(Book Review)
I probably shouldn't make what is going to be a long review even longer by adding a long introduction, but as this is a bit different from the kind of book I usual read, I feel it would be appropriate to write about how this landed into my hands in the first place.
Richard Dawkins is of course a household name (famous enough to even get mocked on "South Park") and I've been vaguely aware of him and his work since my Calvin days, in the way we're all vaguely aware of several authors and thinkers we never actually bother to read.
I started to become interested in him during the days of TV Links (may it rest in peace) as I mentioned earlier. TV Links had some links up to his lectures, along with lectures of creationist programs, and, although science was never my strong point, the back and forth on philosophical issues was pretty interesting and it seemed like just the perfect thing to have on in the background while doing some mindless task like washing the dishes or cleaning the apartment.
Although I wasn't always comfortable with what Dawkins had to say, I found him a fascinating figure to listen to and began to seek out his lectures on the net. He was thought provoking, quick on his feet during a debate, articulate, and seemed extremely bright.
--Although perhaps we Americans are a little too captivated by a British accent. If something is said in a crisp clean British accent it sounds incredibly intelligent to us no matter how bizarre the actual content is. I call this the "Christopher Hitchens Syndrome". (Speaking of which, I was recently talking to two highly educated, well read, political aware Brits, who had no idea who Christopher Hitchens was when I brought him up. Could it be he's a complete unknown in his native land?)
Anyway, in most of the videos he was speaking in, Dawkins kept referencing his book. "This is explained in more detail in my book." "I cover that in my book", etc. You know how these book tour videos go.
So, whilst in Fukuoka for the Japanese Proficiency Test last week, I was browsing through an English bookstore looking for an interesting book that I could enjoy over a cup of coffee in the neighboring Starbucks, and this one caught my eye.
I don't write a lot about my personal faith on this blog because my religious beliefs aren't as strong or as set in stone as my political ones. If you asked me if I believe in God my answer is likely to vary depending which day you catch me on. In my more optimistic moods: yes, in my more pessimistic ones: no.
I was worried that this book would take away even the slight hope I have, and I was hesitant to buy it. But in the end, the curiosity to see what was inside won out. (I also thought it might be a nice counter weight to my weekly discussions with the Jehovah's Witnesses).
It is a very interesting read, and if I were to consider this book simply on how enjoyable it was to have in a coffee shop with me, it would rate very high.
It did not make a complete atheist out of me though, which was Dawkin's intention in writing it.
I'd love to go into detail and write my opinion about every part of this book, but a complete review that examined every argument Dawkins's makes would end up being just as long as the book itself. So in the interest of brevity I'll just say that as I read the book at various parts my reaction was either:
A). Hey, that's a really good point.
B). That's an interesting point, but I already know what the religious response is going to be.
C). That's not really a strong argument.
or occasionally D). Thinking about this is giving me a head ache. I'll come back to this part.
The strongest parts of this book are, as you would expect, the scientific parts. And fear not, this is science for the layman. Fascinating reading even for people like me who decided long ago that science was not my friend.
The philosophical parts are also interesting, but slightly disappointing in that Dawkins at times doesn't seem to fully understand the theological ideas he is arguing against, or fails to anticipate the theologians' response. In this respect it is obvious that Dawkins doesn't come from the hard Christian education background most of us (me and my regular readers) did.
I must not be the only one who noticed this, because Dawkins addresses this criticism in the preface to the paperback addition, but he brings it up only to dismiss it. He quotes a long section of "The Courtier's Reply" and says, "to expand the point, most of us happily disavow fairies, astrology and the Flying Spaghetti Monster, without first emersing ourselves in Pastafarian theology, etc." All this holds good as long as Dawkins is in the realm of science. When he enters into philosophy/theology, a bit more of a religous background would not hurt him at all.
Admittedly part of the problem is that religion in all its incarnations and competing belief systems is too much of a moving target to nail down effectively. Dawkins can't resist taking aim at the biggest juiciest part: the people who not only believe that God exists, but believe that they know exactly what he wants and force their own narrow view of God onto everyone else, and even invent a horrific eternal hell for disbelievers. Most of the book is focused against those people.
However in the strongest part of the book Dawkin argues against the existence of God full out, expanding his range to include deists and agnostics as well.
The core of his argument against God is the same one Betrand Russell used in his essay "Why I am not a Christian" (which I, and I'm sure many of you, had to read in my introduction to philosophy class at Calvin). Dawkins admits there are many things about the beginning of the universe which we don't understand and may never understand. He, like Russell before him, however argues that the problem is not solved by simply referring back to God, because now we have to explain where God came from. And since God is a complex intelligent being, we have just increased the complexity of the problem not simplified it.
...And this is where my headache begins to come in, because I already know what the religious response is. That God is outside the laws of time and space and cause and reaction, and always has existed and always will and doesn't need to have his origin explained. Dawkins of course would counter that this is just declaring something by fiat and doesn't even make sense at any rate. And he's right but...
But then how did everything get here? Where did the big bang come from? And even if science could answer these questions, wouldn't that leave us with just a new mystery to solve ad infinitum? At some point wouldn't we have to revert to some sort of God figure? But then where did God come from? Is it legitimate to claim that God doesn't need a cause? And my headache continues.
And although I enjoyed having Dawkins force me to think about these issues, I still maintain my agnosticism at the end of all of it.
(I'm not doing justice to his argument by the way. You should read the book for full effect).
The last 3rd of the book deals with the social problems caused by religion. Not surprisingly Dawkins again levels his aim primarily at the extremists, but he also claims that the moderates are responsible for fostering a climate in which the extremists are allowed to breed.
Although I'm oversimplifying Dakwkins, the argument that the moderates enable the extremists is an argument that can be used against any belief system or political philosophy. When I was hanging around in conservative circles back at Calvin I was all but accused of complicity in Stalin's death camps because of my beliefs in democratic socialism. Around the same time I myself tried to convince my church pastor that preaching about the sinfullness of homosexuality enabled hate crimes. (Hmmm, although upon reflection I have to say I'm actually not sorry I said that. I do believe a lot of the hate crimes against homosexuals would disappear if the Church reversed it's stance. Still it is dangerous logic.)
Dawkins would like for society to stop regarding blind faith without evidence as a virtue, and subject people's religious beliefs to the same kind of scrutiny and debate that everything else in society is subject to.
While half of me thinks this is a good idea, the other half of me worries about identity politics. This is probably an example of something that works when we criticize the majority, but could offset a lot of problems when applied to minority religions as well. For an example of what I mean watch this video on youtube in which Dawkins expresses his opinions on Mormonism. Truth be told it's somewhat similar to my own beliefs, and yours as well (although you would never say it so bluntly, let's face it this is more or less what you believe or otherwise you'd be sending in for your free book of Mormon and asking how to apply for membership). The reason you and I don't go around saying this all the time though is because we remember the religious persecution the Mormons faced, and no-one wants to go back to that period. So out of respect for the identity politics of religion, we hold our criticism mute.
...Or am I being unfair to Dawkins? Yet another issue I go back and forth on, as do most of us, about how to deal with various religions in a multicultural society. If the issue was clear cut, I guess we wouldn't have been having the culture wars for the past 50 years. At any rate, Dawkins offers some interesting thoughts.
As with his philosophic arguments, I'm truncating Dawkin's arguments here out of necessity. There's a lot more stuff in his book , most of which I agree with actually. I'm tempted to comment on it all, but I can't go on with this post forever.
In closing: I'm always reluctant to give out book recommendations because I think people need to read books for their own reasons and not someone elses. But several of you in my blogging circle regularly touch on religious issues with a lot more insight, subtlety and intelligence than I can usually muster (Christman, Guam, Whisky, Bork, Meg). Should you ever come across this book and find time to read it, I'd be very interested in hearing your thoughts.
Update: the amount of red ink spilled over this book, book reviews and critiques, is a bit overwhelming. For that reason I stayed away from reading a lot of book reviews on the net. For better or for worse, the ideas on this book review are entirely my own, and not formed with the benefit of informed reading. After writing this, however, I did come across a review of this book by none other than Alvin Plantinga. Worth reading here.

The incident occurred on East Seventh Street around 3:30 a.m. Monday.
The 22-year-old victim was walking into her apartment when the suspect pushed her inside and forcibly raped her, police said.
Police have released surveillance video of the suspect who is described as Hispanic, 5-foot-6, and about 170 pounds.
He was last seen wearing a white hat, blue sweatshirt and blue jeans, police said.

Looking out of my window on the twelfth floor on a Hanoi high-rise I can see a mix of old and new.
I can see out to Ba Dinh district, a collection of government buildings with embassies littered between them and a maze of closed off streets leading to arching monuments, testament to the old guard's promises of prosperity and their own permanence.
If I stand on my balcony I can see the Communist Board, right across the street from the newly completed Lotte Tower – Lotte, a Japanese food and shopping commercial giant. Dotted all about Hanoi are half completed tower projects, skyscrapers, commercial centers; my route to work has recently been made easier by the completion of a massive new road system winding through Hanoi like an artery giving life to the beating heart currently under development.
The old guard must have one eye over their shoulder. Vietnam's economy is growing at an astonishing rate of 8% per year making it the fasted developing economy in the region. Meanwhile, a quick trip outside the city shows a country still heavily reliant on agriculture; Hanoi's internal infrastructure is often put together quickly without a long term plan; and I can't access the BBC online due to government censorship.
Its difficult to see where Vietnam will be in ten years. Hanoi's southern counterpart, Saigon is already awash with commercialism and economic prosperity, but the capital itself seems to be a decade behind, holding all the signs of a communist stronghold – propaganda posters line the main highways, five minutes from my apartment is a twenty foot statue of Vladimir Lenin, the poster child of the Russian Revolution, and ultimately, Vietnam remains a one-party state.
Hanoi, and Vietnam in general, may struggle to take charge of the pace of development that it is now facing. With an emerging superpower to the North, tech giants Japan and South Korea to the east and a rapidly developing regional neighborhood to the the West, Vietnam is in both a prized location for advancement as well as a vulnerable strategic position on the geo-political map. Whether economic development will be mirrored in the social and political arena's remains to be seen.
However the course of events takes shape, Vietnam is a country that has been through hell and come out the other side on a Honda Wave. The sky really is the limit.

a big WOW and WOW again!
I had the chance of buying the pre release, and later follow the first release versions.
It already was an incredible value for money, but not perfect yet in several instruments, with some slightly incoherent programming etc.
The last update drove me back to the whole library (I was using before just some of the best programs, with some selected instruments), and the result is amazing.
Now every instrument has a very good and stable sound and powerful, easy to control, and flexible programming.
My sincere congratulations to Kirk for the huge work he did.
I already recommended the library for the price/quality rate. Now it's even better!

A lovely little weekend all things considered. Friday Mike managed to get off early and we beat all the traffic down to SMC. It was a quite evening, but good to see everyone. Saturday we were watching the clock for 7 to roll around and got ready for the main event; Hallowed Greens. I went as "Irish," which involved a green suit and a truly inspired shillelagh (which I had to win in a contest of drinking), along with a great fedora. The greatest part of the night costume-wise was a two story tall Trojan Horse! Mike and I ended up at Liz and Joanna's place and hung out for a while watching terrible TV and talking until around 5 in the morning. Sunday Liz and I went out to lunch at IHOP which was surreal in a good way (IHOP has always struck me as surreal though). I dropped Mike off up in Fredrick (listening to the Imogen Heap album which is fucking amazing, its my new driving at night CD, just as soon as I go out and buy my own copy) and made it home at around 8:30 and promptly went to bed (after watching the last 20 minutes or so of Sleepy Hollow, I forgot that Christopher Walken is the Hessian in that)
I've been thinking a lot about covers recently…I have come to the conclusion that they are great, only rarely, and made great by two factors, neither mutually exclusive. The first is if the cover is better than the original. This doesn't happen too often but when it does it is amazing (take A Light that Never Goes Out by Braid, originally the Smiths). The Second factor is if the Cover is hilarious, this is also not all that common but awesome (e.g. Take On Me by Cap'n Jazz, originally A-Ha). Most fall into a category other than greatness. These can be good too but usually for personal reasons. I love My Generation by Chapeau Melon and 99 Red Balloons by Goldfinger only because they came around at just the right moment and will always remind me of people and things from that summer, they are however not very good covers (the Goldfinger one is decent but not great). Anyway…
A few side notes:
+My Dad had a car intensive weekend; he went to this sport rally think for BMWs and got to drive my dream car (a BMW Z4 sport coupe) and a few others. In addition one of his friends is getting an '84 Dauphin Gray 5.30 M Sedan which I lust after as well (I drive an '84 Gray 5.28e, it little sister of this car)
+ My mom got a great job offer and is leaving WRIT. This is both good and bad. It will mean more money for her and the family in general but it will also mean no more job for me…eh, not too worried.
+ Studio 60 has not been canceled yet! NBC ordered three more scripts (a total count of 16) and it will resume next week. YAY! It hasn't been picked up officially but I think it will after this news.
+ This weekend will hopefully be Mike and I drinking scotch and watching a lot of Sorkin, I have to stay around this weekend as the parentals are going off to Williamsburg this weekend and the "Muppet" will need watching.
Listening to Chaos Ain't Me and Loft Party by Orchid (freaking amazing album over all too, power chords and pretension go together like bees and honey!)

Thread: Half elves & half dwarves
04-09-1998, 12:35 AM #1Brett LangGuest
Half elves & half dwarves
Half elves have been fairly well explained (although I'm still unsure on
what their lifespan is supposed to be). However, what about half dwarves ?
They are detailed in the Dwarves Deep supplement, and like always it only
talks of the demi-human / human cross-breed. What happens when an elf
mates with a halfling, or a dwarf with an elf. I have read where the
dwarf/elf thing has appeared before in a Myth Drannor supplement, but
nothing is explained about how the racial abilities of the 2 species
interact in the crossbreed. For instance, say a dwarf diplimat of
Barak-Azik had a child with a sidhelien elf of the Sielwode.
What type of child would result ?
Could the half dwarf / half elf (what would ya call it?) become a mage /
priest of Moradin for instance ?
So many problems :)
Suggestions, ideas ?
Sweet water & light laughter until next !

I am smack in the middle of almost a month of BGS submission posts and I was asked by a couple of people inquiring about the process of getting a card graded from beginning to end. Some of you might have no interest in this but I decided to write up a post about it and what I personally do when I have decided to submit a card for grading whether that card is already in my collection or one I see on eBay that I intend to acquire and have graded.
There are two different ways that I use the BGS system. One is the raw grade review (RGR) and the full submission version. The RGR can be used as a stepping stone to the full submission or used to verify what you think your card would grade out to be. Some people actually use this procedure to get a gem mint grade then sell it like that on eBay as they have no intention to keep it in their own collection and want to make a quick buck instead. I personally don't do that but I do use it occasionally for cards that I don't think will grade out gem mint and want to see what a 3rd party thinks the condition is. A much cheaper way too as you do not pay the full submission price. The only issue with RGR is that BGS does not do these as often in my neck of the woods and I am in a big city so I can imagine if someone lives far from a metro city it doesn't happen at all. The two places I use are South Bay Sportscards which does a RGR event at least twice a year with BGS and then there is a submission booth at Frank and Sons in the City of Industry which is there twice a week.
For the sake of this exercise I am going to use my 2013 Topps Five Star Sandy Koufax card as it is one I did research on and it has an autograph on it which is another step in the process,
This card went through the RGR service as I just wanted make sure it would grade out to gem mint first so if it didn't I would save me a some money on a full submission and then not be disappointed when it came back less than what I wanted.
I sold my signed ball of Koufax but had to have Sandy's autograph somewhere in my collection and my pursuit of that eventually led me to this card. On the computer screen the card appeared to be in terrific shape but considering the price for it (even though it was nothing out of pocket as the sale of the ball covered that) I had to make sure of the quality of it. First off was the autograph. BGS has a "policy" that if the autograph ends at the edge of card it almost always gets knocked down a grade from a 10 to a 9 on the autograph sub grade. Nothing is more frustrating than getting an overall gem mint card (9.5 or 10) and then have a 9 autograph attached to it. The other thing that BGS looks at on the autograph front is if the pen that was used to sign the card is streaky. If it is then chances are your autograph will probably be knocked down to a 9 as well. Again, it has happened to me.
Next thing you have to do is know your product. Some brands are known for centering issues (Topps/Bowman Chrome, Allen and Ginter) while some brands have edges and/or corner issues (Five Star). Knowing the history of Five Star (last year was an upgrade from previous years thankfully) I had to make sure that the corners were crisp with no issues. Edges and corners looked good on the computer screen but I contacted the seller about my concerns on the condition. Another side note is if you are buying on eBay a seller's history might come into affect as if they don't have a long and/or good history that might steer me away from buying even if it is a card I really want. It's all a gamble either way but a good history gives me a little more peace of mind. The seller responded promptly which is a plus and we went back and forth for a good hour as he described what he saw on the card. I had to trust he wasn't fibbing just to make a sale but at the end of the day it was my choice and I chose to acquire the card and had it in my hands in no time flat.
Now that I had it and could see the condition of the card first hand I could see for myself if there were any issues that might arise in the grading process. Since it was a Five Star card I looked at the corners first. I suggest you use a jeweler's loop for this, Mine is a 10x one and with the card in a plastic case I examined it. If just one corner is bent/rounded/frayed you can almost guarantee a 9 sub grade on that with a chance it might even earn an 8.5. The corners checked out as they were sharp and very pointy. Next up with the loop was the surface. Have to look for any machine marks or scratches or any other defect that might deface the card in anyway. That checked out as well. Next up were the edges which is always the easiest for me as long as there is no fraying I haven't had an issue. Last up is centering. When the card has a border it is easy to figure out what your card will earn. As long as it's no more than 55/45 on the front and 60/40 on the back you are good to go for a gem mint grade, Last but not least is the separate grade of the autograph. There were no streaking or at the edge issues on the card so I felt I was good to go on a gem mint grade. RGR was in town that weekend so I decided to go that route just in case it didn't go they way I expected and wanted it to.
Gem mint baby.
This is how a RGR card will come back to you. The process takes about 2 hours if there is no wait or you are in front of the line. Obviously if there is no autograph on the card then that extra grade on the right is not there. Here is where you get to decide what to do with the card. If it is a card that is not up to par grade wise in your eyes (not the case here) you can just take it out of the flimsy protector and just put it back in your collection or sell it as I personally have done. Let's say a card comes back an 8.5, trying to sell it at that grade you probably won't get top dollar anywhere, but if you sell it ungraded and "raw" (and honestly not lie about the condition) then you probably make a few more dollars on your transaction.
Obviously with the gem mint grade that I wanted on the card it was now time to get it fully graded and encased by BGS. A side note on the RGR service, they do not give you sub grades so you don't know how close or how far you are/were from a lower or higher grade until you get it fully graded by shipping it to their headquarters. I usually don't care about the sub grades as long as the card earns a gem mint grade but it is always interesting to see what they are.
Now the card is fully realized as a gem mint card. While a plain old mint 9 can actually drive resale value down a little, a gem mint can drive it a lot higher in most cases. Hotter the player the higher the value. Kershaw cards are going through the roof right now and thankfully I have a few gem mints of Kid K.
Now you get to see the actual sub grades and seeing them come out this way reaffirms to me that my process of pre grading the card myself usually (not always) gets the grade I expect. At the same time that is why RGR is a nice option if you are unsure and don't want to waste more money and time.
As you can see here everything checked out to my expectations and in the case of the corners even more so. That is one thing I haven't fully figured out yet as I can tell a pointy card from a non pointy one but the difference from a 10 and a 9.5 still eludes me but either way its gem mint.
The all important 10 on autograph
So with that you now have a fully slabbed and graded card. The process from start to finish from a personal point of view. Again, if you don't want to go the RGR way you can just submit your card(s) and cross your fingers that you did your work and everything will come out OK. I personally will be doing a full submission in the coming weeks AND a RGR when BGS comes back to town in early October.
In the end, the best advice is to do your homework. Look over your card(s) thoroughly and know your product if it has history with some tendencies i.e. thick cards have corner issues and chromes have border issues. Hope this helps out anyone that might have had a question and if not thank you for reading through all of this anyways and have a great week.

The full detailed list of changes could you find in the commit log at GitHub.
2013-08-30 ============ Less Painfully Snapshot ------------------------- With small improvements which make some things more user and provider friendly.

ManagerF can now hide the page icons by a splitter and the indicator editor is a little bit less pesky. PerformerF is now watching the used indicator and reload them if edited which is very nice while indicator development. The indicator picker remember his last selection. AgentF has now better help text, write nicer into the log file and has new devilish commands. That's, and because all is almost untested, is why the snapshot is 'damn' ;-) An update should work without special treatments.

Ivy Garland
It looks quite good but I can't imagine its going to hang on for much longer.
I grow ivy for its berries to provide food for the birds and for shelter for insects and birds.
I am now trying to encourage it to grow in the opposite direction away from his clippers, it will be sad though when this falls down, its about five years of growth and won't do the plants underneath much good when it collapses. I will however have loads of tangled ivy branches to play with.

I want to take a moment to tell you about Myakka Marketing Solutions so you can make an informed decision as to whether we can be helpful. The truth is that we want to work with companies and people who value what we offer.
Myakka Marketing Solutions vision is to help the small business owner create and implement an affordable marketing strategy that will increase revenue. You might ask, why do I need your help? The answer is simple. Marketing is vital to the lifeblood of your business. Without it you cannot put your business on the map and ensure that a consistent flow of customers know about you, know what makes your products/services rock, and know why they should continue to do business with you.
The good news is that most business owners are engaged in some form of marketing; however, the bad news is that they do not have the time and experience to evaluate what strategies are appropriate for the business and if the current methods are working.
In pursuit of helping the small business owner and not wasting anyone's time we do things a bit differently than many other companies that offer marketing services. Here are some of the differences.

We practice what we preach.
We are a small business just like you and have the same issues; staffing, marketing and money. We utilize the tools and strategies that we recommend to our clients.

I'm using moveByPositionOffset to fly a predetermined path but am getting a time out after it completes my list of positions.
I can fly the loop of positions, however if I loop through the positions again it doesn't go anywhere. I have a feeling I'm getting a timeout somewhere.
I had followed the example in the interactive Linux sample code, the function call drawSqrPosCtrlSample().
I get the same results by calling drawSqrPosCtrlSample twice.
Any ideas why I get a time out at the end of all the moveByPositionOffset calls?

Industry Canada has closed the public comment period on the country's long overdue anti-spam legislation, paving the way for the newest manifestation of the rules and continued resistance from the private sector.
Since legislation on unsolicited email and other electronic exchanges was adopted in 2010, regulations on what defines spam and how far organizations must go to stop it have been in a state of flux, with the government wrangling over provisions with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.
Following claims by the Chamber and others that the initial regulations, released in July 2011, put too much of a burden on businesses which rely heavily on email to market their products, advertise and find new customers, the government issued revised regulations Jan. 5 and asked for input.
"(W)e are increasingly concerned that the government has not achieved balance," Scott Smith, the chamber's director of intellectual property and innovation policy, wrote in the organization's official submissions to Industry Canada, which closed the public comment period Monday. "The objectives of promoting online economic activity and allowing responsible businesses to continue using this channel for electronic communication (have) not been met."
Although the legislation has been credited with tackling the proliferation of spam in Canada — one of the last developed countries to crack down on unsolicited commercial email — the chamber argues the rules are unclear, too onerous and do little to deter spam originating from outside Canada.
"It is the most comprehensive legislation in the world," Smith told iPolitics, adding that while his organization supports the need to stop spam and welcomes the government's willingness to change the rules, the chamber's ultimate aim is to see the legislation re-drafted. "As-is, it impedes business and the compliance is difficult."
The rules define spam as emails and electronic messages sent to social networking sites that are commercial in nature and include hyperlinks. They put the onus on businesses to get consent from potential customers before sending emails — but don't allow the businesses to send an email requesting consent. Each email sent out to a potential customer must also have an "unsubscribe" option and businesses must keep a running inventory of who is willing to receive their emails and who is not — a condition Smith said would be costly.
"Businesses already face many regulatory compliance burdens and in (their) current form (the rules) will result in economic hardship for both business and not-for-profit organizations," he said in his letter.
Aimed at clamping down on unwanted mail from bogus websites without prohibiting legitimate commercial and personal exchanges, the first draft of the rules made exceptions for email sent within a business, email sent from business to business, email exchanged between family members and email sent between friends.
After pressure from businesses which felt the rules were still too stringent, the government also added an exception for 'third party referrals' in the rules. The change would allow businesses to send commercial email to people with whom they want to do business through a referral from another company.
University of Ottawa law professor and leading Internet law expert Michael Geist described claims that the rules are overly prohibitive as "grossly overstated." He said that, according to existing law, businesses already should be keeping lists of those who do not want to receive their email. He said the "enormous number of exceptions" in the rules point to a pragmatic law that allows businesses to continue to advertise to their known client base while placing limits on intrusive mass-marketing.
"The notion that somehow this is going to bring business to a halt" is inaccurate, Geist said, adding that the chamber and others "seeking to water down and delay this legislation" were doing Canadians a disservice.
According to the Register of Known Spam Operations, a organization that tracks the most prolific spammers in the world, Canada is home to five out of 115 serious spammers — most of them with ties to Quebec. One of the most notorious is Michel Goyette, known as the "Canada Books" spammer for an array of publications he tries to sell through email. Another spammer registered as 'Xavier' from Quebec markets medications and debt-reduction scams and a spammer named 'Uncaged' fills inboxes with pornography links.
Lauren Hebert from Industry Canada said the department would closely analyze proposed revisions to the rules, and aim to release the final guidelines this summer.

I got a road bike!
No, not at Trader Joe's (although they have so much cool stuff there I wouldn't have been at all surprised to see a biking section) but at Eastern Mountain Sports next door.
I have been talking about getting a road bike for a while, since my hybrid mountain bike with road tires and no clips is heavy and wasteful on the bit of athletic output I've got. The born-again road bikers have been trying to convert me for a while and I had just started thinking about giving up my old way of pedaling and moving toward the light. ("You will feel like you're flying on a road bike!" "You will get so much more power with clips!" "Your position will be so much more conducive to speed!")
The problem for me is, while I wouldn't say I am exactly cheap, I would say that I don't feel good dolling out a ton of money on something unless it is a major life improvement. I struggled to buy a bike since I already have a bike. And, truth be told, I only really enjoy buying things when I don't have to pay full price or feel I am getting a deal of some sort. I had been looking around at my friends about my height and asking them if they wanted to sell their road bikes. I figured I could happily spend $500 on a used road bike and be able to live with it.
I was blissed out at Trader Joe's when Sandi moseyed over to Eastern Mountain Sports and found me a 54 cm road bike ON SALE and brand new for $540. Not super fancy but very usable with a carbon fiber fork and WAY lighter than my current bike. They told me to take it for a ride. I, not prepared for bike shopping, was wearing sandals and a skirt. I took a spin around the Trader Joe's parking lot, trying not to flash my underwear, nearly crashing into an elderly lady because everything was so unfamiliar and came back converted.
Eastern Mountain Sports was also having a 20% off sale on all bike accessories which meant that I also got the clip shoes, the clip pedals, a much safer helmet and the bike shorts that had been the intended target of my birthday cash. (I had been told not to buy bike shorts that cost less than $100 and I can attest that this is true. The padding in the $50 pair I got for my birthday last year always moved around as I rode and was distracting and uncomfortable. These high test ones are awesome.)
I also convinced the guy to give me 30% off instead of 20. AND he threw in a free water bottle cage. I was wheeling and dealing with the best of them.
A couple of thoughts on my first ride:
1. I DID feel like I was flying. Like pushing a self-propelled lawn mower instead of a regular one. The bike feels like it has its own forward momentum.
2. The clips ARE scary to get used to. Everyone says that you will be afraid of falling initially. I only fell once so I figure I'm going alright. After 2 rides I still don't have a good feel for how to clip in and I feel like a teenager learning to drive a stick shift. I sweat when I approach a light and take routes to avoid stopping altogether.
My speed has improved but not as dramatically as I thought. On my old bike I averaged 14-14.5 miles an hour. On my new bike I averaged 14.9. I also was on a 5 day clean food cleanse (to purge the summer's "special occasions") so that may have slowed me down. It will be interesting to see as the fear leaves me if I get faster. That bike is SO fast that going down hills I brake because I feel I might spin out of control. The bike and I are not yet ONE. The gears and brakes are very different than my other bike so for now my main goal is to come home in one piece.
When I told her I got a road bike finally, Emilie asked, "What brand?"
Ummmm..... no idea.
Jamis! It's a Jamis bike. That still means nothing to me. I know that it is a speedy devil and I pray it won't kill me.
My first ride Sandi and I rode together. I took her on a route I knew well but later realized she did not. There was a big hill that had a curve at the end followed by Route 1A. I waited for her at the intersection at the bottom. She came screeching around the corner at full speed and then had to swerve and brake fast to avoid going into traffic.
"You could have told me the road ended after that hill," she commented. (I honestly hadn't even given it a thought.) "Just because I have half a million in life insurance doesn't mean you have to try to get it."

Capturing the essence of the war in Iraq has been done through words and photography, so I thought I'd set about cornering the market on lighthearted cartoons. I can't draw to save my life, but that didn't stop me, and thankfully no such demand has yet presented itself. During my deployment with the Army in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom I sketched out 100 cartoons, and well, here they are.

This is a comic book paraphrase of the book of Galatians, so the Smashword computers do not count words which are drawn into speech bubbles. Nevertheless, it is fairly short (26 pages). Churchianity vs Christianity uses modern situations (e.g. a church building instead of a synagogue, and reference to baptism instead of circumcision) to bring Paul's message forward into a 21st Century context.

An Orange County tax shelter promoter was sentenced Monday to three years in federal prison for helping people hide their money from the Internal Revenue Service.
Edward J. Lashlee, 54, also must pay a $12,500 fine and back taxes.
The Mission Viejo resident pleaded guilty on March 5 to conspiracy and tax evasion charges. He admitted that the thousands of trusts he created allowed people to hide ownership of major assets and avoid reporting a substantial portion of their income.
Lashlee admitted in his plea deal that he promoted trust investments into the Genesis Fund, which claimed to be an unregulated private investment fund based in Orange County that traded foreign currency through offshore accounts in Hong Kong, Macao and elsewhere.
Potential investors were told that Genesis was extremely profitable and that it did not report its investors' accounts to the Internal Revenue Service, authorities said.

DUI Conviction | Mecklenburg DWI Attorney
So what happens after a DUI conviction? Rather than worry, let's talk about life after DUI.
So You Have a DUI Conviction
Because a DWI arrest is so serious, many fear the worst and wonder if their life is over now. Of course, it is not, and our first goal in every DUI case is to find legal error. But even if ultimately convicted, your life will go on. So here is what you can expect if found guilty or plead guilty to a DWI in North Carolina. First, you will lose your license for one year. However, depending on your circumstances, you may apply for a limited driving privilege immediately or after some period. For example, you must wait 45 days if your BAC is 0.15 or higher. Furthermore, if you refuse breath testing, the wait period increases to 6 months. Consequently, most folks take the breath test when offered at the station.
In addition to losing your license, you will also have to complete substance abuse counseling and do some community service. As to substance abuse, you first take an assessment and then complete the suggested number of counseling hours. For example, if this is your first offense and your BAC is below 0.15, you will probably need 16 hours. However, as you might expect, more serious cases usually result in more hours to complete. And finally, the law requires 24 to 72 hours of community service depending on your sentence. But no jail time for punishment levels 3 through 5.
So There is Life After DUI Conviction
Even though you feared the worst, you survived. In fact, you may even come out stronger for the experience. Regardless, we will get through the process together, and you will know you can count on us. While most folks drink responsibly and don't take chances, you just cannot drive with any alcohol on your breath. Because if stopped on the way home, a DWI investigation will quickly turn badly for you. So rather than take chances, the best bet is to simply not drive after any alcohol.
Even though the law says you can drive up to 0.08, police and juries are quick to judge you. Rather than end up in our office, we prefer that you and your family be safe and not need us. After all, we can always find other practice areas to make a living.

I was pretty tired each time I reached home. Thus, I was tired and my mind was empty. So, blog was neglected. I did reply to all the kind comments though :)
I took a bus on Monday at 7.00 a.m. to Pudu. It took me 1 hour and 30 minutes to reach my destination. The worse thing was standing all the way there. Damn! Going back, again I took a bus home. Guess what, the queue was so damn mighty long. I ended up standing all the way home. Again, damn! I reached home in a pretty bad mood!
To avoid another 'Monday', I took KTM commuter to work. I drove to the nearest station, parked my car there and took the 7.04 a.m. train. Okay, damn again! The train was pack with passengers. On the way to KL Central, the train became more and more pack ... like a can of sardine. On the bright side, the train took 45 minutes to reach KL Sentral. From there, I took LRT to Masjid Jamek. Damn! There was so many people queuing up to enter the train. I had no choice but to wait a little longer to get a place in the train. It was certainly more pack than a can of sardines ... a pancake really! On my way home, gosh ... the weather was so bad. As I reached Masjid Jamek LRT station, I was wondering why everyone was standing at the entrance of the station. An officer told me that LRT was suffering from a power failure. Not wanting to waste any more time there, I walked to the good old KL railway station for the next commuter back home.
Basically, Tuesday was just as bad as Monday ... lol. Wednesday to Friday was much better. Though I had to stand all the way, there was less disruption. I avoided LRT for good. From now onwards, I will only take commuter to work. The downside of it is that I have to walk a little further to reach my office and back to the old railway station.
If you read my previous post, I am sure you will be thinking that I am walking too much again. Well, what choice do I have? I try to walk in a more relax way ... not too fast and not too much force already. What more can I do?
Other than all the troubles getting to my office, everything went well in the office. I will be taking over from my colleague, Mei, who left the company Friday yesterday. Frankly speaking, I haven't even master much of her job scope. I am a little nervous right now thinking how am I gonna survive and go through my new job scope next week. What am I to do?
On the bright side, my boss Joanne Chong and my senior Wan-yi are very helpful, friendly and kind. I am glad and happy to be able to learn from them. On my first week itself, I already did several reports, a presentation and a briefing session besides getting to know and understand Mei's job scope.
That's about it. Have a nice weekend ahead :)

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." ~ Matthew 19:14
My featured story the other day about six-year-old blog writer, Jacob, made me think about all the adults I know who refuse to tap into their gifts. I told Jacob's dad I wanted the world to know there is a young man out there who is already using his unique gifts of writing and promoting to touch others.
His dad told me Jacob asked him how you get money to buy buildings.
"You go to the bank," his dad replied.
"Dad, can you take me? I need money for a building."
"Why do you want a building?"
"I need a place for people to go to play games, the people that follow my blog."
Jesus recognizes young children don't see walls. They have visions and dreams. The kingdom of heaven does belong to them. It's when they grow up and start listening to the dream killers that obstacles form.
A teacher says, "you can't do that."
A parent says, "there is no way a bank will let you have money for your dream, your only six years old."
The dream dies and the passion disappears.
Is that what's holding you back? Did you stop looking at the world from a child's point of view? It's not too late to inherit the kingdom of heaven, to dream again. Invite Jesus into your heart and re-ignite the passion you once had.

game updates:
1. Pet Society is giving away 1000 Gold Coins if you click 'Yes, share my email' on the Facebook request message. see pic below :)
Warning from prince_don: there will be no Pet Society Notifications soon - instead, the notifications will be sent out to your email! do you want to see Bob gave Juan a massive Hug in your mailbox? hahahaha :)
but Silje pointed this out on the Forum:
We´ve noticed a few threads asking about the new "share your email" question you get when playing Pet Society.
I can assure you that we will not be spamming you with emails if you decide to share it with us - we will use it to keep in touch with you as a player of Pet Society! To inform you about Pet Society events such as new features, new items and special player bonuses.
We won't pass your email onto third parties and you can unsubscribe at any time.
I understand that there is also some confusion on the wording used in the share dialogue, as it mentions that notifications will cease to exist. We will NOT be using email to send you things that are currently specific notifications such as when a friend have visited your pet etc.
And one final thing, in the future, some features such as bonus coins and items will ONLY be available to email subscribers!
I hope that clears up some of the confusion you might have with this new feature.
2. New Flower: i dont know its name though!! Image from Pet Society Friends :)
3. Just like Myspace, you will be able to send out 50 coins to users!! :) well, 50 is not much, but its okay rather than nothing?
And just in case that wasn't quite enough excitement for one day, when Sirius spun her lottery wheel, there was yet another surprise in store! After collecting her lottery winnings, she was given 50 bonus coins to share with 5 of her friends, by sharing on her Facebook wall. She quickly published it to her Facebook feed, and hoped a few of her friends would enjoy the extra coins (perhaps to purchase a Red Mystery Box)!My thoughts for todays update:
Excellent! :) Pet Society is indeed making everything to be on top. why? there were alot of changes eversince Petville of 'Zyngayagay' became a direct competitor of Pet Society. i think the Pet Society Team woke up and realized that there styles of making this game difficult to earn coins are all over. now they must to everything so that US the loyal players will not quit. :)
so what do you think of the Mystery Items? i love the teddy and the yellow hoodie.. anyone wants to send me those? :)
