Participants will make a piece of sculpture working directly with wax, vent and sprew, make an investment mould and cast their own piece on the final day to make a finished bronze.
On this course, you will get to make and pour one, sometimes two, moulds, depending upon their size and complexity. Generally, a beginner will come away with one (or two) bronze(s) (for example a 6" statue or axe head). You may not have time to file and clean two, but this can be done in your own time. Finished bronzes can then be patinated on the Patination Workshop. More

Rachel Held Evans, who calls herself a feminist Christian, spent the last year living "biblically" -- and then wrote a book about her experience. "What does that mean," you ask? Well, you know that bit in the bible about leaving your parents to go serve and obey your husband? That's what she did, literally, for a year.
Basically, she took the bible and made a mockery of the entire thing. Whether she meant to or not. Though, I don't think you can make a complete joke of something without intent. I think her little "experiment" was total crap.
During what Evans refers to as "The Womanhood Project," she sewed her own clothes, grew her hair out long, lived outside in a tent during menstruation, called her husband "Master," and sat alone on the roof of her house in a time-out after deciding her behavior was particularly unbecoming. Is she saying that the only way to be biblical is to pretend we are in the dark ages? I'm confused. Did she cut electricity out of her life as a penance too? Maybe she should ... for mocking the bible. Seems fair.
Here's my issue -- isn't it better to just be honest about your beliefs in the first place? I may not be living biblically, but I am living honestly. I'm not so sure the same can be said for Evans. She appears to be poking fun with her book, though she vehemently denies that she is. But you don't make a spectacle, write a book, and make videos in a "poking fun" manner if you are taking a challenge seriously. Perhaps Mrs. Evans just sat on the roof and pitched tents during her period as an excuse to get away from her family -- for some peace and quiet. Or maybe, I suspect, she really just did it for attention and to sell a book. Either way, it seems wrong to me.
I had that submissive language removed from my, vows because I am not a dog nor am I a maid and I don't submit or serve anyone. I took them out because I don't believe in it. Sure I could have left it in there and been all sarcastic when I took my wedding vows just to make the point -- but then I would be lying.
Do you think Rachel's living "biblically" for a year was a ridiculous experiment?

I don't think she did it to poke fun at the Bible. I think she meant to show that while the Bible has its place in our lives and belief system (a very important place) it is impossible to follow it to the letter. Perhaps it was an effort to show how some people pick and choose parts of the Bible to follow while not living up to the overall message of faith, hope, and love (the greatest of these is love).
I think your point of view is wrong. I don't think she was mocking it at all.
Why can't people interpret the Bible in whatever way they please?
I was raised in a strict Christian home. Maybe not as strict as this woman took it, but it was still very strict with dress and male/female interaction. I am now a Pagan after realising that I didn't really believe what the bible said or the way people generally tend to pick and choose what they want to go by. If you are going to go by a book, you should at least go by the entire thing, not just the parts you like. From the sounds of it, this woman was goign by what the old testament says. Whether she was doing it to poke fun or not is a moot point. It goes to show if you want to use one part of the OT, then you should go by all of it.

ameruu replied to your post: i… don't really like kakashi
He favored sasuke too much, and it seemed like he forgot he had Naruto and Sakura as his students as well. Naruto and Sakura didn't learn anything from him (that I remember) other than how to climb a tree, and even then Sakura was far ahead - and he didn't even train her past that. He sent her to go help on the bridge with tazuna. Then, after the prelim chuunin exam, he completely dropped naruto to go and train sasuke's speed/teach chidori. Naruto and sakura were ignored while he focused on sasuke and to be honest, it didn't feel like kakashi was Naruto's sensei at all - Jiraiya was more of that to him, a father and a teacher. Kakashi was just… there. Not to mention kakashi is always late to training - he doesn't care. He abandoned his students - isn't his/obito's phrase supposed to be "those who abandon their comrades are scum"
and so he is
He lost my respect a long time ago

Moe & Ryan's Vintage Sunset Inspired Home
House Call
Name: Moe Perez and Ryan James
Location: Oakland Hills, Oakland, California
When my spouse and I came across this small house with big views in 2007, we loved the open floor plan and the fact that the house, built in 1949 had only 2 previous owners. After purchasing the house and closing costs were covered on our 'new' home, we were left with a very limited budget.
Not having money for a contractor or professional decorating advice, we opted to do all the work ourselves, one room at a time. We were inspired by the vintage Sunset Books and House Beautiful magazines from the 1950's and 60's that we had found at the local library and at garage sales.
The wall colors and furniture placements were based on the spacious 'open feeling' that both publications seemed to be promoting at the time. All the furniture was acquired through craigslist and some of it has been reupholstered with the help of some friends of ours in the area. The exterior paint and garden, done by us as well, were completed in 2009. The only thing we contracted out was a much needed skylight in the bathroom- neither of us were comfortable cutting a hole in the ceiling by ourselves.
We couldn't have done it without those inspirational Sunset Books or craigslist.....it saved us a bundle! People in the neighborhood always compliment us on how our home feels of another era.
Thanks, Moe & Ryan!

that's a great sink and vanity.
Your place is beautiful. Where did you find the bathroom sink and vanity. I love them!
I want your house.
Wow. The whole thing is great. Your kitchen is darling and I'm sure you really enjoy your yard. Good job.
beautiful! Love the landscaping.
So warm and beautiful....
Gorgeous. The sink and vanity are from the Ikea Lillangen series. I just installed them in my own master bath.
It looks professional to me. You really decorated for the house instead of trying to change it's character. I love the kitchen. Very well done.
Love it! Where can I find those lollipop outdoor lights?
Fantastic job!
All the more so since you did virtually everything yourself with the exception of the skylight installation. I wouldn't feel comfortable tackling that one myself either.
Great job. The living room couch looks amazing, even from the back. Lots of character.
Congratulations, it's a lovely home; I particularly love the landscaping.
I know Moe/Ryan said he got the furniture on Craigslist, but can anyone otherwise identify the couch? I am looking for something sleek and swoopy like that. (Is it comfortable?)
so warm and inviting!
I would never, ever have thought to put that mirror with the horizontal "brick" frame design on top of a wall of differing brick. But I absolutely adore it--and the rest of the house, too!
so.. when can you move out?
oh, and that mirror over the fireplace made me drool :)
Thanks everyone.....Yes, the sink is from the Ikea Lillangen series. It was just installed 2 weeks ago. It is really cool, but folks with children might want to install a back splash as the sink can spatter water when the pressure is turned on full blast.
for tasterspoon: the sofa was craigslist, but I was told that the original owner bought it in Copenhagen. We have yet to find out more ourselves. Below is a similar sofa that came up yesterday on craigslist. I hope this helps.
Thanks again, you all made us feel happy about our handiwork!
Moe and Ryan
Oops. 2 more things. The sofa is comfortable.....
For mommapudding: lollipop light toppers were found at home depot. They were about $25.00
Moe and Ryan : )
Lovely, warm and cozy, if I visited I may never leave.
Thanks for the tip! We're getting out the measuring tape and checking it out. (Yours is still nicer!)
So much to love -
I hope you're not planning on "updating" the kitchen because it's perfect just the way it is!
Your place looks great. The nice furniture you have doesn't hurt either. :-)
To bepsf:
We're glad you like the kitchen as it is now........ we aimed to get the kitchen to look as close to the period as possible with getting too kitschy.
The Original Kitchen was 'updated' by the second owner in 1982 using all the trends popular at that time. When we found it, it had a large side by side bisque refrigerator, stainless steel stove with a white over -the- range microwave, beige tile with brown grout on the countertops that sealed in a pass-through to the living room, peach colored walls and a patterned linoleum floor. Luckily, the original cabinets were left intact. We really wanted to reopen the pass-through....so that meant removing the tile counter-tops and backsplash that was placed over the formica counter and on the walls in the 80's.
So what you see now is what we did based on our desire to keep within style of the house's era. (Armstrong floor tiles, white appliances, laminate countertops etc ). Our next door neighbor also helped by remembering what it looked like back in the mid 50's.
Moe and Ryan
Mid-c modern done right!
Stunning stunning. I'm shocked that the kitchen was restored and not completely original, it fits perfectly and I love the skylights. And just the peek of that couch is making me drool.
lovely! house tour please!!
This might be my favorite home I've ever seen featured on Apartment Therapy! So warm, inviting and sumptuous. I can't believe this was all DIY--so impressive and inspirational.
Bravo, Moe and Ryan! You totally captured that vintage Sunset vibe. I have lots of old Sunset books myself. Your home is lovely and the result looks effortless, though I'm sure it was a lot of work.
Absolutely love this place. Wish there was a full tour.
My only nitpick is that your aquarium looks overstocked. Hard to say though without seeing the full thing.
Thanks Alphonse......We'll check to see if AT will pursue a full tour. We have before photos that we could share with them.
Worry not about the little swimmers. The aquarium is 90 gallons, so only a little more than half the tank made it into the photograph. The fish were clustered in the corner area since they had just been fed. (In an earlier photo they were completely absent, so we had to tempt them into the shot with a little flake food.)
Moe and Rye
Drool! Where did you get those window treatments?
really beautiful!!! i'm planning to install a lillangen sink - can you tell me whether your faucet is ikea? i'm wondering if it will be a problem to install a single hole non-ikea faucet - any idea? thanks. great work!
Hey Joon:
Yup the faucet is Ikea too - although it seemed to be about kinda cramp in regards to the mounting room - a different single hole faucet might work, although the water lines provided by Ikea were very compact... but good luck!
Hey Beesee,
The window dressings were clearance bamboo match sticks rolls from Home Depot - the dressings for the entire house totalled about 100 bucks.
Very lovely. I grew up in an Eichler in the Bay Area...your place feels a bit like that though cozier.
Could you share what neighborhood in Oakland this is?
Re: coconut hill's question.
Our home is in the Lincoln Highlands section of the Oakland hills.
: )
I LOVE this place, and I want to see a full house tour. All of the furnishings and fixtures fit together harmoniously in a gorgeous golden glow. What I want to know is: Where did you purchase that hanging "partition" next to the globe on that perfect table/desk?
Thanks coarsetalk:
When we moved in we had a cool shutter style floor standing room divider that didn't quite fit in the room. We browsed the internet and when we saw the hanging partition online we laughed and thought we'd give it a try. We swapped out our other one on craigslist and got this one to replace it. It's very versatile and fun and not too pricey.
link below:
The decor is so perfect for this house that it's not fair. And that sofa is spectacular.
Not fair for grimy-apartment renters like me, of course.
full house tour PLEASE!!!
Moe and Ryan... I love it! But I need more shots of that gorgeous living room... I want to to devour all of the details! Full house tour please!
@ moeryan
90 gallons. Damn, I'm even more jealous of this place now.
Cool space! I hope to see a full house tour of your home. Left me wanting more!!
The living space with the fireplace is so inviting. Love the colors and the white sofa is a very interesting touch. Some of these colors are at the top of the trends list right now. Good job! Would be great to see more photos of the home. The exterior looks very nice as well.
I love your house! I would love to see more.
Love your house too! Would also love to see more. Also wondering what kind of floor is in your bathroom. I love the color. Thanks.
Thanks to everyone for their kind comments.
for jvjones13: The flooring was a marmoleum remnant that we got on clearance at a local flooring store. Since our bathroom was small, we found a piece of a leftover roll that fit. We like it and it is very durable.
This is quite stunning. Thanks for sharing.
I'm surprised at AT offering only a house call for such a great home so sensitively done yet there are other homes really not as exciting regularly getting the full visit. And isn't just about MCM ...
Why is that?
Perfect kitchen . . .

Aside from the formula for Coca-Cola, no pop culture secret has been more difficult to replicate than Grand Theft Auto's recipe for open-ended videogaming thuggery. A few have had moderate RC Cola-level acceptance, but most have been Crystal Pepsi-sized failures. Finally, however, we have a winner. Saints Row is the Pepsi to GTA's Coke.
Emulating GTA with near-perfect precision - a subversive, satirical sense of humor is the only thing lacking - Saints Row drops your custom-created anti-hero into the fictional city of Stilwater, a seedy metropolis whose four gangs (the Carnales, Vice Kings, Westside Rollerz, and your 3rd Street Saints) vie for control over the town's boroughs.
Each gang has its own mini story arc, and defeating each one requires you to complete a series of missions. They'll range from the usual FedEx-style delivery tasks that run you around the city to more challenging jobs, such as shooting down a rival's private jet before it has a chance to take off... while being shot at by rocket launcher-toting gangsters and pursuing cars.
The missions are, for the most part, fairly enjoyable, but a frustrating handful are aggravated by the massive distances you'll need to travel to reach them. It's not so bad driving for five minutes across the entire city to reach your destination, but when a particularly troublesome task makes you retry the commute several times, you'll be more than ready to shoot someone. A mid-mission checkpoint would have gone a long way towards easing the pain.
Unfortunately, you cannot simply play through the story - you're required to complete reputation meter-filling activities scattered around Stilwater before you can tackle the next plot-driving mission. These activities include everything from GTA's "steal the cars on this list" heists to shotgun-riding drug trafficking jobs to its most creative mini-games: insurance fraud and mayhem.
Each puts Row's stellar Havok physics system to comic use. For insurance fraud, you'll use the controller's left and right triggers to make your avatar's body go limp, allowing you to throw yourself in front of moving cars. You'll earn fraud money based on distance hurtled, witnesses present, etc. Mayhem missions gift you with unlimited ammunition for either your shotgun, automatic rifle or (if you're lucky) rocket launcher and challenges you to cause as much property damage as possible within a certain time limit. Offing group of pedestrians, shooting passing drivers through their windshields and blowing up cars - then watching said vehicles spit out their flaming doors, fenders and occupants - is as satisfying as it is hilarious.
You'll probably find the latter portion of the campaign a bit tedious; you'll likely have picked out your few favorite mission styles and played them to death by the latter stages of the game, but the reputation meter must be filled. Expect on 20 to 25 hours of story-based gameplay, even after the thrill is gone.
Once you've completed the story, however, Saints Row offers several multiplayer modes for up to 12 players. Sadly, however, the potential for open-world multiplayer action goes largely unfulfilled, as most of the modes pit the teams against each other on small, custom maps that give you no opportunity to run free in Stilwater. Only "Blinged Out Ride," in which your team attempts to collect money in order to upgrade and transport its car around the map before the opposition does, even lets a handful of players pile into a car and go to war with human enemies.
Still, Saints Row gets almost everything right that its fellow contenders for the Grand Theft Auto throne could not. It looks good, plays great, offers plenty to do and it's even funny at times - though in a much cruder way than GTA's more sly, subversively socially relevant sense of humor. While no one may ever crack the GTA Coca-Cola code, Saints Row proves that there's plenty of room in the market for the Pepsis of the world too.

I don't understand your point, Rich! Sure poor pit stops will cost you, don't blame the track. And yes you can gain positions on the track, many were gained and lost during the last quarter of the race. A good for instance is the driver I follow, D.R. He lost 13 positions on his next to last pit stop which put him in 26th position if my memory serves me right and he finished 13th. So don't blame the cookie cutter tracks because that's not the real reason. And the fans aren't lost because of them, hummm a full house yesterday!! The fans are lost because of recent years NASCAR decisions plus the economy.
« Fantasy picks and race winner for the Kobalt Tools 400 in Vegas | Main | Kenseth being added to a number of enemy lists »
Too many races won in the pits rather than on track on cookie cutters
By admin | March 6, 2011
By Richard Allen
NASCAR went into Las Vegas with a number of feel good stories having been written during the first two weeks of the season. And to an extent, that continued this weekend. Mark Martin winning and Danica Patrick finishing in the top-5 of the Nationwide race certainly offered the potential for more positivism. A solid run on Sunday for Dale Earnhardt, Jr. provided hope to his legions of fans as well.
However, there was one very important issue in the Sprint Cup race that looked far too similar to the last couple of years. One of the biggest complaints about NASCAR from disgruntled fans has centered around the racing, or lack thereof, on the so called cookie cutter tracks. During the second half of Sunday's Kobalt Tools 400 there was far too little exchanging of positions on the track, and most of those resulted from double-file restarts. Just about the only time a spot within the top-10 changed hands over the last 200 miles of competition was on pit road.
Tony Stewart clearly had the fastest car in Las Vegas but was cited for dragging equipment out of his pit box and forced to serve a drive through penalty on pit road which essentially placed him at the back of the pack.
Stewart seemingly overcame his issues later in the race when a two tire pit stop placed back at the front of the field. But with his left side tires feeling the strain of multiple laps, his crew opted to change four tires on their final stop. With everyone else changing two tires the #14 car came out of the pits in 3rd place.
It would have seemed logical to think that with a faster car and fresher tires than the competition Stewart would work his way back to the lead. However, that was not to be. As is so often the case on these 1.5-2 mile tracks, Stewart's car ran into the dreaded 'wall of air' behind other cars and was locked in place.
There are fourteen races on this year's Sprint Cup schedule set to be run on tracks of the 1.5-2 mile dimension. If the racing seen on Sunday is any indication of what lies ahead for the remaining thirteen trips to these type venues, the feel good stories of the early season will be lost in a sea of complaints.
Stewart, Matt Kenseth, Trevor Bayne, Kevin Harvick and Jeff Burton all fell back in the pack due to either an unscheduled pit stop or some sort of mishap on pit road. None of these cars was able to move back up because passing was essentially nonexistent within the top-10 or even top-15 during the race's second half.
Now make no mistake, I am not blaming the troubles of these drivers on bad pit calls. If there is something worthy of penalty then punishment should be administered. I am using the drivers mentioned above to point out that even the best cars on the track could not pass when they fell back in traffic.
It seems as though races on this sort of track are almost entirely decided on pit road. On-track action has become secondary to what happens when cars are sitting still. Green flag runs on the cookie cutters have become stints in between the next trip to pit road in which there will be an opportunity for exchange of positions.
It's no wonder drivers get so upset with pit crews after a poor stop. Positions lost cannot be regained on the track. That's bad for the drivers, the pit crews, and most of all, the fans.

Rich's point is well made. This has been going on since the introduction of the COT and is the natural result of having a spec series, where everybody is using the same equipment. if everybody is "equal", how can it be otherwise? Think about it, if every car has to meet a common template, and use the same gear, transmission, etc. what would make one faster than another?
It wont change until the cars reflect the differences between the manufactures design. And I'm not holding my breath for that to happen.

For the most part I agree, I don't really enjoy the 1.5 - 2 mile tracks that NASCAR races on, mostly due to a lack of action. I much prefer the short track racing. Just wanted to note however, Tony Stewart could not catch Carl Edwards because Carl stopped for two tires and Tony took 4. The difference in the pit stops was 7 seconds. It wasn't because Tony ran into a wall of air that he couldn't catch Carl, he had just given up a ton of time and there wasn't enough time to make it back. Tires weren't that much of an advantage yesterday, thats why two tires worked so well, old tires weren't giving that much up.
Not sure what series that you are watching, but as much as you want to call it a spec series, it isn't. Different engines, different noses as per manufacturer, and different setups makes it not a spec series. Sometimes the rear gear is mandated, and sometimes there is a selection of 2 or 3 gears to chose from. Horsepower and handling is what makes one car faster than another.
The templates of the COT are new, but it isn't a different concept. Prior to the COT, the Ford, Chev & Dodge cars all had to conform to brand specific 'aero equal' templates. You'll have to go back to the seventies to find the type of stock car racing that you're looking for.

I saw this coming when they went from a 23 gallon fuel tank to a 18 gallon fuel tank. When most of the passes are in the pits, well, that's the pits.

Steve Says:
March 8th, 2011 at 4:18 pm
Kevin, the Cup cars do not have different noses from each other. They have a different nose than last year but they are all the same. You are thinking of the NW series with the new manufacturer nose that looks different.
I do agree with you on one of your points but for a different reason. The racing at these tracks was the same boring follow the leader action we saw Sunday with the old car too, so I think its more the race track setup that is making the racing unwatchable. Stock cars on an Indy Car track does not work.
I don't care how many people you can fit in a grandstand at a mile and a half track. You can fit just as many at short tracks as well. They don't have enough people to fill all those seats anyway.

2) The way their heads always find the right spot your shoulder.
How had he gotten roped into this? Kurama had invited Kagome over with the intention of having a nice day indoors together.
Ordering pizza, watching a movie, snuggling on the couch…that sounded like a great plan!
The pizza wasn't an issue, it had been delicious. And they were comfortable together on the couch. But this was the last time that he let her choose the movie…
He found himself biting back another sigh as the characters on screen reconciled after their angst-ridden fight.
But Kagome openly sighed in contentment as she leaned further into him.
Kurama suddenly began wondering if Kagome knew of another movie for them to watch after this.

About ARTtube
ARTtube is the online video channel for art and design by museums in the Netherlands and Belgium.
The Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, M HKA in Antwerp, Gemeentemuseum The Hague, De Pont in Tilburg and Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam will now be publishing videos on ARTtube about art and design. The videos, which are all in high quality, will generally be produced by the museums themselves, based on their own expertise.
ARTtube includes exceptional interviews with reputable artists and designers, plus fascinating portraits of inspirational makers. The museums offer a peep behind the scenes - for example, setting up an exhibition or restoring works of art - and also give the word to curators and restorers. Fiction and experimentation are also included, for example in the Boijmans TV series and in a number of unusual animation and remix films.
The five museums will develop ARTtube further in the coming years. The ambition is to attract half a million visitors per year by 2014. The museums are going to approach this public in a variety of ways: via website, social media, digital television and screens in the public space.

The commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan says an American church's plan to burn Korans on September 11 could endanger U.S. troops and damage the overall war effort in that country.
General David Petraeus warned Tuesday that the planned burning of the Muslim holy book "is precisely the kind of action the Taliban would exploit for propaganda purposes." He said it could stoke anti-U.S. sentiment not only in Afghanistan, but across the Muslim world.
The Dove World Outreach Center, a small evangelical church in the southeastern U.S. state of Florida, says it plans to burn copies of the Koran to mark the anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks. The church has been denied a government permit to conduct the burning, but has vowed to go ahead with it anyway.
This country's founding principles express the most benevolent and hopeful aspirations for a civil society. As examples, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal," and "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," are declarations that separate the United States from even other Western democracies. They are also principles of which most of us are justly proud.
As Americans, we like to think that our country is exceptional partly because of those ideals. But, at the moment, we're having a hard time living up to them. Indeed, some of the people most enamored of the notion of American exceptionalism are among those least committed to the principles of individual freedoms — at least for those who are somehow a bit different in worship or accent.
(During the Bush years, many conservatives liked to say that jihadists attacked us on 9/11 because they "hate our freedoms." Sometimes, we don't like them much, either.)
Take the current plight of American Muslims, who are bearing the blunt of ugly prejudices and nativism. From the NYT:
For nine years after the attacks of Sept. 11, many American Muslims made concerted efforts to build relationships with non-Muslims, to make it clear they abhor terrorism, to educate people about Islam and to participate in interfaith service projects. They took satisfaction in the observations by many scholars that Muslims in America were more successful and assimilated than Muslims in Europe.
Now, many of those same Muslims say that all of those years of work are being rapidly undone by the fierce opposition to a Muslim cultural center near ground zero that has unleashed a torrent of anti-Muslim sentiments and a spate of vandalism. The knifing of a Muslim cab driver in New York City has also alarmed many American Muslims.
"We worry: Will we ever be really completely accepted in American society?" said Dr. Ferhan Asghar, an orthopedic spine surgeon in Cincinnati and the father of two young girls. "In no other country could we have such freedoms — that's why so many Muslims choose to make this country their own. But we do wonder whether it will get to the point where people don't want Muslims here anymore."
Eboo Patel, a founder and director of Interfaith Youth Core, a Chicago-based community service program that tries to reduce religious conflict, said, "I am more scared than I've ever been — more scared than I was after Sept. 11."
That was a refrain echoed by many American Muslims in interviews last week. They said they were scared not as much for their safety as to learn that the suspicion, ignorance and even hatred of Muslims is so widespread. This is not the trajectory toward integration and acceptance that Muslims thought they were on.
Some American Muslims said they were especially on edge as the anniversary of 9/11 approaches. The pastor of a small church in Florida has promised to burn a pile of Korans that day. Muslim leaders are telling their followers that the stunt has been widely condemned by Christian and other religious groups and should be ignored. But they said some young American Muslims were questioning how they could simply sit by and watch the promised desecration.
They liken their situation to that of other scapegoats in American history: Irish Roman Catholics before the nativist riots in the 1800s, the Japanese before they were put in internment camps during World War II.
I used to think that Americans had learned the lessons of history well enough that we would not repeat those ugly periods of prejudice and resentment. I was wrong.

It would appear that this 'christian' nation appears to
almost condone the stoning of adulteresses as few
voices are raised in opposition to the planned execution
in Iran. General David Petraeus is evidently not in
opposition either as he protests the burning of a
few books in Florida but not one word about the
Iran execution. The European nations seem to be
more concerned than we are.

The passage you quote from our Declaration of Independence was written during a time of war. We weren't talking about how equal the Brits were. We did not like their system of governing us so we were at war with them. Recognizing equality and liking the other guy are two different things. Disagreeing with a point of view to the point of protest and war does not necessarily have anything to do with the concept of equality. When we daily see the ravages of "Islam" in places like Afghanistan and Pakistan on women and people who think differently, it's hard to look at Islam in America and come to the conclusion that it is different. The constitution recognizes religion and makes a place for it in America. The Christian Bible as well as other religions makes provision for a non-Christian government. The Koran does not.
Maybe Americans have grown tired of seeing protest signs in Muslim countries saying "Death to America" every time the weather changes. How can you be so hated by a group of people and maintain indifference when they want their way here? Personal dislike of Islam has nothing to do with equality. The personal assault on anyone because they are Muslim in America is criminal and should be dealt with. The same constitution that guarantees equality also guarantees our right to protest and state our opinions on matters.
Why are you so threatened by that?

to barking frog:
Petraeus expressed concern over the impact on the safety of our troops of the anti-Muslim book burning. Whatever his position on the stoning is (and I seriously doubt he is in favor of it), it is not an issue that affects the safety of our troops. As a soldier he speaks appropriately on the first issue.

to mystified:
One way of defining bigotry is the condemnation of an entire race/religion because of the actions of some members of that race/religion. The forthcoming burning of the Koran is just that kind of bigoted action. While I recognize the right of any group in this country to express its views, I also recognize that a country which is supposed to abhor bigotry (YOU do, don't you?) should be appalled when a group of our citizens use that freedom in a bigoted fashion. What would you think if a group of Americans burned bibles because of the actions of the Dove World Outreach Church. We'd have the right, but it would be just as wrong as burning the Koran.
September 7th, 2010
8:11 am
I wonder if you were offended when lefties burned Bibles or when pissing on a Bible was called art and displayed in a museum as such in this country?

Muslims have done nothing to convince the world that they are peaceful and flexible in their religion. They prefer to practice a religion with standards of the 6th century and have a track record of violence and poor assimilation. We are out of patience with these unruly people and we condemn their uncivilized practices. Unless you have been living on the far side of the moon, don't insult us with quotes from an anti-American newspaper to support your naive liberal viewpoint.

this situation is layered with so many examples of what is wrong with homo sapiens; especially the use of "religion" as a political tool, it makes my head spin. as I have noted several times on this and other blogs, there are some Americans who would seem to be taking a page from the Nazi playbook (see: Goehring Nuremburg quote). the Nazi's identified Jews as scapegoats. Hitler and the Nazis were not a theological orgianization, but they certainly understood the political value of "preaching" hate as something of a nationalist (nativist) dogma. of course, scapegoating only works when ingnorance and fear (see: nativists) are also part of the mix. and that's not to say Americans should not remain vigilant in the post 9/11 world, but out vigilance needs to be defined or applied with an eye toward preserving the Republic, not re-writing the Constitution. this is why paleo-neo-Carlinists eschew religion. ALL religions are "cultural" in origin, and as such SCREAM nativism. the very fact there are any number of faiths, deities, good books, and rituals; suggests to this agnostic wag, "religion" is nativism in theism's clothing. if we truly do seek "separation of church and state" we need to find terrorists and kill them ("teminate with extreme prejudice" in the vernacular of Apocalypse Now). to specifically target or scapegoat Muslims in nothing short of poor police work in my book. remember the outrage proferred by the "right" last year when it was leaked that "right wing militia groups" were receiving the attention of DHS? how is this different than looking as all Muslims as threats? oh, and I am not issuing a hall pass to peace-loving Muslims, either. you're here because you want to be here. the Constitution makes no mention of infidels, 72 virigins, or jihad; so leave that stuff at the door. there are 3rd, 4th and 5th generation (heck – ask a Cherokee, Lakota Souix, or Dine family about life in America?). if you can't handle a little nativist discrimination, bigotry and religious intollerance; you're probably in the wrong place.

Hey Granny Godzilla, consider this, if you are caught with a bible in Saudi Arabia, you go to jail (or worse) and you can forget about trying to build a church or heaven forbid a synagogue their too.I'm tired of the double standards and walking on egg shells to not offend those barbaric neanderthals–light it up I say!!

Hey Barking Frog, you think us christians would get that animated about someone burning a bible? The muslims need to grow up.

To say that the founders were not a majority of Christians is pure ignorance at the highest level. It has bee rebutted and re-proven too many times. Just as an example, the last few lines of the Declaration of Independence.
"And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor."
Try and Google the concept of "Divine Providence". Geez, you would think those in midtown would at least read something beside the AJC.
Regarding Islam. The Constitution says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;…"
However the state of New York can, unless it is forbidden by their State's Constitution.
History is a cruel mistress at times. Ignore her and you will get bitten.
Look back on the history of the Islamic invasions of Europe and the middle east. Look at their history and the way they compassionately treated non-believers.
With practices like "Taqiya", "Ketman" and other what we would call oddities.

Freedom of speech and Freedom of religion are two things that set the US apart from most other nations. Some burn US flags to protest. Now a group is going to burn Korans in protest. Do we have to like it, no. We have to respect their right to do so.
As for Muslims feeling nervous on 9/11; Go to any synagogue during Rosh Hashannah and Yom Kippur and you will likely see a few police officers on patrol. Jews have been "nervous" around these times for decades.

O'Reilly…. The burning of the Koran is nothing but an in your face act of idiocy. What good can possibly come of that? Legal or not; as Christians, how can they possibly hope to have any credibility in reaching anyone after that.
One of the hardest things to do is obtaining the balance of compassion and the need for doctrinal correctness (or in this case legal correctness). Too much compassion and we are wishy-washy at best and appear to embrace things that are not right. Too much legalism and we end up burning the Koran and addressing the group as a whole and lose sight of the individual.
It's far too easy to address the things we don't like in sound bites when the issue is anything but simple. My overall point is regardless of what we think of their methods, the right to protest should be equally protected. Liberalism needs a thicker skin. Every disagreement is not a civil rights issue.

joel, agreed and here's a better idea; when did not being offended become a Constitutional guarantee? "being offende" is part of the culture of victimization which is a key tactic in the political process (used deftly by both the left and the right). otherwise, how could Newt and Sarah (or Rev. Al and Rev. Jesse) "protect" their base from Muslims and discrimination, respectively. heck, I get "offended" when I see drunk college student paint their faces and chant "offensove" cheers at the other team, so you know what I do? I ignore it. I also get offende everytime I hear that faux patriot Toby Keith sing about "putting a boot" in somebody's a**. talk about a shallow, shameless, profiteer? Pat Tilman enlisted and died, Toby Keith wrote a song and went on tour? now that's offensive.

Benjamin Rush-Signer of the Declaration of Independence:
"My only hope of salvation is in the infinite, transcendent love of God manifested to the world by the death of His Son upon the cross. Nothing but His blood will wash away my sins. I rely exclusively upon it. Come, Lord Jesus! Come quickly!";
Richard Stockton-Signer of the Declaration of Independence:
"I think it proper here not only to subscribe to the entire belief of the great and leading doctrines of the Christian religion, such as the Being of God, the universal defection and depravity of human nature, the divinity of the person and the completeness of the redemption purchased by the blessed Savior, the necessity of the operations of the Divine Spirit, of Divine Faith, accompanied with an habitual virtuous life, and the universality of the divine Providence, but also . . . that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom; that the way of life held up in the Christian system is calculated for the most complete happiness that can be enjoyed in this mortal state; that all occasions of vice and immorality is injurious either immediately or consequentially, even in this life; that as Almighty God hath not been pleased in the Holy Scriptures to prescribe any precise mode in which He is to be publicly worshiped, all contention about it generally arises from want of knowledge or want of virtue."
John Witherspoon-Signer of the Declaration of Independence:
"I entreat you in the most earnest manner to believe in Jesus Christ, for there is no salvation in any other [Acts 4:12]. . . . [I]f you are not reconciled to God through Jesus Christ, if you are not clothed with the spotless robe of His righteousness, you must forever perish."
Roger Sherman-Signer of the Declaration of Independence, Signer of the Constitution:
I believe that there is one only living and true God, existing in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. . . . that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are a revelation from God. . . . that God did send His own Son to become man, die in the room and stead of sinners, and thus to lay a foundation for the offer of pardon and salvation to all mankind so as all may be saved who are willing to accept the Gospel offer."
John Dickinson-Signer of the Constitution:
"Rendering thanks to my Creator for my existence and station among His works, for my birth in a country enlightened by the Gospel and enjoying freedom, and for all His other kindnesses, to Him I resign myself, humbly confiding in His goodness and in His mercy through Jesus Christ for the events of eternity."
Samuel Adams-Father of the American Revolution, Signer of the Declaration of Independence:
"I . . . recommend my Soul to that Almighty Being who gave it, and my body I commit to the dust, relying upon the merits of Jesus Christ for a pardon of all my sins."
Charles Carroll-Signer of the Declaration of Independence:
"On the mercy of my Redeemer I rely for salvation and on His merits; not on the works I have done in obedience to His precepts."
"Without morals a republic cannot subsist any length of time; they therefore who are decrying the Christian religion, whose morality is so sublime & pure, [and] which denounces against the wicked eternal misery, and [which] insured to the good eternal happiness, are undermining the solid foundation of morals, the best security for the duration of free governments."

Some people (a minority) react with hatred and bigotry when they are scared. Most of us control our fear. What is scaring Americans right now is radical Islam. There is a risk that as Islam spreads in America (and it will if the history of Islam is any indication), so will the spread of radical Islam in America. Our Constitution forces us to face this possibility, but it is still scary for a lot of people. They see images of suicide bombers in our malls. Paranoia? I hope so.

QED, your position is weak. wordds and phrases such as "endowed by the Creator" or "Divine Providence" are theologically neutral phrases. they suggest some supreme being or deity, but they do not specifically refer to "Christ" or "Christianity" (or the God of Abraham, Allah, or any other golden idols). Many American indian tribes refer to a "Great Spirit" or viewed the "Earth" as the "Creator" of life. the very fact that many of the Founding Father WERE Christians, but specifically omitted ANY reference to Christianity should be a clue they were well aware of the evils of theocratic thinking. and despite the wonderful "religious freedom" narrative about the pilgrims and Plymouth Rock, the commercial interests of the Crown (in England and other European empires) had established a beachhead in the "new world" long before a handful of Purtains sought refuge in Massachusetts. the United States is a "corporate nation" not a "Christian nation".

Everyone agrees they have a constitutional right to build the "Muslim cultural center " in NY.
People are just asking them not to, show some respect because the people who killed 1000's in NY did it in the name of their Muslim faith, we supported by Muslim organization, millions of Muslim's around the world were in the streets cheering.

Black Lips Tweet "Raw Meat" Video, Support For Occupy Wall Street
Many a citizen's ire was raised Tuesday when New York City police in riot gear removed Occupy Wall Street protesters from Manhattan's Zuccotti Park. As if on cue, the Black Lips dropped their new video for the song "Raw Meat," in which the band plays crooked New York City cops.
Naturally, the song — a rollicking, whistle-y ode to various and sundry meats — was not written specifically about the two-month protest against capitalistic inequality. The album it came off of — Arabia Mountain — dropped months before protesters started setting up camp. However, it could very likely become one of the many newly minted anthems for the movement — especially since the band tweeted it out today with the message "occupy raw meat."
Many musicians have been either taking to social media or the streets in support of the movement — like our Most Memorable Occupy Wall Street Performance honoree, Tom Morello — and more and more, songs are being twisted to take on the message. See: Atari Teenage Riot's "Black Flags" and Penguin Prison's "Don't F**k With My Money."
Could the Lips' song — featuring the rallying lyric "fresh maggots on my teeth, they're cheap" — be the next unofficial anthem of OWS? Check it out below. NSFW for language.

It is important to estimate your due date so you and your health care provider can schedule proper prenatal care and plan for your baby's birth. Your health care provider uses a method similar to this calculator to give you your due date.
Since your last menstrual period was on , your baby's estimated birth date is .
Franz Naegele, a German obstetrician, came up with the first due date calculations around 1850. He determined that the average length of pregnancy was about 38 weeks (266 days). This is about 40 weeks (280 days) after the first day of a pregnant woman's last menstrual period. Naegele based his figures on an average menstrual cycle of 28 days, with ovulation on day 14 of the cycle. That meant the egg could not be fertilized until 2 weeks after the first day of the menstrual cycle. He used his data to come up with a calculation for due dates.
Today, most authorities agree that many factors affect a due date. Your health care provider can use ultrasound and other techniques to help estimate your due date.
This calculator is not intended to replace the evaluation of a health care professional.

Bred by capricious parents for his innate leopard-shifting abilities, billionaire Jake Bannaconni has spent his life in an emotional vacuum - especially after a tragic twist of fate left him to raise his infant son alone. But when his path crosses that of an enigmatic young woman, Jake's life takes a detour he never fathomed.
There is something irresistible about Emma Reynolds - something Jake can't live without. Hiring her as his son's nanny will keep her close. And warm. And under watch. She's the first human to stir something in Jake, something he's never felt before. But Emma may not be all that she seems. And what's raging between them is pure animal instinct - out of control, burning wild, and as hot as the lick of a flame.
©2009 Christine Feehan (P)2010 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
Another good read by Ms. Feehan. It was terribly disturbing to see how sick, twisted, cruel and obsessed a persons family can be. But to be raised in that type of environment and come out sane is truly a miracle. Thankfully Jake, one of the main characters had one family member who over time proved he was unlike the others and pointed Jake in the right direction. The saying is true you can't pick your family but you can pick your friends; the truth of this is shown clearly in this story. The love that unfolds and develops here is not what you will be expecting this is more of a take over.
"Not Phil Gigante"
I love this book and was looking forward to the audio, then I saw Phil Gigante was the narrator, but it's not, it's Jeffrey Cummings. Little disappointed it's not Gigante but hoping I like this narrator anyway.
"Burning Wild was very disturbing"
This book was very different from the first two and I found it disturbing. The sex was just as raw which I have no problem with but the domineering, manipulative, controlling attitude of Jake towards Emma and the subservient, submissive, surrendering attitude of Emma's was a classic abuser/abused relationship. It was hard to listen to. The first 1/2 hour of the book describes the abuse Jake suffered during his childhood which was well written and therefore also hard to listen to.
This story took place on a Texas ranch, not the lush, sensual, moody rain forest of the first two books. The leopard theme was not as integral a part of the story either.
The narrator did a pretty good job but I would say that the way he performed this made it feel rawer.
It's not a book I will listen to again as I might the others, but I don't know that I can say that I don't recommend it either. I was glad when it was over but I didn't consider not finishing it.
Amazon Fan
"Jake is the ultimate leopard."
This was the first book of this series that I read and by far my favorite. I have the paper back which is marked for the 'best parts.' Jake and Emma make you want them to succeed. I found this story one of my favorites and it is why I bought the earlier books and have continued to buy the books as they have been published. Christine Feehan is a terrific story teller and the Leopard People is one of her best series.
Jake is richer than most and ruthless as are most of the leopards in these books. I like the story told here about Jake and Emma and their experiences. If you like strong men not afraid to be strong, these books are for you. There is no abusiveness but there is some manipulation on Jake's part and there is lots of sex.
Jeffrey Cummings is a good narrator and has a strong voice which is needed for the storyline.
"Fun and Captavating"
yes, I like the way the book showed the value of patience and showing inner strength. The romance and discovery of a happy life.
The other books in the series and
yes, he keeps you interested and has a way of reading the book to make you want to be there.
Captavating, and Romantic
I liked that it was supenseful, romantic with a little violence, but not brutal.
"Loved it"
great story don't want to stop the story makes you want more.
great reader
the whole book was great
"Syl 8a"
what i loved the most was the story it self .. details of characters and all the action.. loved it loved it loved it ..CHRISTINE FEEHAN is one of my favorites authors.... she BRILLIANT
i think NIGHT PLAY by SHERRILYN KENYON.... she is also my favorite and I just love how she also provides and gives details about the story and characters....so real
the narrater is great love how he goes into the story.. makes it sound so real...
i just wanted to listen to it no matter how... of course unabridged.... I have read this book twice last year .. my favorite....
well i just wished audio books would be less expensive.... ; ) ......
"Disappointed in this Feehand effort"
Yes because I've read a number of other Feehan works which were quite good.
Maybe, but not for a book of this type.
I think the combination of the thin delivery, and shallower then usual characters combined to make it hard to even get through this one, let alone enjoy it.
For as much as I read and listen you would think by now that I would know how to spell lol. I read at least 5 books a week there are times I have gotten up to 10 in a week.
"kept me burning"
very good book with very strong lead male role. the passion in this one is off the charts.
"Wrong narrator/ great book and author"
Phil Gigante is NOT the narrator for this book. Love the book, not the narrator. He does not do justice to the characters.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Um what is the point of this? Does Ben Need money? Is it for Charity? Publicity? WTF, Chuck?
omg channel two just advertised an "Atlanta plot to take down shady roofers" or at least that is what I think they were trying to say. sounded more like um sh**ty roofers. It's pretty funny. or maybe you had to be there.

Considering Ben was in almost every movie made about three years ago I think its safe to say he doesn't need the money…and the article specifically called out proceeds go to charity for school is Haiti.

Depends. Do I get to physically assault him in any way, shape, or form?

What if the movie turns out to be garbage? Do I get my money back? I'll go out on a limb….If Ben Stiller is in it, then it will be garbage.
I'd rather spend 20 large on Beibers sex reassignment surgery. He's most of the way there.

One thing to remember as a PvP healer: you w-i-l-l die and die often. There's no Holy paladin invincibility when 4 mages are critting you for 50+k each with over 4k resil!
It's a role you have to love well to tolerate being the #1 target on the BG as soon as the gates open.
Make use of any cover you can -- mines/buildings/bushes -- to stay out of the LoS of DPS. Even if they have the HHTD addon, you can count on the "fog of war" to keep most of the enemy off your back. Most players in a BG will be preoccupied with easier targets, so use their distraction to your advantage.
Don't be tempted to run the flag even once you are more geared (seen this too many times), it's very tempting at times, but it's like having a pinpoint radar on you. Not only are you the #1 target on the BG, if you're carrying the flag every rogue would be there with a smoke bomb with your name on it (if they don't stun lock you). Leave that to melee, especially DKs and Warriors.
Mana conservation isn't as critical in PvP as in PvE, as PvP is designed that you're not expected to live long (sad but true). If you're alive for 5+ mins while in the thick of the fight, the other team just sucks. In those times when you can stay alive for longer (like on a skirmish line in AV -- those are really fun to heal), you can peel away and safely drink.
Usually you don't heal pets as you do have to save mana to keep players alive, but there's rare times when there's an OP hunter with a serious enemy eating pet. Such pets are basically tanks, and if you heal it, it can clear the BG by itself (especially true on lower level BGs). Remember some BGs when a hunter brought such a beast along, it would almost own midfield all by itself over and over and over.
Pay attention of who you're travelling with on the BGs. Ideally you want to team up with those classes that compliment yours and has what your class lacks (especially CC heavy classes so you can freecast -- if you can freecast you are golden and can rack in some serious HPS [and it's what you aim for in both regular PvP and arenas]). Good partners are those that can peel well, too.
