the original 10 overnight camping areas have been divided into two larger ADA-accessible campsites.
The 57-acre Sabine Pass Battleground State Park and Historic Site now caters to campers, anglers, boaters and tourists interested in learning about Texas' wartime history. Back in 1863, however, it was the site of a fortress under attack during the Civil War, when Lt. Richard "Dick" Dowling stopped a Union armada from sailing up the Sabine River into Texas.
For more information about the park (located 15 miles south of Port Arthur) and construction, contact park manager Patrick Macouirk at (409) 971-2559 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Joanna Chadwick, Ashlea Mann and Alix Murray to Join the Lions
SAINT LEO, Fla. – Women's Lacrosse Coach Lesley Graham has announced the addition of a trio of midfielders that will be donning the Saint Leo uniform during the 2011-12 inaugural season. This trio of Joanna Chadwick, Alix Murray and Ashlea Mann all hail from the sunshine state.
Continuing her relentless pursuit in building the school's first women's lacrosse team, and after the announcement of the program in October, Graham hit the recruiting trail, announcing her group of attackers earlier this summer. Out of the eight commitments, her midfielders all come to Saint Leo as Florida natives, one from Tampa, another from Orlando and the final one from Miami.
Joanna Chadwick
5-6 | Midfielder
Tampa, Fla.
Tampa Catholic High School | Wolfpack
Joanna Chadwick joins Saint Leo after helping push Tampa Catholic to a State Championship appearance during her senior season, one where she served as captain. Developing a pedigree for winning, Chadwick and the Crusaders posted a perfect regular season record (13-0) her senior year and claimed Region and District Championships.
Earning defensive MVP honors, she started her high school lacrosse career on the right foot with a Rookie of the Year honor. Participating in both Honors and AP classes at TC, the Tampa native was also named an All-American Scholar, solidifying her dual threats on the field and in the classroom.
Coach Graham's Thoughts – "Joanna will bring experience, tenacity and intelligence to the building of Saint Leo lacrosse. A local standout, both in the classroom and on the field, I am looking forward to expanding her talent at the collegiate level."
Ashlea Mann
5-8 | Midfielder
Miami, Fla.
South Fork High School | Barefoot Lacrosse
Ashlea Mann comes to Saint Leo from a developing program in South Florida. During her senior season she averaged three goals and three assists a game, totaling 32 tallies during the year. In the only two years of the program's existence, she served as team captain and was a starter.
Playing for a more-established club lacrosse team, Mann's numbers remained largely unchanged as she helped Barefoot Lacrosse to a runner-up finish at the annual Heat Wave Tournament. A multi-sport athlete, she was also a varsity member of her high school's girls soccer program.
Coach Graham's Thoughts – "Ashlea's size and athleticism is a definite plus at the collegiate level. I am looking to her to dominate from the draw circle to both the offensive and defensive ends. Her experiences with a young program will be instrumental in developing the team spirit at Saint Leo."
Alix Murray
5-7 | Midfielder
Orlando, Fla.
Boone High School | RC Elite
Alix Murray remains close to home after traveling to the Saint Leo campus from Orlando where she was a member a district-finalist Boone High School team. Scoring 40 goals during 2010-11, she also notched 17 assists and 44 groundballs from her midfield spot.
A laundry list of awards, Murray was named the program's MVP in 2011 after starting her career as the Rookie of the Year at Boone. She was also a member of the Metro Team in 2011.
Coach Graham's Thoughts – "Alix has a great sense of the field, with both an offensive vision for play making and a defensive insight to shutting down attacks. I am looking for her consistency on the field to set the tempo of play."
Graham continued, "I am excited to showcase Florida talent at the collegiate level with the triple threat of Joanna, Ashlea and Alix."
All three, in addition to the group announced in June, will begin their Saint Leo career's when classes begin in late August.

A PROJECT to revamp hospitals in Worcestershire has been given the go-ahead to go out to consultation.
The Future of Acute Hospital Services in Worcestershire project has won approval from NHS England to progress to a formal assurance panel in July.
The ambitious scheme involves a number of changes to emergency care in the county, including taking the most seriously unwell patients to Worcestershire Royal Hospital and setting up a midwife-led maternity unit at the Alexandra Hospital in Redditch.
Independent chairman of the Future of Acute Hospitals in Worcestershire programme board Jo Newton said a great deal of progress had been made over the past few months.
"Clinicians across the county have worked hard to produce robust clinical models which give us a blueprint for the future of hospital care in Worcestershire for many years to come," she said.
The 12-week public consultation into the plans is scheduled to start in September and patients in South Warwickshire, Herefordshire, Solihull and Birmingham are expected to be included.

How To Apply Self-Tanner
Tip of the day: 3 steps to a healthy glow.
-Ricky Croft
We all love the sun-kissed tan look. Not many of us have the time to sit in the sun all day, and even so, baking can lead to premature aging, sun burn and other ills. Self-tanning is a safe and fast alternative. However, no one wants to look orange or streaky, Ricky Croft, the founder of Mystic Tan shares his expertise on how you can look tantastic at home. Follow his three steps to creating a tan that'll make everyone think you snuck off to a tropical paradise.
If you are self-tanning for the first time before a big event, always test it out two weeks prior to the event so that you are completely comfortable with the end results. Never play a guessing game before a big occasion! When you learn your skin's response to color, you will know your limits. People always tend to go towards the darker shades. Remember, if you want to be darker, simply re-apply!
Read How to Create Smokey Eyes for Day or Night
1. The Day Before:
Before you tan, you have to prep your skin. Shave the day or night before applying self tanner. If you are going to moisturize your skin, be careful of moisturizers that contain oil, as skin won't be receptive to the tanning formula if you've used an oil-based formula. Then remove all dead skin cells by sloughing off with an exfoliator in the shower. This allows you to start with a completely even palette- your skin. By starting with an even base, you will get an even tan that's free of streaking.
H20 Sea Marine body scrub ($18.50, h20plus.com)
2. Application.
To prevent discolored nails apply a petroleum based product to both the cuticles and nail beds to avoid discoloration. Use the self-tanner sparingly around rough and dry areas (such as knees, elbows and ankles) as these areas tend to darken more quickly and unevenly.
Do not rush the process as full color benefits won't take place until at least twelve hours after you've applied the self-tanner. Wait a full day before you judge your tan and reapply a lotion or spray if you want to go darker or even out your tan. You might want to try Mystic Tan Build Sunless Tanning Lotion or Spray ($38, beauty.com) to the entire body.
3. Preserve the tan.
After achieving your desired shade and use an oil-free moisturizer so that your skin remains hydrated. A rule of thumb on moisturizers is that if it leaves a residue on your skin or does not absorb quickly, it may impede the tanning process. Wait a day after the application to shave your legs to ensure that the tan has settled onto your skin. To keep the glow going, you will need to re-apply the self-tanner 4- 6 days after the initial application. If you use a daily moisturizer with a hint of color like the Mystic Tan Glow SPF Daily Moisturizer ($29, Sephora.com) will help to preserve your tan in between applications.
Tell us: Have you used a self-tanner?
Ricky Croft is the founder and Vice President of Mystic Tan.

An Australian billionaire wants to see the Titanic complete its failed maiden voyage. He's unveiled blueprints for a new version of the ill-fated ocean liner, with plans to set sail in 2016.
You might wonder if passengers would be superstitious about boarding a ship whose original version sank to the bottom of the North Atlantic on April 15, 1912, taking with it more than 1,500 people. In fact, 40,000 potential passengers have expressed interest in tickets, according to Clive Palmer, the billionaire who is funding construction.
There is no published price for tickets, but Palmer says the new Titanic will have all the luxury amenities of the original. It will retrace the original voyage from Southampton, England, to New York.
Palmer made his fortune in coal and real estate. He told the Associated Press that the appeal of the ship remains strong. "The Titanic is about the things we've got in common," he said. "It links three continents."
The ship will be built in China and is being described as "the safest cruise ship in the world." But, as the world now knows, no ship is unsinkable. However, the iceberg that took down the original Titanic is less likely to be a problem, Palmer notes. "One of the benefits of global warming is there hasn't been as many icebergs in the North Atlantic these days."
Would you be superstitious about taking a voyage on a new Titanic?

The 4 March, 2007, edition of the daily Svenska Dagbladet, published in Sweden, carried a report regarding the Atlas of Creation written by Adnan Oktar under the pen-name Harun Yahya. The report, by Carl-Johan Bilkenroth, described the Atlas as a "magnificent work that challenges Darwin." It contained the following expressions:
"At a time when millions of e-mails can travel all over the world at a very low cost, a group of Islamic creationists have chosen the exact opposite method… They are now printing books and sending them to many scientists, writers and academic staff in Europe. One of the places to which this book has been sent is the Swedish daily Dagbladet…
This magnificent 768-page, colored, 5-kg book, proposes that the creatures in the fossil record never underwent evolution, that no species has changed at all over millions of years, and that Darwinism has therefore collapsed."

Swoon-worthy only begins to describe how much I love this style shoot. Not only is it using THE color of the year, Tangerine Tango, but the setting is stunning and romantic. The color palette is a direct compliment to the red stone mountains and arid landscape. The florals combined with white china and vases create a whimsical modern look I just love! Couple all of that together with a fabulous seating area for cocktails, a circular ceremony, and a beautiful couple – done! Love love love! A special thanks to Gideon Photography for sharing!
And the amazing video to accompany the photos:

Did you know?
Kaizer Chiefs owner, Kaizer Motaung, was selected for the North American Soccer League All Star team in 1975.
The Soweto Derby between Chiefs vs Pirates makes for one of the biggest derby matches in the world. Whenever there is an imminent clash between the two soccer giants, the excitement on the streets of Soweto and townships as far as Gugulethu in Cape Town are abuzz with speculation.
The Soweto football derby always attracts a full house be it at Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg or the Absa Stadium in Durban. Both Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates boast fans all over the country and any match involving the two teams seldom has empty seats.
In November 2007, on the day before the 2010 FIFA World CupTM draw in Durban, the Kaizer Chiefs vs Pirates soccer match at the ABSA Stadium in Durban was broadcast live to thousands of television viewers across Africa and Europe, a first for South African football.
Moroka Swallows, another soccer team from Soweto, enjoys a relatively smaller support base than Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates. The 'Dube Birds' who run under the catchy phrase 'Don't follow me, follow the Birds', is one of the oldest teams in South Africa. The soccer club was formed in 1971 and the team became the first-ever South African soccer team to register as a public company. It was also the first club to wear a full uniform in 1954.
A Soweto football derby between Moroka Swallows and either Kaizer Chiefs or Orlando Pirates also draws much talk. The rivalry between Swallows and the two Soweto teams, however, is not as fierce but the games are equally interesting.
The rivalry between the three Soweto soccer teams hasn't come up with a clear winner − yet. The battle for supremacy in Soweto has been raging for years with each Soweto Derby producing a different winner almost every time.
