What u Atheist believe in what will happen when u die ? what is after death ? is it game over or what ?
There is no afterlife, just death. You die, that's it ?
Views: 1787
I'm guessing you're new. This question is asked all the time in different forms. You might try using the Search function.
After you die, you won't know it. There will be no you. I always say that "Dying is an experience. Death is not."
i see every one here has his own plans for after death
ok now if there is nothing after death
and there is only one life
what should atheist do to enjoy his one life ?
I spend my time learning another language, practicing violin, trying new foods, and trying to get a book published.
I think that is different for each person. Also, why do you base it on enjoyment?
RE: "what should atheist do to enjoy his one life ?"
Whatever he pleases, as long as he doesn't hurt himself or anyone else.
As one pleases to the extent they don't injure anyone or themselves!
To enjoy my life, I will marvel at the very fact that I am alive and CAN marvel over it, love, be loved, cry, laugh, make puns, hike up mountains because they are there, teach, learn, savor pleasant sensations, be aware of each moment, leave the world a better place somehow...
Certainly not waste my life worshiping something that doesn't exist. It's really nice not having the burden of thinking there's someone out there judging my every action.
Marc, I'm with you on there being nothing out there doing any judging.
I have for a few years been doing some judging. I regularly tell xians that their "designer" did a poor job of designing the human body. If tooth decay isn't enough to persuade you to my point of view, then consider a condition many older men know: the prostate's enlarging and shutting off the flow of urine. Using a term I learned while in the Navy, that is one piss-poor design job.
The human body's many poorly designed features will easily support a conclusion that it just evolved from something that had itself been poorly designed.
Was the human knee designed for football? The elbow for tennis? Etc, etc, etc.
I don't have any plans for after death; I will be dead.
As for life, I try to leave my little corner of the world better for my being in it.
As for everybody else, atheists are not some strange creature, they are people... just like all of the other people on the planet. Personalities and interests vary, along with all of the other qualities that make people unique and individual. Non-believers give purpose to their lives through their interests and actions, just like believers.
A dish of ice cream will improve my little corner of the world.

Weekly Wire: the Global Forum
These are some of the views and reports relevant to our readers that caught our attention this week.
#UgandaSpeaks: Al-Jazeera uses Ushahidi to Amplify Local Voices in Response to #Kony2012
"Invisible Children's #Kony2012 campaign has set off a massive firestorm of criticism with the debate likely to continue raging for many more weeks and months. In the meantime, our colleagues at Al-Jazeera have repurposed our previous #SomaliaSpeaks project to amplify Ugandan voices responding to the Kony campaign: #UgandaSpeaks.
Other than GlobalVoices, this Al-Jazeera initiative is one of the very few seeking to amplify local reactions to the Kony campaign. Over 70 local voices have been shared and mapped on Al-Jazeera's Ushahidi platform in the first few hours since the launch. The majority of reactions submitted thus far are critical of the campaign but a few are positive." READ MORE

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — If Joseph Kony lived in relative anonymity before this week, he's an Internet star now.

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — If Joseph Kony lived in relative anonymity before this week, he's an Internet star now.
A video about the atrocities carried out by Kony's Lord's Resistance Army has become viral, racking up millions more views seemingly by the hour.
The marketing campaign is an effort by the advocacy group Invisible Children to vastly increase awareness about a jungle militia leader who is wanted for atrocities by the International Criminal Court and is being hunted by 100 U.S. Special Forces advisers and local troops in four Central African countries.
The group's 30-minute video, which was released Monday, had more than 21 million views on YouTube by Thursday. The movie is part of an effort called KONY 2012 that targets Kony and the LRA.
"Kony is a monster. He deserves to be prosecuted and hanged," said Col. Felix Kulayigye, the spokesman for Uganda's military.
But Kulayigye said that Kony's forces — once thousands strong — have been so degraded that he no longer considers him a threat to the region. Because of the intensified hunt for Kony, his forces split into smaller groups that can travel the jungle more easily. Experts estimate that the LRA now has only about 250 fighters. Still, the militia abducts children, forcing them to serve as soldiers or sex slaves, and even to kill their parents or each other to survive.
Uganda, Invisible Children and (hash)stopkony were among the top 10 trending terms on Twitter among both the worldwide and U.S. audience on Wednesday night, ranking higher than New iPad or Peyton Manning. Twitter's top trends more commonly include celebrities than fugitive militants.
Ben Keesey, Invisible Children's 28-year-old chief executive officer, said the viral success shows their message resonates and that viewers feel empowered to force change. It was released on the website, http://www.kony2012.com.
"The core message is just to show that there are few times where problems are black and white. There's lots of complicated stuff in the world, but Joseph Kony and what he's doing is black and white," Keesey said Wednesday.
The burst of attention has also brought with it some criticism of Invisible Children's work on Internet sites, including the ratio of the group's spending on direct aid, its rating by the site Charity Navigator, and a 2008 photo of three Invisible Children members holding guns alongside troops from the country now known as South Sudan.
Invisible Children posted rebuttals to the criticism on its website.
Kony's Ugandan rebel group is blamed for tens of thousands of mutilations and killings over the last 26 years.
Last year, Invisible Children began installing high frequency radios in Africa's remotest jungle to help track militia attacks in Congo, Central African Republic and South Sudan. People in areas without phones can report attacks on the radios to people who put them on a website called the LRA Crisis Tracker.
Invisible Children's efforts to recruit support from U.S. political leaders appears to have paid off. Last year the State Department called the group's Crisis Tracker "a really innovative tool" for information sharing. A U.S. military spokesman said the U.S. military is also aware of the Crisis Tracker.

It took a hundred years, but now we have national health insurance. The policy first proposed to the nation by Theodore Roosevelt in his 1912 third-party presidential campaign is now, in 2012, the law of the land–certified by the Supreme Court. And yet as we look ahead to the next century, we might ask ourselves: Is there something more important than health insurance? Like, say, health itself?
Barack Obama could well lose the 2012 presidential election, and if he does, the Affordable Care Act will be one big reason. Not only is the personal mandate–now judged to be a tax–intensely unpopular, but the whole national healthcare effort has been judged to be a diversion away from fixing the nation's economy.
Yet polls also show that overwhelming majorities of Americans support key features of the legislation, such as the requirement that insurance companies cover people with pre-existing conditions and insure young people up to age 26, as well as Medicare's filling of the "donut hole" for prescription drugs.
So even if the much-derided "Obamacare" were repealed, certain commitments within the legislation are likely to be kept, perhaps under a different name. The private health insurers will argue, for example, that they need some sort of subsidy if they are expected to provide even the "uninsurable" with insurance. Faced with the threatened collapse of the private health-insurance market, leaders in both parties will find some new revenue source to pay for the insurance.
Indeed, we've had a primitive form of national health insurance since 1986, when President Reagan signed the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, which guaranteed everyone access to most hospital emergency rooms, regardless of ability to pay. It's hard to find a Republican who talks about repealing that legislation. Yet to keep hospitals from going bankrupt, Congress set up the Disproportionate Share Hospital program, which provides more than $11 billion a year to support hospital emergency rooms.
Inl reality, no matter which party controls the White House or Congress, anyone who is "on the grid"–that is, visible to the public–is going to get at least some treatment. Not just because we are compassionate, not just because activists with bullhorns can get on TV, but also because we are practical; in a dense-packed society, we want to see minimum standards of public health. Even the most selfish of us don't want people in our midst walking around with TB, whooping cough, or bugs from any number of possible new epidemics.
So what to do? Are we doomed, then, to a costly system that produces lousy outcomes? Liberal critics of the status quo have a point: We have the most expensive healthcare system in the world, and yet healthcare outcomes put us in the middling ranks of the industrialized countries. We might note immediately that a big part of the reason why we don't have the healthcare outcomes of, say, Japan or Finland is that we don't have the population of Japan or Finland. And so, in keeping with the federal government's track record in recent decades, it's unlikely that Obamacare is going to work as advertised, lowering costs and improving outcomes.
We might also note that affluent people like healthcare–they want more of it, not less. Medical treatment is what economists call a "superior good." That is, the higher one's income, the more one wants to consume; according to a 2009 survey from the Kaiser Family Foundation, 67 percent of Americans think that they are not getting enough medical treatment, while only 16 percent think that they are getting too much. Moreover, there's plenty of evidence that those thrifty/healthy countries that American liberals so admire are starting to spend more on healthcare, too. Indeed, they are quite possibly spending their incremental healthcare dollars seeking treatment here in the US.
So back to the question: What is to be done? We might start by reflecting that the past century's worth of debate has been preoccupied by healthcare finance–that is, who pays? During that same century, we have scored major healthcare successes outside of the health-insurance realm, notably the elimination of polio in the 50s and the near-elimination of AIDS as a killer in the 90s. We might note that such breakthroughs make healthcare cheaper, because, after all, healthy people not only don't cost much but also are themselves economically productive. Yet profound breakthroughs against disease have been relatively scarce in recent decades, in large part because the political class has been arguing, instead, about finance.
In fact, the number of new drugs, medical devices, and antibiotics has plummeted over the last two decades, as has the available amount of medical venture capital. In the current environment of predatory trial lawyers, a Naderite FDA, de facto price controls, and zero leadership from the finance-focused political class, it's little wonder that medical researchers and entrepreneurs have migrated into other sectors. It's a lot easier to make money creating a new social network than it is creating a new wonder drug.
So here's an estimable, life-saving, healthcare project for the next hundred years: Let's shift over to the truly cost-curve-bending track of medical advancement. After all, a cure is cheaper than care. And if, as has projected, we're looking at a cumulative cost of Alzheimer's treatment reaching $20 trillion by the middle of this century, we should realize that no envisioned healthcare-finance scheme–public or private, anything less than "death panels"–is going to do much to reduce the inherent cost of 24/7 dementia care for tens of millions of Americans.
For the sake of our health, as well as our fisc, we need to focus on curing disease, as opposed to financing it. That means peeling back the predations of the trial lawyers and streamlining the FDA for starters, but it also means "moon shot" political leadership that mobilizes resources, public and private. It doesn't have to be bureaucrats, whom nobody trusts anymore; it could be some new hybrid organization. Why not an "X-Prize" for curing Alzheimer's, or for helping wounded warriors–and other victims of paralysis–walk again?
This is still a rich country; our annual GDP is $15 trillion. And it's a rich world, too, boasting a total GDP of some $60 trillion. So there's plenty of money to solve big problems, if we genuinely want to solve them. Yet we can start that process only if we traverse from a preoccupation with finance, fiddling with numbers–to a new focus on science, saving lives and saving money.

Driving is supposed to be relatively straightforward. There's a speed limit, you stick to it, there are pedestrians, and you don't run them down.
Common sense usually prevails and if you ever feel a little dazed then the holy road sign should help you on your way.
On the odd occasion however even these beacons of light can be more than just confusing. From the politically incorrect, to the glaringly obvious, here are some of the more bizarre signs you might stumble upon on your next road trip.

Sound Tigers lose in shootout, but their game is better
BRIDGEPORT -- It's progress, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers' 4-3 shootout loss Saturday to Worcester. It's a point in the standings. It's not a win, but it could be a start.
The Bridgeport Sound Tigers' four-game losing streak technically ended at Webster Bank Arena, as the Sound Tigers tied the game twice in the third period to force overtime.
"I thought we just got into our forecheck," Bridgeport coach Scott Pellerin said. "We were able to establish more offensive-zone time. We worked a lot better to support each other in the corners and make plays."
Brock Nelson scored a power-play goal on a scramble with 2:28 remaining to send the game to overtime, where the Sharks killed another penalty.
Tim Kennedy, who twice gave the Sharks a lead, and James Sheppard scored in the shootout, while Harri Sateri stopped all four Bridgeport attempts. The Sound Tigers remain winless in five.
But after the first period, they outshot the Sharks 33-19. They looked a lot more like the team that started the season 10-4 than the one that's 0-4-0-1 since.
"That's the way we play, the way we have to play. There are times we've been inconsistent," said Casey Cizikas, who played the third period on left wing for the first time as a pro.
"I think that was one of our more consistent games. She doesn't always go the way you want."
Attendance was 3,587.
Carrying over from the teams' two meetings in late October, the first period was a fight- and scrap-filled 20 minutes.
The Sharks answered Jon Landry's goal with Freddie Hamilton's tally 11:02 in. Hamilton was left open enough in the left circle to put a shot and two rebounds on Kevin Poulin.
Worcester's celebration spilled into a five-on-five melee in front of the Sharks bench.
Kennedy later put Worcester in front 2-1 with an impossible-angle shot from the left-wing boards. His second goal, from the left faceoff dot, rang off the far post and in with 6:08 to go to make it 3-2.

Earlier in the third, Nino Niederreiter scored on a rush to tie it.
Bridgeport didn't get many clean chances on its overtime power play, though Sateri made a good stop on Cizikas' stuff-in attempt at the right post. Niederreiter found a loose puck in the slot after a broken play, but his shot was blocked.
"Like I told the guys, we're being challenged right now. For whatever reason, we're being challenged," Pellerin said. "It's Game 19. There's a lot of hockey. We've got to learn from it and take the positive situations out of the game."

This activity demonstrates Lenz's Law, which states that an induced electromotive force generates a current that induces a counter magnetic field that opposes the magnetic field generating the current. In the demonstration, an empty aluminum can... (View More) floats on water in a tray, such as a Petri dish. Students spin a magnet just inside the can without touching the can. The can begins to spin. Understanding what happens can be explained in steps: first, the twirling magnet creates an alternating magnetic field. Students can use a nearby compass to observe that the magnetic field is really changing. Second, the changing magnetic field permeates most things around it, including the aluminum can itself. A changing magnetic field will cause an electric current to flow when there is a closed loop of an electrically conducting material. Even though the aluminum can is not magnetic, it is metal and will conduct electricity. So the twirling magnet causes an electrical current to flow in the aluminum can. This is called an "induced current." Third, all electric currents create magnetic fields. So, in essence, the induced electrical current running through the can creates its very own magnetic field, making the aluminum can magnetic. This is activity four of "Exploring Magnetism."

I'm Lenore, one of those
you see on the street or in a shop, wearing a skirt that's just a little
too short,
clothes just a little TOO revealing for where am I, looking at you like all I want is
for you to throw me down and
fuck me right there. That's not too far from the truth.
I like a man who knows what he wants and
goes after it, because I'll do the very same thing. If I want you,
I'll let you know.
So what do I want? A guy
likes to fuck, who's good at it, who doesn't have a lot of hang-ups. I like going down on you and you
going down

over and fuck me from behind. I
like big cocks and guys that know how to use them, and that aren't
intimidated by a toy or two, either. Toys are meant to play with,
after all, just like me.

Why this woman is public enemy number 2
MEET the shoplifter police have dubbed the "Poo Bomber" who creates a huge mess everywhere she goes.
The 42-year-old woman is a self-proclaimed kleptomaniac who also likes to leave a little something behind - unfortunately not payment but a different type of deposit - before running away.
The Sunday Telegraph has agreed not to name the woman because she suffers from a range of mental health conditions.
Experts believe the woman experiences such a rush of adrenaline from shoplifting that she loses control of her bowels.
However, she has left local authorities, including the magistrates at Moss Vale Local Court, wondering how to strike a balance between treating her mental health condition and protecting the community.
Her victims have so far included Best And Less Mittagong, where she stole $173 worth of clothes.
The police fact sheet states the woman "stood still with her legs partially apart between a row of display stands".
"The accused has looked around before shaking her buttocks and flicking part of her dress near the buttock region," the document said.
"It is at this time that the accused has defecated on the shop floor before walking away."
The woman then took "possession of a tea towel" and used it "to wipe her buttocks" before "throwing it under a display stand", the document said.
Another victim included Shop Pharmacy in Campbelltown Mall, where police documents said the woman "went into the squat position" and caused a "dysfunction in aisle three", forcing the shop to close for an hour until it was cleaned up.
When contacted, her lawyer Ben Archbold said she was remorseful and working to improve her behaviour.
"My client has a mental illness and has quite clearly fallen through the cracks of the mental health support available in the community," Mr Archbold said.
"She would be assisted if you just left her alone."
The woman had been put on a 15-month good behaviour bond after pleading guilty to four incidents where the charges included multiple counts of larceny and destroy or damaging property.
But she will be resentenced after breaching those bonds after stealing a drill from Central Coast Leagues Club on May 21.
She pleaded guilty and will be sentenced for that and breaching her good behaviour bonds on the other offences at Moss Vale Local Court in September.
She is also under investigation over an alleged break-in at a display home on the Central Coast.
One police source said there was a theory that the woman had changed her methods and broke into the home because she could steal goods and have access to a functioning toilet.
"We'll never know if she used the facilities because you can't unflush a toilet," the police source said.

There's never been a better time
to apply to Otterbein University.
Apply online today!
This course is an introduction to
key concepts, questions, and analytical tools developed by scholars working in
women's, gender, and sexuality studies across diverse disciplinary fields.
Students will explore the links between sex, gender, and identity, the social
construction of femininities and masculinities, the way that sexed and gendered
identities intersect with racial, class, and national identities, and the
gendered dynamics of power and oppression. As an introduction to the Women's,
Gender, and Sexuality Studies major and minor, this course encourages the
process of questioning—and, often, unlearning— conventional and normative
thinking about sex and gender.
This course will familiarize you
with key contemporary debates in feminist theory and practice, as well as the
historical formation of these debates. Students will explore feminist frameworks
for understanding and complicating subjects as various as female pleasure,
intimacy and power, the "normal" body, reproductive justice, female literacy and
education, women's work inside and outside the home, and structural forms of
violence against women. The course will also examine critical issues that inform
feminist theory and practice: the gendered production of knowledge, the complex
challenges of intersectionality, the transnational feminist project, and the
role of feminist action in the academy and larger world.
Prerequisites: WGSS 1100 (or co-registration with permission).
This course will introduce you to
the pivotal ideas, questions, and modes of inquiry that animate gender and
sexuality studies – as distinct and inter-related fields. Students will explore
the history of gender and sexuality studies, their sociopolitical contexts, and
the rise and relevance of queer and post-queer theories. Thematically, the
course will foreground the ways that gender and sexuality studies re-see a rich
range of topics, including the body, sex, desire, power, identity, violence,
normalization, alternative genders, sexual citizenship, and media images.
Prerequisites: WGSS 1100 and 2001; or permission. With
permission, WGSS 2001 may be waived for those minoring in Women's, Gender, and
Sexuality Studies.
This course will explore the socio-cultural construction of sex and gender categories. Since sex and gender are often "naturalized"—seen as emerging from inborn conditions—part of our process will be unlearning our assumptions as well as learning about the tremendous range of meanings assigned to gender across various societies. By exploring and comparing the definition and performance of gender in different social worlds, students will acquire a theoretical understanding of basic processes of socialization, identity, gendered performance, and cultural change. 4 credit hours Pre requisite ANTH 1000 or permission of the instructor.
Do women have to be naked to get into the Met Museum?" The feminist performance group, Guerrilla Girls, posed this question in 1981 while noting that less than 5% of the artists in the Modern Art sections of the museum were women, while 85% of the nudes were female. Women have been making art for millennia, yet as noted by the Guerrilla Girls' query, their contributions to cultural and intellectual traditions have been often overlooked by mainstream artworld institutions. This class examines the dilemmas and contributions of women working in the practice, theory, and criticism of the visual arts.
This course will examine gender from an evolutionary perspective in both human and non-human animals. We will look at the natural world to critically analyze typical gender stereotypes, and discuss when and if it is appropriate to make connections between human and animal behavior. A variety of hands-on lab activities will be incorporated into the course to actively engage students with the scientific method.
Topical, thematic investigations of the literary arts in women's communities, cultures, and subcultures. Literature is situated in regional, national, transnational, colonial, postcolonial, disaporic, or global contexts; understood as a catalyst for self discovery, communal survival, and political transformation; and explored as a vehicle of imaginative, creative expression. Considers a wide variety of writers and genres; engages contemporary or historical texts; advances intermediate reading and writing skills; devotes one-credit hour to foundational research experiences and information literacy; and includes opportunities to write autobiographically, reflectively, critically, and creatively. Pre-requisite: ENGL 1155 or INST 1500.
Topical, thematic investigations of the literary arts in gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer communities, cultures, and subcultures.

Pre-requisite: ENGL 1155 or INST 1500.
This course provides an introduction to women's history as an historical approach. It explores the lived experiences of a variety of women in different places and times. It also considers how and why definitions of gender roles have changed over time. Particular attention is paid to both women's common experiences and critical factors like race, class, and location that often made their lives quite different.
In 1692, the town of Salem, Massachusetts became the site of the last in a long line of witchcraft scares and trials that swept across the Atlantic world in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This course examines why women and understandings of gender were repeatedly at the heart of these conflicts. It also explores the consequences of this connection between gender and witchcraft
This course examines how Americans have imagined, represented, embodied, used, and resisted different ways of understanding sexuality. Focusing on key historical moments from early America to the present, the course situates sexuality in relationship to constructions of gender, race, and class and explores the connections between sexuality and power.
This course examines the historical and contemporary constructions of gender, race, and class in both media representation and audiences defined in some way by gender, race, and class. Students will also consider industry issues inherent in representation and reception, as well as questions of individual media effects. Throughout the course, you will be asked to reflect on your media use activity and work to deconstruct sexist, racist, and classist messages in media content.
A survey of the history of women and their contributions to the world of music. In addition to learning about the important roles women have played in the development of music, students will also investigate the origins and progression of feminism, explore contemporary feminist philosophy and criticism, and consider the future of this ideal in regards to music and the arts.
This course explores the status and roles that women have played and continue to play in the religions of the world and to historically reconstruct their unrecorded roles. Major texts will be examined in an attempt to recover the lost female voices of the great religious traditions: Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, pagan, ancient, African and other indigenous. This is a polymethodic, interdisciplinary and multitraditional course in which the horizons and perspectives of women's status, role and image in society are expanded. In grappling with the many questions this course will raise, one result may be that of discovering implications for understanding oneself, whether female or male.
This course examines with a consciousness of gender and with an acute awareness of multiple cultures the international myths, goddesses, and heroines that make up the spinning and weaving of our mythological heritage and cultures. We will acquaint ourselves with and gain a broader understanding and appreciation of the power of myth in our world cultures, specifically the role that female-centered mythologies have played in the status and role of women throughout history. Since the goddess can be known only indirectly, we will attempt to find her by observing the different forms she takes in rituals, statues, paintings, hymns, buildings, and, most importantly, myths and stories. As the theistic male god is being challenged more and more in today's scientific world, the attractiveness of recovering the goddess figure as maiden/mother/crone will be examined. An end result will hopefully be that of stretching one's mind about definitions, attributes, and the contributions of myth.
This course introduces students to the scientific study of the psychology of women. Special effort will be made to examine women's development within a multicultural context and to consider the interaction of gender, race, and SES. Students will explore issues related to gender stereotypes, gender differences, gender roles, women's health, sexuality, language, victimization, mental health, abilities, and achievement. Mastery is expected of current research and theoretical models that attempt to explain women's strengths and challenges. The course will be taught as an interactive seminar.
Seminar on the social and cultural norms governing gender relations, forms of sexism in a variety of cultural and social groups explored, and unequal consequences of genderized social expectations. The course will explore changing roles of men and women's sexuality in education, politics, religion, occupations, family life, and guest speakers, films, research and theory will be included. 4 credit hours Prerequisites: SOCL 1000 or permission of the instructor.
Seminar on the diversity of contemporary families including theory and research requirements. The links between families and work, and changing family composition and gender patterns analyzed. Films, speakers for gay lesbian, Asian, Africa American, Arab, etc. may be included. 4 credit hours Prereq: SOCL 1000 or permission of the instructor.
This course examines the varied forms and roles of non-profit organizations to prepare students for work in human and community services. Students focus on organizations that represent the interests of diverse groups of people to achieve social justice and self determination as well as how the persistence of community based efforts creates positive change. The course has theoretical and practical components to allow students to gain field experience while studying critical social theory, research, and films related to community service and community activism.
4 credit hours Prerequisite: ANTH 1000 OR SOCL 1000 and SOCL 1100 or permission of the instructor. Junior standing and MGT 3555 recommended.

Yom Kippur concluded Wednesday night, and although I'm not much of a practicing Jew, I attend the closing service every year.
Yom Kippur concluded Wednesday night, and although I'm not much of a practicing Jew, I attend the closing service every year.
This year I finally discovered why.
Yom Kippur is the Jewish faith's day of atonement. It's like a year's worth of confessions packed into 24 hours of fasting, praying and thinking of how to live a better life.
The service ends at sunset with a section called Ne'ilah, where the congregation is asked to stand throughout. Ne'ilah can last for up to an hour, depending on the congregation.
Fasting and praying makes Yom Kippur feel like a marathon. And the Ne'ilah is like running the last mile uphill. It tests your strength and commitment and can lead to reflection and flashbacks.
My family lived a semi-religious life. My mother was Orthodox. My dad, well, not so much. So they did what all husbands and wives do. They compromised and did it her way.
We kept a kosher home, where meat and dairy products are never mixed. We had meat plates, and meat silverware, dairy plates and dairy silverware. For fancy occasions we had special meat and dairy dishes and silverware.
We went to a fairly strict temple where services were long and mostly in Hebrew. As a child it was tortuous. We'd page through the prayer book to see how long it was until the end of the service.
Years later as a young adult, I was lounging in my parents' apartment, playing hooky from the afternoon Yom Kippur service. I heard a knock on the door. When I opened it, I saw my father standing motionless, staring blankly as drool ran from the corner of his mouth.
We thought it was a combination of fasting and his diabetes, so we fed him immediately. When he didn't respond, we called an ambulance. He'd suffered a minor stroke.
That year my mother and I broke our fast at the emergency room's vending machines.
I continued to spend every Yom Kippur with them until they died.
While cleaning up their apartment after they were gone, I found papers belonging to my mother spread on the coffee table.
They were documents counseling Jewish mothers on how to deal with children, like me, who married out of the religion.
I was surprised. She truly loved my wife and never let on that she struggled with my choices. I spoke to her rabbi about it. He told me in a judgmental way that many Jewish people felt the same as my mother. I was mad. And I stopped attending services.
A few years ago, I returned to the Yom Kippur service I so loved. The magic of the observance came back.
So, on Wednesday night, I stood with the ark open and considered the year past. I recalled the days I walked with my folks to temple. And I thought about those fresh bagels, as many as you could eat, and that first sip of orange juice when we broke fast together.
I realized it wasn't just spiritual refreshment — I went to the service to be closer to the memory of my mother and father.

Here's what I know:
- an event called BritRuby was going to be held in Manchester
- it was cancelled because they had an all-male speaker list and sponsors pulled out after a social media outcry
The problem here is event organisers who by their own admission have done this in their spare time, cannot invest their own cash but are heartily committed to making it happen.
A great and detailed blog about the specific issues is written here and largely I concur.
What I would like to add to the discussion is that, regardless of the big discussions about gender equality and the echo-chamber fury of twitter, people who decide to put on developer community events need to do so with their eyes wide open.
Conferences and events never make money and rarely break even. Sponsors are hard work to get and even harder work to retain and satisfy – indeed you can spend all of their money delivering on their expectations from the event.
I would like to think that in planning and running such an event, the organisers were doing so because they believed in what it was going to achieve, the benefit to the community, to themselves and our position in Britain on the geek world stage.
By cancelling this because the sponsors pulled out and they were not in a position to underwrite it themselves, they shot themselves in the foot – either that or they got what they wanted: a lot of sympathy and lively debate.
But for me it seems dramatic and ill-thought-through, and they do not have my sympathy.
In an odd parallel I had to seriously consider postponing Young Rewired State Scotland last week, as I had failed to secure even one sponsor. I used twitter to share my conundrum and by the end of that day I had a sponsor, for a fraction of the amount I need to raise, but some money – and so I will find a way to run the event for the money I now have. (Of course I would like to raise more but if I can't – I am not going to cancel it, but I will postpone it or 'borrow' money from another event that I can get sponsored more easily).
Postponement is the answer – cancellation is not.
But the issue here was not a lack of cash, well it became a lack of cash, as a direct result of an oversight on behalf of the organisers to not having a diverse enough panel of speakers.
The blog post that was put out to explain why they had decided to bin the whole thing smacked of belligerence, a refusal to accept any blame – first twitter and then the sponsors/lack of cash forced their hand – when actually it was that they did not react appropriately to a twitter storm over a rather explosive subject.
I run events for a living, events with the developer community and sponsors and I can tell you it is a full-time job and not something to do in your spare time or as a bit of fun. It takes a hell of a lot of organisation and community building, and yes that includes twitter, and the – often strongly held – feelings of the people you are hoping will attend. This is a fact that cannot be ignored.
Built into the costs of your event that you attracted sponsorship for should have been time and maybe someone who could work on it full-time, addressing issues as they arise and dealing with them appropriately. You can't shout at your social community for feeling strongly.
During Young Rewired State, every year, I spend the week and time ahead of it addressing issues raised over social media or in person, I have to think fast, react quickly and find a solution that does not risk the greater good of the thing that I am actually trying to do.
The problem here is people trying to run things on a shoestring, having no time and to some extent no courage of conviction that they will work to defend to the end – believing that they can do this without cost to themselves.
This event is doable without sponsors, it just needs to now be crowdsourced funds, that will depend on a certain amount of investment in creating ROI for people and can be scaled up or down according to the money available. Perhaps finding free venues, offers of food, volunteers, all of this could be found, but it would take more time-investment from the organisers to achieve.
And yes, if a large group of people are cross about something – get their help to resolve it. Would it have hurt to have asked the community to suggest some additional speakers?
