I'm sure this has been kicked around before. But wouldn't life be easier for 3dconnexion (upstream) if they just open-sourced the plug-ins and allowed the community to do the work and shape their evolution? I'm assuming all of these plug-ins are using the standard sdk and no proprietary code exists that isn't already available in that api. If I'm wrong, then I understand why.
Maya 2008 is what has prompted this question, btw.

Devilstick Media
Are you a beginner and need some help learning the devilstick or flowerstick? Or perhaps you're more experienced but need some instruction on where to take your skills next? Whatever level you're at we've got a book or DVD to show you how to do devil stick or flower stick tricks from the very basic to the advanced. Whether you're a beginner sticker or a seasoned pro you'll find something in this section to instruct and inspire you.
If you want to learn how to get a devilstick or flowerstick started – the very basic beginner moves – then the Mr Babache Devilstick or the Step by Step Devilstick booklets are cheap but effective resources for beginners. These booklets not only teach the basics but go on to provide instruction on several more advanced tricks and routines. Both are illustrated with clear cartoon-style diagrams.
Chris Dore and Todd Strong have both written comprehensive books on devilsticking. These books contain the basics but also teach intermediate and advanced devilstick tricks as well as providing insight into this prop's history, terminology and variations. Of course, all these tricks can be performed with a flowerstick too.
We also stock a couple of flower stick DVDs that are suitable for beginners and more advanced flowerstick players. While these focus on flower sticks most of the tricks can be performed with a devil stick as well.

Kristanna Loken Movies
It's a rare feat when a beautiful blonde gets the chance to knock around a seasoned action veteran such as
Arnold Schwarzenegger
onscreen, but with the release of
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
, former model
Kristanna Loken
takes full advantage of the opportunity; and she looks good doing it. Born the daughter of a former actor/writer turned organic fruit farmer and a onetime model in Ghent, NY,
spent most of her early years studying dance and riding horses. Encouraged early on by her mother to pursue a career in modeling, the young beauty stepped before cameras for the first time at the age of 15. Landing a contract with Elite soon thereafter, it wasn't long before the girl began to eye an acting career. Getting off to a solid start with a recurring role on the popular soap opera As the World Turns in 1994,
went on to appear in such TV series as Pensacola: Wings of Gold and Mortal Kombat: Conquest before graduating to features with the 2000 action film
. Subsequently appearing in the following year's Academy Boyz, she continued to turn up on the small screen in numerous episodes of the popular series
. Although
's status, to this point, had remained a relatively low-key affair, it was her casting as the villainous T-X in the eagerly anticipated sequel
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines
in 2003 that found her gaining instant worldwide recognition. Beating out such heavy contenders as the buff
Joanie Laurer
(formerly known as WWF star
eagerly accepted the opportunity to relentlessly pummel

The Trouble With Terkel
Though done in a seemingly family-friendly visual style with outwardly adorable CG-animated characters (its trailer sarcastically boasted, "Eureka proudly presents the cutest family film of the year"), this English-language production from Denmark travels the South Park and Meet the Feebles route. In other words, directors Stefan Fjeldmark, Kresten Vestbjerg Andersen, and Thorbjørn Christoffersen contrast the movie's innocent appearance with the crude, violent, and occasionally gory antics of its nutty characters, to ironic (and blackly comic) effect. The story concerns Terkel, a sixth-grade pariah who gets taunted and tormented by two relentless bullies, until he figures out a cunning way to vent his rage by poking fun at his best friend's obese girlfriend. She responds by jumping out a window to her death, but this has the unforeseen effect of increasing Terkel's popularity. Terkel takes to chugging booze and wielding firearms, and life seems like it couldn't get any better. But when he begins receiving bizarre anonymous death threats, and finds that he can't confide in his obnoxious sister or drunken uncle, he's forced to turn to his stoned-out hippie teacher for solace and direction. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

The fifth season of the ms.-adventures of the "bisexual and sapphically inclined ladies and their friends," as Alice (Leisha Hailey) states, once again finds them engaged in all sorts of shenanigans. In the season's ongoing story line, Jenny (Mia Kirshner) finagles a chance to direct the movie of her book and hires an assistant (Malaya Rivera Drew) whose intentions are suspect. Jenny's friends express disappointment in the actresses portraying them in the film adaptation of her roman à clef, but she already has her hands full with the problematic star (Kate French). Shane (Katherine Moennig) is involved in copious sexcapades and continues to utilize her uncanny ability to seduce any woman in the lesbian universe. Only this time, her roving libido puts a crimp in her relationship with the beautiful Paige (Kristanna Loken). Elsewhere, Max (Daniela Sea) begins a relationship with the interpreter for Jodi (Marlee Matlin); workaholic Bette (Jennifer Beals) winds up in the arms of a former lover; and dating woes plague the extremely picky Tina (Laurel Holloman), but her luck appears to change when she spends an enchanted evening with a stunner she met online. The reason why Tasha (Rose Rollins) didn't go to Iraq is revealed as she gets slapped with a discharge for homosexual conduct and saddled with a homophobic military lawyer. Club owner Kit (Pam Grier) faces several business challenges, including new competition in Shebar, "L.A.'s first superhot girls only club." And it's not long before Kit and her posse find themselves in a catfight with the cutthroat lesbians (Elizabeth Keener, Alicia Leigh Willis) who own Shebar. ~ Ray Stackhouse, Rovi

Everyone loves a good, two-fanged fright flick, and from the silent screen to the 21st Century, vampire films have drawn moviegoers to theaters in droves. Much like the immortal monsters that stalk the night in search of precious blood, it seems that our fascination with these strange and seductive creatures will never die. In this ocumentary, interviews with a wide array of filmmakers, actors, special-effects artists, writers, and critics combine with a hearty collection of memorable film clips to explore the evil and eroticism that abounds in vampiric cinema. Vampires director John Carpenter, Underworld director Len Wiseman, and The Lost Boys director Joel Schumacher all weigh in on what inspired them to craft films featuring vampires, while Kristanna Loken and Stuart Townsend reveal what it was like to assume the persona of a creature that so many viewers fear, yet embrace at the same time. Additional interviews with Stan Winston and Greg Nicotero highlight how creative vampires can be tons of ghoulish fun, while writers Marv Wolfman and David Goyer discuss understanding their motivations and critics Leonard Maltin and Harry Knowls explain just why these monsters are so compelling to watch up on the big screen. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The war against the forces of darkness becomes a family affair in this cinematic prequel to the popular video game Bloodrayne. In 16th century Europe, Lord Kagan (Ben Kingsley) is an evil ruler who holds more power than any man alive, but he still dreams of having more, and when he's told of three magic talismans who, when united, will give him intense supernatural strength and the gift of immortality, he will stop at nothing to attain them. However, three warriors who have learned how to battle the forces of darkness -- Vladimir (Michael Madsen), Katarin (Michelle Rodriguez), and Sebastian (Matt Davis) -- have formed the Brimstone Society, with the goal of stripping Kagan of his power and restoring justice to their land. They can't accomplish this on their own, though, so they enlist the aid of Rayne (Kristanna Loken), a half-human, half-vampire who can approach Kagan's sinister gifts while having a desire to do good. However, Rayne is torn about signing on with the Brimstone Society, and for a good reason -- Kagan is her father. Scripted by actress, screenwriter, and video-game enthusiast Guinevere Turner, BloodRayne also stars Geraldine Chaplin, Udo Kier, Billy Zane, Michael Paré, and Meat Loaf Aday. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

After witnessing the brutal murder of his powerful father King Solomon of the Netherlands, a young heir to the throne begins preparation for his ultimate revenge in director Uli Edel's medivel tale of might and magic. An allied royal court has granted refuge to young Siegfried following the tragic death of his father, and in the following years Siegfried trains to become a formidable warrior as his magical mother Hjordis watches over him with a loving eye. When Siegfried acquires a magical sword said to have been forged from a fallen star, he sets out to slay the fearsome dragon Fafnir and lay claim to the gold that the horrid beast had stolen from the mythical Nibelungs. His victory over the dragon affording him the opportunity to bathe in its blood and achieve invincibility, Siegfried's glory is quickly tarnished when the Nibelungs reappear and demand the return of their treasure. Though Siegfried eventually agrees to bestow the Nibelungs the majority of the treasure, his unwise decision to retain the cursed ring that forms the very core of the valuable booty ensures that he will never experience true love for as long as it remains in his possession. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The second sequel to the 1984 sci-fi action classic, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines is the first film without the involvement of director James Cameron. Instead, Jonathan Mostow, the man behind Breakdown and U-571, has stepped in to fill the shoes left vacant by Cameron. In addition, the role of John Connor from the second film has been recast, with In the Bedroom's Nick Stahl taking over for Edward Furlong. Set ten years after the events of 1991's Terminator 2: Judgement Day, the film finds Connor living on the streets as a common laborer. Sarah Connor, his mother, has since died, and their efforts in the second film have not stopped the creation of SkyNet artificial intelligence network. As he will still become the leader of the human resistance, Connor is once again targeted by a Terminator sent from the future by SkyNet. This new Terminator, T-X (Kristanna Loken), is a female and is more powerful than any of her predecessors. To protect Connor, the human resistance sends a new T-101 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) back from the future. Also starring Claire Danes, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines had its world premiere when it showed out of competition at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

Philly [TV Series]
If not the best new drama series of the 2001-2002 TV season, Philly bade fair to be the loudest and most abrasive. NYPD Blue alumnus Kim Delaney stars as idealistic law school graduate Kathleen Maguire, who, after her divorce from assistant DA Daniel X. Cavanaugh (Kyle Secor), put out her shingle as a Philadelphia defense attorney. When Kathleen's partner Marion (Joanna Cassidy) suffers a nervous breakdown, she reluctantly goes into business with highly unethical lawyer Will Friedman (Tom Everett Scott), thereby launching a series-long shoutfest between the two strange bedfellows. If Will weren't headache enough, Kathleen also has to deal with slimy clients, ill-tempered judges, and a seemingly endless parade of eccentric courtroom habitué, most of whom have nothing but sex on their brains. Providing a bit of moral support and affection to the long-suffering Kathleen is her outspoken ten-year-old son Patrick (Scotty Leavenworth). It should be noted that a number of genuine Philadelphia lawyers actively disliked the series, labeling it "unrealistic" and "insulting" -- but they never said it wasn't entertaining. Executive-produced by the prolific Stephen Bochco, the weekly, 60-minute Philly was supposed to have been unveiled by ABC on September 18, 2001, but the network's coverage of the World Trade Center tragedy pushed the debut date up to September 25. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The four travelers locate the book's author, Isaac Clark (Ken Jenkins), who claims to have based his story on his own exploits as a slider. After offering to help reunite Quinn and Colin Mallory with their birth parents on Kromagg Prime, Isaac turns out to have an entirely different plan in mind--a plan linked with a terrible secret stemming back to an incident which occurred during the series' Fox Network years.

We're looking into the possibility of offering an email backup service, whereby every year we send our clients a copy of all their email over the last year, on a CD / DVD which they can put in their computer and browse should they need to retrieve old emails. I think I know how to route all incoming and outgoing emails to a suitable place for backup. Our server runs Exim and emails are stored in the /cur/ folder for each email account. So I know where the emails themselves are, and can burn these to CD.
I'm now looking for a suitable freeware .exe program I can include with the CD to give customers a browseable interface to these emails. Something that would run on autoload when they put the CD in the machine.
Does anyone have any suggestions or is this just crazy talk?
Many thanks,

To me, the way in which you propose this screams "security risk".

I agree. I wouldn't like someone offering my emails on a disc. Not that the host couldn't read them anyway, but just the same.
I wouldn't have any qualms about having the option to download them to my machine though. But do OS's have native email clients that could read them or something that could work with them in another format? So I guess some sort of app would be needed anyway.
Maybe you would be better off listing reputable software choices (or one of your own) and providing a download option?10 Rules for Driving Traffic Using Forums | Ultimate SEO Checklist

It is unsafe to send via a CD. Its a big security issue. Though, if you come across one, please let me know. I want one for my personal emails.
For your current solution, I suggest using a cloud email backup service. I am sure you will find many email back up services which helps back up your data and allows you to download it in a format which is recognized by Thunderbird or Outlook and so on.

Is Iran's nuclear deal a model for the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations?
Published on 5 December 2013 by Ibrahim Sharqieh / Brookings.edu / First Published on Dec. 2 in Opinion
Fed up with managing Israeli-Palestinian negotiations effectively on life support, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry expressed his frustration by publicly warning the Israeli government of the consequences of failed negotiations. He cautioned, "If we do not find the way to find peace, there will be an increasing isolation of Israel, there will be an increasing campaign of delegitimization of Israel that has been taking place on an international basis." What Secretary Kerry failed to mention, however, is that such isolation will also likely include the United States if Washington continues to align itself with the intransigent policies of a fanatical Israeli government.

Ask me for samples of the new RecoverPRO and Maniac. 3Z is coming July 1st Facebook for more info and maybe a great deal on it coming.

Poussin, Landscape with St. John Nicolas Poussin, Landscape with Saint John on Patmos, 1640, oil on canvas, 100.3 x 136.4 cm / 39-1/2 x 53-5/8 inches (Art Institute of Chicago)
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- In the middle of the seventeenth century
- Rome was reborn.
- It was a tremendous building camapign
- and I think about the extravagance spaces
- of the church of il Gesu
- with its extraordinary illusionistic ceiling.
- this was operatic, it was theatrical.
- It's hard to imagine how
- at a very same time
- there we have that broke theatricality
- we have the classicism, the repose, the peacefulness
- the rationalism of Poussin.
- We're in the Art Institute of Chicago.
- We're looking at Possin's landscape with Sant John on Patmos.
- This is a painting that really is about
- classical order and measured reality.
- We know this is Saint John because of the eagle that stands beside him,
- which is a traditional symbol of this Evangelist.
- We're looking at Saint John
- sitting in the foreground writing the book of Revelation,
- writing about the end of time, the second comming of Christ
- are really violent moments,
- but within this incredibly serene and peaceful landscape.
- And of course it's Pussain who has been credited
- with inventing the ideal landscape and
- that's exactly what we have here.
- And it's going to be very important for art history,
- for actually centuries to come.
- Artists will look back at the classical landscape
- and reinterprete it.
- In fact Pussin style was so infuential
- that it became a standard for the French Academy.
- And those who painted landscapes in this way,
- with a sense of rigor and order and rationalism,
- in a kind of ideal landscape,
- became known as poussinists.
- So what has he actually done here?
- He's placed the main figure in the foreground but he's really quite small
- in relationship to the landscape. He sits in a very classicised pose.
- In fact we think that Poussin took this pose directly
- from representations of river gods from ancient Rome.
- And of course Poussin, although he was French,
- was in Rome for most of his life.
- And that figure, Saint John, is enromanited in the foreground.
- He's surrounded by the ruines of classical antiquity.
- We see ruines to his left and to his right.
- And also in the background, where we see the ruins
- of a classical temple and an ancient obelisk.
- So he's in this landscape that has a sense of the passage of time
- as he's writing his book about the end of time.
- The notion of passage, I think, is important to understanding
- the way Pussin constructs a landscape.
- Saint John is placed in the very foreground,
- right at the bottom of the painting,
- but we can't raise back to the middle ground
- where that temple is that you had mentioned.
- Instead, we have a couple of visual paths.
- We may try to go down and straight back, but
- we see water, not once but twice.
- And also a curtain of trees.
- And so that way seems too difficult. So instead,
- our eye meanders over to the right
- and we see a road that seems to go back,
- but it draws our eyes slowly through this landscape
- so that we slow down
- and enjoy the space that he's created.
- And at each point in this landscape
- he gives us something to look at, the foreground
- with Saint John and the ruins, that path way
- punctuated by trees, into the middle ground
- with that temple and obelisk and then again into the background
- with the mountains and furter back with the area perspective and
- more mountains and clouds. At each place
- our eye has a place to rest in the landscape.
- The lanscape is not a specific place.
- This is very much a collage of ideal forms and it makes sens
- for an artist whose aesthetic has been shaped by Rome,
- which itself is layers of cultures.
- Look for instance at this painting where
- you've got the classical Greek or Roman temple
- but it's next to an Egyptian obelisk.
- We actually see references to two cultures,
- both of which had ruled but had both fallen.
- The idea here by showing those ruins is to show that
- there is a new Christian order that will be eternal,
- foretold by Saint John's book of Revelation.
- The landscape is carefully, rigorously composed.
- Everything has a sens of order and structure and geometry.
- But that is so counter to what we expect or
- what we think about Saint John writing the Apocalypse.
- This is a widely violent vision, it is the end of time.
- It's an important reminder that this artist was
- actually studying stoic philosophy from ancient Greece,
- this idea that the control of emotion was of the utmost importance.
- And not just Poussin but the circle of painters that he found in Rome.
- We need to remember that there was more going on in Rome.
- Then the pope's commisioning these theatrical works of art
- in the churchers of counterreformation.
- Poussin found a circle of painters, many of whom were
- interested in stoic philosophy, and that he painted canvases like this one.
- So Poussin has accomplished what seems to be nearly impossible.
- He's created poetry out of the rational, out of the ideal.

Norman Parkinson film screening
Date: 16th April 13
Location: RPS HQ. 122 Wells Rd, Bath
Postcode: BA2 3AH
Contact: RPS Reception
Phone: 01225 325733
Cost: Free
Type: Other
The Royal Photographic Society, in partnership with Bath in Fashion week (13 - 21 April) www.bathinfashion.co.uk , is hosting an exclusive free preview screening of the BBC Arena: Norman Parkinson 60 minute documentary at their HQ in Bath on Tuesday 16th April. Screenings will be at 6.00pm and 7.30pm. The Society's Director General, Dr Michael Pritchard FRPS, will introduce the screening and the film's Director, Nicola Roberts and Arena Series Director, Anthony Wall, will be holding a Q & A session from 7 – 7.30pm.
2013 marks the centenary of the birth of Norman Parkinson, one of the all-time greats of British photography with an incomparably glamorous career which spanned seven decades. To celebrate the occasion, the Norman Parkinson Archive has granted Arena access to its entire collection of over 350,000 negatives. Arena presents an amusing and visually stunning profile of this uniquely talented man with original contributions from his colleagues and admirers including Jerry Hall, Iman, Grace Coddington (American Vogue), Celia Hammond, Nena Thurman and Carmen dell' Orefici – the world's oldest working supermodel.
The Norman Parkinson Archive is working exclusively with Bath in Fashion 2013 to stage a unique centenary exhibition (13th April – 12th May ) which will celebrate one of Britain's most influential and idiosyncratic fashion photographers. The free exhibition has been curated by high profile fashion designer, Roland Mouret
Filmed in New York and London, the Arena documentary presents an abundance of glamorous images and explores the life and times of 'Parks', heir to Cecil Beaton and precursor of David Bailey, whose singular ability to tune into the vibe of the times meant he outlasted all his peers and never went out of fashion. Parkinson became the Royal Family's favourite photographer and brought a new informality to their portraits. The documentary includes BBC's fabulous archive material and interviews with Parks dating back to 1965.
A man of great charisma and a true English eccentric, Arena examines Park's larger-than-life persona, and considers how his well-rehearsed eccentricities were deployed to reassure the uneasy sitter and disarm the experienced model. Once described as an 'elegant giraffe', Parkinson, who was 6'5", sported a twirling moustache, liked to dress in kaftans, loud beach shirts, heavy gold jewellery and a Kashmiri bridal cap. He grew up in a semi-detached house in Putney, South London, and failed to distinguish himself at Westminster School. After an apprenticeship with a declining firm of staid court photographers in Bond Street, he set up his own London studio at the age of just twenty-one. One of a new generation of heterosexual photographers, he was among the first to "get girls to run and jump and let the air through their knees" and to photograph them on buses and in pubs rather than the genteel confines of the studio. Parkinson concentrated on taking pictures of beautiful women. "Being photographed is a whole section of a woman's identity" he claimed, and felt they should always be flattered by the camera.
In his later years, (describing himself as "I look like a decaying colonel"), he further distinguished himself with his Mr Porkinson's sausages, which he produced on the pig farm at his Tobago dream home and would sometimes smuggle back to England wrapped in pairs of socks. In 1990, he collapsed on a location shoot for luxury magazine Town & Country and died a few days later, aged 76.
Coproduction: BBC Arena and Norman Parkinson Archive directed by by Nicola Roberts and produced by Rosemary Tratt

Ground Hog Day?
The remarkable thing about this annual parade is that each season, every aspect of the ritual turns out to be exactly the same -- this enthralling golf outing, the exciting pageantry itself, then the 'story' printed dutifully here, beaming with self-congratulation, telling what a grand success it all was once more.
On my deathbed -- while justly in apprehension of what lies just beyond -- I know I shall be able to derive warm consolation from the notion that, in missing all future Island Style extravaganzas, I will in truth be missing nothing....
God help you piece is sh-t.

Now last year governor on Lincoln Chafee wanted to bad word Christmas from the Christmas tree lighting at the Statehouse street he wanted to call it the holiday tree.
He lost in fact he got his butt -- As Rhode islanders reacted furiously.
This year -- spokeswoman Christine hunting her -- would be -- Christmas tree -- and all of Providence.
That tradition dates back about twenty years.
Well less than 24 hours after -- on zinger said that she recanted saying she made a mistake.
It will indeed be a Christmas tree lighting but she doesn't know one.
That make any sense to you is is -- -- related to the UN ambassador Susan where -- Anyway is obviously more Christmas chaos in Rhode Island and governor Chafee is again behind it.
Apparently he believes that Roger Williams who founded Rhode Island and 1636.
Would not want to call a Christmas tree up Christmas tree.
Or something.
Now this is insane of course is no reason mess around the word Christmas as we've reported president -- -- -- -- and 1870.
Making Christmas a federal holiday so there really isn't any controversy.
-- -- congress revoke -- holiday.
Christmas is Christmas.
-- celebrates the birth of Jesus therefore the word Christmas.
Images of Jesus.
And -- songs of Holmes stories discussing him are appropriate under the law.
Secular progressives -- that they don't like public displays -- Jesus because Christians believe he's gone and Christians are the enemy.
He's been going on for about ten years now.
Really got -- a few years ago with some -- department store chains actually ordered their employees not to say the word.
As you may remember we got involved here at the fact.
And that largely stop.

New York Stock Exchange
Had the opportunity to walk around the NYSE last week. A few of trading booths/posts had been renovated and some older ones were still standing so it was a great opportunity to see the difference between the two and how antiquated the older set-ups are.
Another thing that stood out was the consolidation business affairs into a single room/floor and the decrease in personnel due to technology taking over the need to have people doing business face to face.
No flip-flops.
Also got to see the software traders use to monitor the market and make trades. The market manager that gave the overview made it look easy but he admitted that he wouldn't be able to keep track of all the constantly changing variables without the help of a handful of algorithms and alerts he had set-up behind the scenes.
Field trip during the middle of a work day? Sure why not.

Just when the film world seems to have examined the Holocaust from every possible angle, a new film comes along that shakes up our complacency."Forgiving Dr. Mengele" focuses on the story of Eva Kor, one of the so-called "Mengele twins," who along with her sister was subjected to the Nazi doctor's experiments. Most notably, it deals with the forgiveness of Nazis, a concept antithetical to many Holocaust survivors.

Olympian sets example for those with diabetes
By Nancy Klobassa Davidson, R.N., and Peggy Moreland, R.N.
6 comments posted
The Olympic athlete is an icon of superior physical, mental, spiritual fitness, and discipline. Kris Freeman, 2010 U.S. Olympic cross-country skier, best exemplifies this type of athletic persona. Exercise and type 1 diabetes is a balancing act for the Olympic and non-Olympic athlete that can never be perfected. The feat is challenging for any athlete, let alone an individual with type 1 diabetes.
Long endurance sports such as cross-country skiing, distance cycling, and marathon running can deplete the muscle stores of glucose that may take up to 18-24 hours for the body to replace. If the muscles lose the glucose stores the energy is gone and the race is over (also called hitting the wall). Kris Freeman has trained intensely through trial and error using multiple variables to best determine any situation he may confront and how to balance his diabetes management to pursue the best outcome.
My hat is off to Kris and the many other Olympic and non-Olympic athletes that have pursued how to balance exercise and type 1 diabetes. I have two posters in my office that say:
- Perseverance: Our greatest glory lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
- Success: There is no greater reward for a job well done than the personal satisfaction of having done it.
Thank you, Kris Freeman, for demonstrating these attributes, and for your example to all people and especially those with diabetes; that anything is possible with planning, knowledge and perseverance.
Have a good week,

The problems arise when we begin to believe literally in our own metaphors."Robert Langdon

Ch 1-105
General Errors:
- Dan Brown conflates Gnosticism with the Pagan idea of the sacred feminine; in historical reality, these ideas are antithetical to each other, as Gnosticism believes in a duality where the spiritual is good and the physical, including the human body and sex, are tainted and evil. Gnostic tradition also holds that Mary Magdalene's high status and greater wisdom are results of the fact that she had "made herself male", possibly meaning that she has freed herself from the constraints of gender. The identification of her with the sacred feminine is therefore impossible.
- Brown's characters repeatedly claim that the four canonical Gospels were written after the Gnostic gospels, which were later suppressed. However, the Gnostic gospels are dated to the late second, or early third century A.D., while the canonical gospels are consensually agreed to have been written in the last half of the first century A.D., or the early second at latest.
Errors in Specific Chapters:
Chapter 32:
- Brown claims that da Vinci's "Madonna of the Rocks" portrays an infant John the Baptist blessing a kneeling infant Jesus. However, this is extremely unlikely, as the figure who is kneeling is clearly older than the figure who is blessing him, and all traditions hold that John was born before Jesus. It is also claimed that the Milanese church who commissioned the painting rejected it because of these details. In actual history, the painting was rejected because da Vinci wanted more money for it than was originally agreed. Brown further says that the second version of the painting was done to mollify the commissioning church, and in it "everyone was arranged in a more orthodox manner." However, the only difference between the first and second versions is that in the second version the angel Uriel no longer points to John the Baptist.
Chapter 55:
- Early in the chapter, Leigh Teabing claims that the historical Jesus toppled kings. However, no king's rule actually ended during Jesus' lifetime as a result of his activities.
- Teabing claims that "More than eighty gospels were considered for the New Testament". In actual fact, only about twenty books were available to choose from, and some of them were not gospels at all.
- Teabing tells Sophie that the contents of the Bible were chosen by the Roman emperor Constantine I. Later in the chapter, it is similarly claimed that Constantine commissioned a new Bible, and that he chose only those books which "made <Jesus> godlike." This is a false picture of history, as the Old Testament was accepted by Christians from Jewish tradition, and the contents of the New Testament had already been circulating together as a unit (as well as in separate combinations) among the Christian community for centuries by the time Constantine came to power. In actual history, Constantine did commission new Bibles, but the contents had been agreed upon by the church to be authoritative and apostolic long before. Teabing also claims that the earliest gospels were the ones which spoke of Christ in merely human terms. However, the earliest known gospels were the four that were accepted as canonical, all of which spoke of Jesus as both human and divine. While Constantine did take action against certain sects of heretics, there is no mention in history of earlier gospels, and we know that the Gnostic Gospels were written later than the canonical ones (see errors in chapter 58 below). Further, Constantine's actions reflected the consensus that had already crystallized within the church regarding the authenticity of the Gnostic gospels, including their rejection, which took place in the second century. Though Constantine did help Christianity to spread, he did not form the process that led to its doctrines.
- Teabing says of Constantine, "He was a lifelong pagan who was baptized on his deathbed, too weak to protest," making it seem that the baptism was forced. In actuality, baptism upon one's deathbed was not an uncommon practice, stemming from a fear that sins committed after baptism might compromise one's salvation.
- Teabing tells Sophie that Constantine "decided to unify Rome under a single religion: Christianity." In actuality, Constantine continued to allow worship of various pagan gods and associated customs through most of his life, and even confirmed the privileges of certain Pagan priests shortly before his death.
- Teabing suggests that the Nicean Council was held in order to "strengthen the new Christian tradition." However, Constantine actually convened the council upon recommendation of a synod, for the purpose of confronting the Arian heresy. There is no evidence that the canon was ever discussed there. Further, the issue of which Christian texts were considered authoritative and which were not was decided long before the exact nature of Christ's divinity, as it is understood today, was formally agreed on, in the Council of Chalcedon in 451.
- Teabing confirms the idea that "Jesus' divinity was the result of a vote". This is historically false. The roots of this idea are found in the earliest Christian texts: both Paul's letters and the four canonical gospels contain numerous references to Jesus as God ("theos") and as Lord in the divine sense ("kyrios"). Moreover, the Council's actual concern was over a technical issue: whether Jesus had a divine substance that was like God's, or whether he shared his substance with God — in other words, whether he was a divinity similar to God, or whether he actually was God. The idea of his divinity had been accepted by Christians long before and was present in their earliest documents.
- Leigh Teabing claims at the end of chapter 55 that "both the Bible and our standard Grail legend celebrate this moment <the Last Supper> as the definitive arrival of the Holy Grail." While this is true of Christian legends and traditions, nowhere in the Bible is the Holy Grail ever mentioned. Historians believe that the first Holy Grail legends did not occur until the romances of the 12th and 13th centuries.
Chapter 58:
- Teabing claims that the early church defamed Mary Magdalene as a prostitute in order to cover up her role as Christ's spouse. However, the connection of Mary Magdalene with the "woman taken in adultery" in the Gospel of John did not occur until the papacy of Gregory I in the sixth century, which was at least two centuries after Gnosticism (the source of the idea of Magdalene as Christ's spouse) was officially rejected as heresy, and even longer since the first rejections of Gnosticism as heresy by the early Church fathers.
- Chapter 58 also contains Teabing's claim that Jesus could not have been unmarried because "the social decorum during that time virtually forbid a Jewish man to be unmarried. According to Jewish custom, celibacy was condemned…" This ignores the fact that certain Jewish sects (e.g., the Essenes) that advocated celibacy actually predated Jesus, as well as the example of the Jewish prophets, and the specific example of John the Baptist.
- Teabing states that the Nag Hammadi and the Dead Sea scrolls are the earliest Christian records. This is absolutely false, as the Dead Sea Scrolls are purely Jewish and have no Christian content whatsoever, while there is no evidence that the Nag Hammadi documents existed before the late second century A.D., except perhaps the Gospel of Thomas. In contrast, the four canonical Gospels are agreed by historians to have been written in the mid to late first century A.D., while the actual earliest known Christian records are the letters of Paul, which are known to have been written, at the earliest, 20 years after the death of Jesus.
- In this chapter, and later all throughout the book, it is claimed that Jesus and Mary Magdalene were married, an idea based on the Gnostic Gospels. However, the relevant portions of these gospels are unclear. The kiss cited in the Gospel of Philip which Teabing shows Sophie actually represents, in a Gnostic reading of the passage, a spiritual relationship and not a sexual one, as Gnosticism abhorred sexuality as defiling. Brown's excerpt contains the phrase "used to kiss her often on the mouth,", despite the fact that in the extant Philip texts the word "mouth" does not occur, as the word in that place is illegible. Philip also contains the line "for this reason we all kiss each other," making it clear that the kiss is neither romantic or sexual in nature, but spiritual.
- Teabing shows Sophie that the Gospel of Philip calls Mary Magdalene "the companion of the Saviour," and claims that in Aramaic the word "companion" meant "spouse." However, this gospel was written in Coptic, not in Aramaic, and the Coptic word in question (koinōnos) is neither synonymous with "wife" nor "spouse", but is a generic term.
- Robert Langdon shows Sophie the gesture of Peter in "The Last Supper", and says it is "the same threatening gesture" as that of the angel Uriah in another of da Vinci's paintings, "The Madonna of the Rocks". However, in the latter painting, the gesture has only the index finger extended, in an act of pointing, while in the former, all fingers are extended, as if reaching or making a rhetorical gesture.
- Teabing states that Mary Magdalene was from the Tribe of Benjamin. This is unlikely, as there is no mention of this in historical sources. Further, Magdala (Magdalene means "from Magdala") was located in northern Palestine, while the Tribe of Benjamin resided in the south.
Chapter 60:
- Leigh Teabing tells Sophie that "A child of Jesus would undermine the critical notion of Christ's divinity". However, the idea of Christ having a wife and children does not contradict Biblical ideas about divinity. Mark 10:1-12 shows that Jesus speaks of sexual union as a good, healthy and God-intended act, and Mark 9-10 shows that he adored children. Gnosticism, being an ascetic sect, had problems with these things, but not the Biblical Jesus. Christian doctrine has also said that Jesus was fully human (and therefore capable of marrying and having children) as well as fully divine, ever since the councils of the fourth and fifth century, an idea that is based in the canonical gospels.
- In chapter 60, Teabing states that the rose was a symbol for Mary Magdalene. However, the rose was actually a symbol for Mary, the mother of Jesus, and for Jesus himself. The former is seen in the word "rosary," the term for the structured prayer form of 150 Hail Marys, and the latter is a more visual symbol; the blood-red color symbolized Christ's shed blood, and the thorns symbolized his crown of thorns.
- In chapter 60, Teabing claims that Joseph of Arimathea was Jesus' uncle. This claim is legendary rather than historical.
- Sophie claims that the Merovingians founded the city of Paris. The Merovingians were actually a Frankish dynasty that emerged in the fifth century A.D. Paris, on the other hand, was founded in the third century B.C. by a tribe of Celtic Gauls called the Parisii.
Chapter 82:
- Robert Langdon says, "Every faith in the world is based on fabrication…Those who truly understand their faiths understand the stories are metaphorical." However, Christianity has from the beginning claimed to be based on historical fact and eyewitness reports. These types of stories could not have been conflated in the ancient mind, as all ancient and traditional cultures had sharp distinctions between myths, metaphorical fables and fairy tales on the one hand, and historical accounts on the other.
