An ill-considered kiss has devastating consequences for a tight-knit group of Manhattan-based friends in this blackly comic film, which uses rotamation (à la WAKING LIFE) to give key scenes and images an air of slightly sinister surreality. Dag (Ron Eldar), a successful director of TV commercials, loves videographer Halley (Kyra Sedgwick), who's as smart and funny as she is beautiful; they share Dag's chic downtown loft. Dag's best friend, frustrated actor Peter (screenwriter Patrick Breen), has had his widest exposure wearing a silly eagle costume and shilling for peanut butter, a commercial gig he owes to Dag. Peter's girlfriend, unstable waif Rebecca (Marley Shelton), dances with the company her flamboyant mother (Zoe Caldwell) runs with an ego-destroying vigor that belies her age. A European fling between Dag and Rebecca he's shooting a EuroDisney ad and she's on tour sets off a disastrous chain reaction at home. "This is going to be one of those terrible mistakes," says Dag, just before he commits to making it. When Halley and Peter find out about the one-night stand, their respective relationships hit the fan: Halley leaves Dag and takes up with Rebecca's friend Andre (Taye Diggs), a smooth-talking cellist who neglects to mention his sexy stewardess wife, Colleen (Sarity Chohoury). Dag falls in lust with a fiercely seductive waitress, Paula (Marisa Tomei), who has eyes for Peter that eagle costume really turns her on and a secret life that includes chains. Rebecca tries to befriend Halley, Peter hooks up with Colleen, Paula shares some dark thoughts with Rebecca and what begins as a series of ironic romantic misadventures veers into surprisingly dark territory while remaining queasily funny. The directing debut of actor Fisher Stevens, this small-scale film isn't for all tastes. But veterans of the dating wars will smirk uneasily at the film's nightmare versions of everyday sex-in-the-city misadventures. Stevens makes good use of Manhattan locations and elicits excellent performances from his capable cast, who give their characters enough depth to make the film's do-over conceit seem less like a cheap gimmick than a guilty pleasure. The rotomated scenes, with their vivid, undulating colors, lend a spooky yet beguiling air to the most mundane images, as though the characters were imaging themselves into experimental animator Suzan Pitt's world of candy-colored nightmares. They're a surprisingly effective touch, used with sufficient discretion that they don't wear out their welcome.

Unmasking Harun Yahya
Dear reader, our blog has moved to a new address.
Do come on over (and change your bookmarks accordingly): rationalist.org.uk
Now you and I know that this guy, who claims to have refuted Darwin and got Dawkins banned in Turkey, is a crank but he seems to be becoming ever more prominent as justification for those who want to deny science. We have been investigating him for the past few months, to find out who he really is and how he manages to fund his pseudoscience. It's a great story involving sex cults, God-complexes and Versace suits. All is revealed in the new issue: Read Sex, flies and videotape.

Well written piece, you have done a wonderful job, great piece of investigative journalism. Harun's days are numbered, more and more people are slowly waking up and realizing that this shmuck is nothing but a phony.

This caricature reflects no truth but prooves that Harun Yahya has won a great victory against darwinists, evolutionists. Because evolutionists can no longer answer Harun Yahya with science and scientific data.The "Atlas of Creation" had a great impact in all over the world. The giant work that has inspired reactions from all over the world has had, in the words of the foreign press, "the effect of an ideological earthquake" in all the countries it has reached. The Atlas has reached almost all the proffessors, important people, leaders etc. in the world. There are hundreds of fossil photographs in the Atlas. The fossils prove the fact of creation. These fossils are just a few examples of the hundreds of millions of specimens that prove the fact of creation. Just one living fossil is enough fort he collapse of evolutionary theory. The evolutionists are not capable of bringing a intermediate form fossil. Every fossil evolutionists claimed as a "missing link" turned out to be a hoax or else was removed from the literature because it had been distortedly interpreted.They can not explain how a single protein molecule emerge by chance because it can not. The chances of a protein molecule forming by chance are 1 in 10950. In practical terms that figure means "zero probability. There is no scientific mechanism that causes living things evolve. Evolutionists claim that mutations and natural selection does so but this is scientificaly impossible. Since mutations occur at random, they are almost always harmful. The changes brought about by mutations can only resemble those caused in human beings in Hiroshima, Nagasaki or Chernobyl: death, handicap and disease... Natural selection proposes that those individuals able to adapt to their surroundings survive, while those that are unable, die out. This unconscious form of elimination cannot bestow ever more complex organs or systems on living things.Evolutionists can never explain how the information sufficient to fill 1 million encyclopedia pages that is contained in DNA can be coded in the correct sequence by chance? Because can not. In the same way that it is impossible for someone wearing a blindfold to randomly print out a million pages of meaningful information, so it is impossible for unconscious and haphazard factors to arrange DNA.
Harun Yahya has a big intellectuel struggle not only against darwinism but also the ideologies that are based on darwinism, such as communism, fascism, racism. Harun Yahya also says and prooves that darwinism is tha cause of the world wars, slaughters, oppressions. More than 250 million people died in the world wars. The darwinist dictators were on duty and still are. I advice you to read the books of Harun Yahya and watch the interviews of him. And a note, if you visit the site of Harun Yahya, you can see the real photopraphs of him.

As a lapsed Christian and a humanist, I am more than aware of the arguments used by creationists (both Christian and Muslim). It embarrasses me that, once upon a time, through my own ignorance of Darwin's theory, I believed the sort of nonsense on display here. The quotes from the Bible or Koran that creationists constantly refer to as "proof" that the Koran predicted Big Bang theory, or "proof" that evolution is nonsense can only be interpreted as "proof" of anything with the benefit of thousands of years of hindsight and centuries of scientific effort. Were it not for the proofs provided by scientists there would be no knowledge at all for these scientific-illiterates to (retroactively) ascribed to scripture. If we had all just sat around nodding and reading aloud from the Koran, would somebody spontaneously have shouted "hey, maybe the doppler shift can show us that all the galaxies in the universe are moving away from each other, thereby proving that the universe expanded from a single point!" I find that highly unlikely.

Oh, and if you think that Hitler was an athiest, think again. He very much believed in God and the German people's divine destiny. Magical thinking like that leads to concentration camps and suicide bombers.

Craig AS...Hitler was not a religious person.He only used religion to get control over Christians. He had to show himself righteous in their eyes. He was a darwinist and very much impressed with the theory of evolution as the theory gave him the so-called scientific means and justifications to carry out his massacres. He said: Hitler said for example, "The state must ensure that only healthy children exist. The visibly sick and those carrying infectious diseases must be declared to be unfit."Hitler sought to accelerate the supposed evolution of the German race with his killings.lond, blue-eyed young men and women whom he regarded as representatives of the German race were encouraged to have children together. In 1935, special breeding farms were established for this purpose.

Harun Yahya is an international hero as Time magazine told. First read his books, than write essay about him. He forward lots of people to believe Allah. Yes of course there is no difference between islam and science.
- 11 September 2009 at 13:11
- Craig AS said...
Strange how those people posting comments supportive of Harun Yahya do so anonymously...
Opinion is clearly divided over whether Hitler was an atheist, but in my defense, the argument:
Person X was an atheist,
Person X did bad things,
Therefore atheism is bad/wrong/dangerous
Is as cretinous as the idea that the Koran discusses DNA, or that there is "no difference" between Islam and Science. One is deference to the authority of ancient texts, the other is a way of testing our ideas about the universe and discovering the truth.
And the argument that I "don't know what I'm talking about" is not exactly a great line of defense either...

Ignorance is prevalent and the media loves to post ignorance and make the $$$ no matter the good science that defies it. Same o' same o' for hundreds of years.Politicians are dupes for these schemes as they get new voters for their own scams but threaten their own countries with violence and the overthrow of freedoms and even lives. Terrorism arrives under many disguises and like with Yahya, insanely so. Megalomaniacs are usually charismatic and people from all sorts of the economic spectrum find solace in them at first before tey discover they have lost their own minds..albeit too late.

Craig AS...People has the right to write comments anonymously since it is an option provided in the blog. Plus how could I know that Craig is your real name? You use a nick. Which is the same thing with anonymity..People here dont say that Islam and science has "no difference" Islam is a religion and Science is a collection of methods that we use to try to understand and comprehend Allah's creation. We try to understand the workings of the galaxies for instance, this is called science. What is being said is Islam actually supports science, as Allah commands Muslims to "think" to get closer to Him. You get it all wrong my friend as you are clearly misguided with the publications you follow. Try to read Mr Oktar's books and articles and even watch the videos. You dont loose anyting by doing so.

"The evolutionists are not capable of bringing a intermediate form fossil. Every fossil evolutionists claimed as a "missing link" turned out to be a hoax"
Am i being too simplistic in pointing out that every fossil is an intermediate fossil. Every organism is constantly evolving.
We have the remnants of our past history within us today. Our ancestors were herbivous so we had a third set of molars. We call them wisdom teeth. They now serve no purpose and often lead to pain and infection. I we were designed, that's a pretty rubbish bit of creativity!!

Surely we're missing the big issue here, which is why is this article illustrated with a picture of The Master ?
- 15 September 2009 at 07:55
- Craig AS said...
Garkbit: Nice catch ;-)
In terms of The Creator being an incompetent designer, how about the fact that the urethra (which carries waste products out of the body) passes through the prostate (which is highly prone to infection). Or how about the fact that you cannot reabsorb the water in your urine (which is 95% water) once it is in the bladder. Even if you're dying of thirst! You have to expel it from the bladder and drink it again (yuck). Why is this the case? Because humans evolved from animals that used urine to mark their territory.

Another twisted, malignant narcissist using a highly emotional subject...in this case, religion...to take horrible advantage of the weak-willed & soft-minded. Ah, humanity.
He reminds me of an extremist, frightwing Republican politician here in America.
Speaking of which, the article alludes to "American senators"--I'd like to know who these senators are. I would not be surprised if they were members of that sick bunch known as the K-Street fraternity.

Craig, you must surely know that engaging idiots in any kind of a debate automatically occupies a depressing level by the mere fact of it's (the "debates") existence.
There is no debate, not really--there is only the informed, reasoning individual butting heads with the superstitious, semi-illiterate ignoramus.
Again...ah, humanity. Sometimes I wonder if it's really such a "grand experiment", afterall. I suppose it's a grand experiment in the same sense that cancer is a grand experiment.

What is most interesting about this story is that the left (including most readers and writers here) has adopted Islam as the Most Precious Other since 9/11. Attack the West?

I don't know if anybody looked closely at that map of the "turkish islamic union", but if that represents what we're hoping for from a "credible alternative to radical Islam" -- and if such a credible alternative is so difficult to find in "modern, secular" Turkey that we should need to turn to this man -- then we really are in a zero-sum war of civilizations already. A look at the map shows that "non-radical Islam" lays claim to:
- All of (Christian) Ethiopia
- All of the (Christian) Philippines
- 3/4ths of India
- Strangely enough, the Buddhist kingdom of Bhutan
- The city of Berlin
- Odessa and the Crimea
- All of Buddhist Mongolia...
(Interestingly, they seem to know enough not to screw with the Armenians =)
Well, best-case scenario that this is, I guess the West better get on with carrying out Islam's demands. This chance might not come again. The ordinary Muslim on the street is probably nowhere near as willing to bargain with the west as this Oktar fellow, and you know, the next deranged Islamist cult leader will likely be far less lenient with us.

Just one nit to pick: The article says Yahya has been interviewed by "American National Public Radio." But his own web site doesn't make this claim, and a thorough scan of our transcripts (I work for NPR) reveals no trace of him.
He does claim to have appeared on "American Public Television," but there is no broadcast entity by that name, and if you follow his link, it leads to what is clearly some local "cable access" show (i.e., the kind of thing shot in someone's basement that nobody watches.)
So maybe you've also been taken in by some of his grandiose claims.

I was waiting to read some "facts" that would undeniably make me re-think this mans claims. Instead I got a great degree of disturbing character flaws and things that as a Muslim I can NEVER agree with (disputing the primacy of Prophet Muhammad in Islam is a big indicator someone has fallen WAY WAY off).
I'm not sure if pointing out these things are included to illustrate the point of painting this man to be a monster, or if it was done to make Muslims particularly shy away from this man and his information. Anyone who would purposefully make such claims as the author of the piece illustrates would be (and rightfully so) marginalized in the Muslim community, and I don't see that being the case. How could he fool THAT many people? The Muslim Ummah consists of thousands upon thousands of scientists, phiolosphers, teachers, etc. and to be honest I would have come across something about this man by now.
I thank the author if they are being sincere with presenting this man as being a charlatan..however if this is just an attempt to discredit his information by discrediting him, in the end it will fail, and actually bring MORE people to his cause. I will continue to look into myself, and draw my own conclusions. THANKS.

Your article shows the level of intelligence and poor reporting put into this piece. There was not one single sentence about his ACTUAL WORK, or his authorship, just a vague reference to Dawkins and his comment about the lure. However even Dawkins could not comment on the content of the Atlas of Creation, except to point that a model Caddis Fly was used instead of a real life Caddis Fly. This in no refutes the content and argument of the Book. Why don't you read the Book, or any book for that matter, and make a critique of his work, rather than to get information that is false and incorrect. Harun Yahya, has been found innocent against every charge put forth against him. Every single thing he is involved in is documented extremely on his website, including the legal cases you mention. Very poor reporting from a so called "free-thinker". I think you aren't a free thinker, rather a poor journalist at best.

Quite frightening reading some of the comments here supporting Harun Yahya and his crackpot "theories".
I would direct any of the Kool Aiders here who actually agree with this lunatic, to read up on the Argument for Common decent, and have a little look at DNA encoding (which pretty much negates the "need" for transitional fossil evidence) , etc.. before dismissing Darwin's ToE (which is THE best possible explanation, of all the explanations (religious included) Human's have concocted in over 100,000 years of humanities existence) completely for some half-baked religious "explanation" which explains absolutely nothing.
I suppose the real question to ask Yahya (seeing as what he has to say about reality is so far from it, its scary) is why pray to a Jewish god...?
Aren't the Muslim's supposed to be against the Jews and all that they stand for, whilst ignoring the fact that his scriptures which he holds so dear, are in fact based on Yahweh....?

The the poster who thinks Harun Yahya readers are crackpot. The only thing your post shows is your internal bias and sickness. Isn't it supposed to be about freedom of expression? You can follow whatever you want to or believe in whatever you want to. First investigate the essence of matter and learn real science though before you make hypothetical conjectures about transitional fossils and the like. Peace

Poorly researched and written article. I just checked on the Harun Yahya website, read his bio, and he has everything posted w regards to all his legal cases, with original documentations from the court. It seems to me that this article is nothing but to slander this man's character. Try harder next time. Sad that this showed up on the Humanist page, I was an avid reader, and this isn't what "free thinkers" do.

Yeah right. Harun Yahya can continue to get his organization to put out books full of islamic idiocy, faked fossils and zero knowledge of evolution. It won't help Yahya's idiotic creationism. Evolution has too much evidence for it and Yahya only has ignorance and fake science.
We've won. Yahya has been defeated.

This is scary stuff for Muslims to read...but the cults have happened before in the history of Islam. Very saddening to hear.
One thing about Evolution: Ziauddin Sardar, has commented that actually Muslims had the idea and notion of evolution before Darwin. You have to look it up but I remember he wrote about this.
It was not seen as being in contradiction with Islam- because it was understood more as a 'mechanism' or 'how' Allah brought about the creation.

To me, the writer and huminist et al are so afraid of Harun Yahya. Allegation presented in the articles are very old. Most of them proven false. The author wrote this article in evolutinist way just to deceive people. He did not mention about the ongoing trial, which not related to sex, character. This case is related ot the ideological battle between the powerful evolutnist system and harun Yahya.
One of the old aged ploys to paint the person to deviate from the point of discussion. Evolutnists themselves feel proud about their rationalism. In the is article, this is totally missing. Shame on huminists.

Note that Edip Yuksel, frequently quoted in the article, is himself a cultist. He was a member of Rashad Khalifa's sect, United Submitters International, broke with them, and is now setting himself up as a proponent of "Islamic reform". I ran into him trying to combat his relentless self-promotion in his Wikipedia article (I left WP and his article is now a puff piece praising Edip). He is just as nuts as Harun Yahya.
Rashad Khalifa, BTW, declared himself a messenger of God. He was murdered, possibly by assassins from yet another Islamic sect. (The Rashad Khalifa Wikipedia article also seems to have been captured by sect members. They play down his conviction for sexual assault, for instance.)
I should add that every religion seems to have an undergrowth of bizarre sects. Nothing peculiar to Islam.

a.. 'As the American journalist Nathan Schneider argued, to judge Yahya's message on its scientific content alone misses the point: "its power, for those who are not scientifically literate, lies in its vision of redemption."
So i think you and Mr. Nathan is sooooo much ''LITERATE IN SCIENCE'', so can you please tell him to debunk Harun yahya's Atlas point by points!!!
b. ""During this period he was confined to a prison clinic, and then Bakirkoy Mental Hospital, where he was diagnosed with an obsessive-compulsive personality disorder and schizophrenia""
Hey Halil you have to learn to lie well!!!!
1. How can A schizophrenic and OCD patient
write these many books? (EVEN IF YOU CLAIM THAT THESE BOOKS WHERE WRIITEN BY OTHERS--THen how is it possible for a MENTALLY ILL patient to make others to right fo him? EVEN IN NORMAL CONDITION ITS VERY DIFFICULT--Can you and your friends wite atleast 25 books to your master RICHARD DAWKINS and one BOOK FOR ME!!!@#$)

""How did such a man acquire the standing, and the financial resources, to be a player in global debates about the origins of life and the future of relations between Islam and the West?""
How did Richard DAwkins acquire the atanding and the finalacial resource?...Answer is simple..by selling CAPS, T SHIRT with RD logos and from DONAToINS RECEIVED.
So Harunyahya gets May be getting MOney by Donation , From his books.. What is so great about your questions.
Again in your nauseating article you lied...
"" "Henceforth, he reduced the five daily prayers to three, ""
See HArun yahya's Book..http://www.harunyahya.com/books/faith/al_sunnah/al_sunnah07.php

If all this criticism of the abuse of science and promotion of outright pseudoscience in the name of "Islam" (or a sect of it) is simply a "plot" against Allah and will "be neutralized by Allah" who is "the best of plotters" as that link suggests, then you don't have anything to fear from open discussion of these (stupid) ideas, do you?
Now stop posting your zealous sh*t here. Wierdo.

Anyone who uses a mobile phone today, or watch tv, has no option but to acknowledge that science has brought us these modern technologies, based on many many years of logical reasoning, rational thinking, methodical investigation, experiments and peer reviewed documentation that anyone is free to challange (without receiving the death penalty or having their hands chopped off). Based on the very same body of scientific knowledge, science also says that your fantasy superstitious bronze age rubbish about this or that god is very very unlikely to have any truth to it. So, next time your mobile phone rings, just ignore it, cause it can't be true that it exists - after all, your phone is a result of scientific nonsense, right? ;) Ignorant superstitious fools.

I just came across a book "Extraterrestrial Intelligence: Amazing New Insights from Qur'an..." It quotes extensively from Qur'an to prove in an extremely amazing and convincing idiom that biological evolution isn't at all at variance with the Qur'an. It is available online at HarperCollins' website Authonomy: http://www.authonomy.com/ViewBook.aspx?bookid=11309

"Your article shows the level of intelligence and poor reporting put into this piece."
The level of intelligence in works purported to be by Adnan Oktar is woefully low.
"There was not one single sentence about his ACTUAL WORK, or his authorship"
Oktar's so called work is either plagiarised from science textbooks, or ghost written by his lackeys. Oktar couldn't write a book on evolution if he tried. He knows nothing of biology, and lots about interior design!
"...just a vague reference to Dawkins and his comment about the lure. However even Dawkins could not comment on the content of the Atlas of Creation, except to point that a model Caddis Fly was used instead of a real life Caddis Fly. This in no refutes the content and argument of the Book."
Another lie. Dawkins certainly comments on the book. He shows that Oktar's lackeys can't distinguish between one species and another. Not surprizing for folks that have never studied biology in any of its forms.
"Why don't you read the Book, or any book for that matter, and make a critique of his work, rather than to get information that is false and incorrect."
The falsity and incorrectness all stem from Oktar's lackeys and their lack of scientific training. The book is clear evidence of this.
"Harun Yahya, has been found innocent against every charge put forth against him."
Which is why he is currently in prison.
"Every single thing he is involved in is documented extremely on his website, including the legal cases you mention."
'Documented extremely'. Got that right. Documented in an extremely biased way to portray your lazy wannabe mahdi as a perfect gentleman who has been framed by the Illuminati. But the reality is that Oktar is a petty criminal that has to blackmail women into bed with him.
"Very poor reporting from a so called "free-thinker". I think you aren't a free thinker, rather a poor journalist at best."
The poor reporting all comes from Oktar and his cronies. Who hate free thinking folk so much they formed a cult to inflict their crappy fantasy onto the world.
Jamshed, at least have the courtesy to put your name to your posts instead of going anonymously to cover up the fact that Oktar has only one obsessive fan.

New Humanist seems to be in trouble probably due to the extraordinary, real and scientific evidence submitted by Mr. Adnan Oktar to Darwinism. Indeed, due to this trouble the magazine made a very interesting comment and claimed that Mr. Oktar's claims are met with lampoon in the West. Yet the editorial board in question very well knows that Mr. Oktar provides precise and concrete evidence against Darwinism which is a theory that thoroughly lacks any evidence. Indeed for this very reason he is the one Creationist author whose views are most respected all around the world. Readers worldwide enjoy his books which are also downloaded in ample amounts on the Internet.
European Darwinist publications, France being the foremost, consider Mr. Oktar's works as a great threat against the theory of evolution and comment on the impact of Atlas of Creation upon Europe with expressions of despair. (For detailed information please see: http://darwinistpanicinfrance.com/index.php) This is no doubt the reason why Atlas of Creation was banned from the curriculum by the European Council. Aware of the profound effect of Atlas of Creation upon pupils, Darwinist centers strove to hinder the access of this precious work into schools. Consequently the situation is far more different from how it is depicted by New Humanist. The major reason of the Darwinist panic taking place in the world today is the works of Mr. Oktar which have great worldwide impact. New Humanist is totally aware of it.

More conspiracy theories...
Silentside, the reason the Atlas of Creation was banned from the curriculum by the European Council is that it is, scientifically, a load of shit, and therefore should not be taught as science to our children. Sorry to burst your bubble, but there is no "science" in Oktar's jumble of second-hand factoids and misrepresentations of fact.

When something is published, the apt way of responding to it is 'intellectually'. When Harun Yahya demolished Darwinism and Materialism, he did it in a scholarly manner. He writes books, articles and prepares documentary films and websites to present his views. So, if anybody wants to respond to Harun Yahya, that is to be done intellectually.
But, to date, we never find a scholarly work refuting Yahya's works. All we have are some rantings, slanders and accusations. This is NOT democratic. Anyone who looks at these scenarios can clearly see this. And that is the reason Yahya's books and movies are spreading all over the world. The number of websites he own is increasing by the day and they're disseminating all his materials. Those who espouse the theory of evolution are at a complete dead end now, because Yahya tears them down intellectually from their very foundations.
This article and many other slanders are a manifestation of Yahya's success in his mission.
NB: For those people who are curious about all the slanders that come up against Harun Yahya, see these websites for clarifications. All those allegations are clarified with documentation.

You complain that Oktar's treatment is not "democratic" (by the way, democracy is a political ideology, nothing to do with science. In science, even if you are a minority of one, the truth is still the truth. Oktar's problem is that his is a minority "scientific" opinion, but its still patently wrong) and yet you complain about his treatment on Wikipedia, which is by far and away the greatest advancement in the democratisation of knowledge the world has ever seen. Only fascists like those who run Conservapedia, and those who truly have no scientific legs to stand on, have a problem with WP.
I'm totally bored with this thread now. I've been responding to supporters of Oktar's ignorant creationist drivel (most of which is stolen from books written by Jehovah's Witnesses anyway), by saying the same things over and over again, for months now and therefore I have to announce that I'll no longer by watching this thread. So don't expect any more responses from me.

I read some of Harun Yahya's books and was fascinated by his writings.

Its always been the attempt of Islamic opponents to condemn disqualify disprove and render stupid and baseless arguments when they are are out reason logic example and philosophy... its not something new to the Muslim world... its the common history of yahud and nasaras... as quran says that they can never be true friends of Muslims....
whenever non Muslim communities observe the development of Islam by leaps and bounds, they become scared and plan cunningly to betray the believers and to creat ambiguity for the new followers...because doubt is the tool of satan to push a beliver from the cliff of faith to the depths of a Hell....

Harun Yahya plays upon those who lack a proper education in science. It is a great shame that he has plenty of foolish Islamic followers. In the past Islam was a religion that valued science and discovery, especially in Moorish Spain; nowadays it has been hijacked by authoritarian idiots that embrace the stupidest supernaturalism and ignorance of their religion. Muslim followers of Adnan Oktar, you follow a criminal. Wise up and read some real science.

Press Release:
The Societies (incl SWPP) are celebrating record recruitment numbers following the organisation's most successful Focus event in a decade.
Juliet Jones, The Societies' MD said: "It's been a full-on, flat-out, bumper show for us with hundreds of new and aspirational photographers signing up for membership of one or more of our eight photo-societies. We had typically buoyant interest in the SWPP but also in our complement of additional societies covering the burgeoning wildlife, fashion and event photography sectors."
She added: "We had top class speakers and demonstrators on hand and the stand was a constant hive of activity across the four day event. At one point we had hardly enough staff to cope with demand."
The success of the Focus event comes hot on the heels of The Societies' own Convention held in London in January and visited by over 12,500 photographers and imaging industry specialists. With its 7,000 – strong membership The Societies reaches out to all serious photographers from complete novices to some of the biggest professional names in the world.
CEO Phil Jones said: "2010 is set to be a very important year of expansion for us. The Societies is the fastest growing worldwide association for professional photographers and now, in addition to our flagship SWPP (Society of wedding and portrait photographers) we are proactively promoting seven additional societies."
"These comprise: SIMPP (Society of international media and press); SISLP (Society of international sport and leisure) SINWP (Society of international nature and wildlife); SIFGP (Society of international fashion and glamour) SISEP (Society of international school of event photography) SITTP (Society of international travel and tourism) and SICIP (Society of international commercial and industrial photographers)."

As part of our campaign to defend our oceans, Greenpeace paid a visit to Canadian tuna giant Clover Leaf Seafoods' headquarters to return the company's unsustainable canned tuna products with a silver platter containing simulated remains of the types of marine life wasted to fill the brand's cans.
Two Greenpeace Canada activists dressed in shark costumes held banners designed as giant tuna can labels reading 'Clover Leaf doit changer de thon' (Clover Leaf must change its tuna, in French) and 'Clover Leaf kills more than just tuna', the same message that was written in fake blood on the office doors. Hundreds of canned tuna products were unloaded on the office floor under the company's display case. These products had been cleared from a supermarket shelf the day before and replaced with a sign notifying customers that the products had been returned to Clover Leaf and wouldn't be available until the company changes its policy. An invoice for the true cost to the oceans was handed over with the letter to Clover Leaf's Vice President of Marketing who received our delivery on behalf of their CEO.
While the action was going on at headquarters, Greenpeace volunteers were putting caution signs over Clover Leaf products in the canned tuna section of busy supermarkets in Toronto. For the last couple of weeks, Greenpeace volunteers in Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto have been out speaking with the public and Canadian consumers about the problems with Clover Leaf tuna and promoting a parody of a commercial produced by the company a few years ago. The spoof features one of the sharks that helped make the delivery today, and it takes a humorous approach to warning customers about the other marine life that is collateral damage in the wasteful fisheries supplying Canada's largest tuna brand. Check out the spoof video below and the original can be seen here.
Changing Clover Leaf's policies became a priority for Greenpeace Canada following a ranking of Canada's canned tuna brands in February 2011, in which Clover Leaf placed 11 out of 14. Despite the company's sustainability policy and participation in sustainability forums, Clover Leaf's CEO has yet to commit to changing what the company puts in its cans and source more responsibly-caught tuna.
Greenpeace's global campaign in major tuna markets is urging companies to stop selling tuna caught by wasteful fishing methods. Much of the tuna found on supermarket shelves comes from large-scale fishing vessels using purse seine nets set around fish aggregation devices (FADs), which are used to attract tuna. These FADs also attract other ocean life including threatened sharks, juvenile tuna and even turtles, which get caught in the nets and are often thrown back into the sea injured, dead or dying. Clover Leaf also sources from longline fishing operations that set thousands of baited hooks in our oceans, catching luring turtles, sharks, and even sea birds. The platter delivered today contained a shark fin with the Clover Leaf logo cut out of it, a turtle head and an albatross foot – three species impacted by these types of fishing methods.
Major tuna brands and supermarket chains around the world are switching to more sustainable sources of tuna and supporting oceans protection through the creation of marine reserves - wildlife sanctuaries at sea. Tuna brands and Canadian food retailers are beginning to follow suit, seeking out more responsibly-caught tuna and discontinuing yellowfin tuna – a species found on Greenpeace's Redlist.
Greenpeace is encouraging Clover leaf customers to join our 'return to sender' action today to help send a strong message to the company that more than just vegetarians care about the oceans and Canadians deserve better than shelves full of unsavory tuna. We're asking people to write a message on the back of any product label that you may have in your cupboards and send them into the company. Find the address and how to take further action here.

LogPolicy Class
Represents the policy associated with a LogStore.
Assembly: System.IO.Log (in System.IO.Log.dll)
A policy is a set of rules to be followed by a LogStore instance and its clients. A LogPolicy instance is used to examine and modify the policy associated with a specific LogStore. A policy can describe the minimum and maximum allowable log sizes, or how the LogStore instance is allowed to grow. In addition, you can also control whether a LogStore instance can be archived.
After changing any of the properties, you should use the Commit method to ensure that the changes are applied to the LogStore. You can call the Refresh method to discard changes or to get the most current policy.
This example shows how to use the LogPolicy class to set policy for a log record sequence.
// SET LOG POLICY LogPolicy policy = sequence.LogStore.Policy; // Set AutoGrow policy. This enables the log to automatically grow // when the existing extents are full. New extents are added until // we reach the MaximumExtentCount extents. // AutoGrow policy is supported only in Windows Vista and not available in R2. //policy.AutoGrow = true; // Set the Growth Rate in terms of extents. This policy specifies // "how much" the log should grow. policy.GrowthRate = new PolicyUnit(2, PolicyUnitType.Extents); // Set the AutoShrink policy. This enables the log to automatically // shrink if the available free space exceeds the shrink percentage. // AutoGrow/shrink policy is supported only in Windows Vista and not available in R2. //policy.AutoShrinkPercentage = new PolicyUnit(30, PolicyUnitType.Percentage); // Set the PinnedTailThreshold policy. // A tail pinned event is triggered when there is no // log space available and log space may be freed by advancing the base. // The user must handle the tail pinned event by advancing the base of the log. // If the user is not able to move the base of the log, the user should report with exception in // the tail pinned handler. // PinnedTailThreashold policy dictates the amount of space that the TailPinned event requests // for advancing the base of the log. The amount of space can be in percentage or in terms of bytes // which is rounded off to the nearest containers in CLFS. The default is 35 percent. policy.PinnedTailThreshold = new PolicyUnit(10, PolicyUnitType.Percentage); // Set the maximum extents the log can have. policy.MaximumExtentCount = 6; // Set the minimum extents the log can have. policy.MinimumExtentCount = 2; // Set the prefix for new containers that are added. // when AutoGrow is enabled. //policy.NewExtentPrefix = "MyLogPrefix"; // Set the suffix number for new containers that are added. // when AutoGrow is enabled. policy.NextExtentSuffix = 3; // Commit the log policy. policy.Commit(); // Refresh updates the IO.Log policy properties with current log policy // set in the log. policy.Refresh(); // LOG POLICY END //

Greenway MP Michelle Rowland has thrown down the gauntlet, challenging the government to improve commuter parking at Schofields Station.
It's not conducive to people's good quality of life in this areaMichelle Rowland
The shadow minister for communications said emerging infrastructure and rising population had increased the need for more parking at almost every station in her electorate.
"The situation with commuter car parking has been getting absolutely atrocious," Ms Rowland said.
"It is one of the single biggest issues from people in my area. I have seen how quick the station car parks fill up in the morning.
"It's a reality of life with us living in the north-west we need to commute and there needs to be proper facilities to enable public transport."
An inadequate number allocated parking spots has forced motorists to park along the side of the road with hundreds of cars backed up more than a kilometre down Railway Terrace and Pelican Road.
"It's not conducive to people's good quality of life in this area," Ms Rowland said.
"This is a massive issue which goes to the quality of life of many of my local residents, and when you have to park literally in the next suburb and walk for the length that you describe, it really is a disincentive to use public transport."
More than 200,000 new homes are expected to be built in western Sydney over the next decade.
Ms Rowland said she would be pushing the Liberal government to step up and accommodate the future growth in Sydney's north-west.
"When you calculate how many people that is going to need to cater for and how many people will need to commute, that is a completely inadequate amount that's being planned," Ms Rowland said.
"We have more than 10 new suburbs to be created and these people will either be in their cars or using public transport. I know which one I would prefer them to use."
A Transport NSW spokesperson said the organisation is working with Blacktown Council on plans for more commuter car parking at Schofields Station.
"The new parking, made possible by a $2.75 million investment from the NSW Government, will be built on a vacant road reservation area north of the station, on Railway Terrace," the spokesperson said.
"Since 2011, the NSW Government has delivered around 6000 new car parking spaces for customers with more on the way."

A Tacoma man was taken into police custody early Saturday morning after he shot up the door of a Pacific Avenue establishment with a .380 caliber handgun.
Police say the man had been angered by security guards at the business at 728 Pacific Avenue earlier in the evening. After closing time, at around 3 a.m., police say he turned and fired shots into the front door.
Officers had made contact with the suspect earlier in the evening and looked for him at his Tacoma residence. They took him into custody there and confiscated the weapon.

As far as I can tell, this is happening only in Firefox, not IE or Chrome. A picture's worth a thousand words, so here's the deal.
On this blog, comments at the beginning of each thread look fine .
About halfway through the thread, the background changes color. Even further down, the background behind the comments changes to black also, rendering the comments unreadable.
The same thing happened yesterday with my blog and commenst. Now, the blog entries seem ok. The comments themselves have come back, but they weren't visible at lunchtime. This is what the page should look like . Here you can see that black has been substituted farther down the page for the normal color. From time to time, the page behind the comments turns black, as with the example I showed above.
The footer has changed also and isn't readable.
I'm completely flummoxed. Everything else seems to be working fine. It's only that the backgrounds keep changing color, making the text unreadable. I'm running updated Firefox with no extensions or addons. Everything is up to date, I've cleared my cache, re-booted and so on.
Any help you could offer would be deeply, deeply appreciated. ;)
The blog I need help with is shoreacres.wordpress.com.

Sophia's War. By Avi. 6 cassettes or 6 CDs. 7:15 hrs. Recorded Books. 2012. cassette: ISBN 978-1-4703-2043-0, CD: ISBN 978-1-4703-2042-3. $66.75.
Gr 5-9–Set in 1776 during the American Revolution when New York was under siege by the British, Avi's tale (S & S/Beach Lane Books, 2012) of resistance features an amazing female protagonist, trials aplenty as she tries to avenge her brother's death, and a little romance thrown in for good measure. Sophia's family believes in freedom and desperately wants America to govern itself. Her brother goes off to fight, is captured, and ends up dying in a filthy hold of a British prison boat. John Andre, a charming English officer who is billeted with Sophia's family, fails to intervene to save her brother. Despite having a schoolgirl crush on Andre, Sophia is conflicted by his failure to save her brother. After witnessing the execution of Nathan Hale, Sophia is determined to help the American cause. Recruited as a spy, she becomes a maid in the home of the commander of the British forces in America. Sophia uncovers some crucial information and sets out to reach West Point before Benedict Arnold can turn it over to the British. Avi's outstanding text and Angela Goethals's spot-on narration make the Revolutionary War come alive for listeners, providing a real sense of the time period. A perfect choice for school and public libraries.–Joan Kindig, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA

appetizer, beurre noisette, brown butter, brown butter tomatoes, healthy, side dish, snack, tomato
This is the kind of dish that completely depends on high quality ingredients: fresh, gorgeous tomatoes and excellent butter.
I first encountered Cœur de Bœuf tomatoes, a cousin of the American beefsteak tomato, at Ô Chateau in a lovely salad preparation. Its uneven ridges create very small pockets of seeds inside the fruit, so the flesh is not nearly as watery as other tomato varieties. Substantial and fleshy, this variety is perfect for slicing thick and eating raw.
I can't get over how pretty these slices are, arranged on a big plate — like big tomato flowers.
What better way to do homage to a perfect tomato than to dress it in just good salt, roughly ground pepper, and nutty beurre noisette? You'll want to dress it up more — maybe add some vinegar or dots of goat cheese or eat it on slices of baguette — don't. Just eat the slices, bare but for the butter, and marvel. Then sop up the leftover juices with bread.
Brown Butter Tomatoes
From Food52.
Makes 1 serving.
1 large tomato, preferably Cœur de Bœuf or other beefsteak variety
flaky sea salt
coarsely ground black pepper
2 tablespoons of excellent quality butter (I used beurre doux from Pascal Beillevaire)
Slice the tomato into 1/3-inch slices. Arrange the slices on a plate, slightly overlapped. Liberally sprinkle with salt and pepper.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. As the butter starts to bubble, swirl the pan a little to redistribute the milk fats. Continue simmering until the butter starts to smell nutty and the milk fats turn golden brown. (Be careful: butter goes from brown to burnt very quickly. Watch it assiduously after it begins bubbling.)
Generously spoon the brown butter over the tomato slices, allowing it to pool in crevices and leak out onto the plate. Eat while the butter is still hot.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has again declared he doesn't want Andros Townsend to leave.
Townsend was omitted from the squad for the game against Queens Park Rangers on Sunday and has been the subject of two bids from Southampton. But both have been rejected even with the south coast club offering as much as £12 million for the England international.
"He is in my plans. He's in the squad [for Limassol]," Pochettino said.
"It is impossible to have only 11 players in the squad - you need 24 or 25. We have to play a lot of games and it is possible you play today, then don't play in the next Premier League game - but the most important thing is understanding that we need to choose for the games."
