/r/DJReviews is the source for DJ's to find reviews on stuff they might be looking at getting. By DJ equipment we mean anything that you can use to play/produce music live, or accessories for those things including CDJ's, Headphones, Controllers (Traktor, Serato, Mixxx, Ableton and yes... even Virtual DJ)
You can either write your own review or link to a text/video review. If you are helpful and have submitted some good reviews, you will get a flair depending on what we think is appropriate and with enough usefulness, you may become a mod.
Also check out /r/DJs and /r/DJSetups (We are not associated with these subreddits they are just very helpful)
I think this subreddit would be more useful if it focused on external links to reviews. We're not professional writers, and we haven't all used a wide variety of gear to use in comparison in our reviews. (self.DJReviews)

It is a good idea, but this subreddit shouldn't focus only on that. If it becomes popular enough, I think that it would be much more helpful to have real peoples honest reviews, instead of some websites (DJ Tech Tools as an example) that are somewhat biased towards companies.
Also, thank you moderator for putting my subreddit in the side ;)

A Storm of SwordsHBO's hit series A GAME OF THRONES is based on George R R Martin's internationally bestselling series A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE, the greatest fantasy epic of the modern age. A STORM OF SWORDS is the third volume in the series. A beautifully presented slipcased edition of A STORM OF SWORDS. The Seven Kingdoms are divided by revolt and blood feud, and winter approaches like an angry beast. Beyond the Northern borders, wildlings leave their villages to gather in the ice and stone wasteland of the Frostfangs. From there, the renegade Brother Mance Rayder will lead them South towards the Wall. The men of the Night's Watch are ready for the coming of a great cold and the walking corpses that travel with it. But now they face a horde of wildlings twenty-thousand strong hungry savage people steeped in the dark magic of the haunted wilderness poised to invade the Kingdom of the North where Robb Stark wears his new-forged crown. But Robb's defences are ranged against attack from the South, the land of House Stark's enemies the Lannisters. His sisters are trapped there, dead or likely yet to die, at the whim of the Lannister boy-king Joffrey or his depraved mother Cersei, regent of the Iron Throne. Cersei's ambition is unfettered while the dwarf Tyrion Lannister fights for his life, a victim of treachery. And on the other side of the ocean, the last of the Targaryens rears the dragons she hatched from her husband's funeral pyre. Daenerys Stormborn will return to the land of her birth to avenge the murder of her father, the last Dragon King on the Iron Throne. |

What you say is true. But because I didn't put such a strong argument the last time, here it is : Remember Magellan from Impel Down, right ? He is a Paramecia type user. He is old enough to have trained with his Devil Fruit for many years. His Venom Demon form, is pretty much unbeatable, because even touching him would be enough to kill you. So Admirals much have trained as much as Magellan, so they must have other forms too, and we haven't even seen some kind of form yet (!)
Logia types must have some evolution too

Advice For Next White House Spokesman
White House press secretaries of the past offer their advice to the probable incoming candidate, Robert Gibbs. Jake Siewert, Jerald terHorst, Joe Lockhart, Ari Fleischer and Dee Dee Myers offer their insight to the incoming press secretary.
Copyright © 2008 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
The next press secretary will face a lonely and stressful job and may appreciate a little advice from some experts.
Ms. DEE DEE MYERS (White House Press Secretary, Clinton Administration): This is Dee Dee Myers, I served as White House press secretary in the first two years of the Clinton administration. My advice to the new press secretary would be first, never take it personally. The White House briefing room culture can be extremely confrontational and on a lot of days it feels like it's all about you, most days it's not. Second, I'd say never lose your sense of humor. Not only will it help keep you sane, but a funny line can often change the tempo of a really difficult briefing. Third, I'd say listen to reporters at least as much as you talk to them. They actually know a lot. And finally, I'd say have fun. The days can be really long but the years go by quickly.
Mr. ARI FLEISCHER (Former White House Press Secretary) This is Ari Fleischer, former White House press secretary from 2001 to 2003. My advice to the next White House press secretary is to remember you serve two bosses, the press and the president, but only one of them pays your salary. So your job is to be in the middle between the two of them, but you really are the advocate for the president. Your job is to help the press, to be respectful for the press, but you've got a point of view to say and that's the difficulty and the joy of the job.
Mr. JOE LOCKHART (Former White House Press Secretary): I am Joe Lockhart and I was President Clinton's press secretary between 1998 and 2000. It's unique to know that not meeting someone's expectations is your career goal, but that's what you have to do in that job. Probably the second and really important thing is the briefing is what everybody sees. It's all the work that goes into it that actually makes the briefing valuable and successful for both the president and the press. Inevitably, the one day you're not prepared is when you make a big mistake.
Mr. JERRY TERHORST (Former White House Press Secretary): Hello. This is Jerry terHorst, first White House press secretary for Gerald Ford. I served for 30 days. I would have loved to have served longer but my problem was the pardon of Richard Nixon. You support the Constitution, the Constitution requires equal justice for all under the law. Equal justice under the law did not apply when Gerry Ford pardoned Nixon, and I think if you remember the Constitution you could do nothing else if faced with a similar dilemma and God knows, I hope you don't. Thank you.
Mr. JAKE SIEWERT (Former White House Press Secretary): This is Jake Siewert, I was White House press secretary in 2000 to 2001. My advice for Robert Gibbs is pretty simple. Keep your door open to the press, save the good news for the president. Your job is to play defense, and try to make the briefings boring enough that MSNBC isn't tempted to carry them live.
SIEGEL: Advice to the future White House press secretary from five people who have stood on that lonely podium and faced the press. Jake Siewert, Jerald terHorst, Joe Lockhart, Ari Fleischer and Dee Dee Myers.

ABC has renewed its summer primetime soap Mistresses for a second season. The series stars Alyssa Milano and is based on a British series.
Mistresses was one of two scripted hits for the broadcast networks this summer, behind CBS' hit Under The Dome. That series was also renewed for a second season. TheWrap reports that Mistresses never attracted a huge audience, but its Sept. 9 finale scored a decent 3.0 18-49 rating and 3.91 million viewers.
Milano, a very active Twitter user, let her fans know that the show was picked up for another year. She also retweeted the show's official Twitter page. "Happy to report that #mistresses was picked up for a second season. Thank you for all the love and support. I appreciate you," she told her fans.
Happy to report that #mistresses was picked up for a second season. Thank you for all the love and support. I appreciate you.
— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) September 25, 2013
Mistresses is an ABC Studios production. The executive producers include Gossip Girl's K.J. Steinberg, Gilmore Girls' Rina Mimoun, Revenge's Robert Sertner and Douglas Rae.
The LA Times notes that the second season of Mistresses should return in summer 2014.

Oldham Athletic v Everton
The FA Cup with Budweiser
Fifth Round Proper
6.00pm, Saturday 16 February 2013
Boundary Park, Oldham
Live on ITV
Winning clubs receive £180,000 from The FA's Prize Fund
Click here for fixtures
The FA Cup has appeal all over the world - even 5, 500 miles away in Costa Rica.
Everton's Bryan Oviedo only joined the club in the summer but it has taken him no time at all to appreciate the value of the world's oldest knockout competition.
The full-back is gearing up for Saturday evening's trip to Oldham Athletic, who are looking for their second Merseyside scalp after stunning Liverpool in the previous round.
And Oviedo, who has 21 international caps for Costa Rica, said: "People at home know it is a very important competition in England.
"Also, for the last two rounds, everybody back home has been looking for Everton and for me to see how we do in these games.
"Everything is focused on this game because it is very important for us. It's a very nice game because we want to win The FA Cup."
Oldham's hero of The Fourth Round was Matt Smith but he has struggled with a shoulder problem since his double over Liverpool.
The other scorer in that match, Reece Wabara, has returned to Manchester City following his loan spell.
Everton manager David Moyes has selection issues of his own, though. Sylvain Distin limped out of the warm-up against Manchester United last week, while Tony Hibbert is sidelined and John Stones is Cup-tied, having featured for Barnsley.
"We have got one or two injuries from the Manchester United game," Moyes said. "We are going to have to assess them and see if they will make it."
The FA Cup Sixth Round draw takes place at Wembley Stadium on Sunday afternoon at 5.55pm. You can watch it live with us here on TheFA.com.

Unified 802.11n Wi-Fi Standard to Emerge in Mid-2006
Engineers working on the 802.11n Wi-Fi standard say that new products that support a fully defined and unified specification won't be appear on the market until mid-2006.
SAN JOSE, Calif.The first products that support a fully unified 802.11n Wi-Fi standard will start reaching the market in the second quarter of 2006, according to some of the wireless industry executives who are working to define the standard. The executives, speaking here at a Wi-Fi Planet panel on "N Warsthe Struggle to Define the 802.11n Standard," said much of the next 18 months will be spent trying to hammer out differences between the two proposed standards that have the most industry support. Another in the long line of Wi-Fi technical standards, 802.11n is based on a new radio technology called MIMO (multiple input/multiple output) that allows the transmission of up to 100M bps over a much wider range than the earlier versions.0 Comments for "Unified 802.11n Wi-Fi Standard to Emerge in Mid-2006"

"Publishing ain't what it used to be!"Wow, wow, wow! How the publishing world has be stood on its head! Closings, mergers, sales....repeat. 2009 hit many publishing houses below the belt! Here's the latest rumors and reality checks:1. Fortune Magazine to reduce its publishing frequency. What other restructuring will Time, Inc. undergo?2. Ebony Magazine up for sale??? Let me be quite frank and tell you now...many people are shocked to hear this. The largest magazine that caters to people of color...sold? Definitely some head shaking. Afterall...look what happened when BET was sold...3. Washington Blade- the nations largest GLBT publication has ceased publications. The one comment on the site said "Good they are going going gone!" I think its good to have all sides in the game instead of the constant skewing by a stronger fraction...but that's me.4. Spring Science and Business Media- a huge UK academic publisher put on the market.And the Reader's Read blog has reported a Chicago Sun story indicating that at least 400 bookstores will close by Jan 1 of 2010. WOW!!! Now more than ever is the time to "create" your niche in this market. Stay tuned and hopefully, I can help you navigate the waters. Syd

Boston, MA
Ukrainian GDP growth fell from 5.2% in 2011 to 2.5% in 2012. A decline in exports and economic uncertainty due to the eurozone debt crisis were considered the key reasons behind the fall. Subdued economic conditions had an adverse impact on the country's insurance industry, which declined at a CAGR of -2.7% during the review period (2008-2012). The industry has undergone key structural and legislative changes since coming in to existence in 1991. The main structural changes include a decline in the number of insurance companies from 700 in 1992 to 414 in 2012, while on the legislative front, foreign insurers are now permitted to directly participate in the industry by opening offices in Ukraine.
Key Highlights
- The industry is developing dynamically and is predominantly controlled by the non-life insurance segment, which accounted for a significant share of the industry's gross written premium during the review period
- Over the forecast period the key growth drivers are anticipated to be government initiatives to introduce compulsory health insurance, foreign investment and a guarantee pool for life and agriculture insurance
- The Ukrainian insurance authority encouraged investment from foreign insurers by allowing them to open offices in the country
- Increased investment from foreign companies will improve the quality of insurance services and spur product development
- In 2012, there were 112 foreign companies operating in the Ukrainian insurance industry
- The government has declared that a reform of the healthcare system will begin in 2014, and compulsory healthcare insurance will be put in place during 2015-2016

Thermal homeostasis following dynamic exercise.
Title: | Thermal homeostasis following dynamic exercise. |
Author: | Kenny, Glen. |
Abstract: | Recent published work showed post-exercise (PostEx) esophageal temperature (Tes) recovered rapidly to a persistent plateau that was significantly elevated (0.5$\sp\circ$C or more) above pre-exercise (PreEx) values. Non-acral skin temperatures, except over exercised muscle, returned rapidly to PreEx levels. Rectal temperatures (Tre) fell gradually during recovery reaching a plateau late in recovery (45 min) equal in magnitude of difference from Tes to PreEx values. Surface temperatures over the quadriceps remained high, indicating that heat was trapped in muscle. A similarity between the exercise Tes at which skin surface dilation occurred (Tdil) and the PostEx Tes was identified. These observations contradict the widely accepted "load-error" prinicple of thermoregulation which predicts that displacement of core temperature (Tco) from a hypothalamic set point (SPhy) will induce defense reflexes until the displacement is reversed. These data lead to the hypothesis that there was some residual influence related to exercise that retained the modulation of thermal reflex thresholds during recovery. Testing of the hypothesis was conducted with experiments to establish if: (1) the PostEx Tes was related to PreEx temperature; (2) exogenous thermal loading would produce the same post treatment elevation; (3) PostEx Tes elevation followed by exogenous thermal loading would result in an increase in the Tes elevation and (4) a 5 min exercise generating Tes below Tdil would result in a PostEx elevation of Tes. It was demonstrated that repeated running-recovery cycles produced patterns of rise and then fall of Tes to an elevated PostEx plateau that was equal to Tdil. This was similar to previous results except that the second exercise was begun at an elevated Tes and produced further elevation of Tdil with a comparable effect on PostEx Tes. Similarly, the third exercise further increased Tes following which it recovered to an even higher plateau equal in magnitude to Tdil. We observed that exogenous heat loading, by immersion of subjects in a bath of water at 44$\sp\circ$C to produce a rate of increase and peak elevation of Tes equal to exercise, did not result in a post-treatment elevation in Tes. Similarly, the PostEx Tes elevated plateau, equal to Tdil, remained unchanged following water immersion at 44$\sp\circ$C despite a larger total heat gain during the immersion. These observations eliminate whole body heat content changes as the primary cause of the Tes elevation and support the hypothesis that the homeothermic defense mechanisms become inoperative during recovery at a temperature above resting values as defined by Tdil. The physiological importance of Tdil in defining upper limits of resting temperature cannot be determined at this point. However, the physiological relationship of Tdil with PostEx Tes suggests that neuro-muscular activity significantly influences thermolytic controls which persist in recovery. That Tdil may represent the upper limit of a range of "normal temperatures" is supported by data from a 5 min exercise performed to a Tes elevation below Tdil. Within minutes of exercise termination Tes achieved a stable elevated PostEx Tes (0.3$\sp\circ$C or greater) which was maintained with no change over 65 min of recovery. The data suggest the possibility of: (1) a metabolically induced change in SPhy thermosensitivity, (2) a decreased sensitivity to an increase LE, or (3) a range of temperature regulation defined by an upper threshold control for thermolytic temperature defense reflexes. |

Focus on the galaxy
Sweep away your expectations
And recognize your enemies
But here you're talking to yourself
You're stripping off for someone else
You've got to learn to love yourself
It's all that counts
There's little else
You're always looking for affection
And all its possibilities
Your sense of searching for attention
In urgent need of gravity
I think you think you're someone else
You've got to learn to save yourself
Before you find there's nothing left
But bitterness and hollowness
And afterglow
And afterglow

Dayna and Jason's Colorado wedding had so much going for it: Dayna's short and sweet dress, Jason's Boston tie, their walk down the aisle together, the amphitheater setting with a view we can't even handle right now, and GRATUITOUS DOGGY SHOTS! This pooch is walking down the aisle, front-and-center at the ceremony, and then falling asleep in the middle. We are bowled over with cuteness. Then it's on to the reception where there's carb-loading and robin's egg centerpieces.
This is Offbeat Bride's archive of cupcakes posts.
Rick & Emma's giant sci-fi rock 'n' roll wedding
This pair brings the house down at their huge wedding with live bands, sci fi details (including an amazing photo booth!), gorgeous music hall venue, and even a Klingon love poem at the ceremony. PLUS, the groom planned the wedding himself and has the battle scars to prove it. Check out this space age dance party in Brooklyn.
A succulent-themed lavender and blue beachside wedding that'll warm you right up
These two met three years ago online, and quickly discovered a "mutual love for good food, cocktails, and laughs." Right before Thanksgiving 2011 they decided they were tired of waiting for America to get it together and they wanted to get married now. Luckily they live in Massachusetts, and were able to legally wed before heading to Aruba to celebrate with friends and family.
Jessica & Grant's outdoor Victorian winery wedding
This bride's custom-made cobalt blue Victorian dress steals our hearts, and the rustic, forest-y details take the rest. Non-matching bridesmaids in white, a fabulous ceremony gazebo, and so much ambiance. Oh, and wait until you hear the story the groom told in his speech. Let's just say it had something to with self-tanner.
Brooke & Jon's elegantly 8-bit Mario wedding
These two super gamers embraced Super Mario for a pretty damned super, 8-bit-inspired wedding! We're talking a Mario photo booth complete with props, fire flower bouquets, homemade cupcakes, and even the bride's kick-ass 1-Up nails! Plus, you'll love their card box. Let's just say it involves a piranha plant and some special effect noises.
Kate & Jonathan's barefoot in the Shire book-geek wedding
This book-loving, Shire-hopping couple knows how to harness the power of their friends and family. And it all resulted in one super adorable wedding day. Prepare yourself for what might be the awesomely geekiest handfasting we've seen. From book bouquets to a frozen flower disasters, there is much to see. Just watch out for the carrot cake hedgehog murder!
Louise & Adam's gothic fairytale wedding
It all started with a birthday card featuring purple and white dragons… and led to the gothic splendor that is this richly-hued fairytale wedding. There's a little bit for geeks, a little bit for film buffs, and a whole lot for those in the mood for romance. And when you see the details of the rich purple taffeta custom-made dress, you'll swoon.
Tentacle and octopus details for beautiful briny sea weddings
Suzi and Paul share our fondness for the wriggly tentacled types that we're celebrating this week in our mash-up theme of barns and tentacles (BARN-ACLE WEEK!). We scoured the tentacle archives and found steampunk octopodes, squid cakes, tentacle crowns, knitted cephalopods, and tentacle-covered accessories. Wrap your many arms around these babies…
Nicole & Kyle's punk rock and skulls wedding
These two heard a lot of ideas about what people thought their punk-themed wedding would be like… but they were all wrong. This shindig had all the awesome trappings of a punk-loving party: awesome bands (including one who shifted into an '80s hair band!), The Misfits playing during the ceremony, and colorful skulls everywhere. But with a gorgeous and floofy pink gown and a classy venue, this was a total traditional-meets-punk mashup.
Candace & Colin's music-meets-geeky budget Mennonite wedding
The bride was into craftts and music and the groom was a gamer geek — what else was there to do but combine it all into one awesome day? The only problem was a small budget. It's a good thing these two know how to throw a self-catered bash with cold munchies and a giant sweets table. Oh, and the bride's mom being talented enough to make a fab wedding dress sure didn't hurt, either.
Abby & Kyle's lightsabers and WoW villains geektastic wedding
Robots and aliens have invaded weddings this week! It's making me want to break it down in a binary solo. Today we've got Old Gods, Han and Leia, and gamers in lurve.

Official Iranian news agency Fars has reported that two pilgrims recently returned from the Hajj have contracted swine flu. Mecca plays host to about two million Muslims every year including nearly 12,000 from the United States and 25,000 from the United Kingdom, both of whom top the World Health Organization's table of reported swine flu cases. Fears about the rapid spread of the pandemic during the Hajj have prompted swift action from countries across the Middle East, which have as yet reported relatively few cases. Saudi Arabia has already put in place facilities at its major airports to quarantine pilgrims suspected of carrying the H1N1 virus.
Meanwhile in England, the Bishop of Chelmsford has advised that churches remove holy water which, when exposed in stoups, can easily become a source of infection. Revered John Gladwin recommended that parishioners exhibiting flu-like symptoms should stay at home where possible, and priests who must make pastoral visits "wear sterile gloves, an apron and a face mask." He also said those taking holy communion should not drink wine from the chalice if ill, and would still receive the full communion by taking the wafer of bread alone.

It's finally here. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince opens in theaters tomorrow after an eight-month delay. The world is abuzz with anticipation for this picture, the sixth film to be released in the last eight years. This morning I spotted four sleeping teenagers who had camped out overnight already in line for tickets in front of DC's Uptown Theater.
Apparently, this magical mood surrounding The Half-Blood Prince has even traveled as far as the Vatican, casting its spell on the pope. In its review of the film L'Osservatore Romano -- the Vatican's official newspaper -- praised this latest cinematic adaptation of J.K. Rowling's work (written by Steve Kloves and directed by David Yates) as being the best one yet, highlighting its distinct moral compass.
There is a clear line of demarcation between good and evil and [the film] makes clear that good is right. One understands as well that sometimes this requires hard work and sacrifice."
While longtime Potter readers all over the world might respond with a resounding, "duh," this is certainly a shift for the pope who, until recently was not a Potter fan, once condemning the books as "subtle seductions." In 2008, the Vatican newspaper said young Harry "...proposes a wrong and malicious image of the hero, an unreligious one, which is even worst that an explicitly anti-religious proposition."
In other, related and perhaps more shocking, news Harry Potter can't find a girlfriend. (You can almost hear the shrieks of muggle girls everywhere.)

It's another great moment in advertising history: Burger King bringing together a Whopper and a Hindu goddess.
Burger King has been forced to apologise to Hindus after it showed a revered Indian goddess with a 'forbidden' Whopper burger.
The fast food chain quickly withdrew the advertisement from its stores in Spain after Hindus across the world complained at the denigration of their religion.
The advertisement shows a picture of Lakshmi, the Indian goddess of wealth, above one of the burgers, which are forbidden under Hindu religion[...]
The goddess and the burger were placed under a slogan claiming 'La merienda es sagrada' – the snack is sacred.
Though the main complaint is of course the implication that Lakshmi enjoys cow, it turns out the entire meal does not agree with the rules of strict Hindus:
It includes an all-beef patty, a beef chilli-con-carne slice, egg-based Cajun mayonnaise, all forbidden by strict Hindus. Some devotees would even be offended by the inclusion of onions which they believe inflame passions."
Not to mention the fearsome power of onion breath.

It sounds like the beginning of a joke," writes The Guardian. "What do you get when you put a Muslim imam, a Greek Orthodox priest, a rabbi, a Buddhist monk and 10 atheists in the same room?" I initially thought the answer had something to do with light bulbs, but it turns out this is part of the premise of a new Turkish game show:
Viewers of Turkish television will soon get the punchline when a new gameshow begins that offers a prize arguably greater than that offered by Who Wants to be a Millionaire?
Contestants will ponder whether to believe or not to believe when they pit their godless convictions against the possibilities of a new relationship with the almighty on Penitents Compete (Tovbekarlar Yarisiyor in Turkish), to be broadcast by the Kanal T station. Four spiritual guides from the different religions will seek to convert at least one of the 10 atheists in each programme to their faith.
Those persuaded will be rewarded with a pilgrimage to the spiritual home of their newly chosen creed – Mecca for Muslims, Jerusalem for Christians and Jews, and Tibet for Buddhists.
The programme's makers say they want to promote religious belief while educating Turkey's overwhelmingly Muslim population about other faiths.
"The project aims to turn disbelievers on to God," the station's deputy director, Ahmet Ozdemir, told the Hürriyet Daily News and Economic Review.
What kind of spiritual guide is this show going to be using? With each week's suspense inherently built off of contestants' conversions, I look forward to quotes like "yes, my son, you may come forward to accept Jesus... but please, wait until after these commercials."

Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi, who is currently visiting Italy, has agreed to meet with members of Rome's Jewish community -- many of whom were forced to leave their homes in Libya by anti-Jewish pogroms decades ago -- but says he will only meet with them on Saturday.
Will there be shrimp cocktails, too?
Madonna was bad enough, but this is really beyond the pale.
Former Liberian dictator Charles Taylor, currently imprisoned at the Hague awaiting trial for war crimes in Sierra Leone, has apparently decided to convert to Judaisim, one of his wives tells BBC radio (my transcript):
Q. So he's now a practicing Jew?
A. He's now a Jew. He's practicing Judaism.
Q. Tells us about that? What led him to that?
A. Because of the difficulties, he always wanted to know God in a very diffent and special way. From a very small boy -- because we talk about his childhood a whole lot -- he asked himself questions about Christianity. Too many questions about why certain things happened. And why, this one and that one. Just too many question in Christianity and the whole thing about Christ because he does believe in Christ. When he got to the Hague, he got to know that he really, really wanted to be a Jew. Wanted to convert to Judaism. And that...
Q. Does that mean he has rejected Christianity then? Because that's quite a radical departure.
A. No, no, no he hasn't rejected Christianity. He has always been a Christian. He just decided to become a Jew. He wants to follow the two religions.
Least. Welcome. Convert. Ever.
I also can't help wondering if he got this idea from George Bluth on Arrested Development.

The new book "Sex as you don't know it: for married couples who love God," written by a franciscan friar named Ksawery Knotz is flying off the bookshelves in Poland, selling out its initial print run within weeks. While Knotz's message, that even godly married couples should enjoy sex, is all fine and good and probably a smart move for the struggling Polish catholic church, isn't there something a little strange about taking sex tips from a guy who's celibate?
He also dismisses those that have questioned the competency of a celibate monk to write about sex, saying his experience comes from counselling married couples and from running a website giving sexual advice for almost a year.
The website is here. Maybe he could sign up Alberto Cutie and Fernando Lugo as bloggers.
There's an interesting quote from the Post's account of Pope Benedict's visit to Israel's Holocaust memorial:
Yad Vashem director Avner Shalev said he considered Benedict's remarks a "serious and important" acknowledgment of what the Holocaust represents, but said he also found the language "a bit restrained." He and other officials at the memorial said they were expecting a more personal expression of empathy, rather than the general remarks Benedict delivered. "Maybe our expectations were too high," Shalev said.
If Shalev was expecting a Larry King-style expression of remorse for Benedict's youthful involvement with Nazism or his pardon of Richard Williamson, he was definitely expecting too much. If this pope has demonstrated anything so far, it's that he has little patience for the ritual expressions of "humanity" demanded by the modern news cycle. (And Benedict's spokesman probably did him no favors by denying that he was ever a member of the Hitler Youth, even though the pope had admitted as much himself in his autobiography.)
For even the most media-savvy public figure, this trip would hae been a tough act to pull off. Some had hoped that the pope could use his spiritual authority to make a positive impact on the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, but at this point, Benedict probably has too little credibility with either Jews or Muslims to pull that off. Any non-platitudinous statement he made on behalf of Palestinian rights would just reinforce Jewish skepticism of him and vice versa.
As for doing damage control, the Holy Land actually seems like the worst possible place to reach out to Jews or Muslims (particularly if you're trying to reach out to both.) As Marc Lynch noted in his discussion of why Jerusalem would have been an ill-advised choice for Barack Obama's address to the Muslim world, it "would have been a security nightmare, a political football, and at any rate would have turned it into an 'Israeli-Palestinian' event instead of a Muslim world event."
The pope must have realized this all too well when he had to leave a conference in East Jerusalem yesterday after a Palestinian began railling against Israeli crimes. It would have been difficult enough for this pope to pull off a high-profile conciliatory gesture to Jews, or to Muslims. But trying to do both at once while standing on top of the world's most volatile political-religious fault-line is damn near impossible.

The U.S. military today denied the allegation made in this Al Jazeera piece that evangelical chaplains are urging U.S. toops in Afghanistan to protelytize for Christianity:
The reporting here does seem a little dodgy. The piece implies that this line from a U.S chaplain's sermon is a violation of U.S. policy:
"The special forces guys - they hunt men basically. We do the same things as Christians, we hunt people for Jesus. We do, we hunt them down."
But it's not at all clear that this refers to converting Afghans and this seems like a line that one could hear in any evangelical sermon in the United States. None of the officers "caught on camera" in the segment ever actually instruct troops to proselytize, in fact the only discussion of the practice is about how it's against military rules.
As for the bibles in Dari and Pashto, the conversations in the video actually seem to better support the military's explanation that a soldier had "showed them to the group and the chaplain explained that he cannot distribute them."
Afghanistan's former prime minister has called for an investigation after seeing the segment. This is a serious issue and one that has gotten the military into trouble before. But without more evidence, this particular case seems like a manufactured controversy.
Belarussian President Aleksandr Lukashenko's PR machine kicked into overdrive yesterday during a meeting with Pope Benedict. RFE/RL's Luke Allnut notes that the Belarussian strongman's adorable son Nikola stole the show at the event: "Resplendent in a white cardigan among the papal
grays and purples... playing with a football and
presenting the pope with his ABC's book." It certainly sounds like Lukashenko is getting his money's worth from his top-shelf British spin-doctors.
Belarussian opposition leader Anatoly Lebedko put the meeting in context for the AP:
"Lukashenko's main goal is to improve his image and to receive absolution from the pope ahead of the EU summit in Prague, where many European politicians will not extend a hand to the Belarusian dictator," he said.
On this site last week, David Kramer and Irina Krasovskaya (whose husband was "disappeared" by the Lukashenko regime) argued that the E.U.'s efforts to reach out to Belarus were ill-advised and would only lead Lukashenko to crack down more on political dissent.
Most E.U. leaders, at least, seem fairly embarassed by the prospect of standing next to Lukashenko. Some even say they won't shake his hand. Even Silvio Berlusconi, who became the first Western European leader in 14 years to meet with him yesterday, didn't hold a press conference and made it clear that he would press Lukashenko on human rights. On the other hand, the Vatican said only that some "internal problems" were discussed at the Pope's meeting but in a "positive climate"
What is Benedict thinking? There are certainly times when talking with human rights abusers can be productive. But the Pope isn't a realist, nor should he be. Unlike national leaders he's in a position to act as a voice of conscience without worrying about political expediency.
Considering the bad press he's gotten over the last few months, it couldn't have hurt the pope to say a few words in public about Lukashenko's stiffling of free speech and dissent in Belarus. Instead, he gave the dictator a photo-op to die for without a critical word.
Given the role his predecessor played in dispatching authoritarian governments from the rest of Eastern Europe, Benedict's conduct was especially shameful.

Not such a good Friday for Caroline Kennedy, daughter of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy.
Just last week, her name emerged as a possible ambassador to the Vatican. News outlets reported that Senator John Kerry (the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee) recommended her for the role, lobbying U.S. President Barack Obama, who makes the appointments, on her behalf.
The rumor sparked outrage among Catholic groups, because Kennedy, who is Catholic, supports abortion rights, which the church vehemently opposes. One called it an "insult," saying, "It's inappropriate to appoint someone who pretends to be a Catholic but rejects the fundamental teachings of the church."
It seems that the Vatican has crossed names off of Obama's list. "At least three names...have been 'burned' even before the proposal of nomination could be made formally, because they were unwelcome to the church," one Italian journalist wrote, as translated by the Washington Times. (The Vatican denies the allegation.)
The United States has never appointed a pro-choice ambassador to the Holy See.

The Israeli ultra-Orthodox newspaper Yated Neeman reached new levels of Stalin-esque photoshop audacity by doctoring photos of Israel's new government to remove female ministers Limor Livnat and Sofa Landver and replacing them with male ministers. (Click the photo for a larger version.) If Tzipi Livni had been elected, I would imagine the paper would have been pretty text-heavy on most days.
Unfortunately, no one has yet invented software that can make Foreign Miniser Avigdor Lieberman disappear.
Atlantic blogger and soon-to-be New York Times columnist Ross Douthat was not happy at all that my colleague David Rothkopf put Pope Benedict on his list of the world's biggest losers because of his comments on AIDS and condoms:
There are many other NGOs working in Africa that proceed from different premises, and take a different attitude toward matters sexual as a result, and if David Rothkopf prefers their approach that's perfectly understandable. But unless he's willing to tell the Catholic Church that it should fold up its charitable operations in the developing world and go home, I'd prefer to be spared the lectures on how the Pope is responsible for "massive death and suffering" among populations for whom Catholic institutions have provided lifelines beyond counting over the years, just because he isn't willing to to use his pulpit to preach the importance of playing it as safe as possible, health-wise, while you're committing what the Church considers mortal sin.
Rothkopf is more than able to defend his own posts, but I think that Douthat is missing the real reason why the Pope's comments upset so many people. As Bill Easterly pointed out, the first part of the Pope's statement, that AIDS is "a tragedy that cannot be overcome by money alone, that cannot be overcome through the distribution of condoms," is a perfectly legitimate statement. Condoms alone won't solve anything. It's his next clause, that the distribution of condoms "even aggravates the problem" which is more problematic.
Here's more Easterly:
From the standpoint of the individual, this is obvious nonsense, you are much less likely to get AIDS if you use a condom. The reason that mass condom distribution has not worked is that far too many people don't use the condoms. One among the many possible reasons that people don't use condoms is that religious leaders like the Pope tell them not to, or they believe unscientific statements like the Pope's that "condoms aggravate the problem." So it is tragically circular for the Pope to condemn the condom campaigns for not working, when one reason they don't work is that the Pope has previously condemned condoms.
So in response to Douthat, the Pope was not "proceeding from a different premise" than those who promote condom use, he was making a statement that could at the very least be interpreted as arguing against the fact that condoms use can prevent the transmission of AIDS. Until condom proponents start telling people that they're obligated to have sex, the Pope's defenders are on shaky ground when they say he's just offering another approach.
But don't take my word for it. Roseli Tardelli, a Brazilian AIDS activist who's been educating people on these issues for over a decade, has a new piece on The Argument blog, about how the Pope's words have set her work back years.

It's been a rough trip to Africa -- at least in the headlines -- for Pope Benedict XVI, but hey, he got some great souvenirs!
Pygmies from the Baka ethnic group in Cameroon gave Pope Benedict XVI a turtle last week during the Pontiff's visit. As one blogger muses:
No stranger to unusual gifts, Pope Benedict was presented with a tortoise in a basket by a group of Baka Pygmies who gave him an unscheduled send-off from Cameroon last week. I'm not sure whether one can read deep messages into the gift of a tortoise ("It's a metaphor for Pope Benedict's approach to the Church, a slow dogged move forward with a heavy protective shell." "It's a symbol for…" etc etc etc ad nauseam). At any rate appears that tortoises are quite important to Baka Pygmy culture as a symbol of wisdom—they even have a special dance called the tortoise dance.
Vatican officials at first suggested it might find a nice home in the Vatican gardens. But something must have gone wrong with the turtle that was supposed to bring wisdom. After tagging on to the flight from Cameroon to Angola, the turtle (but let's hope not the wisdom!) was left behind in Luanda.
romano/AFP/Getty ImagesFather Lombardi told reporters the turtle was "in good hands" with the staff of the nunciature in Angola because it was decided the African turtle should live in an African habitat.
This is disturbing to say the least:
Canada's science minister, the man at the centre of the controversy over federal funding cuts to researchers, won't say if he believes in evolution.
"I'm not going to answer that question. I am a Christian, and I don't think anybody asking a question about my religion is appropriate," Gary Goodyear, the federal Minister of State for Science and Technology, said in an interview with The Globe and Mail.
A funding crunch, exacerbated by cuts in the January budget, has left many senior researchers across the county scrambling to find the money to continue their experiments.
Some have expressed concern that Mr. Goodyear, a chiropractor from Cambridge, Ont., is suspicious of science, perhaps because he is a creationist.
When asked about those rumours, Mr. Goodyear said such conversations are not worth having.
George W. Bush caught a lot of (understandable) flack from scientists for his partial embrace of "intelligent design" education, but even he chose a science advisor who stated clearly that "evolution is the cornerstone of modern biology."

This morning Kommersant reported (in Russian) that a prominent council of religious associations will, for the first time, be chaired by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. The decision represents a major victory for the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC) and is another sign of the church's increasing influence over the Russian state.
The Kremlin is seeking church support as a rapidly disintegrating economy has fueled internal dissent. The newly annointed Patriarch, Kirill, is believed to be more liberal and politically ambitious than his predecessor and may become a major player in the Russian government.
Still, Russia's troubled record on religious tolerance makes the prospect of a closer relationship between church and state a troubling one for religious minorities.
Malaysian Christians have long referred to Jesus as the "son of Allah." Their government, it seems, has a problem with that:
Malaysian Muslim activists and officials and they see using the word Allah in Christian publications including bibles as attempts to proselytize.
Those concerns led to the ban on the Catholic Herald newspaper's use of "Allah" to denote God. The Herald is now suing the government to overturn the ruling, made after it appeared the paper would be allowed to use "Allah" provided it stamped "For Christians" on the front page of the paper.
"Allowing Christians to use the word is dangerous because it's attacking the sole religion of the Malays," said Yusri Mohamad, president of the influential Muslim Youth Movement.
"We have to question Christians' motive for wanting to use this obviously Muslim word. It appears to be for conversions. All Muslim Malays in Malaysia are against this."
The Indonesian island of Bali has big dreams to become a world capital of spiritual tourism. But that required ignoring the religious edict issued by the country's top Islamic body last week. The Council of Ulemas issued a Fatwa against yoga. Awkward, since Bali had planned to host an international yoga conference.
What ever to do? Not much of a question there, it seems. Yoga! The conference went off as planned, finishing up today, with even the island's governor attending.
Praise be to tourism, the payoffs from Bali's yoga drive could be big. Wayan Wijayasa of the Denpasar Tourism Academy in Bali told local press that if just one percent of U.S. "yogis" visited Bali a year, it would mean 160,000 yoga tourists in the country. That's big dough if you consider that Americans spent $2.95 billion on yoga equipment presumably last year, according to Wijayasa.
Monetary gains aside, yoga is popular in Bali. So that must be what Hillary Clinton meant when she said, "If you want to know if Islam, democracy, modernity and women's rights can coexist, go to Indonesia." That should ceratinly be worth a few sun salutations.

That Bishop Richard Williamson, as a representative of the Vatican, openly and ardently denied the Holocaust's occurrence was a problem. A big problem. As a religious leader it was a position that shouldn't be tolerated. His dismissal from the Church was warranted.
Today however, Argentina's interior ministry announced that the bishop had ten days to leave the country or he would face expulsion, saying that Williamson "has concealed the true motive for his stay in the country." He had said he was an employee of a non-governmental group rather than declaring 'his true activity' as the director of a seminary, the ministry stated."
Wait a minute. Has Williamson broken any laws? No charges have been filed against him. However ignorant, however reprehensible his beliefs, he's entitled to them. This latest action against the bishop seems like blatant persecution and it's a horrendous precedent to set that will no doubt arm more dangerous Holocaust deniers with anti-Semitic rhetoric.
It's certainly not hard to understand the desire to just get rid of Williamson as quickly as possible, but Argentina just gave him a whole new subject to talk about.
Think Pat Robertson et al. are uniquely American? Think again. Here's an item in the Sydney Morning Herald about the leader of a fringe church in Australia:
The Pentecostal church's leader, Pastor Danny Nalliah, claimed he had a dream about raging fires on October 21 last year and that he woke with "a flash from the Spirit of God: that His conditional protection has been removed from the nation of Australia, in particular Victoria, for approving the slaughter of innocent children in the womb". [...]
Pastor Nalliah said he was helping to co-ordinate fire relief, including providing trucks to distribute clothes and food and giving his own blood, but he said he must tell "the truth".
Asked by the Herald if he did not believe most Australians would regard his remarks as being in appallingly bad taste, he said today: "I must tell people what they need to hear, not what they want to hear."
He said it was no use "molly-coddling" Australians.
Asked if he believed in a God who would take vengeance by killing so many people indiscriminately - even those who opposed abortion, Mr Nalliah referred to 2 Chronicles 7:14 to vouch for his assertion that God could withdraw his protection from a nation.
"The Bible is very clear," he said. "If you walk out of God's protection and turn your back on Him, you are an open target for the devil to destroy."

In an interview with Der Spiegel over the weekend, embattled (and now unemployed) Bishop Richard Williamson declined to recant his denial of the Holocaust, as the Vatican has demanded, but did say he would read some more about it:
Williamson: Throughout my life, I have always sought the truth. That is why I converted to Catholicism and became a priest. And now I can only say something, the truth of which I am convinced. Because I realize that there are many honest and intelligent people who think differently, I must now review the historical evidence once again. I said the same thing in my interview with Swedish television: Historical evidence is at issue, not emotions. And if I find this evidence, I will correct myself. But that will take time. [...]
SPIEGEL: You could travel to Auschwitz yourself.
Williamson: No, I will not travel to Auschwitz. I've ordered the book by Jean-Claude Pressac. It's called "Auschwitz: Technique and Operation of the Gas Chambers." A printout is now being sent to me, and I will read it and study it.
How nice that Williamson has suddenly realized that "many honest and intelligent people" disagree with him about this. I can imagine him anxiously checking his mailbox for that Amazon package so he can decide for himself whether one of the most well-documented and historically significant events of the twentieth century actually happened. The Holocaust occured over 60 years ago. Williamson made his controversial comments in the 1980s. He's almost 70 years old. He really hasn't had time to look into this until now?
I feel like if I suddenly decided that, say, the Great Depression or the moon landing had never actually happened, I'd probably want to at least do some follow-up Googling at some point just to be sure.
Never mind his anti-Semitism and conspiracy theories. Does the Vatican really want to put someone this stupid back in a position of authority?

The controversy of Pope Benedict XVI reinstatement of excommunicated, Holocaust-denying bishop Richard Williamson with German Chancellor Angela Merkel joining those condemning the decision:
Ms Merkel called on the German Pope to make a "very clear" rejection of the views of Bishop Richard Williamson, who has denied that six million Jews were gassed in Nazi concentration camps. In a highly unusual rebuke to the pontiff, she said that she did not believe there had been "sufficient" clarification.
"This should not be allowed to pass without consequences," Ms Merkel, the daughter of a Lutheran pastor, said. "This is not just a matter, in my opinion, for the Christian, Catholic and Jewish communities in Germany. The Pope and the Vatican should clarify unambiguously that there can be no denial and that there must be positive relations with the Jewish community overall."
I'm not sure, but I don't recall any secular democratic leader criticizing the Pope this way before. Merkel's rebuke also followed a statement by German Catholic theologian calling for Benedict to step down. That doesn't seem particularly likely, but it does seem significant that this controversy shows no sign of slowing down after more than a week.

As Bishop Gene Robinson is added to the roster for Obama's inaugural events, it seems pretty obvious why he and Rick Warren, set to give the invocation, don't exactly get along. Bluntly, Warren is an influential Conservative Evangelical who actively campaigns against gay marriage, and V. Gene Robinson is the first openly gay Bishop in the Episcopal Church.
The gaping divide between the two religious men actually goes even deeper -- all the way to Nigeria, where the powerful Episcopal Archbishop Peter Akinola presides. The famously anti-gay Akinola has led a global movement of Episcopalians against Robinson's consecration. The church in fact split over the issue, twice -- a wide global spectrum of parishes turning to Akinola for leadership.
And when Time named Bishop Akinola as one of the world's most influential people in 2006, guess who they got to write him up? Rick Warren. Just today, Warren was rumored to be willing to help disgruntled Episcopalians get as far away from Robinson as possible. No surprise that when Warren was chosen for the inaugural invocation, Robinson told The New York Times, "it was like a slap in the face."
They've both also said quite nice words about one another, by the way. But still. Yikes. If Obama is trying to "bring people together," that's quite a daring pairing. What must Akinola be thinking about all this?
Photo: Peter Macdiarmid/Getty Images
The announcement that Reverend Rick Warren will be delivering the invocation at Barack Obama's inauguration has already drawn some harsh criticism.
High on the list of complaints is that Warren, pastor of the Saddleback mega-church in Orange County, California, is anti-gay-marriage and recently threw his support behind California's much-debated Proposition 8. The Human Rights Campaign has sent Obama a letter asking him to "reconsider."
Liberal bloggers also denounced Obama's selection. Ezra Klein at The American Prospect said:
There's a difference between reaching out to the evangelical community with respect and surrendering to it. Obama could have called on an Episcopalian or a Methodist or any number of more complicated and nuanced religious figures. Giving Warren this sort of political-religious opportunity effectively codifies his position as America's most politically important, and accepted, religious leader. That seems unwise, and unnecessary."
As Klein himself points out, Warren "is the author of the best-selling book of all time" and concedes an argument (albeit an unlikely one in his opinion), can be made that "Obama's demonstrated respect for the preacher might build some level of rapport, or at least openness, with that community."
But how surprised are we really by this invitation? Obama has reached out to America's most powerful evangelical before, sharing the stage with him for an event on AIDS prevention, (that time it was Warren who drew criticism from his followers) and participating in a campaign forum at Saddleback.
We've had our eye on Warren's rise in U.S. politics. In our World's Top Religious Power Brokers List from October, I wrote, "Whichever candidate wins in November, he'll likely be making a regular pilgrimage to Orange County for counsel and support." It appears the back-scratching has begun.

The Anglican Church in North America announced its plans yesterday to create a breakaway church to protest the ordination of an openly gay bishop five years ago. Up to this point, Anglicans in the United States and Canada who objected to homosexuality had allied themselves with churches abroad -- namely, the Anglican Church of Nigeria.
As FP's recent list of the world's top religious powerbrokers explained, Nigerian Bishop Peter Akinola has profited greatly from his status as the world's anti-gay Anglican leader. So today's announcement might sound like bad news to Akinola, who could easily be described as violently anti-gay.
After my time in Nigeria, however, I suspect the opposite. Akinola made waves when he created his own breakaway church in protest against homosexuality; the fact that others are following simply means his movement is catching on. The man behind the split will still retain strong influence among Anglicans.
And perhaps more importantly for Akinola, he is still strong -- and getting stronger -- at home. Akinola's views on homosexuality are wildly popular in Nigeria, where conservative Christian values are in a neck-in-neck competition with convertive Islamic ones for converts. Religious violence flared up last week at the flashpoint of north and south Nigeria (where Islam meets Christianity, to a large extent). Akinola criticized the government for inaction.
Akinola can make a strong case as the founder of the breakaway movements within the Anglican Church. And he can take credit for lashing out against homosexuality in the church. Whatever your view of the matter, that kind of symbolic power doesn't fade fast.

Today, the United Nations is hosting an "interfaith dialogue" on religious tolerance led by... Saudi Arabia, an absolute monarchy where religious freedom does not exist. I guess it's like John McEnroe holding a seminar on good sportsmanship.
The supposed big news about the event is that King Abdullah just might, maybe, be in the same room as Shimon Peres, the Israeli president, during dinner. Will they shake hands?
Arab News, a Saudi-owned newspaper, credulously reports, "[T]he conference is expected to usher in a new era of peace and prosperity in the world."

Cairo's zabaleen form the backbone of the city's garbage disposal system. They collect about a third of Cairo's trash and traditionally haul it by donkey cart, as seen in this Oct. 20 photo. Largely scorned by Egyptian society, the trash scavengers recently lost one woman who had worked tirelessly for their well-being -- Sister Emmanuelle, a Belgium-born French nun who died Oct. 20 at age 99.

If there was one place you thought you could turn to get away from the "greed" of Wall Street, it might be your Church.
Unless, of course, you attend the Church of England.

Further proof of what the Church has been teaching all along: we are all sinners.

Straight Lines
The easiest and most beloved of all graphs are straight lines. Human beings tend to build, move, and even think in straight lines. There is something calming and reassuring about straight lines. With any two points, we can immediately tell how much a line is increasing or decreasing, as seen in Figure 2.7.
"How much a line is increasing or decreasing" is called the slope and is calculated by dividing "rise over run":
What is the slope of the line through points (2,7) and (–1,5)?
Point-Slope Formula
The most wonderful thing about straight lines is that their slopes are always the same. Thus, if a straight line has slope m and goes through the point (x1, y1) , then any other point (x,y) on the line will calculate the same slope:
By cross-multiplying, we get the point-slope formula for finding the equation of a straight line:
y – y1 = m( x – x1)
or equivalently
y = m(x – x1) + y1
Here, y is a function of x, which could be written as
y(x) = m(x – x1) + y1.
Example 1
Find the equation of the line with slope –2 through point (–1,8). Graph the line.
Solution 1
y= –2(x– (–1)) + 8
y = –2x + 6
This form of the equation is called the slope-intercept form because –2 is the slope and 6 is where the line intercepts the y-axis (see Figure 2.8):
The slope of –2 = means the y-value goes down 2 with every 1 increase in the x-value.
Example 2
Find the equation of the straight line through (2,6) and (5,7). Graph the line.
Solution 2
The slope is , so the equation is (see Figure 2.9).
The slope of means the y-value goes up when the x-value increases by 3.
