I think that religion didn't cause anything good but only start wars, create gilt , hold science back , repressing women's rights, repress sexual subjects , promotes violence racism sectrianism backwardness discrimination ignorance , violates human rights , opression of homosexuals , bigotry , hatred , extremism , terrorism . But sometimes it helps people cope with their problems. I want to hear your opinions and arguments. Plus excuse my English since it's a second language.
PS : I meant abolish not by forcing but using logic and reason.
Some people just can't cope without some imaginary friend.
To answer your question, no. Religion should not be abolished. That would be wrong, and on a similar line as to what religions have done throughout history. Instead, religions should be studied, religious ideas should be openly discussed, ridiculed, taken apart by argumentation and plain and simple, religious ideas should be left to stand on their own merits (which are close to zero), just like any other ideas. If we continue this, little by little, more and more people will see religion for what it truly is: Mythology. And more and more people will side with reason and abandon their "faiths" to the point where eventually (after many, many years) religion will be almost non-existent.
For Americans the first amendment (free speech) is an important touch stone here. So I don't no how you can ban religion without infringing on people's right to free speech etc.
That amendment is absolutely essential to a rational and secular society so best not to mess with that.
So straight up banning of religion I would not favor. However I would be agreeable to removing all the tax incentives that religion enjoys. Let them pay tax on their buildings and their profits. Remove the charitable deduction from the tax code in all instances where the money goes through a religious organisation.
Make sure that no tax money is ever involved in support of religion. Including religious schools. if folks want their kids to have a backward education let them pay on their own dime.
Christianity is on the way out. (More quickly everywhere but the USA) but there is the Islam thing which is a bit resurgent. So their needs i think to be a look at making sure Sharia is not supported in any way, make sure no government support for any religion is the key.
Maybe in time rellgious holidays can be removed from the public calendar. To be replaced by rationally spaced out rest festivals perhaps celebrating science, the arts, and culture generally. People who want to celebrate religious festivals could do it on their own dime in their own time..
We shouldn't control what people think or believe - I certainly don't want to live in such a dictatorship. It's probably only a minority of religious people who give their religions a bad name.
However, people should be educated in the realities of this world. Absurd beliefs should be challenged, and ancient texts held to scrutiny and unbiased criticism. Children should not be offered ridiculous stories such as the creation, the flood and the crucifixion and be told that these things actually happened (at least, not without some evidence to back up this claim). Children should not be threatened with eternal punishment for extremely minor misdemeanors. Religious organizations should not be given special treatment , and should certainly never above the law.
Finally, non-believers should be treated with respect, and our freedom from religious thought and interference should be paramount.
Hi Krozan, I agree entirely, people should be educated about science and reality and if they choose to ignore reality and science to take up religion as their world view, then amen (which means, So Be It).
Also, some, very silly religions are good for us to make fun of and it would be a shame not to have them around to laugh at. We would miss them if they were gone.
Variety, is the spice of life!
Yes, we should not limit their choices, we can and should only educate people about choices, not make those choices for them.
BTW, you seem to be having a lot if Internet technical issues during chat, I wonder if the Nepal authorities monitor your Internet activities.
I believe religion has to be abolished from the public sphere. Of course, to attempt to abolish religion is as fascist as to abolish atheism. I have personally felt the terrible harm religion imposes on some people and get away with it. Family violence, degradation of women, racist opinions, homophobic attitudes, trying to get Intelligent Design into public schools. I could go on, however, I think I made my point.
I am an atheist, in fact I am more correctly an anti-theist. I don't care what anyone else thinks, just keep your toxic belief away from my.
Being atheist opens up all kinds of doors to question authority, challenge dogma that is not based on evidence, think through to solutions based on reasoning. Many more people now can say out loud that they do not believe or have no faith in a super-human deity, and rely on the forces of nature to inform us.
I'm really glad to learn you are with our group.
No, I do not think it should be "abolished" (as in a legal vehicle to do so).
Just because I do not like a particular set of beliefs or speech does not mean I wish to censor them.
To do that is to invite censorship in return; such laws could have a nasty tendency to come back on others.
I prefer free speech and the ability to persuade others their views are faulty or lacking, not abolish them because I disagree with them.
On the other hand, I do support reigning in egregious religious pressure against the secular state. They may play in our sandbox as long as they follow its rules.
When the Bible (or any other holy book) is upheld over the Constitution, however, that makes the claimant "above the law" in his own eyes, and thus an enemy to domestic tranquillity. We have laws against that already.
I don't care enough about whether people do illogical things in their own brains to care about abolishing religion whether it's with logic and reason or not. (Isn't this like "should we turn everyone Christian, by showing our love and compassion?")
It's a danger (and particular pitfall of atheism) to believe that oneself is a particular messenger of logic and reason. I've often seen logic and reason and rationality used to promote a person's opinion, which at best is an opinion, no more or less logical than any other. It's sort of the atheist equivalent to "God is on my side."
An earlier poster mentioned things that become quasi religions, in the sense that they are belief systems that are strictly adhered to. He mentioned things like communism, although I would put libertarianism into the same category. These and other belief systems take away the grey areas, and unlike religion, they make people feel like intellectuals when really they're usually just regurgitating propoganda!
People will still do shitty things to each other, behave irrationally, and even come up with quasi-religions if there is no religion. I'm not sure it's possible to abolish religion with logic and reason.
I think any belief in an imagined deity causes only ill. However, repressing it only increases its influence. Look at what happened in Stalinist Russia. When religion was no longer banned, attendance at Orthodox churches went crazy.
Yes, on principal, religion should be abolished as it is factually incorrect and therefore constitutes a tremendous waste of time and effort for those pursue these frivolous things. Imagine if chemical reactions were looked upon with the same awe and reverence as the spells in those damned silly books.
On practicality, the religous masses are rather volatile. Increased effort to directly affect religion on our part may lead to our persecution. They are the majority, whether that fact happens to be pleasent or not.
I think that one day religion will solve itself with out any active effort on our part meaning it could go out of style. There seems to be a strong correlation between poverty ignorance and religion. And the worlds living standards are constantly improving so i wouldn't say that it's far off.

General Discussion / Re: Anyone have any interest into branching out into desert racing???
« on: April 11, 2013, 09:24:15 PM »
ok, so for reference for the discussion... with building the chassis to spec and then factoring in the motor, suspension, electronics (gps, race radio, etc...) you can build a Trophy truck for about $150,000 and that is being modest and using entry level equipment or a Class 1 buggy for about $75k-$100k with using mid-range equipment. Now on the other hand... You can get an 8100 class truck built and going for like $60k-$75k and if you care to factor in another cheapy bro truck as a support vehicle/ pre-runner, you can get an entire 8100 setup with support vehicle for about $100k, but can be more, it is just dependent on what you are willing to spend. Lately i have been looking more into it all and im more leaning towards 8100 class just because it is a much more viable option for an entry level team and someone who is just getting into desert racing. Not to mention that you arent required to have a full tube chassis vehicle, but in fact it requires you to still have a large amount of the factory chassis in tact, just modified for strength.

Five questions: Seattle Mariners
by Dale ByeMarch 08, 2013
The Mariners seem to be one of those teams that starts every year with more questions—serious questions—than there possibly can be adequate answers. But every year, it seems, some team just like that—the A's in 2012, the Diamondbacks in 2011, the Padres in 2010 and so on—puts it all together.
Why not the Mariners? Well, that depends on the answers to these questions.
Did the Mariners add enough hitting?
Despite those swings and misses (sound familiar?), the Mariners still managed to pick up four proven hitters: Michael Morse, Kendrys Morales, Raul Ibanez and Jason Bay. Unfortunately, they all play essentially the same positions—left field, first base and designated hitter—so they won't be in the lineup at the same time. Then there's this: Ibanez may be past his days as an impact hitter, and Bay isn't really all that proven anymore.
But you've got to remember where the Mariners finished 2012: last in the league—by more than 50—in runs scored, which is not surprising since they also were last in hits, last in walks, last in slugging percentage, next-to-last in home runs and doubles. Heck, the Mariners were the only team in either league to have a team OBP (.296) below .300 and a slugging percentage (.369) below .370. With that kind of background, a guy like Bay, even after three worthless years with the Mets, is worth a shot.
The Mariners aren't counting on Bay or Ibanez to be regulars, but they do expect everyday production from the other two additions. Morse takes over in left from a bunch of guys, the best of whom was Casper Wells and he hit .228 with little power. Morse hit .291 with 18 homers for the Nationals, but he spent the first two months of last season on the disabled list. He also was hurt in 2010, but in a full 2011 season, Morse hit .303 with 31 homers. Obviously, that's what the Mariners hope they traded for.
The Mariners also believe/hope Morales can be close to the hitter he was before a broken leg cost him all of 2011 and all but 51 games in 2010, when he was near the pace of his breakout 2009 season: .924 OPS, 34 homers, 108 RBIs. In last year's comeback season he hit only .273 with 22 homers.
Bottom line: The Mariners hope they've got enough offense at eight positions so it works to keep slick-fielding shortstop Brendan Ryan in the lineup. Whether adding Morse and Morales—okay, Ibanez and Bay, too—is enough depends on the answer to the next question.
Can the Mariners count on their young core: Dustin Ackley, Michael Saunders, Kyle Seager and Justin Smoak?
None of these guys has put 27 candles on a birthday cake, and the Mariners believe they're the future. However, you can't exactly pencil them in and have a pretty good idea what you're going to get. Well, maybe you can with Smoak, which is the problem, but more on that in a minute.
Ackley will be the Mariners second baseman. At least to start the season. But which version of Ackley will the Mariners get? The scrappy 2011 rookie with a .348 OBP or last season's model, still scrappy but a black-hole .294 OBP with 124 strikeouts at the top of the lineup. The Mariners even considered sending him back to Triple-A for some remedial work. Ackley had his troublesome ankle surgically cleaned up during the offseason, but if he starts this season like 2012 was the real deal, the hook looms. The Mariners signed utility infielder Robert Andino, a better replacement option than Munenori Kawasaki and wasted-money Chone Figgins were in 2012. Of course, the Mariners prefer to keep Andino where he is on the depth chart, the No. 1 backup at every infield position except first base.
Third baseman Seager and outfielder Saunders put up their first solid seasons in 2012, but will they fall off as Ackley did or become guys the Mariners count on? Of the players returning from last year's team, Seager and Saunders, had the highest OPS, both .738, and Seager drove in 86 runs, by far the most on the team. The best part was his finish: .298/.336/.496 with five homers over his last 120 at-bats.
The Mariners would love to have Saunders match his season—well, maybe 30 fewer strikeouts and a higher OBP—as the everyday right fielder. Of course, that supposes that Franklin Gutierrez spends more time in center field and less time on the DL. Last season, Gutierrez found his way into 40 games, down from 92 in 2011, which left Saunders as the center fielder. With Morse as the primary left fielder and Ibanez as the next guy up in right, that's not an outfield defense the Mariners want to see, even with shorter fences.
Now let's talk about Smoak. Whereas Ackley, Saunders and Seager each has put together a productive season, Smoak has put together a productive month. After last year's mid-season demotion to Tacoma, Smoak maybe figured something out: .341/.424/.571 over the last 27 games. Of course, that only got him over the Mendoza Line for the season. Mariners manager Eric Wedge has said the first base job is Smoak's to lose. That's been said other seasons, and Smoak has lost it every time, even when the Mariners had less accomplished hitters than Morales, Ibanez and Bay ready to divvy up the first base and DH at-bats. Smoak was an OPS stud in the Rangers system, but he hasn't reached .325 in OBP or .400 in slugging in three big-league seasons. Smoak showed up at spring training looking as if he had paid attention when Wedge told him to get in better shape. Now, can he hit better, too—at least when the season starts?
Jesus Montero?
To get Morse, the Mariners gave up John Jaso, last year's leading hitter (.850 OPS in 108 games). They also made no effort to stop Miguel Olivo from walking away as a free agent. That left Jesus Montero, last year's primary DH, as the only catcher on the major-league depth chart. Let's think about that: Montero was mostly a DH last year, but in 56 games as a catcher, he still managed to finish in the Top 10 in the league in passed balls with seven. Give him another 40 starts, and he'd have chased more balls to the backstop than anyone.
The Mariners have catching prospect Mike Zunino with "can't miss" all but tattooed on his forearms, but he's in a major-league camp for the first time this spring. He's been mighty impressive so far, but it's doubtful he'll play his way on to the roster—yet. But when he arrives, Montero can go back to DH.
For now, DH is crowded, and all the Mariners came up with as backstop backups were Kelly Shoppach and Ronny Paullino (look for both under "journeyman"). So the M's need Montero to get about 120 starts behind the plate.
Before spring training even started, Montero's name came up in reports about the Florida anti-aging clinic that allegedly provided steroids to players. Montero says he had nothing to do with the clinic, but he clearly doesn't need to be dealing with something like that as he tries to figure out how to catch— and throw; he wasn't too good at that either, although he got Mike Trout twice. The Mariners also hope he steps closer to becoming the hitter they had in mind when they traded pitcher Michael Pineda to pry Montero from the Yankees. All that's probably too much to ask, but maybe Montero—with Shoppach as a late-inning defensive replacement—can keep the spot from becoming too much of a mess while Zunino gets ready. Maybe as early as next season we can talk about Montero reclaiming the DH spot.
Can the Mariners patch together an adequate starting rotation for the start of the season?
The Mariners have everything in place for a powerhouse starting rotation.
Maybe even by next year.
That's about the earliest you can expect to see 20-year-old Taijuan Walker in the majors. He's the most highly regarded of the Mariners' four talented young pitchers who consistently show up high—really high—on those best prospect lists.
Walker likely will start this season in Double-A. Brendan Maurer, the newest name among the guys-to-get-excited-about, and lefties Danny Hultzen and James Paxton almost certainly will start the season at Triple-A Tacoma.
But instead of drooling about the future, let's sweat out this season.
The Mariners recently signed up for $175 million to get seven more years—through 2019—of Felix Hernandez. That's the good news. But as part of that deal, the Mariners sent King Felix out for a physical. And that's maybe the bad news. Apparently, the elbow part of the physical—when was the last time your physical included a concentrated elbow exam?—resulted in enough concern that some injury-protection language was added to the contract.
Hernandez won the Cy Young Award in 2010, and probably should have won it in 2009, too. In 141 of 238 career starts, he has allowed two or fewer earned runs, and only a couple of teams would hesitate more than three seconds to trade their No. 1 starters for Hernandez. But pair the elbow concerns with his last six starts: 0-4 with a 6.62 ERA. With all the maybes in the rest of the rotation, the last thing the Mariners need is one at the top.
There's a lot to like about Hisashi Iwakuma in the middle of a rotation, but for the Mariners the middle starts at No. 2. At least, that's where Iwakuma stands, and his 1.83 ERA over his last nine starts says he'll be just fine in that spot.
However, the Mariners must replace the rest of the rotation's center. Justin Vargas went to the Angels in the Morales deal and Kevin Millwood left as a free agent, then retired. That's 61 starts and 378 innings … poof! Unless one of the phenoms shows he's ready, the 3-4-5 guys will be lefty Joe Saunders, most likely followed by Blake Beavan and Erasmo Ramirez or longshot Hector Noesi.
Oh, the Mariners signed veterans Jeremy Bonderman and Jon Garland to minor-league deals, but Garland hasn't pitched an inning since midseason surgery in 2011, and Bonderman has been out since 2010. Garland looks like he'll start the season in the rotation.
Saunders started last season with the Diamondbacks, but he finished it with a 3.63 ERA in seven starts after the Orioles got him to fortify their push to the playoffs. Neat stat: Saunders, who pitched six seasons for the Angels, has never lost at Safeco Field—6-0 with a 2.14 ERA in nine starts and 55 innings. (Of course, that was against the Mariners offense; think of how Hernandez would do in such a situation.)
Ramirez had a couple of sparkling starts last season, but he started only eight games with a bunch of DL time in between. That's not enough evidence to make much of a case one way or another. Beavan had 12 starts with the Mariners before he went back to Tacoma for a tune-up. When he returned for 14 starts, he was 8-5 with a 3.54 ERA. He walked only 24 in 152 innings, which could have been the basis for a great strikeout-to-walk ratio, except he struck out just 67.
Beavan and Ramirez should be serviceable at the back of the rotation, and if not, surely one or two of the prospects will be ready to provide a midseason shot in the arm. Remember, the A's finished last season with a wad of rookies in their rotation, and look how that worked out.
Will moving in the fences help?
Well, let's go to that ol' hardball philosopher Lou Piniella, who presided over the Mariners' only stretch above mediocrity, including the 116-wins in 2001, the team's second full season at Safeco Field. Piniella logged on for an online chat with Seattle Times readers and this very question came up.
"This park here played very big," Lou chatted. "And the air here in Seattle is a little heavier … so it's a little bit more of a pitcher's ballpark. By bringing the fences in, it's going to give the hitters a better chance to hit the ball out of the ballpark. I think it's something that will help the Mariners."
Now, let's go to the stats. According to ESPN's Park Factor, Safeco Field was the most pitching-friendly park in the majors last season. With 1.000 being a neutral park, Safeco finished with a 0.687 ranking, well ahead of (behind?) San Francisco's AT&T Park (0.737). Incidentally, Coors Field in Denver was the hitters' best friend, rated at 1.579.
The changes mainly will affect the left-field power alley, where the home run distance changed from 390 feet to 378. The deepest part of the park shortened from 409 feet to 405, straightaway center moved from 405 to 401 and the right-field power alley also dropped by four feet from 385 to 381. The distance down the lines stayed the same: 331 in left and 326 in right.
"Our goal was to create an environment that was fair for both hitters and pitchers," Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik said.
But it will be more fair for the Mariners' new right-handed punch, Morse and Bay, as well as switch-hitters Smoak and Morales when they face lefties. On the other hand, Saunders is a fly-ball pitcher, and maybe the shortened left field won't be quite so friendly for him as Safeco Field has been in the past.
Bonus question: Will the Mariners again finish last in the division?
No. Hello, Astros. Welcome to the AL West.

Ralph Waite was born on June 22, 1928, in White Plains, New York. He holds degrees from Bucknell University and Yale University Divinity School. At age 30, he went into acting and eventually landed the role of John Walton on The Waltons. After the series ended, he continued to work in TV and film. Following long-held political aspirations, Waite unsuccessfully ran for Congress in 1990 and 1998.
"... I feel in my bones you lose a lot of life's value if you don't see yourself as a member of the family of man. The beauty of life is in people who feel some obligation to enhance life. Without that, we're only half alive."
Early Life
The eldest of five children, Ralph Waite was born in White Plains, New York on June 22, 1928 to Esther Mitchell and Ralph H. Waite. After graduating from high school, young Ralph joined the U.S. Marines and served for two years between 1946 and 1948. He then entered Bucknell University in Pennsylvania and graduated with a Bachelors of Arts degree.
In 1951, Ralph Waite met and married Beverly Hall, who inspired him to go into social work in New York's Westchester County. Bureaucratic barriers and the indifference of his superiors discouraged him and he quit to enter Yale's Divinity School. Ordained as a Presbyterian minister, he soon found himself at odds with church protocol and disenchanted with the hypocrisy he saw in his fellow clerics. Waite eventually found a position as a religious editor for book publisher Harper & Row and also became active in politics, picketing for the NAACP.
Acting Career
By age 30, other demons in Ralph Waite's life began to reveal deeper problems and he went through a period of deep soul–searching. In 1960, Waite began taking acting lessons and made his professional debut in the off-Broadway production of The Balcony. It was around this time that he began drinking and would battle the addiction for the next 14 years. By 1965, Waite was starring opposite Faye Dunaway in the play Hogan's Goat, in which he received critical acclaim and much confidence.
In 1964, his 9-year-old daughter died of leukemia and in 1969 his marriage to Hall ended. Wait traveled to Hollywood, where he found small bit parts in films such as Cool Hand Luke (1967). Waite also continued his stage work in The Trial of Lee Harvey Oswald and Shakespearian classics Hamlet and Twelfth Night.
In 1970, Ralph Waite got a big break playing Jack Nicholson's brother in Five Easy Pieces. Critical acclaim followed, as did many offers. In 1972, Waite was cast in the role that would forever define him as an actor, the patriarch John Walton in the immensely popular television series The Waltons. The series told the story of a small farming family living in Virginia during the Great Depression and World War II. In its nine-year run, The Waltons earned high ratings and many Emmy Awards.
Not wanting to be forever identified as John Walton, Waite extended his talents into other projects, including the title role in the film The Secret Life of John Chapman (1976) and the blockbuster mini-series Roots (1977), for which he received an Emmy nomination. In 1980, Waite wrote, produced, directed and distributed the film On the Nickel, the story of a recovering alcoholic who seeks out a friend on Los Angeles' skid row.

Dubai's 24-hour cigarette ban for World No Tobacco Day
Dubai Municipality is banning the sale of all tobacco products for 24 hours to mark World No Tobacco Day on Thursday.
World No Tobacco Day is observed around the world every year on May 31 and aims to encourage a 24-hour period of abstinence from all forms of tobacco consumption.
Redha Salaman, Director of Public Health and Safety at Dubai Municipality, said: "The move is aimed at spreading awareness about the dangers of cigarette smoking to make people think about the dangers of tobacco consumption, as it kills millions of people and affects the public health.
"The civic body had announced a programme to regulate smoking in public places in 31 May 2007. It has honoured many individuals and establishments for taking firm steps against smoking to promote a healthy life style in the society."
To support 'Dubai without Smoking' initiative of the municipality, 283 businesses, including shops, hypermarkets, supermarkets and petrol stations, will participate in the campaign. All restaurants and cafes are expected to cooperate with the civic body and participate in the campaign by stopping the sale of tobacco products during the day.
The volunteer participants include major business establishments such as Hyper Panda, Safeer Group, News Center, Cadolle, Spinneys, Carrefour, Choithram, Lulu, Maya, Family, West Zone and J-Mart.
Meanwhile, Health Authority Abu Dhabi (HAAD) is urging everyone to help make Abu Dhabi a tobacco-free emirate.
The call also coincides with World No Tobacco Day.
Dr Omniyat Al Hajri, Director of Public Health and Policy Division at HAAD, said: "HAAD, in partnership with other government agencies and the private sector, is working towards ensuring a 100 per cent smoke-free Abu Dhabi.
"Clean indoor air is important to maintaining the health of Abu Dhabi residents and visitors, especially children who are highly susceptible to indoor air pollution. HAAD's goal is to make all workplaces and indoor public places 100 per cent smoke-free."
HAAD has launched a 'Abu Dhabi Says No to Tobacco' programme to reduce smoking.

Product 596/596
Most of the time life bumps along pretty predictably, viruses and vacations, Christmas and work issues, career and relationship choices. This is certainly true for part time Division P operatives Mason Flynn and Cameron Bradshaw. Mason is a doctor and a healer. Cam is a Navy pilot and a finder. Between building a life together and the stresses of managing both their part time and full time careers, life is pretty full for both guys. But sometimes, life throws a world-altering curve ball. Laws change. The past reaches out into the present and drops a miraculous bomb. Psychic stresses develop. People's realities alter in unpredictable ways. But Mason and Cam have each other even as their life grows in some very, very unexpected ways.
Mason and Cam first appeared in Hell Dogs Squadron and Seeking the Balance.

The first known examples of the procedure come from Lucas Cranach and Hans Burgkmair, the latter of whom worked together in some prints with the block-cutter Jost de Negker. Attractive for colour effects otherwise unattainable in printed media, the method was soon adopted by two artists from the Dürer circle, Baldung Grien and Hans Wechtlin, along with masters such as Albrecht Altdorfer. Only a few years after its invention in Germany, the first Italian masterpieces in chiaroscuro woodcut were made by Ugo da Carpi. Although he falsely claimed to have invented the technique himself, he was undoubtedly a key figure in its further development: he increasingly avoided use of the black line block working exclusively with tone blocks; the unevenly cut colour fields endowed his work with a painterly character, as if it had been modelled in colour and light. His successors, Antonio da Trento and Niccolň Vicentino, took these innovations further and influenced other block-cuttersright down to Andrea Andreani, who set new standards partly by adopting unusually large formats.
Another exceptional figure was the Sienese artist Beccafumi, who combined copper engraving with colour woodcut in some of his fascinating leaves.Alongside France, the technical potential of the colour woodcut was also explored in the Netherlands, particularly in the highly sophisticated work of Hendrik Goltzius, the medium's most important proponent there. The exhibition focuses especially on beautiful and rare prints, some of which are preserved only in a single copy.
and Materials and Money and Crisis is a group exhibition that serves as an experimental proposition towards addressing the matter of capital as it exists in the artwork. The exhibition, curated by New York-based curator Richard Birkett in dialogue with artist Sam Lewitt, brings together the work of eleven artists, including new commissions and existing artworks reconstituted for mumok. In this proposition, matter has a double meaning. On the one hand, flows of material and money – and the crisis inducing slowing of those flows – can serve as subject matter for artwork. On the other hand, the proposition implies the deeper possibility of asking after what relationship the physical matter out of which the artwork is constructed has to the dislocation of capital from production, as realized by contemporary finance. and Materials and Money and Crisis looks toward the work of artists who conceptualize unexpected ways in which this constellation of terms hang together. The exhibition includes the work of Terry Atkinson, Maria Eichhorn, Melanie Gilligan, Gareth James, Pratchaya Phinthong, Sam Lewitt, Henrik Olesen, R. H. Quaytman, Lucy Raven, Cheyney Thompson, and Emily Wardill.

From Senegal to Zanzibar, from Egypt to Botswana and from Mali to the Congo, more than 100 artists from different African regions take part in the show. Many of these artists are trained at the two African circus schools which partner with the Afrika! Afrika! project.
Apart from the artistry of it all, the masks and the costumes, the music and the dance make the Afrika! Afrika! quite special. Even the tent palaces with their Moorish decor and carpets used by the Berbers, are part of the travelling show. The tents are open during the show and the breaks, offering visitors the chance to sip tea in an African café or visit a soak – an African market.

Jeff Linkenbach is listed as Reitz's backup on Indianapolis' depth chart and will likely get the start on Sunday.

Switching between breast and bottle is second nature with Closer to Nature Teats. Designed in conjunction with breastfeeding experts, the revolutionary new tommee tippee® Closer to Nature teat mimics the natural flex, movement and softness of a mum's breast, to make switching between breast and bottle easier than ever before. The unique shape of the Closer to Nature teat encourages your baby's natural feeding action so that switching between breast and bottle becomes second nature.
excellent next step.
Love close to nature products. Always a high standard.
I was advised to use these teats as my 2 1/2 month old was sucking and sucking the 0m teats until he was so tired he fell asleep, leaving lots of food and waking every 2 hours for food (this was at 3 weeks old) Now these teats let more thru so hes not demanding food so soon. These are brilliant to wash as its easy to turn them inside out to clean, but I am finding I'm having to throw these after 3 weeks of using them due to the vent getting either blocked or something else going wrong with the teat. I have followed manufactures instructions so there is no way I am damaging the teat when cleaning and my child is not teething. Have considered changing to Avent on numerous occasions due to the vacuum caused by the vent not working properly, and ultimately my child not being able to get to his food.
swapped my 1st teats for these number 2 teats and my baby is fine with them ,the flow isn't too fast , she's not bothered by the faster flow.
I got these teets to replace the number two anti colic ones that I purchased from the high street as they kept collapsing and I thought these might be better having read other reviews. I have now gone back to the original teets because as my baby sucked he was losing most of his feed down his chin, although to be fair they didn't collapse as often as the other ones, maybe the veri flow version would have been better, not sure though.

I am not a writer, nor a professional artist, but I am a business man. I would tell you there is no time like the present to start. Tomorrow is too far away.
If you follow a format like Travis Charest or Bernie Wrightson did and work your story around very little artwork you could get by with a fairly low art rate and still get your words out there (note: I am not advising that Charest or Wrightson could be hired for cheap).
The more you do it, the better you get. The valuable lessons you might learn now while "things are tight" financially will pay off in spades down the road when the money may be less of an issue.
The degree is good for your resume, but many an employer (including myself) care as much or more about experience.
Best of luck.
Stay focused.
Dont take no for an answer, even when you are telling it to yourself.

A Massachusetts State Police detective is seen at Danvers High School investigating a report of a sudden death inside the school, Oct. 23, 2013, in Danvers, Mass. A 14-year-old high school student is facing a murder charge in the death of a 24-year-old teacher found dead in the woods behind the school. (Mark Garfinkel / AP)
Danvers, Mass. � A well-liked teacher was found slain in woods behind this quiet Massachusetts town�s high school, and a 14-year-old boy who was found walking along a state highway overnight was charged with killing her.
Blood found in a second-floor school bathroom helped lead investigators to the body of Colleen Ritzer, a 24-year-old math teacher at Danvers High School who was reported missing when she didn�t come home from work on Tuesday, Essex District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett said.
�She was a very, very respected, loved teacher,� Blodgett said.
The suspect, Philip Chism, was arraigned on a murder charge Wednesday and ordered held without bail. The teen, described by classmates as soft-spoken and pleasant, also did not come home from school the day before and was spotted walking along Route 1 in the neighboring town of Topsfield at about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday.
Officials didn�t release a cause of death and haven�t discussed a motive in the killing.
A court filing said Ritzer and Chism were known to each other from the high school, but it did not elaborate. The arrest was made based on statements by the suspect and corroborating evidence at multiple scenes, investigators said in court documents.
Ritzer�s family said they are mourning the death of their �amazing, beautiful daughter and sister.�
�Everyone that knew and loved Colleen knew of her passion for teaching and how she mentored each and every one of her students,� the family said in a statement provided by her uncle Dale Webster.
At his arraignment in adult court in Salem, Chism�s defense attorney argued for the proceeding to be closed and her client to be allowed to stay hidden because of his age. The judge denied the request. The lawyer, Denise Regan, declined to comment outside court.
The tall, lanky teen had moved to Massachusetts from Tennessee before the start of the school year and was a top scorer on the school�s junior varsity soccer team, said Kyle Cahill, a junior who also plays soccer. He said players had been wondering where Chism was when he skipped a team dinner Tuesday night.
�We�re all just a family. It just amazes me really,� Cahill said. �He wasn�t violent at all. He was really the opposite of aggressive.�
Ritzer had a Twitter account where she gave homework assignments, encouraged students and described herself as a �math teacher often too excited about the topics I�m teaching.�
She was a 2011 graduate of Assumption College in Worcester, a school spokeswoman said Wednesday. She graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor of arts degree in math, a minor in psychology and a secondary education concentration, according to the college�s 2011 commencement program.
One of her former students, Chris Weimert, 17, said she was a warm, welcoming person who would stand outside her classroom and say hello to students she didn�t teach. He said she had been at the school for two years.
�She was the nicest teacher anyone could ever have. She always had a warm smile on her face,� he said.
Ryan Kelleher, a senior, said students related to the young teacher, who liked to wear jeans and UGG boots just like the teens she taught. Kelleher, who also plays soccer, said the arrest of the soft-spoken Chism didn�t make sense to him.
�From what I know about him and seeing him every day, it just doesn�t add up that he would do such a thing, unless this was all an act to fool somebody,� the 17-year-old said.
Ritzer lived at home with her 20-year-old brother and her sister, a high school senior. The close-knit family was often outside, barbecuing, spending time together and enjoying each other�s company, neighbors said.
Mary Duffy has lived next door to the Ritzers in the suburban neighborhood in Andover since the family moved there more than two decades ago. She had known Colleen Ritzer from the time she was a baby and said the Ritzers� oldest child had just one life ambition: to be a high school math teacher.
�All I ever heard is that she loved her job,� Duffy said.
All public schools in Danvers, about 20 miles north of Boston, were closed Wednesday.
The high school�s students were planning a candlelight vigil Wednesday evening.
Ritzer is the second teacher allegedly killed by a student in the U.S. this week.
