Supplemental- Identifying and Evaluating Miracles of God- Dale's Intro Speech
This Sat Dec 21st will be the ultimate show down on Miracles of God. That said, that is David's show and so I will mostly be a reactive puppet to his plans for the show and won't have time to give my full case. Thus, I wanted to provide my opening case in my own words in a solo show- How does one go about Identifying and Evaluating Miracles of God in general. I argue that the Specified Complexity" criteria of Intelligent Design proponent Dr. William Dembski is the key. Plus, I give my brief take on modern Miracle Healings specifically as requested by the Skeptic.
December 18, 2019

In Part 1 of this series on Jesus Mythicism, I evaluate the evidence from 4-5 ancient historians; Thallus & Phlegon, Cornelius Tacitus, Suetonius and Flavius Josephus to see if they can provide positive proof that an historical Jesus probably did exist.

Scientist, immunologist and fellow Christian Dr. Kelly Kearse, joins the show to discuss the nature of the Shroud's bloodstains in relation to its authenticity and possible image-formation mechanisms (supernatural vs. natural).

In Part 8, we finish our analysis of the traditional "Painting Hypothesis" as the image-forming mechanism of the Shroud of Turin (as advocated by Dr. Walter McCrone). I want you up front, this episode was not my favorite to do as it can get very technical at times (as is necessitated by the specific subject matter), so be aware this is heavier episode content wise and hence why I chose to separate this issue from Part 7 to be in a show by itself.

Lisa kicks us off with thoughts about African-American agnosticism. I wasn't really trying to spend 30 minutes talking about it. It just happened. We got this amazing video from listener Even Davids: Even points out the incongruity of evolution and Christianity. Sure, I spent an hour debating this with Dale.

Episode 8: Round Table with Skeptics and Seekers and Ask an Atheist Anything

Matthew is one of the authors of the response book, "Still Unbelievable: why after listening to Christian arguments, we remain skeptics" reasonpress.net Dale agreed to be the official cat herder. As the resident (though not quite tamed) Christian, he had a few questions for the grilling. We rambled, we joked, we gave him a hard time. Then, we hit record. And it went downhill from there. Enjoy.
August 27, 2018

Kappa Alpha Theta is known as a leading women's group; our ideas and programs have often been on the cutting edge. "Leader" is not a title conferred or an office held; as individuals and as chapters, Thetas are known for leading in our communities and on our campuses.
The first women admitted to Phi Beta Kappa were Thetas.
The first women's fraternity to establish a chapter in Canada was Kappa Alpha Theta.
Nancy Kassebaum, Kappa/Kansas, was the first woman to chair a major United States Senate committee, the Committee on Labor and Human Resources.
Adelaide MacDonald Sinclair, Sigma/Toronto, was the first Canadian delegate to the United Nations.
Julia Morgan, Omega/UC Berkeley, was the first woman to study architecture at and graduate from the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, then the premier school of architecture in the world, as well as the first woman licensed as an architect in California.
Marie-Claire Kirkland Strover, Beta Psi/McGill, was the first woman elected to the National Assembly of Quebec, the first woman appointed a cabinet minister in Quebec, the first woman appointed acting premier, and the first female judge to serve in the Quebec Provincial Court.
Dian Fossey, Gamma Xi/San Jose State, was the world's first female primatologist.
Theta was the first women's Greek organization established at four Ivy League universities (Cornell, Princeton, Yale, and Harvard), as well as at Michigan, Vanderbilt, Baylor, Stanford, and many other schools.
Theta Today
Theta has more than 130
college chapters
at colleges and universities across the U.S. and Canada.
Theta has close to 200
alumnae chapters and groups.
Theta has more than 250,000 total initiated members.

The Fraternity is a not-for-profit Indiana corporation with
Kappa Alpha Theta Headquarters
in Indianapolis, Ind.
Tagline: Leading Women
Membership in Kappa Alpha Theta leads women into a life of friends, experiences, and goals that they might not have had otherwise. Being a Theta leads a woman to personal excellence, offering her ways to become her best self. Our ritual, in fact, commands us to be nobler women, to lead ourselves to personal excellence and to lead others there as well. It commands us to set the bar high.
And when Thetas model personal excellence, we not only have the chance to lead on our campuses, in our communities, and in our professions, but we also have the chance to effect real change. Just as Bettie, Hannah, Alice, and Bettie did.

Small town entertainment
The West Kentucky State Fair is in progress at the Hopkinsville fairgrounds, and one of the attractions is a series of beauty contests. It includes several pageants for babies and little children.
All week, at the store where I work, moms and their little children have been shopping for pageant clothes.
Some of the moms brought along friends, grandmothers, and aunts as consultants. In a few cases, the group was becoming very frustrated. They had visited many stores, and they still didn't have a suitable set of clothes.
One mom who came in tonight was cool and calm. She already had some shorts for her little boy. She bought them several months ago. She was just looking for a cute little shirt. Long pants and neckties never win, she told me.
This is her son's third pageant. He's three years old. He hasn't won yet, but his mom enjoys seeing him in the competition. "Sometimes you wonder, 'Why didn't my kid win?'" she explained. "But let's be honest -- they're all cute babies."
Her words suggest a good interpretation of the baby pageant. At our fair, we have this year's best tomatoes and biggest zucchinis. We have the prettiest cakes and quilts and rabbits and chickens. And we also have an exhibition of cute babies. I hope all the moms can calm down, let go of the competition, and just enjoy the show.

How To Do Simple Face Clean-up at Home
Hello Gorgeous Ladies,
Today, I will be writing about face clean-up technique that I follow at home and which I adhere to. This procedure of face clean-up suits my skin type as I use all the products which are tried and tested on my skin and which do not harm/discolor or tend to breakout my skin. I have combination skin with an excessive oily T-zone and my skin is acne-prone 🙁 Hence, I prefer to use products which do not have any harmful chemicals or complex substances. This isn't any fancy clean-up, just a few simple steps for a healthy-looking supple skin. So, let's get started on the products used and steps to be followed.
Things you will need:
- Cleanser/face wash which suits your skin.
- Cleansing milk/foam.
- Facial Sauna for steam. You can even do without this and can simply use a utensil filled with water and heat it to produce steam.
- Facial scrub.
- Honey.
- A face mask suitable for your skin type.
- Toner.
- Moisturizer.
- Under eye cream (if you prefer to use it or you can skip it).
- Ice.
- Rose water.
This face cleanup can be customized according to an individual's needs or skin type. I am penning down the method which suits my skin. Here is the list of products I use for this cleanup regimen:
- Cetaphil cleansing lotion.
- Ayur herbal deep pore cleansing milk.
- Lotus white glow oatmeal and yoghurt scrub.
- Dabur Honey.
- Himalaya almond and cucumber peel off mask.
- Garnier light daily moisturizer with SPF 15.
- Neutrogena Fine Fairness Toner.
- Himalaya under eye cream.
Now, that we know what all we need, the procedure is simple and the end result is amazing.
Steps For Clean-Up:
- Wash face thoroughly with a facial cleanser or face wash of your choice and pat the skin dry with a soft napkin.
- Take generous quantity of cleaning milk or lotion on a cotton pad and wipe the face to remove any dirt particles and to unclog the pores.
- Steam your face for as long as your skin can sustain and then gently wipe the face with a facial tissue.
- Take a clean bobby pin and use the end to remove any blackheads on the face. Make sure you do not squeeze any pimple and be very gentle while doing this. If you are not sure how to do it, it's better to skip this step rather than subjecting the face to marks or even more breakouts.
- Again, wipe your face with a clean napkin. Now, take an ice cube and gently massage it on the face in circular movements. This will help tighten the pores which have opened up due to the steam and will also bring back the skin temperature to normal.
- Take a generous amount of any facial scrub you like and gently exfoliate the face in circular movements. Continue to exfoliate for about 8-10 minutes till the scrub dries out a little.

West Allis police officer dies after delivering twins
Stacie Napoli was 17-year veteran with force
West Allis police said one of their detectives died unexpectedly Monday.
Police Chief Charles Padgett said Detective Stacie Napoli, 39, died Monday due to complications from childbirth.
VIDEO: West Allis police officer dies unexpectedly after giving birth to twins
West Allis police Lt. Jessica Johnson and fellow officers are wearing a black band over their badges in honor of Napoli.
Johnson said becoming a mother was something Napoli always wanted.
"When Stacie and her husband got pregnant, we were all very, very excited for her, and it was very much family oriented, and we were with her every step of the way and with the ultrasound pictures that came home, and obviously, when we found out she was having twins we were ecstatic," Johnson said.
The twins, a girl and a boy are doing fine. Napoli developed complications shortly after delivering by cesarean section and died. Friends have taken to social media to help raise money for the family.
"My wife and I talked at breakfast this morning and just decided that we should contribute," said Kyle Courtier, owner of the Crossfit gym in West Allis.
Many of Napoli's fellow officers work out there. Her death hit close to home for him.
"My wife is, actually we're expecting right now. She is pregnant, you know, so it hit home, that's another reason," Courtier said.
Courtier also served in the armed forces. He and Napoli did tours in Iraq. In West Allis, Napoli spent 17 years on the force, mostly in sensitive crimes.
"Her job was protecting children, and she did everything she could to protect her two children and ultimately, she paid the ultimate sacrifice for that," Johnson said.
An online fund has been set up for donations to the family. Click here for more information.
Checks can also be sent to:
West Allis Police Department
C/O Captain Steve Beyer
11301 W. Lincoln Ave.
West Allis, WI 53227
Checks should be made payable to: Community Improvement Foundation. In the memo area, please write: In memory of Stacie Napoli.
When a high school friend of Napoli's husband heard about what happened, he launched a donation website to help the family out.
"When it hits home, somebody you know that close, has something tragic like that happen, I don't think you even think, you just do and so I just sprung into action," said Gavin Walwork, who started the donation website.
As of 10 p.m. Tuesday night, nearly $29,400 had been raised. Their goal is $50,000.
Funeral arrangements have not yet been finalized.

2012 was anything but a run-of-the-mill year for Radamel Falcao, with the Atletico Madrid and Colombia striker making full use of his vast armoury of penalty-area expertise to become, according to both the media and his fellow professionals, one of the most-feared goal-getters on planet football. Solid proof of that statement came with his inclusion in the FIFA/FIFPro World XI for 2012, announced at the recent FIFA Ballon d'Or Gala on 7 January in Zurich.
The prolific 26-year-old was still clearly thrilled by the news, as he told FIFA.com: "Being involved in an event like this is a very positive experience for my life and my career. It means a lot to get recognition for all the work I've put in throughout the year."
What's more, Falcao can also point to being the only member of the select XI not on the books of Real Madrid or Barcelona. Over the course of the year, the man nicknamed El Tigre grabbed decisive goals in Atleti's triumphs in both the UEFA Europa League and UEFA Super Cup. In addition, he has helped Los Colchoneros become *Barça's *closest La Liga challengers so far in 2012/13 and his country to stay on track for a place at the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™.
"This year has represented a significant step forward for me," said the River Plate youth product. "It's been the kind of year that gets your name out there and helps you earn a place among the elite."
I'm really at home with Atletico. I'm sure that I'll taste life in another league at some point in my career, but right now I'm only thinking about my club, in growing as a player and doing my bit to help us keep winning trophies.
Indeed, Falcao's name has become synonymous with goals, be they via his head or either foot, and the player Atletico signed from Porto has found a remarkable balance of quality and quantity.
"I've scored some lovely goals in 2012, it's true," he told us with a grin. "It's hard to just pick one."
Also included in the final three for the FIFA Puskás Award 2012, thanks to a spectacular scissor-kick effort in a friendly against America de Cali, Falcao actually preferred to highlight two fine goals both struck with his less favoured left foot.
"I'd say two of the most eye-catching were my first goal against Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League final in Bucharest and one I scored against Valencia in the semi-finals," said El Tigre. "That said, it's hard to pick to be honest because fortunately there've been so many!"
Champions League objectiveHaving continued his achievement of consistently increasing his calendar-year total goal tally, Falcao is now keen to put a glorious 2012 behind him and focus on the challenges ahead at club level.
"We're aware that it'll be tough to claw back the lead Barcelona have, though as long as there's still a mathematical chance we'll keep on fighting," he said. "Our main objective is securing a place in the Champions League. We're very clear on that."
Though nearly half the league campaign remains, El Tigre believes that "it's hard to compete because of the budget some of Spain's most powerful teams have. They've got the best players in the world, while we're just gradually growing stronger as a team."
Such a statement begs the question: does he see himself one day moving to a team able to aim higher than Atleti?
"I'm really at home with Atletico and I'm still under contract here," he said with conviction. "I'm sure that I'll taste life in another league at some point in my career, but right now I'm only thinking about my club, in growing as a player and doing my bit to help us keep winning trophies."
Pibe praiseThough he left Colombia when still a youngster, Falcao has by no means forgotten his roots and makes frequent visits back to his homeland. However, his goals for club and country and his rising profile have catapulted him to rock-star status, with Cafetero legend Carlos Valderrama stating his belief Falcao will one day surpass the esteem even he is held in.
"I realise that everything's changed, I'm aware of the media coverage I've had in recent years and what I mean to my people," said Falcao somewhat self-consciously. "Whenever I can I try to give of myself and be approachable, though sometimes it's just not possible. When big crowds gather, things can get complicated."
When quizzed about Valderrama's claims, Falcao responded with pride but without wishing to get ahead of himself: "El Pibe is the greatest idol of all of us in Colombia. We grew up admiring him and we still do.
"Let's hope that us future generations can contribute a lot more and achieve even more than he did, because that'd definitely be good for the country. But [whatever happens], every Colombian football player will always remember him."
The moment arrives to part ways and Falcao, on the back of his inclusion among the world's very finest players, underlined his determination not to rest on the laurels of a fabulous 2012: "Now's the moment to keep competing just as hard, keep growing as a player and continue proving what I've shown so far. That's what matters and it's what I'm hoping from this year: to stay among the European elite."

One of my favorite movies is Pacific Rim, the story of humanity coming together to fight aliens from another dimension. These aliens are fought via giant robots called Jaegers, and the successful operation of a Jaeger requires absolute cooperation between its two pilots. The premise sounds rather grandiose, and it is, but the movie also has quite a bit of heart and features an amazing female protagonist named Mako Mori. The film's director, Guillermo del Toro, recently announced that a sequel will be made, and while there are still a few years before the movie is released, I have been thinking about what I'd like to see out of the second installment of Pacific Rim.
1. More women!
Although Pacific Rim is ostensibly Mako's story, to me there is a huge hole missing in that story, and that is the overall lack of women in the movie. Mako often seems to be alone in a sea of men, although a close viewing of the movie reveals that there are often women in the background of the Shatterdome, the epicenter of action in the movie. We do not know any of these women's stories, not even that of the only other female Jaeger pilot shown on-screen (Sasha Kaidanovsky). Del Toro has shown an aptitude for creating strong women characters, and it's time he added a few more to the Pacific Rim roster.
2. No compromises with Mako.
Speaking of Mako, she is one of the many reasons I enjoy Pacific Rim as she is one of the best female movie characters to come along in a long time. There is a good deal of plot devoted to her developing relationship with her co-pilot Raleigh, and while the movie could have ended with a totally cliche kiss, thus sealing their fate as romantic partners, the movie's ending actually left their status somewhat open-ended. Del Toro did this intentionally: he has said in interviews that,
"I wanted to show that men and women can be friends without having a relationship. [Mako and Raleigh's] story [is] about partnership, equality and a strong bond between partners. It's important for little girls to know not every story has to be a love story and for boys to know that soldiers aren't the only ones to triumph in war."
I have faith that even if Mako and Raleigh become a de facto couple, del Toro will keep Mako at the forefront of the story and not relegate her to being silent love interest.
3. Vanessa Gottlieb.
Vanessa is not mentioned in the movie, but we know from the movie's novelization that the scientist Hermann Gottlieb is married to a woman named Vanessa and that she is pregnant during the events of the first film. Moreover, Travis Beacham, who helped co-write the movie, confirmed on tumblr that Vanessa is mixed race and also a model. A popular fan theory for Vanessa is that she is a prosthetics model, which goes well with Hermann's PWD* status. Aside from these few details, Vanessa is essentially a blank slate. Personally, I like to think she is a strong, confident woman, and I think she would make an excellent addition to the cast.
4. GLBT characters.
Another reason I love Pacific Rim so much is the diversity of the characters. Okay, I've established that there could stand to be more women, but otherwise the movie is wonderfully diverse in terms of its Jaeger pilot teams and crews. In the movie, there is on-screen representation from the U.S., China, Russia and Australia, and we know from supplemental material that there are many more teams from countries all around the, ahem, Pacific Rim. Racial and ethnic diversity is all very good, but as a queer chick I would like to see some GLBT Jaeger pilots. Representation matters, and there's no reason a queer character can't be included or be an important part of the story.

This is a downstream E-blocks peripheral module, designed to be controlled by one of the upstream E-blocks processing boards which are available in a variety of MCU/CPLD architectures.
This E-block contains a small, 29 by 10 hole solderless prototype board for developing circuits and projects. Connectors for two E-block ports allow prototype wires and leads to be connected to the rows and columns on the prototype board. A small dedicated wire patch area allows more awkward components, like potentiometers and switches, to be soldered to the circuit board itself.
E-Blocks can be put together to form a variety of systems that can be used for teaching and learning electronics, and for the rapid prototyping of complex electronic systems.
Each E-Block has one or more 9-way D-type connectors that provide up to eight input/output lines and a ground line. These D-type connectors allow connection between E-Blocks to be made in buses of multiples of 8 lines, just like a real electronic system. Power is routed separately to those E-Blocks that need it.
Processing E-Blocks based on PIC, dsPIC, ARM or AVR microcontrollers control the whole E-Blocks system. Processing E-Blocks provide up to five input/output ports with up to eight lines per port.
Please see the E-Blocks Category for a list of available components. For more details on E-Blocks, see the E-Blocks User Guide (in English, French, German and Spanish) or watch the Introduction to E-Blocks video.

korean spicy patties with hobak namul
note | i submitted this recipe in the 'discover korea's delicious secret'. i was thrilled when there was a competition that combined both my loves together :: food and super junior :) incidentally, i was also exploring korean food in the past few months so it was perfect! wish me luck. i'd love to win! :D
i love korean food.. a lot. i have my favorites and one of my favorite dishes to get a korean restaurants is the spicy marinated pork a.k.a daeji bulgogi / daeji bokkeum { 돼지불고기 / 돼지벆음}. it is one of korea's popular meat dishes where thinly sliced pork loin is marinated in a special blend of red pepper paste with a mix of vegetables. the base of the marinade is gochujang{고추장} which is a savory fermented korean paste made of red chillies, glutinous rice, fermented soybeans and salt which imparts spicy, savory flavor to the dish. that is what i love about it ~ spicy and savory. ^^
this korean spicy patties recipe is an ode to the daeji bulgogi where patties of a mix of ground pork and beef takes on the flavors and marinade of daeji bulgogi. inspired by the tteok galbi recipe i found on aeri's kitchen blog, i came up with my own variation of the dish. i serve it with a side of hobak namul {호박나물} which is considered as a korean side dish (ban chan {반찬}). hobak namul translates to green and golden thread zucchini salad and is perfect to mellow the spiciness of these tasty fiery patties.
what i love about this dish is its versatility. it goes deliciously well with rice or between two slices of bread with a slather of mayonnaise to make it into a korean inspired sandwich/burger slider or even be made into an appetizer on its own. it's very simple and doesn't take long to make.
it was quite the pain having to constantly take step-by-step instagrams since i was working with raw meat (washing hands constantly) but well worth it cos photo collage is the most interesting way to tell a story :)
i decided to use a 50/50 ratio of ground pork and beef mixture for a tastier combination of meat flavor while the ground beef (i used 80/20 ground beef) gives the much needed fat for the leaner ground pork to keep the patties moist. if you'd prefer one or the other, you can always opt to just use one type of ground meat.
instagram-ed :: hobak namul (green and golden thread zucchini salad)
since this dish required me to julienne the vegetables, i used a mandolin (i got as a birthday present two years ago) for the first time. love this gadget but good gracious, one word of caution - be extremely careful cos i hurt myself on the knuckles in the process >.< i call them battle scars so it's all good. but damn you, carrot.
verdict | it was really delicious. the heat and spiciness coupled with the sweetness of the marinade make these patties addictive. the roughly chopped shallots and green onions in the patties gave it that textural difference and color. i would call these patties packed with flavor and it goes very well with the zucchini salad ('pats self on back for pairing these two together' hehehe ^^) if you're concerned about it being too spicy, omit the red chillies in the recipe and use a milder gochujang (i used #4 since i loveeeeee spicy food).
to serve this dish, i place the warm patties on a bed of chilled hobak namul (i left it in the fridge for 30 minute or so) for the temperature contrast. the refreshing salad cools the sweet heat from the these korean spicy patties. i just love how colorful this dish is with the red chillies and green onions running through the patties, which rests atop a vibrant salad.
these are the recipes if you wanna try making these patties of deliciousness:

korean spicy patties
ingredients |
- 1/2 lb ground pork
- 1/2 lb ground beef (sirloin or a beef cut with some fat)
- 4 medium shallots (or 1/2 medium onion)
- 3 stalks of green onion
- 2 red chillies (optional)
- 3 tbs red pepper paste :: gochujang {고추장}
- 1 tbs korean red chilli pepper flakes :: gochugaru {고추가루}
- 2 tbs soy sauce
- 2 tbs rice wine
- 1.5 tbs sugar
- 1 tbs honey
- 1 tbs sesame oil
- 1 tbs minced garlic
- 1 tbs grated ginger
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
directions |
- mix both of the ground meats together in a large bowl.
- chop 2 of the medium shallots (or quarter of a medium onion), green onions and chillies. you can leave out the red chillies if you are concerned that it might be too spicy for your liking.
- grate the rest of the shallots. combine all the shallots (both chopped and grated), green onions and chillies with the mixture of ground meat. mix them slightly and gently. set aside
- in a separate bowl, combine all the ingredients for the marinade. mix thoroughly before adding it to the meat-vegetable mixture.
- adding the marinade to the meat mixture, knead all the ingredients gently but thoroughly (for about 2 minutes). however, you do not want to overwork the meat mixture (it may get tough if you do so) so you should stop once you have a homogenous mixture.
- place a plastic wrap over the bowl and leave it in the refrigerator to marinade for about 20 minutes to an hour (at least half an hour)
- after marination, take the amount of a golf ball size and shape the meat mixture into a ball. then, slightly flatten it to create patties.
- space the patties out on a non-stick pan ( you do not need to oil the pan) on medium heat. do not overcrowd the pan so work in batches if you have to. it is important to not cook it at high temperatures because the patties will burn rather easily without the middle of the patties cooked through.
- once the juices come out of the meat, flip it over. i refrain from pressing the patties with a spatula since that would force the juices out and make them less moist. reduce the temperature to medium low.
- flip them once or twice more and fry them until both sides are nicely browned. if there is a bit of char on the outside, that is to be expected since the sugar in the marinade caramelizes.
- make sure the patties are cooked through in the middle (about 10-12 minutes) but check the doneness through the patties to make sure it isn't raw. patience is definitely key here, so be sure to be frying them at lower temperatures.

Amy Childs, star of reality TV smash hit The Only Way is Essex, has sensationally quit the show after thirteen years to focus on further academic achievement. She will hand in a PhD dissertation in the second half of 2013 on modern social anthropology, adding to her already impressive bounty of masters degrees in the fields of psychology and biological sciences.
The 39 year old, who has long held claim to the largest pair of breasts in the show's twenty year existence, joined the Essex-based program in the middle of 1998, around the time of her completing her first masters degree at the university of Bath, at which she was also the Student Union vice president.
Miss Childs has portrayed herself on television as something of an entreprenuer, managing a profitable hair boutique in a trendy part of Chigwell ever since earning the start-up funds through careful investments that paid off during the first dot com boom. Set to open her eighth branch next year, she has used the profits to fund her education and to set up the independent Amy Childs Alztheimer's Research Institution in South End, now in its second year.
Many of the cast have become close friends, and sometimes fuck partners, with Miss Childs.
Mark Wright, who plays Tanned Bloke 03, said: 'I'm well happy for her. I'm proper chuffed mate.'
'She showed me one of her text books once. Fackin' hell guv, I was like you 'avin' a giraffe sunshine etc.'
Modest Childs, who has seen her academic work published in all major scientific journals, is planning a low-key send off to mark her final appearance in the show in September. She will attend private parties in eighteen top night clubs in central London and three in Manchester, and will invite a plethora of celebrity guests and superstar disc jockeys such as Timmy Mallett, along to enjoy the fun.

Salaam and Greetings of Peace:
It has been said that everything in the Old Testament can be found in the New Testament, and that everything in the Old and New Testament can be found in the Qur'an. And the Qur'an defines and sets the standards of social and moral values for Muslims.
In the 17th chapter, "Al-Israa" ("The Night Journey"), verses 17:22, the Qur'an provides a set of moral stipulations which are "among the (precepts of) wisdom, which thy Lord has revealed to thee" that can be reasonably categorized as ten in number. These resemble the Ten Commandments handed down by God to Moses, and represents the fullest statement of the code of behavior every Muslim must follow. However, these verses are not regarded by Islamic scholars as set apart from any other moral stipulations in the Qur'an, nor are they regarded as a substitute, replacement, or abrogation of some other set of commandments as found in the previous revelations.
Both sets of commandments are below, their similarities expressing the common origin of the three religions, all descendant from the Prophet Abraham, the "People of the Book." And because they have become standards of social and moral conduct for almost half the population of the earth, are worth remembering.
The Ten Commandments (Qur'an 17:22-37)
1. Worship only God: Take not with Allah another object of worship; or thou (O man!) wilt sit in disgrace and destitution. (Qur'an 17:22)
2. Be kind, honorable and humble to one's parents: Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honor. (Qur'an 17:23) And, out of kindness, lower to them the wing of humility, and say: "My Lord! bestow on them thy Mercy even as they cherished me in childhood." (Qur'an 17:24)
3. Be neither miserly nor wasteful in one's expenditure: And render to the kindred their due rights, as (also) to those in want, and to the wayfarer: But squander not (your wealth) in the manner of a spendthrift. (Qur'an 17:26) Verily spendthrifts are brothers of the Evil Ones; and the Evil One is to his Lord (himself) ungrateful. (Qur'an 17:27) And even if thou hast to turn away from them in pursuit of the Mercy from thy Lord which thou dost expect, yet speak to them a word of easy kindness. (Qur'an 17:28) Make not thy hand tied (like a niggard's) to thy neck, nor stretch it forth to its utmost reach, so that thou become blameworthy and destitute. (Qur;an 17:29
4. Do not engage in 'mercy killings' for fear of starvation: Kill not your children for fear of want: We shall provide sustenance for them as well as for you. Verily the killing of them is a great sin. (Qur'an 17:31)
5. Do not commit adultery: Nor come nigh to adultery: for it is a shameful (deed) and an evil, opening the road (to other evils). (Qur'an 17:32)
6. Do not kill unjustly: Nor take life – which Allah has made sacred – except for just cause. And if anyone is slain wrongfully, we have given his heir authority (to demand qisas or to forgive): but let him not exceed bounds in the matter of taking life; for he is helped (by the Law). (Qur'an 17:33)
7. Care for orphaned children: Come not nigh to the orphan's property except to improve it, until he attains the age of full strength… (Qur'an 17:34)
8. Keep one's promises: …fulfill (every) engagement [i.e. promise/covenant], for (every) engagement will be enquired into (on the Day of Reckoning). (Qur'an 17:34)
9. Be honest and fair in one's interactions: Give full measure when ye measure, and weigh with a balance that is straight: that is the most fitting and the most advantageous in the final determination. (Qur'an 17:35)
10. Do not be arrogant in one's claims or beliefs: And pursue not that of which thou hast no knowledge; for every act of hearing, or of seeing or of (feeling in) the heart will be enquired into (on the Day of Reckoning). (Qur'an 17:36) Nor walk on the earth with insolence: for thou canst not rend the earth asunder, nor reach the mountains in height. (Qu'ran 17:37)
The Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:2-17)
1 "I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.
2 "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments.
3 "You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
4 "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God.
5 "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
6 "You shall not murder.
7 "You shall not commit adultery.
8 "You shall not steal.
9 "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10 "You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's."
Ya Haqq!

The New Zealand Ministry of Defense has agreed to buy 10 SH-2G Super Seasprites from Kaman Aircraft Corp. According to Kaman, the $120-million contract includes spare parts, a full mission flight simulator and related logistics support for the multi-mission helicopter. New Zealand is scheduled to begin taking delivery of the helicopters beginning later this year. The SH-2G is currently in operation with the Royal New Zealand Navy, along with the Egyptian Air Force and Polish Navy. Kaman started the H-2 Seasprite program in the late 1950s, flying for number of years before retiring them in June 2001.

Upper Norrland
Earth : Europe : Scandinavia : Sweden : Norrland : Upper Norrland
Upper Norrland, Övre Norrland, is a division of the Norrland region in Sweden. It contains the coastal provinces Västerbotten and Norrbotten, as well as inland province Lappland. Its administration is divided between Norrbotten County (containing the Swedish Arctic) and Västerbotten County.
Other destinations[edit]
Lapland is the traditional homeland of the Sami people, and the Torne Valley at the Finnish border is traditionally Finnish homeland. Around 1900, a new wave of Swedish settlers arrived, as mining and hydroelectric power came to dominate the economy. Later years have seen the rise of tourism and space flight.
The Sami traditionally speak their own language, of the Finno-Ugric family, with several dialects, though Swedish has become dominant.
In Piteå, Skellefteå and some other towns, archaic Norse dialects known as bondska are still alive, nearly as different from Swedish as Swedish is from English.
Get in[edit]
Get around[edit]
The connex train can be used for some connexions inside Norrland. There are also some bus services, e.g. from Kiruna to Nikkaluokta, close to the Kebnekaise fjällstation. Car rental will often be the only solution for getting to some remote places, assuming there even is a road to get there. In winter, snowmobiles are very popular, and cross-country skiing as well as dogsled are other options.
See[edit][add listing]
Norrland will be of interest primarily to nature lovers, and hikers will find there the only remaining area of true wilderness in Europe. But the mines of Kiruna or the ice hotel are other points of interest.
Do[edit][add listing]

Benjamin Britten famously said that he would sometimes play "the whole of Brahms" (whatever that means) just to remind himself how bad it was. Britten was an arse bandit. Perhaps this explains Peter Pears' strangulated voice.
I also remember a quote by Ken Russell that Brahms' music reminded him of Victorian sepia photographs.
It's interesting that most people associate Brahms with his chamber and orchestral works, when around three-quarters of his output includes voices. Many, many songs (countless treasures in there), numerous works for multiple solo voices and instruments, and much for choir (Brahms conducted several choirs through the course of his lifetime) and choir and orchestra.
I tend to believe that the problem with a lot of Brahms performance lies not so much with the use of vibrato, larger orchestras, modern pianos, or whatever (all of which Brahms experienced on occasion), but the approaches to phrasing and articulation – already problematic in editions appearing soon after his death (for example those of the piano music by Sauer) which tend to smooth out the many very subtle details Brahms notated, and replace his sometimes fragmentary and delicate approach to the balance between small-scale units and longer lines with a rather homogenous approach stressing maximum continuity.
The rests are very important (Brahms took immense care over them when preparing editions); many pedal markings in others' editions of the piano music make little sense, nor do some conductors' attempts to artificially make contrasting fragments cohere into a continuous whole, negating some of the inner tensions.
There are indeed some composers whose work is more likely than that of others to invite extreme reactions, although I would not immediately single out Brahms as a particularly notable example, for all that there are some for whom he could do no wrong and others who detest much of his work – in other words, I'm less than convinced that these extreme positions vis-à-vis Brahms are especially common. Britten's loathing of Brahms, whilst well known, was by no means universal; he had, for example, a lot of time for the D minor piano concerto. I happen to think it's dull.
Delius strikes me as one example of a composer whose work tends to elicit mostly very positive or very negative responses; Havergal Brian is another. Why it is that certain composers' works more often than not tend to attract these extreme reactions is quite another matter.
Speaking personally, I love Brahms' music.

Fancy her todays Indiana Jones.
Armed with computer skills instead of a whip, Eugene McDermott Scholars Program alumna and geosciences graduate student Emily Hinz mixes in just a dash of archaeology to flavor her thesis and masters degree in geophysics.
And while she may not be looking for the holy grail, she is using geological surveys to study the earths physical properties and identify artifacts.
Archaeology is really just one specific application of near-surface geophysics, Emily said.
Emily is a research assistant to Professor John Ferguson, head of the Department of Geosciences. She is using data gathered during the Summer of Applied Geophysical Experience (SAGE) field camp a consortium of academic geophysicists and the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at Los Alamos National Laboratory to support her thesis. Ferguson is a founder of the field camp and also advises Emily on her thesis.
All of the geophysical analysis will hopefully lead to a few papers, in particular, on near-surface refraction and its application to archaeology. This is what my thesis will be on, she said.
Emily describes the SAGE data, saying there were two main field sites: a shallow environmental or archaeological site consisting of man-made targets, such as pottery shards and other discarded items, and a deeper geologic site to study geological layers and features associated with the Rio Grande rift system in New Mexico.
All of the students who attended field camp over the past five years helped to collect the data for me. SAGE exposed me to all of the various aspects and niches of geophysics not only the theoretical and mathematical basis of geophysical techniques, but then we got to go out into the field and apply them, Emily said.
Following Big Brother
Born in Ottawa, Canada, and currently living in west Plano, Emily says that she followed her older brother, Michael, to The University of Texas at Dallas because he was so happy with UTD and the education and opportunities he had while at the university that I decided to go here, too.
Picking a degree was a different matter. I didnt know immediately what degree to go into. I have always been drawn to environmental sciences and since UTD didnt have that department any longer, I went for a similar earth-related field, geosciences, she said.
For her undergraduate degree, Emily double majored in geosciences and computer science. Geosciences is generally defined as the study of the Earths four spheres the lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere.
Emily continued, The computer science degree has given me the tools to know what is going on in the computer so when a program doesnt work or the computer isnt doing what I expect, I can solve the problem logically. My programming knowledge also allows me to streamline and otherwise expand peoples programs and add features to them that help my research. Without programming knowledge, Id be stuck with program limitations! she said triumphantly.
Emily is a member of the 2001 inaugural class of McDermott scholars, and she describes her experience as wonderful.
The program was really the catalyst that got me into my area of archaeological geophysics, she said. McDermotts get to study abroad for a semester, and I decided that I would like to go to Scotland and learn about archaeological geophysics. The field is more developed and used in Europe because: 1.) they have a lot of layers of civilization and 2.) soil conditions, combined with the archaeology targets, are more conducive to using geophysics.
In Scotland, I spent most of my time at a desk researching imaging data filtering techniques for magnetic and resistivity data that they had. My main goal was to get as much field and interpretation experience with actual archaeologists as I could. I helped at a ruined homestead site in Argyll, a Roman fort on the Antonine Wall outside of Glasgow, and a ring-mound site in a person's backyard in the countryside, and a graveyard in Troon, she said.
Remote Sensing and Other Lab Work
Emily also completed an internship in the Geographic Information Systems lab at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Remote sensing, the measurement or acquisition of information on an object or phenomenon using a recording device that is not in physical or intimate contact with the object, is also within Emilys realm of experiences.
I did research in the Remote Sensing Lab under Professor [Robert] Stern during my undergraduate degree. I have used the Remote Sensing Labs software to filter and analyze some data by treating my geophysical data as if it were from a satellite.
The filtering principals are the same no matter what the data source. I would like to take a laser gun and map one of my sites. We have problems sometimes trying to line up our data with the archaeologists hand-drawn sketches, she said.
With Professor Stern, she studied the Kubbaniya Nile in Egypt a pre-Nile drainage that runs east to west instead of the Niles north to south route.
Before the Nile as we know it flowed through Egypt, the drainage system was much different. In earlier times, Egypt was also wetter so that there was more drainage in the area. The drainages in the area I was looking at around Kom Ombo, Egypt, flowed from the Red Sea Hills to the west and bending northward about where the Nile currently is.
The Nile cut through and truncated all of the drainages reversing the flow in the channels to the west of the Nile so that they flowed to the east and toward the Nile. The east channels were now tributaries of the Nile as well.
The importance of these old channels is that there could potentially be ground water usually very old water in their channel areas. The water will tend to drain in the ground along these old channel paths. Egypt is always looking for more sources of water other than the Nile, she said.
Back to the Future
Emily said she plans to get her master's degree by spring 2007.
Emily said she hopes to work for an environmental consulting firm, or a local government, but its really a niche market, especially in Dallas. I think Id eventually like to become an independent consultant.
She recommends the geosciences program at UTD "because its a really small department, and you really get to know all the professors and they get to know you. You also get to see the same students in your classes, and you get to learn all sorts of things about them on the field trips. By the time youre a senior, you really know everyone in your classes. The small program also means that there are a lot of research and trip opportunities for students who want them no matter what year they are in.

Packers still support Crosby
Kicker has missed 7 of last 13 field goal attempts
The Green Bay Packers are still backing struggling kicker Mason Crosby.
Both coach Mike McCarthy and special teams coordinator Shawn Slocum were steadfast in their commitment to Crosby on Monday, despite the fact that he's made only six of his past 13 field-goal attempts.
"I have confidence in the plan as we move forward," McCarthy said on Monday, one day after Crosby missed 50 and 38-yard field goals in a 24-20 victory over the Detroit Lions.
"Mason ... just needs to trust the process through his preparation and stay focused on that and carry it through as far as his performance.
"Mason Crosby is my kicker. So, we can just stop it right here."
Among the free-agent kickers available are Nate Kaeding, Ryan Longwell, Neil Rackers, John Kasay, Billy Cundiff and Dave Rayner.
Kaeding is the NFL's career leader in field-goal accuracy (87 percent) in regular-season play, but suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee last season, then suffered a groin injury in training camp this summer.
The Chargers released him off injured reserve on Oct. 30. A former third-round pick, Kaeding missed three field goals in a 17-14 home playoff loss to the New York Jets in January 2010, the Chargers' last postseason appearance, and is just 8 of 15 (53.3 percent) for his career in eight playoff games.
"I think changing players is the easy thing to do," Slocum said. "That's the easiest thing to do, is to go get someone else. But it's not always the best thing to do. We try to weigh every bit of information that we can and try to make the best decision top to bottom on what we do."
For the season, Crosby has made 11 of 18 attempts (61.1 percent), which ranks 31st in the NFL. Only Cundiff, who went 7 for 12 (58.3 percent) in five games for the Washington Redskins before being released, has a lower rate among kickers with at least 10 attempts.
After signing a five-year, $14.75 million contract ($3 million signing bonus, $1.65 million base salary for 2012) before last season, Crosby delivered his best year as a pro, making 24 of 28 on field-goal attempts. That included a Packers' franchise-record streak of 23 consecutive made field goals, a stretch that began midway through the Packers' Super Bowl season of 2010 and extended through Week 12 of last season.
"Mason really needs to trust his process. He has kicked thousands of kicks. He knows what to do. We need to go and have a good week of practice and he needs to start making field goals. And that's it," Slocum said. "I think it's far more important for him to trust his body of work and trust the process of the execution as opposed to the result. If the process is correct, the kick will go through."
Against the Lions on Sunday, Crosby's first miss came on a 50-yard attempt just before halftime -a kick he actually missed twice. First, Crosby missed wide right, but because Lions coach Jim Schwartz had called timeout, it didn't count. Crosby then lined up again and promptly missed wide left.
Despite those misses, the Packers also sent him out early in the fourth quarter to attempt a 58-yarder, but when tight end Tom Crabtree went in motion as if the Packers were running a fake, Crabtree was flagged for an illegal shift and the 5-yard penalty led to a punt instead.
Slocum said Monday that if Crabtree's motion had failed to get the Lions to jump offside, the Packers were prepared to have Crosby attempt the kick. Crosby kicked a career-best and franchise-record 58-yard field goal at Minnesota last season.
Crosby then missed again midway through the fourth quarter, sailing a 38-yarder wide left with 8:37 left to play and the Packers trailing 17-14.
"You have to practice what you preach," McCarthy said when asked why he and general manager Ted Thompson are more likely to be patient with a struggling player.
"You spend a lot of time together. Our guys work hard. In Mason's case ... we have history together and I believe in him. I don't think you really need to go past that.
"He has a job to do. He's not doing it. He recognizes it. I recognize it and he'll work through it. I know he can do it.
Crosby did bounce back to make the go-ahead extra point after Randall Cobb's touchdown catch with 1:55 to play, then tacked on a 39-yard field goal with 24 seconds left.
"Obviously I've got to make the field goals. That's No. 1," Crosby said after the game. "Ultimately, I had the opportunity there at the end and had to seal it off and I'm happy about that. (I) definitely have to fix the line and make sure I'm hitting good balls. It's frustrating. I really have to dial it in. It's small things I've been doing for a long time, so it's little things that I really need to look into and make sure I fix."
Slocum wants Crosby to simplify things and stop overthinking.
"You take everything into consideration," Slocum said. "We have the confidence that he can make kicks. He hasn't lately as he should, and he needs to for us to move forward and be as good as we can be as a football team."
