The only book of its kind, The New Inquisitions is an exhilarating investigation into the intellectual origins of totalitarianism. Arthur Versluis unveils the connections between heretic hunting in early and medieval Christianity, and the emergence of totalitarianism in the twentieth century. He shows how secular political thinkers in the nineteenth century inaugurated a tradition of defending the Inquisition, and how Inquisition-style heretic-hunting later manifested across the spectrum of twentieth-century totalitarianism. An exceptionally wide-ranging work, The New Inquisitions begins with early Christianity, and traces heretic-hunting as a phenomenon through the middle ages and right into the twentieth century, showing how the same inquisitional modes of thought recur both on the political Left and on the political Right. A tour de force of intellectual history, The New Inquisitions demonstrates how the drive for heretic-hunting manifests in a great array of authors and figures from Joseph de Maistre to Vladimir Lenin, from Carl Schmitt and Theodor Adorno to the lurid works of the late twentieth-century American evangelical satanic panic and finally, to controversial American policies that led to the torture and even murder of accused terrorist prisoners in places like Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, and through policies called extreme rendition. Versluis shows that inquisitional attitudes and actions did not disappear with the advent of modernity, but instead continued to recur in new forms, across the political spectrum and right up to the present day.
"The New Inquisitions is a fascinating and highly original book that traces the intellectual, religious and political genealogy of modern totalitarianism. Versluis has drawn together a remarkable variety of historical threads and uncovered surprising but extremely persuasive connections between a wide range of figures, from Joseph de Maistre to Theodore Adorno to Pat Robertson, moving fluidly from early Christianity down to the contemporary United States. Despite its ambitious breadth, Versluis's book presents a coherent narrative of the origins of totalitarianism that is of central relevance to our own historical moment."-- Hugh Urban, author of Tantra: Sex, Secrecy, Politics, and Power in the Study of Religions
"Arthur Versluis's The New Inquisitions addresses urgent questions. It proposes intriguing links between today's inquisitions and those of the past, and in so doing casts new light on fascinating but often neglected thinkers. Agree or disagree with its conclusions, but enjoy the territory this provocative book will take you through." -- Mark Sedgwick, author of Against the Modern World: Traditionalism and the Secret Intellectual History of the Twentieth Century
"In The New Inquisitions, Arthur Versluis takes a generation of work describing Western Esotericism and launches a new exploration of key issues in Western intellectual history, among others the origins of totalitarianism, the willingness of 'good' people to countenance genocide, and the shared roots of fascism and communism. Using our current knowledge of the despised esoteric thinkers, found under a number of labels -- Gnostic, occult, mystic, theosophic -- he offers a fresh analysis of the emergence of the ideological state and how mystical transhistorical thought/experience might provide a way to avoid its need to squelch all dissent even to the point of employing torture and death. Versluis is adding an important new direction in discussing key contemporary global problems." -- J. Gordon Melton, Institute for the Study of American Religion
"This is a timely and important book in which a major historian of western esotericism takes up the mantle of the public intellectual and demonstrates how the West's modern political pathologies stem back to the dualistic logic of the late medieval Inquisition and almost two millennia of heretic-hunting. Versluis shows how this same irrational fear of religious dissent is disturbingly prevalent among intellectuals on both the right and the left. The result is a call for a return to that 'first America' of Jeffersonian pluralism, and a plea for a more mature religious view that can help us find our way out of that Cave of religious terror and political insanity in which we now all live." --Jeffrey J. Kripal, author of The Serpent's Gift: Gnostic Reflections on the Study of Religion

You see, in 1979 Dorpha and her husband were hit by a milk truck. He was killed outright and she was nearly killed --- the entire right half of her body a mass of broken bones and crushed body parts. Dorpha eventually discovered just how much adjustments could help her and comes to see me when she feels she needs that "tuneup". She is one of those people who always brightens my day.
At Schierling Chiropractic, LLC I have the privilege of treating people with a wide variety of problems (HERE). The thing that I love more than anything else is giving hope to the hopeless. So many of the people I see have been given up on by the medical community. They are often told that there is no solution to their problem --- that is, no solution other than taking lots and lots of drugs. Or often, they are just told that their problems are all age-related. I realize that all of us are getting older a day at a time. I also realize that drugs are harmful whether pushed or prescribed.
We help people climb out from under their seemingly "no-win" situations. I have several patients who, believe it or not, are being helped with neurological problems like Parkinson's ---- just because they changed their diets and went Gluten Free (HERE). Like I tell my patients --- I do my thing but it's God who does the healing. Relieving pain, restoring health, removing despair, and replacing it with hope. It's not just my job, it's my life's mission; my purpose --- the reason I was called to do what I do.
And along the way I get to meet people like Dorpha.

@xanious Do you think you could add a clearer shot of the coins! They look great, but it's little blurry and hard to make out details
@xanious Put 'em up! Would love to see them.
@kumarp13 I think we even have a few steel pennies. I saw you were looking for some in your 1943 penny post.

Urban Risk Management Workshop Arab States Community of Practice 2012
Dates: 4 - 6 November 2012
Location: Cairo, Egypt
Arab region is predominantly urban, with over sixty percent of the population living in cities across the region. In certain countries the percentage of urban population is up to 80 %.
The growth rate of urban population at 6 % per annum is double then the overall growth rate of the region. Many urban centers including Alexandria, Algiers, Aqaba, Beirut, Casablanca, Jeddah, Tripoli and Tunis are major centers of international commerce and trade. Certain Arab cities have significant historical, cultural and religious importance including Cairo, Damascus, Jerusalem and Sana amongst others.
Ironically many of these important commercial and historical cities are exposed to disaster risks from multiple hazards. Seismically generated risks pose significant threat to major urban centers in the Arab States regions including earthquakes and tsunami. Many of the cities are located along four major fault lines; the Dead Sea Transform Fault, the Taurus-Zagros fault, the Nubia-Eurasia plate boundary in Maghreb and the NU-Aegean Sea and NU-Anatolia (AT) in Eastern Mediterranean region.
Historically Beirut, Damascus, Allepo, Agadir, Algiers and Alexandria have been destroyed due to earthquakes. Cairo, Jerusalem and Latkiah have also experienced earthquakes. Experts anticipate the possibility of large earthquakes in the region in near future, due to active fault lines, and the return period trends of seismic events. Sea intrusion due to climate change and urban fires pose other threats to life and property in these centers. In the recent years various cities have experienced devastating flash flooding; including Jeddah and Riyad in Saudi Arabia.
A number of variables have enhanced the exposure and vulnerability of urban populations in the Arab region. The explosive increase in urban population over the past decades, coupled with poor land use planning against the potential hazards, the absence of building construction standards and their application, urban poverty and the impact of climate change are some amongst them. Unfortunately most Arab cities lack policies and institutions for disaster risk reduction. Due to the lack of any major disasters in the recent history, the awareness of communities and authorities is low about the risks posed by latent hazards and the need for preparedness.
In the recent years few initiatives have been taken by UNDP, UNISDR and city governments to promote the practice of disaster risk reduction. These include the seismic risk reduction related interventions in Amman, Aqaba, Algiers and Damascus. Certain cities and municipalities have signed into the UNISDR campaign on safer cities, however, due to lack of awareness raising and capacity development activities by the UNISDR campaign no significant results have been achieved so far.
The World Bank is also working on promoting disaster risk reduction with the context of climate change in Alexandria, Algiers and Tunis. The World Bank initiatives will focus upon the hazards generated by climate change; e.g. sea intrusion.
The existing interventions by the UNDP, UNISDR and World Bank cover few cities, they remain focused upon single hazards and lack long term vision and commitment. In order to promote systematic capacity development in high risk urban centers in the region, it is critical to engage two most important stakeholders; the urban authorities and the UNDP country offices.
The urban authorities have the primary responsibility for safety of their citizens, therefore, awareness, capacity and commitment of urban authorities is a prerequisite to promote a culture of disaster prevention in the Arab cities. UNDP country offices can play a catalytic role in enhancing awareness and technical capacities of urban authorities by implementing urban risk reduction initiatives and programmes.
Regional Advocacy Workshop on Urban Risk Reduction – 2012
The purpose of Regional Advocacy Workshop is to mobilize support from municipal governments and UNDP country offices to design and implement interventions for urban risk reduction in high risk Arab cities. The workshop participants will include mayors/senior municipal officials and UNDP staff from target countries.
The workshop will raise awareness of participants about the nature of urban risks in the region and it will share cases of good practice on urban risk reduction from Arab and Asian cities, including the lessons learnt. The good practice cases may include Aqaba, Bam, Jeddah, Istanbul and Katmandu. The Workshop will also introduce technical tools and approaches to urban risk reduction which municipal governments can adopt.
The Workshop will have an emphasis upon seismic risks and to a less extent upon flash floods. Municipal authorities of Algiers, Alexandria, Agadir, Amman, Aqaba, Beirut, Damascus, Djibouti, Gaza, Jeddah, Sanna and Tunis will be invited to participate in the workshop amongst others. Also UNDP staff from relevant countries will be invited. Representatives of the League of Arab States, OIC, Islamic Development Bank, African Development Bank, Swiss Development Corporation, European Union, Qatar, and UAE will also be invited to attend the event.
The event will help to advocate to stakeholders about disaster risks, enhance their technical knowledge and skills, and convince them to launch urban risk reduction initiatives.
Based on discussions, the Workshop will evolve a set of Recommendations for Urban Risk Reduction in the Arab States region.
Technical experts from BCPR will be invited to facilitate. In addition experts from municipal authorities, UNDP projects and technical organizations will be invited to serve as resource persons; e.g. Aqaba, Damascus, Istanbul, Katmandu.
The workshop will discuss and reach agreements with participating UNDP staff and mayors on the following:
- Programmatic follow up to implement URM strategies in selected cities;
- Using the acquired knowledge for developing local public awareness campaigns.

Steve Gleason, 34, years old was diagnosed with Lou Gherig's Disease earlier this year. Most of you remember him from his blocked punt 5 years ago in the reopening of the Superdome following Katrina.
5 years later, he struggled to walk onto the field for the pregame coin toss and to lead the fans in the "Who Dat" chant. Really sad to see how the disease has taken its toll on him and the hardest part is that after years of trying, his wife is currently 8 months pregnant with his first child.
to this:
God bless, Steve.

The Last Empire
The Empire fell a generation ago. The 3 great Kingdoms of men were destroyed in less than a season of blood and fire. Uruks invaded from the Eastern Sea along with their sorcerous allies, The Iron Circle. Their tide of blood finally broke along the impassible Highpeak mountains when it met the Dwarven Clans. Since then the Uruks and the Clans have held their ground in perpetual, grinding war.
Before the fall, Duke Harsell of Kels had purchased 5 valleys from the Dwarven Clans. He had secured and colonized 2 of the valleys prior to his death in the onslaught. The men of New Kels, safe behind the Dwarven lines, are the only vestige of human civilization left this side of the Eastern Sea.
The time for hiding has come to an end. The time for heroes is nigh.

Dear blogfriends,
You've probably noticed that purple is not really a color for me. It is not a cold hue and it is not as punchy as hot pink, tangerine or citrus.
However, Angie Hranowsky, whom I discovered through the blog Decorology, has a real thing for this color and creates amazing spaces with a bold use of it!

Is investing about timing the market or time in the market or…?
Ed Easterling of Crestmont Research has produced a very interesting illustration of your average annual return depending on when you bought and when you sold your investment. The chart is based on the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index for the United States of America and goes back as far as 1920 (i.e. before the Great Depression.)
The New Yorks Times have republished the chart here.
Not surprisingly using long term average returns is very deceiving. Your wealth creation will be greatly affected by the sequence of returns during your investment time frame.
For me this illustration reinforces the importantance of annually reviewing your progress and making adjustments to your strategy and saving rate.
It also reinforces the folly of blindly 'investing' in the share market with a short term view, expecting to make great returns. Short-term trading is for professionals and those playing with loose change from their deep pockets.
(Thanks to loyal reader Gihan for alerting me to this illustration.)

Oh no, no, no, photographs in fiction books. Not the way to go.
I'm reading a newly traditionally published book. It has grainy grey scale photographs at the beginning of some of the chapters. Another novel I read recently had photographs included. I so disliked seeing them. They totally detracted from the story. If I want a book with photographs in I will buy a nonfiction book. Don't publishers realise that readers enjoy using their imagination when reading fiction? Authors paint pictures with words, they create new worlds for us to visit. I for one do not need photographs to illustrate fiction.
The book I am reading at the moment is set in Scotland and the author creates wonderful descriptions of the imaginary island where she has set her book. I visualised everything she wrote about it. Then I saw the photograph. Ugh. Story spoilt. Maybe it's me but I prefer to use my imagination. I can't see the point of adding photographs.

Two-Time Featherweight Tournament Veteran Joins Season 4 Version
Bellator veteran Wilson Reis (11-2) has been confirmed for its upcoming Season 4 Featherweight Tournament, with the 2004 World Jiu-Jitsu Champion making an appearance in a third straight featherweight competition by the promotion. In his first two outings, Reis reached the semifinal round in tournaments held during the show's first and second seasons, and those two defeats remain the lone blemishes on his professional record.
"I came up short in the first two tournaments, and this is my chance to make things right," Reis remarked. "I absolutely believe that I can win it, and that's why I decided to get involved this time around. I'm going to give it all I have, take it one fight at a time, and in every fight, do my best."
Born in Brazil and currently fighting out of Philadelphia, Reis rallied off seven consecutive victories to start his career before suffering his first loss at the hands of Joe Soto at Bellator 6. He now has six total fights under the Bellator banner, going 4-2 and winning his last pairing by decision over Deividas Taurosevièius at Bellator 33.
"Wilson's part of our family," Bellator Chairman and CEO Bjorn Rebney stated. "He's been with us from the very beginning, and his overall game improves every time he enters the Bellator cage. I can't wait to see the next step in his evolution as he enters the deepest featherweight tournament we've ever had."
Reis started making the first significant noise of his career in the now defunct Elite XC. After winning three consecutive matches with the show, he landed the first title shot of his career when he faced Abel Cullum at ShoXC 8 in Santa Ynez, California. After five grueling rounds, the Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt was named the victor via unanimous decision, making him the first and only Elite XC Bantamweight Champion.
Now a four-year veteran of the sport, Reis says that he is much better prepared for this upcoming tournament, and he credits experience as being the main reason for that.
"I'm wiser in this sport right now than I've ever been before," he confirmed. "I've been training for four years now, so I'm really starting to understand every aspect of the game. The wrestling, the Jiu-Jitsu and the kickboxing, and blending them all together. I'm better than I've ever been right now."
Reis is the sixth confirmed participant in the Bellator Featherweight Tournament, joining Daniel Straus, Georgi Karakhanyan, Kenny Foster, Eric Larkin and Zac George. The competition will get underway in March, with each match being aired live on MTV2.

Composite Decking Tacoma
You may have heard the term "composite decking", but really what is it?
Composite decking is made of a mixture of materials such as waste wood or cellulose fiber and plastic. And while treated wood has been the decking material of choice in years' past, wood-plastic composite decking has become the preferred option, and the choice of the professional deck builder.
The following is a list of major benefits of composite decking for the property owner and preference of the deck builder:
- Minimal maintenance
- Mildew and mold resistant
- No rotting, splintering, peeling, cracking or warping
- Stain resistant
- Ultraviolet resistant
- No painting or seal coat required for installations
- Waterproof
And of great interest to property owners is the benefit of increased property value with a composite deck. It has been reported that the national average of return on investment for a composite deck is in excess of 62%.
We are an experienced deck builder utilizing composite decking, and recommend the use of composite decking for safety and durability! Call us at (253) 533-2333.

The term "Hump Day" applied to Wednesday is how the North American working class hero describes the dead middle of his/her 5-day work week (the German name for Wednesday is "Mittwoch," literally translated as "mid-week"). A hero of the working class, as described by its poet laureate John Lennon, is a person who works for someone other than himself, so you can bet your ass he's counting the days.
On the East coast of the U.S., the word "hump" is a noun, a slur, a demeaning, invalidative name for someone that is more than derogatory. On the West coast, at least in the Northwest part of it where I'm from, "hump" is a verb that is used to mean to exert oneself in the effort to accomplish a difficult, physically demanding task; and sometimes, as a noun, as a description for that difficult, physically exhausting task.
But as I watched the trailing edge of the freight train while shooting this short video, the hump that came to mind was Tehachapi Pass, that geological barrier negotiated by the slender route carved along the natural crease between the northeast limit of the Tehachapi Mountains and the southwest end of the Sierra Nevada range. The two railways that use this route are the two largest in North America—the Southern Pacific/Union Pacific and Burlington Northern Santa Fe (or BNSF, a 1996 corporate merger of the Burlington Northern and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroads).
CalTrans (the California Department of Transportation) estimates that for the BNSF alone, there are an average of fifty 6,000-ft.-long freight trains per day that move through the Tehachapi Pass. That is some serious humpin'.
Talking recently to my buddy Bill Pettyjohn, we were considering all the forms of freight and cargo transportation, ever, in the history of the world. Had there ever been anything that approached a freight train for the sheer magnitude of freight transported? In the history of Western or Eastern civilization, absolutely not. No contest. The cargo on Phoenician trade ships? The volume of stone moved while building the Egyptian pyramids or Peruvian walls? Impressive for sure, but not even close. This planet has never seen the kind of humpin' happening on a freight train.
The sheer magnitude and amplitude of effective work accomplished, represented by one single freight train bound for glory and prosperity across the Tehachapi Pass with a load of broccoli or Ford trucks or natural gas, defies comparison with anything in history. Forget mere Yankee ingenuity. Yankee industry is what fires this engine.
And get this. Remember the Steve Goodman song that Arlo Guthrie made famous, "The City of New Orleans?" Remember all the conductors and porters and engineers and the "disappearin' railroad blues?" Likely as not, the mythical 3:10 to Yuma, or in this case the 5:08 to Mojave that you see in my video, is now operated buy one person. Aided by satellite communications and a Mac laptop, the engineer is the chief, cook and bottlewasher for the whole enterprise.
Good luck getting over your hump today.

When I think of a pregnant woman who is carrying an unborn child, that child has all the instructions to become an adult man or woman one day. It will take many years for this to happen, but non-the-less, over time that baby will grow to full maturity - an adult human being that can contribute to society. Can you imagine all the stumbling and falling that child would experience in the next few years of his life. No one questions whether or not he will make mistakes or miscalculate decisions. It is part of the learning process. In the same way, when a person becomes a Christian, he has experienced what the Bible says "Born Again," or born into the family of God. He has been given a new nature that is responsive to God's heart, he has been given eternal life and the spiritual and physical tools necessary to live out his God given destiny. Even though he has received everything necessary to live out the Christian life from God, he enters a process called sanctification or being set a part. A new Christian has to learn what it means to walk with God and live in obedience to God's will for his life. Just like a new born child can't drive a car the moment he enters into this world, over the next 15 or 16 years of his life, he will grow and mature to become a responsible young man who can handle this privilege. There are no shortcuts in growing to maturity in Christ and being a yielded vessel that God can fill with His Spirit to accomplish His will on the earth. It takes time…period!
Even a mature Christian and one who continues to mature through the years, will make mistakes. We never arrive. Be weary of people who claim they are without sin or are so full of pride they can't let people see their flaws.
The bible says,"For a righteous man falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked are overthrown by calamity" (Proverbs 24:16.)
In other words, a person who loves God will make mistakes along this Christian journey, but he gets back up and keeps moving forward. Just this week, I was working on a promotional piece for a worship event our church is sponsoring and I had to get some images off a well known stock photo website online. I searched under the keyword "worship" and as I scrolled down through the great worship photos I noticed a picture of a naked woman in the middle of all of them. I had the choice to immediately click to another page or continue to admire God's creation. Well, in a moment of weakness, I chose to look at the picture a few seconds longer than I should have. I felt convicted for the poor choice and asked God to forgive me. God in His great love for me said, "Cory get up, dust yourself off and keep moving forward. You are forgiven!" I received His forgiveness and went on with the rest of my day making a difference in other people's lives. God reminded me that I am a work in progress and that I have come so far in this area of my life. I used to struggle with pornography on a regular basis several years ago, but God truly has delivered me and rarely do I feel the urge to succumb to it. The devil was doing his best to try to heap condemnation on me for hours, but I have learned to receive God's forgiveness and really believe I am forgiven! Remember we are a work in progress and though we are maturing, we still mess up! Even the greatest of Saints, if they are honest, will tell you they need God's mercy and forgiveness on a regular basis.
Here are a couple of key points to remember.
One – the Christian life is a journey and it takes time to become mature. Just like the little baby that falls a lot, you will fall and make mistakes along the way, but get back up and keep moving forward. Those mistakes actually become nuggets of wisdom to help others as you learn from them.
Two – Don't try and make excuses for the wrong choices you make. Just admit it and let God forgive you. He resists the proud person, but gives grace to the humble. Those who freely admit they were wrong and look to God for help are met with God's loving embrace.
Three – Receive God's forgiveness, NOT condemnation. God convicts us of sin, but the devil condemns us. Once you ask for forgiveness and you still feel heaviness and condemned for the mistakes you made, don't receive them. You need to fight back against the lies of the enemy by saying, I am forgiven by God. He paid the price at the cross so that I could be in right relationship with Him.
When you accept Jesus as your Savior, you begin this amazing journey with God. I pray that you continue to mature and become all that God intended you to be. Don't let your past mistakes keep you feeling less than or not good enough. Jesus paid an enormous price so that you could experience His very best and be free from condemnation and a life of regret. Remember, a righteous man falls seven times, but he gets back up! Get up, dust yourself off and keep heading into all the good things God has for you. Life is worth living.

The King Father passed early morning of the 15th and will not return to Cambodia until later today, leaving a two day gap for the country to absorb the news and prepare for his return.
Sihanouk died on Cambodia's Pchum Ben holiday, the Cambodian Ancestors Celebration or Celebration of the Dead. As one of the most important holidays of the Khmer year, most Cambodians were off work and many traveling to the provinces to be with family. Phnom Penh was half empty when the news of Sihanouk's death was announced. That morning all Cambodian television stations switched to non-stop news of Sihanouk. The Cambodia Daily had posted a lovely obituary by late morning. Cambodia's other English language paper, The Phnom Penh Post, was conspicuously silent, not even posting news of the Sihanouk's death until late in the day. Flags across the country were lowered to half-staff and foreign flags removed from the Phnom Penh riverfront. Conversation of the day everywhere in Cambodia turned to Sihanouk. "Did you hear the news..."
I walked to the Royal Palace midday. The city was very quiet for Pchum Ben. Traffic was light. As I passed the Independence Monument I noticed a couple of other photographers and then passing cars slowing to take photos of the lowered flag. I walked past the King Father's birthplace - a modest villa on Sihanouk Blvd. It too was quiet. Arriving at the Palace, there were very few people. A few lone mourners and others lingering about, peering in the Palace gate, sitting in front of the Pavilion, seemingly waiting, wondering what would happen next. Distracting, a noisy speedboat blasted up and down the nearby river. At about 5:00PM an organized group of mourners, wearing traditional white, many with shaven heads, gathered at the Victory Gate of the Royal Palace and held a brief funerary ceremony. Some said they were from Kampong Speu province. The group then proceeded up and down the street, chanting and praying. Their final act was to lay flowers at the Palace gate, then dispersing by 6:00PM.
On Day 2, October 16, I noticed cleaning and sprucing going on across the city and the Palace area. Construction facilities were removed from around the Independence Monument, trees were trimmed, grass cut and streets cleaned around the Royal Palace. I'm told that there were small groups of mourners at the Palace in the morning. When I got to the Palace in the afternoon there were many more people present than the previous day. Two incense urns and an offering table with Sihanouk's portrait and piled high with lotus flowers had been set up on the park sidewalk opposite the Pavilion. There were at least a few hundred people there, most of them mourners, some just milling about watching. Many people videoed and took photos with their phones and iPads. The press was thicker today, likely much thicker tomorrow. People lit candles, burned joss sticks and prayed. Some cried openly.
By sunset more offering tables and kneeling rugs had been put in place, scores of candles lined the sidewalk and the crowd had grown to more than a thousand. A truck arrived and hoisted an enormous portrait of the King Father into place, filling the empty frame on the face of the Pavilion. The crowd's attention turned to the portrait. To the 'ooos' and 'ahhs' of the onlookers the Palace lights were switched on for the first time since Sihanouk's death. A gathering formed in the street in front of the Pavilion portrait and prayers were said. As I left around 7:00PM the activities continued and there were still at least a thousand there, maybe two. Back at home, the Cambodian TV stations are playing all-Sihanouk-all-the-time, including a lot of fascinating historic newsreel, propaganda and documentary films.
The King Father will return to Cambodia today, Day 3, at 3:00PM, and the formal proceedings will begin - the first Cambodian King's funeral since the death of King Suramarit in 1960. People from the countryside should begin pouring into the city over the next few days to pay their respects. The government gave an initial prediction of 100,000 mourners. I think more.

HAP Executive Director Visits Pakistan
ISLAMABAD: On August 31, 2012, Church World Service-Pakistan/Afghanistan (CWS-P/A) hosted a consultative meeting with Marian Casey Maslen, Executive Director of HAP, and members of Humanitarian Accountability Partnership (HAP). Nearing its 10th anniversary, HAP and its principles find a stronghold and relevance among the humanitarian community in Pakistan. Out of 87 HAP members, 14 organizations in Pakistan are members or associate members making it the country with the highest number of national NGO HAP members.
The meeting provided a rare opportunity for members to meet face to face with a representative from the HAP Secretariat based out of Geneva. Twenty-two participants from 11 organizations attended the meeting, where candid discussion and information sharing proved beneficial for all. A presentation on HAP, its priorities for the coming year, and the initial efforts of the Joint Standards Initiative gave participants an opportunity to keep HAP in perspective and provide feedback and input. In discussion on the local context of conflict and disasters, the participants were able to share firsthand experiences and opinions on the role, challenges, and gaps in accountability in Pakistan. The role of negative media, corruption, and geo-political issues and the effects on humanitarian aid were some of the issues shared by participants.
In Pakistan, the frequency and extent of the effects of conflict and natural disasters on the population pose challenges to the government and non-governmental organizations in achieving a level of response that meets the needs of the people, fairly and without discrimination, and that maintains respect and dignity of all people of all backgrounds. Although the HAP members expressed appreciation for the leading role that CWS-P/A has taken, the commitment and follow through of all member organizations and collaborative efforts such as the Accountability Learning and Working Group establish a foundation for positive change in humanitarian accountability in Pakistan. Efforts to lead by example and to empower communities with knowledge of their rights to life with dignity complement efforts to bring attention to the need to mainstream accountability at the policy level.
The event supported collaborative efforts between the HAP Secretariat and HAP members including the need to raise the importance of accountability among the government, donor community, and humanitarian agencies. The HAP Principles of Accountability and the HAP standard requirements as outlined in The 2010 HAP Standard in Accountability and Quality Management define the basis of a tangible and measurable commitment toward accountability. Organizations that express commitment and complete a specific process have the potential to earn HAP certification. Marian Casey Maslen emphasized, however, that it is not only about achieving certification but also about the commitment and change in mindset. The HAP Secretariat and the HAP members in Pakistan also expressed commitment to the aforementioned Joint Standards Initiative which aims to bring two other standards, The Sphere Project and People in Aid, together on one platform to discuss commonalities and address gaps in quality and accountability of humanitarian response at the global level.
CWS-P/A will continue to work with the HAP Secretariat to bring cost-effective services to smaller organizations including the HAP certification process. It will also continue to raise awareness on the three key international standards and the commitment toward quality and accountability that they reflect. As of earlier this year, CWS-P/A's Deputy Director, Zainab Raza, was elected as Vice Chair of the HAP Board. In her role, she will have the opportunity to voice the experiences, challenges, and needs from Pakistan while she works with the other Board members to bring about commitment and efficient change in accountability on the global platform.
Despite the many challenges and need for greater accountability in Pakistan, the turnout and active engagement of the HAP members during the consultative meeting indicate that progress is being made. The growing influence of HAP on humanitarian agencies in Pakistan and the positive impact that implementation of the standard has on disaster-affected communities signify a much needed and welcomed change in humanitarian response.

What a Fool Believes
Today's column for the Daily Banter pegs off of two recent Cesca pieces, one regarding Pastor Rick Warren's latest tirade against gays and gay impulses and the other dealing with religion in general and how progressives ought to approach it.
Yes, it's one of those kinds of religion pieces for me.
Here's the opening shot:
"Some of the most entertaining columns written for this site, I think, come from the times when Bob Cesca and I decide to get into a back-and-forth over subjects we're passionate about. While we both write here and host a podcast together, we obviously don't agree on everything nor should we; what the hell fun would that be? A couple of weeks back, Bob posted a piece that suggested that progressives need to stop demonizing people of faith and criticizing religion in general as being, essentially, a crutch for those not as evolved as, I guess, the liberal intelligentsia (who are generally insufferable anyway). From a purely PR perspective, he's absolutely right. I'm always one for acknowledging political reality, and it clearly dictates that contemptuously mocking someone's beliefs from on-high is the wrong way to win that person over to your cause. Bob's right on the money about this."

You may well be right, but I just can't get past Warren, and pretty much all high profile mega-church pastors, as people who said "What do rural conservative white people believe?" and created a version of Christianity the conforms to their world view (what they do is never a sin and what "other people" do are the greatest of sins) so the Churches can make millions off tax free donations.
But I can't say that removing such cynical opportunist hucksters would change any of the problems religion and/or faith cause.

I swear, somebody needs to push hypocrites like Warren out of the closet for the betterment of society. I don't get it but, it seems that you can rape children in the church and get away with it but, if you're gay, that's it, you're a pariah. How being gay is worse than raping children is beyond logic but, as you pointed out, logic and reason are the antithesis of religion.

by Oct 17, 2013 8:37 pm0
Apple is reportedly preparing to their new products in the near future. One of the much-awaited appearance is iPad Mini 2, this next generation iPad Mini tablet is expected to give a new feature than a predecessor. But we've just got the new rumor about the next generation iPad Mini, what ?
According to recent leaked information, the iPad Mini 2 will has 6.81 millimeters thickness. That's mean the new iPad Mini 2 will has 0.4 millimeters thinner than the current iPad Mini. But this picture is also taken to indicate that the second generation of iPad Mini will not receive additional screen resolutions.
The recent rumored syas that the new iPad Mini 2 will has 7.9-inch screen with a resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels, up from 1024 x 768 pixels in the first version. However, if both the iPad Mini will use the Retina display trechnology, the body thickness may increasing, but the leaked picture incdicate that the new iPad Mini 2 will not use retina display technology just only use the same display as the recent iPad Mini.
The leaked images show us the same color of iPad Mini 2 which covered with gray space color. How about the TouchID in iPad Mini 2? unfortunately, there is no information about that, so we have to wait and see.

This might have the size of xperia p or S without the light strip and cap at the bottom.
AnonD-179010, 25 Aug 2013I wanted small but this is just too small. I wanted a 4.3 inch phone but I doubt this is even ... moreThat is a great size. I was going to buy GS4 Mini, I guess I have to hold off on that now.
AnonD-166518, 25 Aug 20134 inch is just too small now a days. I think the ideal screen size should be 4.5" or 4.6&... morelol... too small for people with big hands..
i don't think that is xperia Honami mini, it mighty be a entry level phone to replace xperia E.
The purpose of Honami Mini is to appeal to the iPhone crowd who wants to switch over to Android, but doesn't want a half-arsed phone like all the other Minis out there. That's why it's not 4.5-4.7", because then it'd be too large. If you want a bigger superphone then get Honami itself. If you want something inbetween, then the ZR is a nice fit, even if it isn't as powerful.
4 inch is just too small now a days. I think the ideal screen size should be 4.5" or 4.6". I think Sony can squeeze a 4.7" on a 4.5" screen phone with the help of narrow bezel, just like xperia XL.
I wanted small but this is just too small. I wanted a 4.3 inch phone but I doubt this is even 4. Why Sony. Whyyyyy???
Wow... Such "clear" picture...
AnonD-77351, 25 Aug 2013FAKE, the Q10 looks blurrier than the HonamiI'm not sure which is blurrier but I'm already sick of those blurry leaked images. I could take sharper images with the 2005 phone with a VGA fixed-focus camera that I had. And now we're in 2013 and photos are blurrier than ever. And, of course, the wood behind the phones is sharper than the phones themselves???
Im kinda bored with this trend all the company does the same shit! They launch some crap model then they launch smaller of model with the same name adding mini to it!! Else they correct their mistakes adding + to it.. we want something new and different may be Nokia does it..
i hope it dont have 3 onscreen buttons. I hope it has real buttons. But nice specs. Need a little less width. Looks fat due to this. Just my opinion
If those dimensions are right, then it is likely that the phone has a 3.7" screen. Xperia Sola (3.7") had dimensions of 116x59mm so this one might have the same screen with smaller bezels.
Or if it has as slim bezels as Xperia Zl had, then 4.0" may just fit in.
i hope it dont have 3 onscreen buttons. I hope it has real buttons. But nice specs. Need a little less width ie the picture is true
I will definitely buy. Time will come that 4.3 screens will be more expensive than 5-inch or more smartphones for delusional bear-handed people.
Anonymous, 25 Aug 2013Oh honami! But screen should be 5 inches. Honami is 5-inch, Honami mini is 4.3.

I love mangas.
Why do i love mangas ? Simply because it's great. Same apply to anime, which i prefer than movies as the freedom of having no physical rules allow the maddest experiments. Japanese people are lovely crazy people and i'm attracted to madness like a moth to a burning flame. This is part of the reasons why i'm still living in Shanghai after all… Anyway, some mangaka have some of the most twisted minds upon this world and i'm always amazed how far it can go. I mean, i don't pretend to be necessarily mentally sane or stable myself, but i'm feeling good knowing there's a way to go even further in the mutation of reality.
Here are the 16 pages of this short manga called Abstraction by infamous Ero-Guro manga maestro Shintago Kago, who's one of my favorite when it comes to experimental illustrations and out-of-this-world representations.
Warning though, this is not for the weak or the easily shocked ones. This is raw and crude, surrounded by a totally awesome visual trip.
Enjoy and bless !
