Dude, have you ever shot par?: Light
The rain relented yesterday and Los Angeles looked like a vagrant freshly showered and shaved, surprisingly beautiful. Joined by Richard, Tom, and Jim, I was among the first to walk Rancho's fairways at seven.
"Light is more beautiful out here. Book-ending the day are those brief spans-- the movie business calls them “magic hours” --when the sunlight is a deep gold and the shadows are so dark they think it’s still night. Backlit you are treated to a vision of crystal clarity. Turn around and the dew sparkles like a sweeping field of diamonds. The fairways are double cut, leaving a wide expanse of checkerboard."
From Rub Of The Green by Brock Walsh which will, with a little luck, appear in bookstores soon.

Brock - your imagery speaks to my own sense of light and dark - in painting, in printmaking, in drawing - like you, many of of us are, at this time of our lives, engaged in an intense re-creative journey gathering a past and a future into a present filled with memory and hope.
Brock Walsh January 26, 2010 at 8:08 PM
The only other choice is to watch our creative selves dissolve, not a viable one. And where might we see your sense of light manifest?

Ed and Karen Rock Hanoi, Vietnam: June 2007
Another New Diggs
We found our new place, and it is awesome. I know we said that about our last place as well but this time we really mean it.
Today is Friday, June 29th and I am sitting in a computer lab listening to one of my students take a TOEFL practice test. So I have decided to use my time wisely and create a blog about my life for the last couple of days and next couple of days.
I went on a day trip with my school yesterday which I haven't yet recovered from completely. I woke up at 5am and got ready. I hopped on my motorcycle at 5:30 and sped to my school where I led 18 students on to a bus that departed for Dam Long park and I have to tell you, it was a damn long day. I got back to school around 4pm and had to get ready for a 6pm class. Yes, that is 14 and a half hours of work on Thurs. I rounded out my evening with Karen at Finnigans Irish Pub for a quiz night where once again, we came in second. I arrived back home at 2am to end a 21 hour day.
I am working from noon until 8:30 today where when finished I must race home to pack up my belongings in preperation for the big move tommorow. Sounds like fun right? I also have to work on Saturday for five hours and be back home by 7pm to receive the moving van that will take our personals to our new home. Karen, doing more than her share of the work, will be home this afternoon washing everything fabric(clothes,bedding etc.)in the house. I swear, it is worth it.
I don't want to spend too much time describing the house as I plan to give a guided video tour that you can watch right here at this blog. So those of you reading this before the video has been added, be patient and check back in a few days. I may add a little more about the problems and difficulties that are sure to surface over the move. As always, pray for us, and I will be in touch.

Why Do I Bia Hoi? I Bia Hoi, Cuz I Can.
I have been quite critical of the Vietnamese in the past, I have commented on their driving, eating, bathing, habits, nose picking and so on, but now I would like to talk to you about something that is absolutely brilliant. I have mentioned this to friends in the past but I have yet to blog about it. This needs to be recorded for prosperity. BIA HOI, BIA HOI HANOI and many other similarly named establishments are pure genius in their simplicity. They are beer stands. Almost every street and road in Hanoi has a BIA HOI (beer stand) where for, believe it or not, 15 cents you can purchase yourself a tall glass of ice cold beer. Your 15 cents also works as rent where with your cold draught comes a cheap blue, red or black stool on which to sit and a tiny piece of property out of the sun.
The draught beer that is sold at the BIA HOI's is delivered daily and contains no preservatives. So not only is it quite literally the cheapest beer in the world, but it is healthier than most beer, and contains a mere 2 to 3.5 alcohol percentage, so you can drink it all day and not have to worry about getting too drunk. You can also bring your own containers and fill them up with the draught to take home with you. I have seen people filling up 5 litre water jugs with BIA HOI beer to take home. How awesome is that?
One of the most beautiful aspects of the BIA HOI is the opportunity that it gives even it's most destitute customers, of being able to stand up and say " A round of beers for everybody!" How often can you say that in a drinking establishment with more than twenty customers and still have it cost less than a couple of dollars. Pure genius.
Imagine the popularity of such an establishment in Halifax. Have a tent set up on Spring Garden Road with a stack of plastic stools, and some umbrellas for shade. You could sit on the corner on a hot summer day and watch the ladies walk by, or the men, depending on who is reading this. ( I'm talking about you Larry, wink wink)And most importantly, have an ice cold draught in your hand.
But alas, such a thing would never be allowed in Nova Scotia, or any other part of Canada due to the strict alcohol legislation and enforcement. So, if you want to experience the simple pleasure of sitting on the road drinking 15 cent draught and observing the madness and mayhem going on all around you on a hot afternoon, your only option is coming to Hanoi, where we will have a stool waiting for ya.

Man Strollers and the rolling death machine
There is a means of transportation in Vietnam that I am loathe to take. It is called a cyclo and it is nothing more than a large baby stroller for adults. It is powered by a wiry, smelly, alcohol powered Vietnamese man pedalling furiously on the custom designed bicycle that powers the man stroller. It is a metallic box on two wheels with padded seats and a rooftop for protection from the constant thunder and lightning showers that plaque Hanoi. They are loaded down with swinging bells to attract the attention of the shell shocked backpackers, elderly tourists and the army of banana pancakers roaming the Old Quarter of Vietnam.( Banana Pancakers are called so due to thier all-consuming desire to eat only local fare and live in the nastyest, cheapest guesthouses available. They seem to exist mostly on a diet of banana themed foods, the king of which being the banana pancake) Karen guilted me in to experiencing this obnoxious display of man-powered indignity and I will never do it again. As if I don't stand out enough on the streets of Hanoi as a hairy, six-foot tall, mountainous Western sweat machine. I have to add to my carnival like oddity showcase by riding around town like some kind of petty prince, with some Vietnamese man panting and sweating behind me as he struggles to keep the carriage moving forward with the obsticle of my considerable girth slowing him down. Yes, never again.
The other vehicle I need to mention is the rolling death machine. I have been seeing these more and more as we enter the hottest season Vietnam has to offer. They are modified wheelbarrows with a bicycle style man-engine powering it. Much the same design as the man-stroller, it is used mostly to transport pointed metal rods from place to place. It looks like some kind of medeival torture device as it comes rolling toward you while you are riding your motabike,(I still can not refer to these Honda Waves as motorcycles)down the narrow Hanoian streets. I have seen heartstoppingly close encounters with overzealous motorbike riders coming within mere inches of the deadly spikes before careening out of the way at the last possible micro-second. I will make sure I take pictures of both of these things, once again, just to prove that I am not making this up.

10 Things I've Learned in Vietnam
1. Traffic lights are only suggestions.
2. Seafood in Vietnam is called that because you are guaranteed to "See" it again.

Revenge of the Dreamers | Talking With BA
← TO MOTHERS ON FATHER’S DAY
Why Are Black Women Subjected to “Different Standards” and Humiliation →
Revenge of the Dreamers	Posted on July 9, 2014	by Brandon Allen “We have three responsibilities: 1.) To dream 2.) To believe that dream is attainable 3.) To work hard everyday towards that dream…”- J. Cole
In today’s era when you ask young black youth what they want to be when they grow up, you will hear from most of them to be some athlete or entertainer that they believe will make them millions. There is nothing wrong with those dreams, especially if you have the talent to be within those fields. But the problem seems to be that there is a belief amongst the youth that these are the only avenues that lead to monetary success or the only way to remove their families out of the ghettos that they currently inhabit. My question would be to the black community, where is our black version of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Warren Buffet etc. and other millionaires and billionaires? It seems we have been brainwashed to only have certain dreams, which has trickled over to the youth to have this vision of this avenue that leads to exploitation of our physique and not appealing to our mental gifts. A couple of weeks ago while at work, an older white man said to me he had a basketball court put in his backyard and that I should know something about that, which showed me how we really are viewed. Even parents today force these types of agendas on their children, such as fathers pressuring their sons to play sports or mothers pressuring their daughters to do pageants.
Recently Dr. Dre donated 75 million dollars to USC for their music program, which I was very critical of because first HBCU’s are being closed across the U.S. and nobody is willing to donate to black schools to keep them open and also he was all to eager to give to a university who wouldn’t have supported him in his road to success with him being with NWA and topics of his raps, basically they did not support him to grow but now their asking for his support now that he’s successful and he did it. But then he sold his successful headphone company to Apple, in which he caught further backlash from people, but this time I did not criticize him for this. I did not criticize him because who did the black community have? Who in the African-American community is creating innovative technology for the world to use? I say this because if we aren’t there how can we be mad when we are not given the opportunity.
Besides writing blogs I work for the USDA and also am head of the African-American Program for one of its districts. At this training I recently attended, a young lady posed the question “how can we focus on recruiting minorities if there are no minorities to recruit”? In which I had to agree.
We are so caught up in saying we are being left out, and I know history has not been so kind to us, and job inequality has been an ongoing battle, but we aren’t dreaming or focusing in the avenues where its potential to prosper. And despite the challenges we will face, we must remember we cannot give up. We cannot sit around and be subjected to just athletics and entertainers. We are so much more than that, and some use their gifts in the wrong manner, for example: When most people see I drug dealer, I see a business man who is using what market he is exposed to and someone whose drive needs to be refocused into a positive platform.
We are greater than what we have been subjected to believe to be our ceiling point. We must remember no dream is too large and it is not enough to dream we must be encouraged and encourage others, act upon it, study the rules to our dream and occupation, and make sacrifices. If we want to be a fashion designer be that, invest in the classes you take, the fabrics, whatever it is. If you want to build the next great electronic, study what others have done before you, what’s innovative, what’s needed etc. But we must also remember that success is often not immediate and that you have to find that starting point and work up from there. The time will come anyway, 2 years will be here in 2 years so if you say to yourself “man it’s going take me 2 years to be at that next level”, don’t let that stop you because that 2 years will come regardless if you are working or not.
We have the talent, drive and will to have a representative in various fields that we seem to have forgotten that exists or at least forgot that someone had to make the phones, clothes, businesses that we use. We have to start supporting our people when these endeavors come about. Instead of shopping European or Italian, let’s support black businesses, instead of bullying the “nerd” lets help him create the next Facebook or iPhone or what have you (dream BIG). It starts with support and it has to start from somewhere.
Lastly I have to thank J. Cole for this title because that is what inspired this blog post. I look at the community it seems we have forgotten to dream and that the dream is attainable. It seems that we have this notion that our dream should be limited to this realm and if we dream anything larger or “different” then its made to be ridiculed or we are silly. Understand this and its simple: YOU CAN DO ANYTHING……….This is “REVENGE OF THE DREAMERS”.

If Graham would have invested 1000 € into each holding then he would today have been +54.8%, I would of course have been +0% due to zero picks and if one would have bought all of them then one would have been +22.9% on the investments with an around two years holding time.
It is noteworthy that Graham picked one of the rockets, Turbon, but neither of us picked the BIG rocket which was Gravity. When I analysed Gravity I had never hear about them or even seen them around... today one see, especially on blogs, advertisement that are connected to Gravity.
Conclusion: The Graham formula was this time very good in its selection. All the really bad ones were avoided and one of the seriously good ones were chosen. That is indeed good. I was more hesitant in my selection based on the analysis but I own today one of the companies on the list... one of the, share price wise, bad performers namely IBM. If one would have bought all of them one would have received an acceptable return by the look of it. Once again one should not listen to me and this time it would have been more than ok to have listened to Graham.

"With a healthy balance of criticism and respect for the subject, this book examines how the Jewish Bible became “The Bible.” It is common to speak of the Bible as “inspired”—a group of mysterious documents miraculously handed down from heaven, absolutely perfect in form, every word, every letter, carrying specifically divine significance, but it was just well edited. This book is an excellent choice for a Bible history or Bible as literature undergraduate course text. Writing in ancient societies performed quite a different function from its modern usage. We must constantly remember that writing for the ancients was preservative rather than creative. The Bible preserves such debate and differences of opinion."
Charles Isbell is a professor of biblical and Hebrew studies at Louisiana State University and the author of several books relating to Old Testament studies.
For Jews, Christians and Muslims, Isbell's balanced judicious treatment of the Hebrew Bible will appeal to all educated nonspecialists. -- CHOICE, Dec. 2000 Vol 38 No. 4, Review by Dr. H. O. Forshey, Miami University
The most honest Biblical discussion available today. This book should be in every home next to the Bible itself. -- Dr. Lester Ness, Institute for the History of Ancient Civilizations

Reflections on Life: The Void Within
Discovered the following that I wrote in 2009 and it remains true today. Wish it wasn't so but have no idea how to change anything. With what do I replace the loss of all my loved ones? Most departed and others living far away. I have become an orphan without any family nearby for support and comfort. No one to share memories with. As we become seniors that is an enormous need.I just have to write this down since it is the first time that it has finally reached a concrete level of awareness for me. The only way I can describe it is to say, that I feel this huge craving/void that starts from my throat and descends to the pit of my stomach. It constantly needs to be fed but regardless of what I put into it, whether by smoking, drinking, food, chocolates, music, etc. etc. it won't go away. IT JUST WON'T GO AWAY!!!!!! I haven't found a way to feed it. It feels like a cancer......! Always looking for a source of nourishment and coming up with nothing. It began 30 years ago with the constant episodes of being in survival crisis, the death of Arch and my boys leaving home, it slowly began eroding my skin and bones until it left me disabled. Then to my mouth that has left me without the pleasure of enjoying food. The question now becomes, how much further will it grow in order to be fed? To my mind, heart and brain until they finally succumb to the terrors it imposes on me? I suspect it could be diagnosed as Loneliness and lack of stimulation, isolation, love, touch, joy and hope. Without real empathy and understanding from anyone, and I say that respectfully since no one can walk in my shoes, I don't have an avenue to reach out. At the moment, I have no idea how to resolve this......I believe I know what could but I don't have the means. On a moment to moment basis, I am having to suppress my emotions, desires and what little hope I have left but that is not a way to live. I don't know how much longer I can hang on to a sliver of optimism and hope that there is a light at the end of this forevever long tunnel. I am coming to the end.............how long will it take for me to find a release????????????? I wish I could end it here and now but I JUST CAN'T. I wrote this before my move and was in utter despair. Thankfully my external environment has improved (not the financial restraints that stifle me from doing what I wish) but that doesn't change the internal one. Now that it Xmas Season the loneliness is such much more pronounced. Detest the month of December for many reasons.~ Tutte ~

Meaning Without God: Why I Don't Believe - The Great Chain Part 1
Even if the Atheist assumes for the sake of argument that God exists, the simple reality is that God's existence is completely and utterly meaningless.
God is irrelevant to us. Not because God is irrelevant, but because we are.
I said earlier that the question of what caused or created the Great Singularity that started our Universe is irrelevant. I don’t mean that to be dismissive or coy, it is quite simply that such a question, even if answered most definitely in the affirmative is ultimately meaningless.
Assume for a moment, that the Great Singularity was in fact an act of conscious authorship. Assume that it was a deliberate act of creation, and that at some point some 13.7 billion years ago, some profoundly advanced civilization or being created this Great Singularity and rigged it to explode. If that is the case, that being or civilization would be, for all intents and purposes, God. The Atheist should certainly recognize that such a being or civilization, as the Creator of our Universe, would be worthy of the title of God.
Even assuming that some incredibly advanced being, that God, created our Universe, so what? Such a being, assuming it exists, is certainly worthy of praise. Indeed, we would owe our entire existence to it, but understand that the being that could create the Great Singularity operates on a scale of existence that dwarfs any and all human understanding.
The observable Universe, by which I mean the region of space where light has had time to reach us and that we can actually see contains between 200 to 400 billion galaxies. Indeed, we can only see a small portion of the Universe. The Universe is so vast that it is quite literally impossible to tell whether the Universe is flat or whether it is such a large sphere that it only appears flat, or whether it is in fact infinite. Of those innumerable billions of galaxies, an average galaxy contains anywhere from a few hundred million to tens of trillions of stars. Our own galaxy is a moderately sized spiral galaxy containing between 200 billion and 400 billion stars. While the science is still relatively new, we now have the technology to detect planets orbiting distant stars and it is now clear that the vast majority of those stars have planets. Many of them contain entire solar systems roughly analogous to our own. Quite simply, the sheer number of stars and planets in the Universe can only be grasped using math. Even quaint analogies like grains of sand on the beach fail to capture the true scale of the Universe.
Assume that God created the Great Singularity, that some epochal being with literally unimaginable technology at its disposal created all of this. Is it in any way credible to believe that such a being would be interested in us in any way shape or form? Such a being would traffic in the birth and destruction of entire Universes. If such a being were really slumming, it might deign to lower itself to consider the birth and death of superclusters of galaxies containing hundreds of quadrillions of stars. The idea that such a being would be interested in one single galaxy out of hundreds of billions of others is the height of egocenticity and narcissism. Moreover, the idea that such a being would be interested not only in one particular galaxy, but one particular star out of the hundreds of billions within that galaxy is patently ridiculous. That such a being would lend even the slightest thought to a single planet, within a single galaxy, within a host of galaxies borders on megalomania. The idea that such a being, that the Creator of the Great All, who traffics in the birth and death of entire UNIVERSES, would take an interest in our species, let alone make distinctions and mete out ‘justice’ amongst our species based on meaningless liturgical or genetic differences is perhaps the most arrogant, self-centered and narcissistic concept possible. The idea that the Sovereign over the entire Universe who has reigned for tens of billions of years is actively interested in and intervening in the lives of homo sapiens who have existed for a few million years on a tiny isolated world in the infinitude of the Great All is so silly that it borders on madness.
The God that is presented in human religions is at best a planetary God or God of our solar system. At that point, humans might as well worship those gray skinned, black eyed aliens that populate science fiction as they are infinitely more likely to have actually taken an interest in or seeded this planet than the Creator of the Great All. The God presented in human religions is quite simply too small, too parochial and too quaint to encompass the magnificent grandeur of the cosmos. The God that reigns in Earthly Religions who makes distinctions based on creed or color, who rewards and punishes based on archaic criteria scribbled down on papyrus thousands of years ago is quite simply too small to be the Creator of the Great All.
The Creator of the Great All, the author of the Great Singularity, is simply not a being that would have any interest in us or our planet or our galaxy whatsoever.
Ask yourself honestly whether you care deeply about the bacteria growing in the dark amongst the mold spores behind the cabinet in a garage 3000 miles away. Those bacteria exist. How often does their existence impinge on your conscious mind? How often do you consider their well being? If those bacteria praised you with all of their might, would you even be aware of it? The answer is clearly no. We simply dwell on a different plane of existence than bacteria. Bacteria cannot possibly understand the mechanics of our lives, cannot possibly recognize the scale and scope of our individual actions, let alone our civilization. With a simple swipe of a cloth we can destroy an entire bacterial civilization and we give it no more thought than scratching our skin, which also destroys tens of millions of living things.
Understand that compared to the being who could create the Great Singularity, we are far less than that. The difference between the plane of existence on which such a being dwells and our plane of existence is infinitely larger than the difference between our plane of existence and that of a bacteria half a world away.
Even if we are to make the assumption that some great sentient being created our Universe, so what? The thought that such a being is in any way interested in interacting with, or even concerned with our quiet little corner of the Universe is maddeningly self-centered and egocentric.
An honest Atheist will admit that we cannot know whether the Big Bang was an act of conscious Authorship or simply a natural occurrence. We quite simply cannot know. The Atheist cannot honestly hold any strong opinion whatsoever about what caused the Big Bang. The simple truth is that no one , no scientist, no theologian, no mystic, no human being can possibly know anything about what caused such an occurrence. Any and all evidence of what caused such a massive cataclysmic moment of creation was utterly annihilated by the act itself. While we can understand and describe the evolution of what came after, we cannot possibly know what came before that single point at which our Universe was born.
Is it within the realm of possibility that such an event was caused by an intentional act of some incredibly vast and technologically proficient super-deity? Certainly. While such an explanation is indeed possible, mere possibility is in no way equivalent to plausibility or probability. Personally, I happen to believe that there is no God whatsoever and that the Great Singularity and Big Bang were the result of natural processes, however, I am readily willing to concede the possibility that the Big Bang itself was an act of some impossibly advanced being or civilization.
Even conceding that point makes no difference, however, because ultimately the question of whether 'God' caused the Universe to spring into existence or not is completely irrelevant to our existence. Such a being is irrelevant to our existence. Not because such a being is irrelevant, but because WE are. Because we are so small and insignificant in a cosmic sense as to be utterly beneath it's notice.

Hi Jeffrey. Responding to the following: "Assume that God created the Great Singularity, that some epochal being with literally unimaginable technology at its disposal created all of this. Is it in any way credible to believe that such a being would be interested in us in any way shape or form? Such a being would traffic in the birth and destruction of entire Universes. If such a being were really slumming, it might deign to lower itself to consider the birth and death of superclusters of galaxies containing hundreds of quadrillions of stars. The idea that such a being would be interested in one single galaxy out of hundreds of billions of others is the height of egocenticity and narcissism."
Couldn't we more logically conclude that the height of egocentricity and narcissism is displayed by those who take great pains to paint the picture of a God that is infinitely beyond us, only to afterward stand over that God and explain what He would or would not do? Can you actually logically conclude that such a great being could not possibly, according to the character of His own transcendant personality, take personal interest in the "lowest forms" of His creation? Speaking of which, can you logically conclude, based simply on the magnitude of the universe that man is of the lowest form? For instance, the Bible describes man as created in the image of God (Gen. 1.26-28). If true, no star or cluster of stars in the universe can make that claim, no matter how impressive. The Psalmist muses on this puzzling arrangement when he says, "When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained; what is man that You take thought of him, and the son of man that You care for him? Yet You have made him a little lower than God, and You crown him with glory and majesty!"
This is an alternative perspective, that, due to its ancient setting, obviously does not take into consideration the vast amount of data that you display here in regard to the heavenlies; yet, it appears to be a perspective that is logically possible. In fact, when one takes into account the historicity of biblical revelation, one may logically conclude that the Psalmist's logical conclusions are more logically concluded than that of the atheist.
Of course, despite all of the claims to proper perspective, the real test must always be at the presuppositional level. In sum, I think there are some untested presuppositions in your argument that leave all that follows in question. What I quoted above is an example of that. I'm no one significant to be offering challenges, but if I were to offer any challenges, my challenge to you would be to back up and test your presuppositions for logical consistency. I like to ask the question of every presupposition, "Are you absolutely sure?" You may want to try this. Good luck. :o)
I was having a similar problem with the presuppositions. Your proof of gods non-existence/non-involvement seems to stem from the perspective of the humans inability to grasp things beyond a certain scale or removal from frame of reference. Just because we can only fake a conception of infinite doesn't mean that a creator (if there is one) would be lost in the infinite universe to blind to all/any of its creations. The arguments about god being either small and ineffectual or infinite and uncaring have been around at least as long as philosophers.
Also... just because science says so doesn't mean its actually true. The earth was flat for a while there. I generally believe what I read in science articles, after I can see someone else has reproduced the results and have gotten a good look at the original article. I find that many people who claim to be atheists are just channeling their need to believe into the god SCIENCE. Agnostic seems to be a less pretentious term it admits I am too small to actually know the answer.
Jeffrey A. Myers September 14, 2010 at 5:58 PM
@MW - You accept and repeat the presupposition that an ancient tract accurately portrays the personality and mind of God. Are you absolutely sure that man is created in the image of God? Where does this certainty derive from? To argue that simply because an ancient text says that we are created in God's image does not make it so. Are you absolutely sure that the clusters of stars inhabiting the infinite Universe do not possess other planets brimming with life? Do not possess beings far greater than ourselves? To argue that the infinite vastness of the Great All is empty and void has been disproven every single time we gaze deeper into the Cosmos.
Further, it is worth noting that there are literally hundreds of such tracts all of which purport to protray the mind of God and most of which dramatically conflict with one another. To presume that we can ascribe human traits to such an entity is the height of egocentric anthropomorphism.
With regard to your question regarding putting a cap on the infinitude of God, I readily concede that it is POSSIBLE that such a being would have the capacity to associate with the entirety of its creation. The question I seek to raise is WHY would such a being bother. Why would it care. Despite your assertion that we are created in It's image, there is no evidence whatsoever of such a presupposition. And if such a being was interested in us, why would it create such a ludicrous hodgepodge of conflicting testaments to It's will. To be sure, I CAN take an interest in a bacteria, but my mind tends to find such things parochial and uninteresting. I certainly have no desire to attempt to explain my will to such creatures, nor do I have any expectation that they would grasp it if I did.
The reality is that we are incredibly, indescribably small. We are inconsequential in any sort of cosmic sense. Of that there is no doubt. Every single glance we take into the cosmos confirms that our entire star system is merely one of countless sextillions of others. That we are small. Of this I am absolutely sure.
@Anon - We can literally look at the evolution of the Universe. We can filter the light through spectrometers and analyze its constituent compounds. We can trace the evolution of galaxies and stars by looking deeper into space. We can analyze the speed of galactic recession by measuring the Redshift of its light. The flatness of the Earth was based not on scientific analysis, but empirical observation. Once we possessed the tools to test these assumptions, beginning with Aristotle in 330 BC, educated people quickly rejected this understanding.
I define Atheism a tad differently than your presupposition. The belief or lack of belief is merely a consequence of the way in which Atheists seek understanding. I don't believe there is any way to PROVE God exists or doesn't exist. Any more than you can PROVE that the Universe is not a solipsism. Or PROVE that Earth wasn't seeded by aliens. Looking at the size and scope of the Universe, however, it just seems the height of hubris to assume that such a being is even remotely interested in us. Are you absolutely sure? Where is your evidnce?
mw September 15, 2010 at 11:01 PM
@Jeffrey. I'm sorry for not finishing your comment before replying. I will get to the rest of it. But I have to stop, rather early on, to address the misrepresentation of my point. My intention was to show that there is an alternate perspective, besides the one you present here, that leans on something more tangible than naked speculation. You may question the reliability of the Scriptural text upon which the Psalmist's view is at least partially founded (historically, David also had his own experience of Yahweh as a reference point - again, disputable), but that, in itself, is a presupposition that can be examined. Likewise, your own speculations about the nature of the Being you present must be examined for their logical consistency. In turn, the view that is found to have greater foundational support (unshakeable, that is) ought to be the one upon which we build. In regard to this, I personally, am convinced that the Bible is indeed the Word of God. I am also convinced that no other worldview, such as your own, can present a perspective on existence that is as internally coherent as that of the Bible, as all other views breakdown at the foundational level. I am perfectly willing to put that statement to the test.
Again, I'll get to the rest of your comment soon. Thanks for your patience.
Jeffrey A. Myers September 16, 2010 at 11:10 AM
First, thank you for reading. I respect anyone who is willing to make the effort to understand another point of view. I welcome the discussion!
With regard to internal coherence, Biblical text presents a wealth of internal discord. Instances of both literal inconstencies and contextual inconsistencies are too voluminous to list here, but I would recommend http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/donald_morgan/inconsistencies.html which maintains a small sampling of both varieties coupled with citations to the text.
Even if I were to grant you that the Bible is internally coherent, however, internal coherence is NOT synonymous with truth. Many works of literature are internally coherent. Indeed, nearly ALL fiction is internally coherent. The Lord of the Rings is internally coherent. Harry Potter is internally coherent. Despite being internally coherent, neither the Lord of the Rings, nor Harry Potter are TRUE in any sense. The mere fact that a work is internally coherent is a sign of good literature, not an indicator of external truth.
Just out of curiosity, in what way is a reference to the Bible (or the Koran, or the Torah, or the Talmud, or the Book of Mormon) 'more tangible' than naked speculation? The Bible is not necessarily true. It is not prima facie true. It is not a priori true.
Indeed, the ancient peoples whose oral traditions later became Biblical text were themselves guessing at the nature of the Universe, using their best efforts to attempt to understand the heavens and our place in teh cosmos. Lacking any means of actually seeing the heavens, their work involved FAR more naked speculation than mine. They simply had to GUESS at how the world was created. We can actually describe it and test our theories. And we can describe it without resorting to magic.
I freely admit that I have no insight into the mind of such a being, but in truth, nothing in the Universe suggests to me that conscious authorship is in any way necessary to account for the grace and beauty and elegance of our Universe. Indeed, I find our existence cheapened by the idea.

THE ADVENTURES OF UN PEU LOUFOQUE: Un Peu Loufoque the artist
This morning I launched myself upon the world as an artist! The children are returned to their educational establishments, after what seems like an inordinately long vacances, Chief Patissier set off to the Biscuiterie and Henri has taken Madame Grognonne into town to attend to the households purchases of comestibles, including I note yet more absinthe for the horse.
Having dispatched all in their various directions I took the makings of coffee with me to the upper realms of the west wing and set my self to work. Madame Grognonne had lit the small stove to warm the room and I very daringly put the pot onto the heat to brew, feeling quite excited by this wanton act of domesticity! I need hardly say that I have never had cause to make my own beverage before but am sure it can not be too difficult. Madame Grognonne having left me written instructions, and providing I am able to interpret her somewhat idiomatic spelling and erratic hand writing , I am certain all will be well!
Finding myself faced with a large virgin canvas on my easel I thought it best not to unleash my creativity too hastily and therefore stood for sometime contemplating its white face in search of a suitable subject. After our camping expedition I had been inspired to paint Fatima in all her glorious finery, sadly she informed me her religion disallows the portrayal of the human form which is most unfortunate. Madame Grognonne has declined to take her place, at least not until the weather improves ,which, in hindsight, is probably quite wise as I can see that it might be a trifle awkward should she be called upon to answer the door mid pose. It would, I suspect, be excruciatingly difficult to get her to return to precisely the same position on her coming back and taking deliveries clad only in a diaphanous veil might well arouse consternation amongst some of the more impressionable tradesmen.
Over a late dinner last night, our whole day having been thrown out of routine by their unexpected return Chez Nous, Chief patissier and Antoine regaled me with tales of the artists salons in Paris, and exhibitions at the Grand Palais. They tell me the quarter of Montparnasse is full to bursting with Bohemians and avant-garde writers and artists of every description from all over Europe and the Americas. I must admit my initial reaction was to find this a trifle galling as, despite my request, I had been denied the chance to visit Paris with them. I am quite convinced that neither of them have any artistic leanings whatsoever and therefore have no doubt the experience has been totally wasted upon them. However on hearing of the influx of Bohemians I felt quite relieved at having been left at home. I really do not think I am up to any more Slavs after the treacherous behaviour of ,Alexi Vlodaflodavodavitch. Although I note Madame Grognonne seems to have recovered herself remarkably quickly, as only the lower orders can.
Amongst the many delights adorning my studio Chief Patissier has kindly endowed it with a small library of books and journals depicting the wok of artists such as myself. I have been therefore perusing these in search of my muse but find myself rather at a loss as a result. I have always been of the school of thought that great art should in some form mimic nature and wherever possible improve upon it. However I discover that “au contraire” in this age of modernism it is no longer so. Apparently, judging by the illustrations in the more recent Art Reviews and journals, one no longer needs to be able to paint to be an artist. Not only that but it would appear to be all the rage for women artists to dress as men and men to dress as artisans and peasants, At this I must draw the line. I am of the opinion that no matter how talented an artist may be there is no reason they should not be respectably dressed! Personally I blame the Bohemians.
I can see from my window that Madame Grognonne has returned from her errands ,and ( since lost as I was in the contemplation of my art I had forgotten the coffee was brewing and therefore as a result boiled the pot dry) I now intend to seek her out in the kitchen and call upon her expertise to furnish me with a grand chocolat chaud to drink whilst I consider further which direction my art should take me. Having seen some of the subjects portrayed in the abstract style presently in vogue it is highly possible I shall find inspiration there, no doubt a still life of a sink plunger some haricot vert and the remains of yesterdays Cassoulet would be considered suitably dispirit to be al la mode!.
The portrait above is by an artist called Amedeo Modigliani and it is apparently meant to be Mademoiselle Jeanne Huterne ,with her Left Arm Behind her Head. I am not sure who this young lady is but I am certain that were I to portray Eldest in such a manner she would not be at all amused. Flattering it is not ! Added to which the poor creature has obviously dislocated her neck and very possibly her shoulder. I suspect as a result of the artist requiring her to hold the same position for far to long.One can only imagine how disappointed her mother must have been when she saw it.
Posted by Un Peu Loufoque at 06:19
We await with bated breath, rooted to the spot even, the excitement mounting as the world anticipates Un Peu's first artistic offering for our palates. (No pressure then)
22 May 2007 at 07:44
Dleighted to see that nothing normal has been happenining whilst I've been away!
Can't wait to see what further offerings your creativity will unleash ...
I agree completely about that portrait, and i can't wait to see yours..x
You do make me laugh! Will we get to see the Portrait once finished?
Shame on you ! Unable to make a cup of coffeee without letting it boil dry!!
22 May 2007 at 14:42
La Portrait please Un Peau, Merci.
22 May 2007 at 17:29
Yes, a portrait - but of what? I think Un Peu you should practise on something easy at first (you could always try the head of John the Baptist as I'm sure someone must have said to Caravaggio). No, I am thinking of something from the animal kingdom, something easy to paint and with a unmistakeable shape and recognisable colour - yes, that's right - no, not Marron - George Stubbs has corned the horse market - but how about ..... a camel? No-one paints camels so it would be an opportunity and you could open (in due course) une grande exposition des peintures des chameaux de Bretagne.
I am enjoying this so much, I come back after a few days and what riches await!
22 May 2007 at 18:43
Un Peu, do hope you have a publisher for this. You could solve the holiday reading dilema in one easy volume. Just find it all so hysterically funny.
I suspect Mlle Jeanne was in the middle of her Pilates class. Either that or she had a flea!
22 May 2007 at 19:38
Or a penguin - I like penguins.
Perhaps a way to enter into the painting would be to contemplate a color that interests you. I understand that many artists have certain times, or periods as they call them, attributed to a single hue.
This single selection could be difficult for one such as you, who clearly has so much color in her life, but it could just be an entryway.
The white of the canvas can seem, but need not be, fearsome. You have faced greater challenges.
23 May 2007 at 02:20
I quite agree, Un Peu, that you should look for an area that is 'you' and create for yourself a reputation for that particular thing. I agree with Frances, that perhaps a colour might be the thing, but wonder if you might not find something close to home in which to specialize.
I wait impatiently for the finished canvas!

PopCap says 'Happy Halloween' with pumpkins, zombies and ... a rave? - AOL Games
PopCap says 'Happy Halloween' with pumpkins, zombies and ... a rave?
Oct 24th 2011 3:55PM
At this point, Halloween just comes too easy for Seattle-based PopCap Games. The maker of hits like Bejeweled Blitz, Zuma Blitz and, in this case, Plants vs Zombies has provided us with one crazy video. A resident zombie temp worker at PopCap is on a quest to ring in Halloween the right way, perhaps to impress his living co-workers and score a full-time position.
So, he's not the best pumpkin carver, and shows his lack of skill quite well in a PopCap cafeteria. It's then that the clumsy cadaver comes up with an idea, which is rare for a zombie, no? The result is probably the most fly dance party PopCap has ever seen, complete with a very ... festive zombie. Of course, we don't want to give too much away now. (Well, no more than that image already does.)
This video comes just weeks after the studio showed us Crazy Dave's (also from Plants vs Zombies) rap game. At this point, we'll admit that we're pretty envious at how well the PopCap folks can get down. Now, could those folks get down and release Lucky Gem Casino already? And maybe after that some Plants vs Zombies on Facebook--alright, we're getting greedy.
Are your big plans for Halloween this year as awesome as a zombie dance party? Which of PopCap's games do you hope hits Facebook next? Sound off in the comments. Add Comment.

Red State Rabble: Behe Testifys for ID Bill in Pennsylvania House
Behe Testifys for ID Bill in Pennsylvania House
Intelligent design proponent Michael Behe testified Monday in favor of a bill before the Pennsylvania House Subcommittee on Basic Education to allow local school boards to mandate that science lessons include intelligent design.
Behe was asked by Rep. P. Michael Sturla, a Lancaster Democrat, when intelligent design occured.
"Questions like, 'When did the designing take place? ... all are good questions," Behe responded. "We'd love to have answers for them, but they are separate questions from the question, 'Was this designed in the first place?'"
Representing the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, legislative director Larry Frankel, said adding intelligent design to the curriculum would undermine Pennsylvania's the state's science standards.

We are always on the look out for new products, interesting ideas and things that will plain and simple, make life as a parent easier! Which is why, when we were contacted about stocking Babys First Calender, we were initially intrigued as to what made it different. Looks good, but what else?
babys first calender,
Today, a subject close to our hearts here at LTBS HQ - Toddler Tantrums. We have two toddlers between us, so understanding and being able to deal with toddler tantrums is something we are VERY interested in. Every parent dreads the day their seemingly placid, smiling baby, will throw the mother-and-father-of-all tantrum. It usually happens in a busy supermarket or packed out restaurant. Here are some useful tips in dealing with the dreaded, but inevitable, toddler tantrums.

The control apparatus and the active matrix are lifted from a silicon substrate and transferred to a glass substrate as a single piece. The control apparatus comprises a video interface, a column driver, and dual row drivers. The video interface operates the active matrix as a multiple-frequency scanning display device. The column driver comprises dual shift register arrays, one array coupled to the even columns and the other array coupled to the odd columns. The even and odd columns operate at opposite polarities. The respective polarities are reversed on every frame by a polarity switch the polarity switch coupled to a video signal amplifier. The control apparatus further comprises sensors for generating a gray-scale feedback signal to adjust the amplifier gain. The sensors comprise a temperature sensor within the active matrix and a light sensor measuring light transmission through the liquid crystal material.

The Essence of Normality...: Phony outrage
Bob Herbert has an important piece in this morning's NYTimes, in which he calls the Republicans out on their campaign against Acorn and their continuing effort to stir up anxiety, if not pure hatred amongst their base... obviously it's working when you look at the drivel that's coming from many of their supporters.
It's the same simplist line they've been using for years...they called it up after 9/11 too... they hate us because of our freedom... in this case there's a red in the closet, those who oppose them are the unamerican socialist who will raise taxes and take your freedom...
This from a party that brought to us the collapse of the United States of America. Trillion dollar war, Trillion dollar bailouts, Torture, Secret Prisons, Haliburton, high paid vigilantes fighting wars in our name, the Walter Reed travesty, Brownie and the Katrina response, the Orwellian Department of Homeland Security, 9/11, saddling our children with unprecedented debt, Gilded Age gaps in the wealth of the wealthiest to the poorest, the collapse of our banking industry, asking nothing more of us than to shop, 200 major rollbacks of Americans environmental laws, a crumbling infrastructure, a war on science and reason, the No Child Left Behind Act that left every child behind their counter parts throughout the world. This list could go on for ever, because everything they have done has been wrong. At this time in history when we have seen unprecedented competition from the the dynamic global economy, they failed us and left this country in complete shambles.
And the Republican Party's response is to grasp at power by continuing to split this country based on outright lies and fear mongering. And frankly it will work. The emaciated schools have been grooming an obedient class for years, what passes for culture on our television has 'tranquilized us with the trivial' and like children's play toe we are easily molded into the rapid hatemongers they need us to be for election days... then we will quietly sulk away... more reality shows to watch, more Cheetos to buy at Walmart, until we're called on again in four years...

Developmental, cognitive, and behavioral sequelae of child abuse — Albert Einstein College of Medicine
Developmental, cognitive, and behavioral sequelae of child abuse
Linda Theill Cahill, R. K. Kaminer, P. G. Johnson
There is growing interest in the neurologic, behavioral, and cognitive effects of child abuse and neglect. This article explores the literature on the short and long term sequelae of physically and sexually abused and neglected children, along with controversies generated by the studies themselves. Recommendations are made for swift and ongoing intervention in cases of child abuse to protect young victims from potentially devastating effects.
