After many years of doing business, we have seen numerous use cases for silent disco: adding a second area to your party, bringing the noise without bringing the pain of noise ordinance tickets, and having a dance party where amplified sound is not allowed are but a few of them.
Even when you can have amplified sound, there are still good reasons to rent a silent disco rig for your next event.
Most silent disco partygoers cite the variety of music/audio channels as their favorite part of a silent disco event. If you don't like the music on one channel, you can change it with the flick of a switch. The variety factor also comes into play at events with amplified sound; if attendees don't like the music on one channel, they can grab a pair of headphones and enjoy something completely different even if they're still by the sound system with their friends.
While this reason is not immediately obvious when one thinks of silent disco, hundreds of people wearing silent disco headphones adds a lot great lighting atmosphere in a unique way. Most silent disco headphones have LED lights on the side of them which either blink or show the color that people are on. When you have hundreds of people in the same place enjoying silent disco, you have a beautiful sea of lights throughout your event.
Remember the last time you had a conversation at a live show? More likely than not, you were yelling into your friend's ear and hearing half of what he/she had to say. With a silent disco event, you just take off your headphones and have a nice conversation with the music in the background around your ears.
Regardless of the reason, silent disco is a unique experience that you should try at least once in your life. When you do, be sure to take off your headphones and marvel at everyone around you dancing to different rhythms in silence. It's always a trip for us, no matter how many events we do.
Never been to a silent disco before or want to experience more? Follow our Facebook page or email us at email@example.com for rates and availability.

Looking to provide something new and exciting for your employees after a long work week? There are a wide variety of ways you can use silent disco to show appreciation for your employees.
1. Dance Party
Hosting a dance party with silent disco headphones is the most common use for them for good reason. In giving people a choice whether to listen to music or not, it also provides multiple music channels that can cater to everyone's needs. Not liking the electronic music on channel 1? Switch over to channel 2 for some classic rock. The system can be used to play playlists, have a live dj, or even transmit audio from a band!
2. Karaoke Night
Since silent disco can be used to play music to our headphones, you can additionally plug in a microphone and set up a teleprompter for a karaoke night! Silent disco karaoke events are especially funny when you take off your headphones and hear someone singing without any music in the background.
3. Game Night
Silent disco headphones can also be used for a variety of games to spice up an event: twister, bingo, and scavenger hunts are common uses. You can even have different games over different channels to give people choices.
To really make things unique, you could even use all three of these event types and have each of them on their own channel!
Interested in having a silent disco at your next corporate party or event? Send us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com for rates and availability!

The White House has berated Fox News for days now for purportedly pushing an agenda and calling it news. So Americans may have been surprised when, as reported by Noel Sheppard, Obama invited two of MSNBC's most divisive liberal pundits--Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow--to the White House for an off-the-record briefing.
As it turns out, Maddow and Olbermann were only two of the left's heavyweights at the briefing. Yesterday, TVNewser received from the White House a complete list of names. Virtually all of them have their histories of shilling for the administration or Democrats generally, and of bashing conservatives.
Let us review the colorful histories of these pundits, and the reader can decide whether they "have a perspective," in the words of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel (in the context of a Fox News attack).
New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd hears racism everywhere. She somehow managed to draw racial motivations from Joe Wilson's 'you lie!' outburst last month. That the comment may have been a valid--if poorly timed--objection to disingenuousness on the President's part was of course out of the question. Because, you know, Wilson's from South Carolina.
E.J. Dionne of the Washington Post wanted Democrats to "make the world safe for tax increases." He notably accused President Bush of using "the post-Sept. 11 mood to do all he could to intimidate Democrats from raising questions more of them should have raised."
Another WaPo columnist, Eugene Robinson, suggested in 2005 that fears of a conspiracy in New Orleans to "save the French Quarter and the Garden District at the expense of the Lower Ninth Ward, which is almost all black" were not that crazy, and that the people muttering these theories were "reasonable" and "sober."
New York Times columnist Frank Rich has compared Joy Behar to Edward R. Murrow. He also attributed a large portion of the opposition to Obama to conservatives who are "irrationally fearful of the fast-moving generational, cultural and racial turnover Obama embodies."
PBS anchor Gwen Ifill penned a book about the Obama campaign that contained these glowing words about inauguration day: "the romance and achievement of 1960s civil rights marches bearing fruit, as the lions of the movement mingled with the up and comers. Some had been slow to embrace Barack Obama. Some had been quick. But, this night, all wanted to bear witness..."
New York Times columnist Bob Herbert claimed that an ad attacking Barack Obama during the campaign was racist because it showed Paris Hilton and Britney Spears (in the context of criticizing Obama's celebrity) and contained the phallic (in Herbert's words) images of the Washington Monument and the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
These pundits have certainly shown their willingness to shill for Obama and liberals and to decry opposition as somehow illegitimate. They all have "perspectives," and push their agendas through the media for which they report. If that makes Fox News an enemy, why are these commentators being invited to the White House?

Professor Vitit Muntarbhorn, writing in the Bangkok Post argues reports of torture and ill treatment of people in the southern Muslim province on the south are on the increase. He beleived the Thailand government must become more pro-active in addressing long festering problems related to lack of equal rights for Muslims in his nation. "Crimes are being committed extensively, particularly against civilians, and it is the general local population that suffers most." Some of the challenges to Thailand's government are:
1. The current State of Emergency Decree which prohibits visits by families and lawyers during the initial three days to those being detained creates hardships.
2. The three day rule begins anew if the person is moved from one location to another.
3, Various emergency laws allow authorities to detain people for seven days without any court process being initiated. The government insists the detained person is technically "helping authorities" which obviously is a euphimism for being arrested.
4. Many children under the age of eighteen have been detained which violates the rights of children to access to legal assistance. Poor women whose husbands have been arrested lack money for a family's basic needs.
There is need for more aggressive programs that address issues of poverty in southern areas of Thailand and that provide greater opporunities for Muslims to become actively engaged in the political arena. Military action against terrorists is only one facet of any program of ending violence. Unless social, economic and political steps are taken, there will continue to be unrest in Muslim areas of Thailand.

CAFE Guide: A Map Through the MPG Maze
New fuel efficiency standards, finalized in August after a year of discussion, have a simple-sounding goal: cut fuel consumption and emissions. But the rules – at 1,994 pages and more than half a million words – are anything but straight- forward, reports Automotive News. Each automaker's vehicle fleet ultimately will have to average at least 54.5 mpg – unless gasoline prices drastically change, new technologies emerge, consumers behave differently, or any other assumptions that the government made while drafting the rules turn out to be way off. On top of that, the 54.5 mpg figure is based on strict federal testing criteria. And, five years from now, the government could decide that the standards are too difficult or costly and change the game again. There is a lot of expense involved – about $150 billion for the industry, according to the Obama administration. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says the average light vehicle will cost $2,556 extra by 2025, not adjusted for inflation, though it believes the new rules would end up saving consumers as much as $5,000 over a vehicle's lifetime by using less fuel.

Obama Trumpets Rebound of U.S. Auto Industry
President Barack Obama heralded the turnaround of the U.S. auto industry in his weekly radio address – ahead of the second debate showdown Tuesday with Republican rival Mitt Romney. Obama touted his decision to rescue General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC as part of the $85 billion bailout – and he praised some new models hitting the showrooms. "Just a few years ago, the auto industry wasn't just struggling — it was flatlining. GM and Chrysler were on the verge of collapse. Suppliers and distributors were at risk of going under. More than a million jobs across the country were on the line — and not just auto jobs, but the jobs of teachers, small business owners, and everyone in communities that depend on this great American industry," Obama said. According to The Detroit News, Obama did not mention that GM and Chrysler did in fact file for bankruptcy in the summer of 2009 – and the administration pushed the two into court restructuring as part of the bailout.

2013 Motor Trend SUV of the Year: Mercedes-Benz GL
SUVs have changed. For the first time ever, Motor Trend says it didn't have a single body-on-frame example in its annual SUV of the Year competition. For its 2013 competition, the overwhelming majority of the competitors were car-based. However, there was one vehicle that wasn't, and in the words of Frank Markus, "did more of what we expect an SUV to do." That vehicle is the 2013 Mercedes-Benz GL. The flavor didn't matter. From the fuel-sipping, diesel-powered GL350 to the "how can this be the weaker of the two V-8s?" GL450 to the "3-ton objects should not move this quickly" 429-hp GL550, Mercedes has built an SUV that's better than the rest. Not just in its competitive class: The new, second-generation GL is the best new SUV on the market period, and the winner of Motor Trend's prize. As for interior dislikes, there weren't many. The whole team agreed that COMAND, Mercedes-Benz's version of iDrive, is in serious need of a major rethink. That said, the 360-degree camera parking system (very similar to Infiniti's Around View) drew nothing but praise as the best the industry currently offers. Read more of Motor Trend's report on its 2013 SUV of the Year here.
Tata will Redo Nano for the U.S.
According to Automotive News, a redesigned version of India's no-frills Nano minicar will come to the United States in three years, said Ratan Tata, the billionaire boss of that country's giant Tata Group. "The U.S. is a very enticing market," Tata said in an interview. "We are redesigning the Nano for both Europe and the U.S." He said the new Nano will be far more sophisticated than the ultracheap model that has flopped in India despite a world of hype. It will get a bigger engine and "more bells and whistles," including such features as power steering and traction control. Tata said it will be priced below $10,000. What the 74-year-old industrialist did not say is how he intends to sell it here. Tata has no U.S. retail network. The existing Nano, an egg-shaped four-seater, was developed for India as an alternative to scooters. At 122 inches long, it is nearly two feet shorter than a Mini, and it has a two-cylinder, rear-mounted engine with 37 hp. Tata, whose company owns Jaguar and Land Rover, conceived the Nano as the world's cheapest car. It went on sale in 2009 with a price tag of about $2,500. Click here for more on Tata's U.S. plans.
Family Car Showdown: These Cars Will Change the Way You Think About Sedans
The stalwart family sedan is maligned almost as much as the poor minivan. But like that versatile people mover, it's incredibly practical. Four doors, ample room for five, and a good-sized trunk. Plus, it's affordable and gets better gas mileage than a minivan or SUV. No wonder 27 percent of vehicles sold during the first half of 2012 were mid-sized sedans, according to Experian Automotive. In fact, mid-sized cars account for five of the 10 best-selling vehicles in the U.S., and sales in the segment are up 25 percent, growing faster than the overall industry. This fall, according to Forbes, there's an all-out family car feud going on in dealer showrooms, with newly redesigned mid-sized entries from just about every major player. What's nice is there's not a plain-vanilla one in the bunch. All feature more expressive styling, better fuel economy, lots of premium features, and oodles of advanced technology, for around $25,000 to $30,000. The average American is driving an 11-year-old car, so their shopping list is probably different from the last time they shopped for a sedan, thanks to new competitors that have elbowed their way into consideration. For more on this year's family sedans, click here.

Should Catholic Church musicians be paid?

Re: Should Catholic Church musicians be paid?
I have been a cantor for 9 years. And I started in a college (FUS) that had a great music ministry program that puts most parishes to shame. Here's what I think.
Hold Open Auditions - and promote those auditions
Music Ministers Sing at only one Mass per weekend
Music Ministers are volunteers and are not paid
Music Leaders who give lots of time during their week are paid - they must also play an instrument and they usually attend more than one (1) Mass per Sunday liturgy
Make all Music Ministers go on a training weekend retreat so everyone knows what they are doing
Music Ministers should be Catholic, understand music as a ministry within the Church and Love the Mass
The end.

Technology is poised to become a feast for the senses...
Communication is moving beyond barriers, says Rhodri Marsden
Websites and apps are frequently described by their creators as offering a 'rich experience'. The beautiful designs, intuitive layouts and compelling interactivity may well be engaging and satisfying to use, but when they're hailed as being a 'feast for the senses', it's evident that they're a feast for merely two.
Online entertainment is about sight and sound; everything is mediated through a glass panel and a speaker, leaving us well short of being immersed in an alternative reality.
But with studies having demonstrated that more than half of human communication is non-verbal, scientists have been working on ways of communicating touch, taste and smell via the internet.
"What do you smell?" asks Adrian Cheok, professor of pervasive computing at City University London. The whiff of melon is unmistakable; it emerged from a tiny device clipped to an iPhone and was triggered by Cheok standing on the other side of the room.
In the shorter term, the applications of these devices seem slightly frivolous. "Fortunately, or unfortunately," he says, "that's where they've decided that the money is.
"But we need to explore the boundaries of how these things can be used, because scientists and inventors can't think of all the possibilities."
Our transition to an internet of all the senses is evidently dependent on the breadth of information that can be conveyed from one person to another as a series of zeroes and ones. "You have to find a way of, say, transmitting smell digitally, without using a sachet," says Cheok. Few of us can conceive of the pace with which technological power is developing. Ray Kurzweil (author, futurist, and a director of engineering at Google) predicts that, by 2025, we'll have a computer which has the processing power of the human brain. Cheok sees this as a hugely important tipping-point for society.
Society will also have to work out how it's going to handle the hyper-connectivity of a multisensory internet – bearing in mind that we can already become deeply frustrated by the few kilobytes of information contained within the average overloaded email inbox.
"Our brains haven't changed to cope with infinite communication," says Cheok. "We don't have a mechanism for knowing when there's too much, in the way that we do when we've eaten too much.
"Communication is not just a desire, it's a basic need – but we've gone from being hunter-gatherers in groups of 20, or 30, to being in a world of infinite data. We could literally gorge on communication and be unable to stop."
Marshall McLuhan, the Canadian philosopher of communication theory, famously used the term "global village" to describe the effect of connected media upon the world's population.
Cheok believes that new sensory-communication channels will demonstrate how prescient that prediction was.
"For most of human history, we didn't have privacy," he says. "Everyone knew who was doing what. And these developments will mean that we become more and more open; almost bringing us back to the way that life used to be in hunter-gatherer times. Except, of course, it's now global."
The implications of the work of Cheok and his contemporaries seem to sit midway between exciting and terrifying, but in the shorter term it's about focusing on relatively mundane objectives, such as emitting multiple odours from a smartphone.
"People will get used to this new mode of communication," says Cheok, "and develop new languages.
"We don't yet have a language of smell, or touch. But, combined with emotion and the subconscious, it'll bring a heightened sense of presence.
"I've no idea what that will feel like, but I've always believed that human communication goes far beyond the logical."

You may have heard the StoryCorps project featured on NPR: Its mission is to "provide Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs with the opportunity to record, share, and preserve the stories of our lives."
Tonight StoryCorps comes to PBS' POV as an ongoing series of animated shorts. I've seen the first installment, Danny & Annie, Parts 1 & 2, and I highly recommend you watch/record it.
Danny & Annie tells the powerful and true story of a couple in love. That's all you need to know. Though the animation is simple and the tale is brief (seven minutes), it had me crying -- no, sobbing -- by the end.
StoryCorps airs after tonight's featured documentary on POV, Salt. You should be able to see it at 10:30 p.m. ET, but check your PBS listings to ensure channels/times. I'd love to hear what you think about it afterward.
Whitney has been writing about pop culture for USA TODAY since 1999, when Pop Candy began as a weekly column. Her interests include music festivals, mustaches, Lost, comic books and Andy Warhol. She lives in New York City. More about Whitney | E-mail Whitney

Jan. 31, 2014
By Jenny Herstein, U-M Public & Media Relations
Throughout the season, Caris LeVert has been a difference maker for the Wolverines. Yet, LeVert's contributions to the game do not always appear in the boxscore. Whether he's deflecting passes or guarding the opposition's best player, the sophomore guard's impact on Michigan's success can pass by unnoticed. But when the opportunity presents itself, LeVert can make his presence known. Thursday night (Jan. 30) against Purdue was one such occasion, as the LeVert recorded his first career double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds.
"Caris throughout his career has always been a multidimensional player, in a sense that he can get deflections that lead to steals for his teammates, he can get clean rebounds," said assistant coach Bacari Alexander. "He's a guy that understands defensive rotations to disrupt the flow of opponent's offenses. He's one of those type of guys who has a high offensive and defensive IQ that bodes well for his stat sheet stuffing."
"He's a good player," said Purdue head coach Matt Painter. "He's very versatile. He understands angles. He can score the basketball. I know his high school coach pretty well. He just worked. He wasn't a player early in his high school career, and those are some of the best guys you can have in college because they appreciate things, they've had to work for everything. He's a guy who puts a lot of time into his game, and you can tell. He has a midrange game, he can shoot threes, and he can drive it."
Because of his high defensive IQ, one of LeVert's most important roles this year has been guarding the opponent's best player -- be it Iowa's Roy Devin Marble or Michigan State's Gary Harris -- a role that he has come to embrace.
"Locking on the (other) team's best player, I really take pride in that," said LeVert. "I've got to have great endurance, great stamina."
"Caris is one of our more intelligent defenders, so we can always give him many different assignments," said Alexander. "I think what happens in those situations (when guarding another team's best player), his tremendous length allows him to be very disruptive, which makes it very hard for teams to see. Caris is kind of a one-man wrecking crew, if you will, defensively, which gives him the ability to be all over the court and take in a lot of different assignments."
This is just one of LeVert's many roles that have been critical in the Wolverines' 10-game win stretch. Against Purdue, the sophomore showed that even as a guard, he could be dominant on the glass, grabbing nine rebounds for Michigan in the first half.
"Caris is a beneficiary of one of our strategies, which suggests our big guys' job is to block out their men. If they can't secure the rebound, because we have a size disparity or a strength disparity, our guards come in and clean up the glass for us," said Alexander. "Caris has done a great job of relishing that role. And it's a role that we're going to need him to do each and every night for us to be successful on the defensive and offensive glass."
"I got some of them that came right to me, but we knew (Morgan) and Jon (Horford) would be tied up all night with Hammons, so we knew I would have to rebound -- Derrick (Walton Jr.), as well," added LeVert of his performance.
Against a Purdue team known for its ability on the boards, LeVert's 11 rebounds helped Michigan to stay in control of the game. While the Boilermakers grabbed 16 offensive rebounds for 19 second change points, the Wolverines were competitive on the glass, only being outrebounded 32-30 against the Big Ten's best rebounding team.
While keeping the Boilermakers off the offensive boards was a challenge, Michigan's biggest obstacle in the game against Purdue was turnovers. The Wolverines, typically disciplined ball handlers, gave the ball away 16 times over the course of the night. Fortunately, Michigan was able to record as many points off turnovers as Purdue (12). LeVert helped force the Boilermakers to give up the ball, recording three steals on the night.
LeVert embraced each of these subtle but critical roles against Purdue as he has every night, making small plays that contribute greatly to hotly contested Big Ten matches. Further demonstrating his versatility, the sophomore also added two assists and two blocks to his tally for the night.
But where LeVert's performance against Purdue stood out from his usual count of defensive and hustle plays was in his ability to score the basketball.
With Purdue's defense keyed in on sophomore stars Nik Stauskas and Glenn Robinson III, LeVert found space to drive to the basket.
"Everyone's going to think about Stauskas and Glenn Robinson," said Painter. "Your worst defender goes on him (LeVert). I think he enjoys that."
"There's going to be some nights where teams focus in a little bit more on me, and that's going to give opportunities to other guys to go out there and score and be effective," said Stauskas. "I think Derrick and Caris specifically have been doing a great job of stepping up and scoring when we need them to."
"It's the same thing we've seen with Caris in practices last year, when we said 'we've got to burn this redshirt,'" added head coach John Beilein. "He's playing off residual action, much like Glenn did last year. He just finds spots. There are very few things called for him other than he's in space where he can attack and get open for threes."
LeVert added that he took it upon himself in the second half to exploit those openings in the defense to drive to the basket aggressively, rather than to settle for other shots."I think in the first half I was settling a little bit for midrange jump shots instead of getting all the way to the rim," the sophomore said. "Coach Vall (LaVall Jordan) talked to me about that at halftime. In the second half, I got to the rim a lot more."
"I think he was doing a great job of reading the pick-and-roll, and he was just trying to be extremely aggressive," Stauskas added. "When he's aggressive, he's playing his best ball."
LeVert's role may differ from night to night, depending on what strategy the opponent choses to play against the Wolverines. Some games may lead to a high scoring performance, while, in others, the sophomore's contributions may be quieter. Yet the more one pays attention to LeVert's play across the floor, the clearer it becomes: no matter what will or will not appear in the box score, Michigan's guard can find a way to contribute.

Dear friends,
The highlights and low-lights,
We have been having more fun than you can imagine!
We have laughed a lot.
The anxiety level is off the charts! 19 women really get worked up including Valium before the races, hot wine before the races, throwing up before the races, "fatto" written on Lynn's skis, a meth driven head honcho at our hotel named Andrea who is driving us nuts!, he tries to put on "shows" every night and hes so loud and narcissistic! 2 nights ago was reenactment of the Jesus, Mary, Joseph scene using all of us as the actors. Brenda hid under the dining table to avoid being chosen!
He's yelled at me almost every night for the unruly Vamps! we just tune him out if we can! Ann took an extra loop that wasn't even part of the course! We all can't wait to eat food outside of this hotel- especially no more veal with tuna sauce or pork knuckles, or neck of beef, or liver with anchovies! Mmmmm? The cappuccinos were good, however. On the way to dinner every night , we pass "Blaine Manor" which is the lounge where you can get Internet access in our hotel. It is packed every night with skiers on their devices. Why is it called Blaine Manor? This is the MASTER'S Worlds after all! Oh, and Paula asked me if its okay to take pictures as she's racing? I said, "NO!"
7 hours later…
Everyone is done with the races! No more DQ's, no more starts and no more finishes. I think everyone is relieved to be done after a long, hard week of racing. Joney, Karen and Charlie did the 30 km classic and the rest of us lined the course and hooted and hollered at them, much to their chagrin. Pat Simpson, Charlie and Norm all wore Vamps suits in their 30 km races. Now all the world knows about the "Wamps" or sometimes it's the "Wumps". They cant pronounce the "V" ! Our suits were a hit!
Here's a roundup of the overall results:
- Joanne- 1 silver, 2 bronze
- Kelly- 3 bronze
- Charlie French- 3 gold
- Norm Clark-1 silver, 2 bronze
- Jon Engen- 2 bronze
- Del Pletcher-1 bronze
- Muffy- 2 silvers

Look at the documentation for LinearModelFit. The syntax is not

'The Great Disappointment' Turns a Skeptical Eye on God, Death and What Comes Next
I don't know if the late, great Christopher Hitchens ever read webcomics, but he probably would have enjoyed Box Brown's Ignatz-Award-winning Everything Dies. Brown has spent the past couple of years poking and prodding at religious beliefs, from ancient creation myths to the modern memetic spread of the Rapture. The Great Disappointment is the first print volume of Everything Dies, collecting the tales that believers and non-believers alike tell ourselves to understand the world around us and cope with our own mortality.In the comic "Extraordinary Proof," Brown claims that most atheists "hardly think about God at all," but he nonetheless has an obvious fascination with all things divine. The Great Disappointment is a collection of Brown's shorter comics, each concerned with some aspect of religious belief. The sources of these comics is diverse: "The Book of Job" comes, of course, from the Old Testament (though Brown recasts it in a modern setting), while "Marry Only in the Lord" is based on a Jehovah's Witness e-mail forward that inadvertently landed in Brown's inbox. "Christ of the Ozarks," "I am a Patriot" and the apocalyptic "The Great Upsucking" are based on historical events.
In these episodes, Brown dons the cap of a religious anthropologist, delving into belief systems both familiar and alien. Some, like "Marry Only in the World," are presented with little visual comment, inviting the reader to take these believers at their own word. Others contain surprising moments of poignancy; "I Was Invincible," part of a trilogy about unusual Mormon beliefs, includes the point of view of an ex-Mormon who is reluctant to take off his Temple garments long after he stops going to Temple. "Raisin," which examines a physical phenomenon among Muslims who engage in five-times-daily prayer, exposes Brown's awe for religious piety, even if he doesn't agree with said piety.
Admittedly, I come to The Great Disappointment from a not especially religious stance. I was raised in a rather Jewish part of Long Island, in a very ecumenical outlet of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. My pastor was a bit of a Universalist, and my key memory of catechism class involves a friend of mine reeling in shock after Pastor Charley claimed that God loved even Adolf Hitler.
And I admit that share many of Brown's religious obsessions; I've been keenly interested in the traditions of the Latter-Day Saints, for example, since I grew close to a Mormon dorm mate in high school. (Incidentally, I believe that Mormons are the most likely American population to survive the zombie apocalypse.) I wouldn't go so far as to call myself an atheist, as Brown does, but my Northeastern deism doesn't particularly mind his vivisection of neo-Christian notions or his tendency to render the Creator au natural.
For those whose religious traditions lean more toward the evangelical, The Great Disappointment could be more uncomfortable experience. Although Brown favors rationalism over religion, Sikhs and Muslims fare better than Mormons, who in turn get more favorable treatment than evangelical Christians. The most shocking moment in Brown's simple, thick-lined artwork is a caricature of black people, seen through the eyes of Gerald LK Smith, commissioner of the Christ of the Ozarks statue and notorious racist. Other featured evangelicals include Hal Lindsey, who made his money popularizing the concept of the Rapture, and a heap of people who feel weirdly compelled to bash the popular "Coexist" bumper sticker.
It's rare that I prefer the print version of a webcomic to the online version, I was pleasantly surprised to find that The Great Disappointment actually works better as a book than as a series of Everything Dies comics online. The book starts, appropriately, with "Alpha," a series of creation myths from various religious traditions, and ends with "Omega," a similar run of destruction tales. Toward the middle comes "Paradise" and "The Book of Job." In print these all serve as a nice set of brackets, but online, they're just another set of episodes.
Another nice aspect of the print volume is that it gets more personal as the book goes on. Before "Omega," Brown closes his book with three personal stories "But I don't want to die…," "Ben Died of a Train" and "Pre-Need," which detail Brown's journey to atheism, his own experience with loss and the comforting stories he tells himself about his eventual death. After all those pages of Brown scratching at other people's beliefs, it's a relief to see him turn his wandering fingernail back on himself.
These three stories get at the gooey center beneath Brown's fascination with religion: death. It's not for subtlety that he's named his comic Everything Dies, and the thesis of some (though by no means all) of his comics is that people subscribe to radical metaphysical theories because they fear their own mortality. "But I don't want to die…" opens with young, Catholic Box Brown who prayed to God because he feared World War III and whose introduction to the notion of atheism is similarly coupled with a fear of death. In "Pre-Need," Brown envisions the ideal circumstances of his death and memorial — and it's not surprising that it's the sort of gentle, fulfilled death many people would wish for, even if they vary on the details.
But it's "Ben Died of a Train" that is the most powerful of the three. In Ben, a childhood friend, Brown comes stunningly close to describing a messianic figure, a magnetic personality who is instantly beloved by all who meet him, and whose life is cut tragically, if not unexpectedly, short. Ben, however, does not rise from the dead, does not combat any demonic god-figures, does not usher in an era of peace (although he is a blast at parties). He is simply there one day and gone the next, and while Brown deliberately refuses to imagine any afterlife scenarios for Ben, he also keeps clear of any smug rationalist platitudes. He simply acknowledges that no matter how much peace he's made with his own mortality and how much he's learned to love the beauty of this world, losing a friend will always be sad.

Transitioning from Showline to Working line
Hi everyone, I'm transitioning from SGSD to WGSD. I have a puppy reserve from Schraderhaus K-9 out of Lord x Pascha (Annie) litter. I'm not to familiar with the colors though. I want a VERY dark sable, but some dogs I see them advertise as Dark Black sable others as Mahogany black sable or black sable. I never heard of a Mahogany black sable, can someone show me pictures of the different colors.
Sable is sable, anything beyond that are just describing words, but on person's "dark" sable might be another person's "black" sable. I've never heard of different types of black sable. Black is black, lol. To me a black sable is a dog that looks black, like this dog Gordon:
First of all, welcome to the forum! In addition to what you'll find here, if you Google 'sable GSD','black sable', etc., there are a lot of descriptions and images. It's a good place to start. Black sable is my favorite color. I sense a lot of pictures are about to follow!
Thus is a question I've been wondering about my boy. I know he is sable but what type of sable would he be? His head is black and red and his body is black, tan, and grey.

Here is photo
Sables change with the seasons.....My male looks much lighter in the Winter than the summer.
Your dog is a sable, Dobbydad, not dark, not light, not a patterned, not a red, but a typical sable.
Agree with Jane, a real nice "sable", not dark, not too light.
I agree with the others. A sable dog is a sable dog. They have various degrees of color. This is where the more descriptive terms stem from. My pup is 11 weeks and would be considered a black sable. In the photos below he is 9 weeks and 10 weeks. Each week I see his coat color changing. He is starting to lighten on his sides, but will darken again later as his adult coat comes in. Like Jane stated, they change like the seasons. I love all the different degrees of color with the sable!
I'm relatively new here and I'm not trying to hijack the thread but the question struck me as funny. If I was transitioning from SL to WL, the color of the dog would be way down on my list of questions/concerns. But I have had a rescue, a American SL and a German SL.
When I get more time in my life, I'd like to get a WL shepherd.
Do they come in mahogany? If so, I'll take a red mahogany.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
post op update
Its been just over a week after surgery and i'm feeling great. Off the pain meds although since I have so many left over I do take them at night to help with sleep discomfort.
Today they finally took off the bandage, which i would compare to wax hair removal with the glue they used, and my shoulder looks perfectly normal aside from the long incision. The stitches have been removed and I'd have to say I am more than pleased with the results. It could be all in my head but I already feel like i have more mobility, although I have been told to keep the movement to a minimum even when it doesn't hurt.
Having dislocated one shoulder once and the other shoulder three times (kayaking, skiing, tubing, skiing), I will reiterate what others said originally - PT! The reason professional athletes come back in too shape usually is because they do PT hours a day. I never did enough and, although I am perfectly functional for most things, I have plenty of limitations as well that I could have prevented.
Good luck!
@Rance P i'm sure you'll be fine on your trip as long as you maintain awareness that you are hurt. My joint was extremely unstable when i went up last week, as I've been able to push the bone back in very easily this whole time. Sounds like you're on the right track since type II's should be managed through PT.
During my PT I was also able to do all the day to day things like brush my teeth and shower, but nothing really beyond that so I happy to hear you're not gonna have the same issues. One downside for me is that even with surgery there might still be a small lump, he said it won't be anywhere near as bad or visible as the original injury.
Anyway thanks for sharing and post up a clip of that whistler trip. I'm so bummed out since park was my main focus this year, and now it looks like I might be forever afraid to try it again. You were right when you said this injury makes you learn how much you love to ride, and i'll had how much I loved being able to sleep on my side.
Happy healing and have fun on your trip
|Rance P
On Jan 10th (5 days before my damn birthday), caught my toe edge while charging on a black diamond trail, did a great Superman impression through the air, tucked, rolled and landed all 220lbs of me on my right shoulder. Heard a "crunch" and knew I was in trouble. Oddly didn't feel any pain unless i tried to move my shoulder...everyone was shocked and had that "this dude is tough" look on their face. I just figure it was adrenaline and shock and when that wore off (and it did) I was gonna feel all types of pain. End result a Type 2 AC joint separation.
No surgery required. Had to take 2 weeks off work and I'm at physiotherapy twice a week. We work on strengthening the muscles in the shoulder, traps and shoulder blade area. Its been nearly 5 weeks since this happened and i can pretty much do all the basic things we take for granted. When this started, putting on deodorant was the hardest thing to do. Shoulder still lacks stability in the joint but I'm hoping to get back out in about another 3 weeks. I have a trip to Whistler already booked and I've told my therapist that not going is not an option. I figure I'll just take it easy and cruise...no hard charging or park play.
If anything this injury has made me realize how much I love snowboarding. Really miss just being out with the team and having fun. Also made me realize that the best thing I can do is get in better shape to handle injuries.
Side Note...2 years ago I broke my baby toe and that hurt a lot worse than this shoulder separation. Go figure.
7 week update
I'm giving a 7 week update for anyone who might search for info on this injury.
As per my own decision after being diagnosed with a type III separation, I waited about until I was strong enough and started PT. The therapists were great at stretching me out and trying to improve range of motion, but it was clear on their faces they did not see a positive outlook judging by how displaced my collar bone was. We hit a stale area where I did not feel pain day to day, and looked like a normal individual to anyone who was unaware of my injury. As the point I still had only about 60% range of motion. I told my surgeon (Dr. Anikar Chhabra) how i was feeling and we went ahead operate yesterday on 2/14/14.
The planned procedure was the twin tail tightrope that basically uses #5 fiber wire to mimic your natural ligaments. Upon arriving at surgery I the doctor told me that if he found a need to strengthen the wires he would use either cadaver tendons or parts of my hamstring, and I opted for cadaver tendons. I was also told that he no longer wanted to use a never block since an immediate post op check required me to be able to move my arm. I agreed since a never block requires a long needle to the neck and i'm just not with that. After signing all the paper work the nurse gave me a lidocane shot to number the area where the IV was inserted making that process easy and pain free. Soon after the anesthesiologist came and walked me through the drug process and I was asleep. I woke up with pain similar if not more than that of the accident, nausea, and unable to move my body. This wore off within a few hours.
I was discharged right away and began cold therapy using the provide DonJon Iceman clear cold unit (best thing since sliced bread) and relaxed on my reclining portion of my living room sectional. The pain slowly went away with drug use to about a 4 on the 1-10 scale. Current drugs are percocet, 800 mg ibuprofen, a stool softener, and nausea medication. Taking 1 percocet every 4-6 hours has me feeling comfortable.
I emailed the doc once I was thinking clearly and he called me within the hour to tell me how everything went. I was told that the original diagnosis of type III (done by comparing the xray of the damaged side to the good side) was incorrect and that I was closer to the type V border, thus I should of had surgery sooner. The surgery lasted for an hour and 15 minutes and no tendons were used. I'm told that I should be off the meds in the next 3-5 days and will start a video journal and post here once i'm done and at that point.
Now that the surgery is complete my road to recovery is set at 6 week sling, 6 mo mark should be full range of motion, 1 year mark fully healed. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask.
ps forgive me on the grammar and spelling, i'm currently drugged up and some errors are expected. Happy riding and here is a little clip I made of my last trip out on 2.9.14 trying to teach my gf to ride. also its only 15 seconds since it was for instagram
I had labral surgery on my other shoulder
Sucked balls, stupid ass surgery.
You can fix the impingement syndrome and labral stuff without surgery. Damn surgeon talked me into that one
I had a grade 4 ac joint separation around this time last year, fully tore all the ligaments. I'm about a year out now and everything went well. The surgery aspect sucked for a while but it wasn't as bad as my knee surgery. I was able to go back and ride for the last day of the season and it's been fine ever since.
You'll definitely have to work at rehabing it either way, so be diligent about that.
Yeah, mine isn't that bad though. ROM is fine, itll pop and click here and there but whatever.
You really have to do functional rehab with it. It's never going to be 100% but you can get to the point where you're confident with it in anything.
