The question still implies that there is something different about atheists, unless you happen to think that the astral plane you will occupy is conditioned upon your belief in God. I some how doubt that is what you meant though. Why would it be any different for atheists? |

In response to the original question, Frisky, I think it's impossible to say what might happen to 'most atheists' given that a) the existence of astral planes is entirely speculative so there seems to be no real way to accurately guess how they might be apportioned, and b) as people have been trying to suggest in this thread, 'most atheists' is entirely subjective. You know only a few atheists, and your opinion is that they're mostly 'negative and condescending', but I know a great many atheists and they're just regular people, perfectly nice. My question in return to you is: What does it matter where they go? It seems from the original question that you're interested in the idea that atheists should somehow be punished for their lack of belief. What would it mean if they weren't? |

I'm kidding. I'm just curious what punishment, if any, would await atheists. I read that overly negative people go to lower astral planes to work out their karma. Hence why I asked the question . Last edited by Frisky; 12-19-2011 at 09:07 PM. | |||

Frisky, Can't remember where I read it, but the idea was that we all get what we believe. If we believe there is no life after death, for example, then that's what we get--zilch, nada, oblivion. The main thrust of the idea, in other words, referred to the consequences of our beliefs after we die. But I chose to think of it as applying to this life, the one I am in now, because we do create our own reality by how we interpret things and how we apply those interpetations to our attitudes and actions. If I believe I am a dirt bag, for example, I'll tend to act like one. If I want to think well of myself, I will most likely behave in a way that helps rather than hinders my self esteem and my relationship with other people. In this life, in other words, we ourselves are the primary source of what we get or do not get as a result of how we interpret life. And belief or disbelief is only one aspect of those interpretations. A secondary source is of course other people who react to dirt bags in one way or the other. Or the wall into which we are beating our head... But in the next life, if there is one, what or who measures out the thing we get? And is belief or disbelief in some god, the only factor in determining what we do or do not get? If belief or disbelief in some god is the only criteria for what you get, I'm thinking that's a pretty shallow approach for a supposedly divine being. I mean, how "divine" is it to decide a person's eternal fate based on the short span of a human life and how vulnerable it is to good and bad choices? And which god rules the outcome? There are thousands of religions, each apotheosizing a different god. If the christian god is the only one who really exists, or is the most powerful god, then disbelief leads to a lake of eternal fire. I can only guess what non-believers in other religions "earn" with their disbelief from those gods. If it's Zeus, what do unbelievers get? I do know, however, you can be a believer in one religion but an atheist with respect to another. The early christians were called atheists by the Romans. Muslims consider pretty much everybody else as atheists worthy of immediate extermination--at least that is how I read the literature. I like your question and the replies it has attracted. But I'd like to ask some more... Which atheists are you referring to? Are you limiting your question to the lack of belief? Are you willing to include other aspects of an atheist's character? Are you willing to expand your question to life in the here and now? --Bill |

What happens after we die has been seen metaphorically by a few astral travelers. What I think is key to understanding the entire cycle of birth/life/death is to understand why it is souls incarnate. Incarnation is a phase of existence we go through when we're self-aware enough to have a sense of free will, but not self-aware enough to be able to sustain ourselves indefinitely in an eternal context. Before we lead programmed existences as animals/plants. We have enough consciousness to have 'personalities' in the same way a dog has personality. To affect certain aspects of your life. This self-awareness blossoms into what we call intelligence. The intelligence we possess isn't yet mature, mature intelligence is called spirituality. The intelligence we possess is flawed, prone to going every which way and that. Intelligence is dangerous to itself. So this process of incarnation happens where we can learn lessons from our self-defeating mistakes within relative safety. We die and are reborn constantly. The lessons get progressively more and more subtler and refined, until we finally have shed the need for the birth/death cycle. The souls themselves are eternal and unchanging. It's the incarnations that form beliefs in God or beliefs in the lack of deity. These beliefs are localized to that incarnation, they don't affect the soul's journey at all. Now, the body is composed of physical as well as etheric matter. When the body dies, the incarnation gets shunted off into the ether. In the ether the incarnation can continue, for a brief time, while it can still maintain itself. This is difficult for most incarnations because timelessness can't yet be understood or held on to. So eventually the etheric matter fades away into a pure observation mode where it observes the effects it had on the world, it's descendants, until it gets tired of existing and fades back into its true soul. Now, some incarnations develop this intense belief in a Heaven or a Hell. The intensity of these beliefs orders that soul's afterlife. If the incarnations believe they truly deserve to go to Hell, well, Hell is a certain place in the ether they can visit, for as long as they want to be there. Heaven exists too. In either case, the incarnation eventually tires of eternality and fades back into its soul. Atheists, having no particular beliefs about the afterlife, will be surprised to find themselves in an afterlife. They can explore the ether for as long as they wish, just like everyone else, before fading back into their soul. |

Reason I'm asking is because I've wondered, when it comes to astral planes, where other types of people wind up in. Such as: Murderers Dictators Terrorists Negative religious people Positive religious people Scientists who made a difference in the world (Einstein, Bell, Steve Jobs) Etc...etc I managed to find lots of literature on these groups of people, but almost nothing on atheists. Thats why I started the thread | |

But the context of your curiosity is the astral plane, which, despite Vince's clear, concise explanation of reincarnation, is something I know little about. I read Madame Blavatsy many years ago, but have forgotten most of that. What I am left with is the impression that reincarnation is a godless religion. That is, the cycle of life and death is not orchestrated by some god, but by some inherent property of the universe. Reincarnation is like gravity, for example, they just are. My point is that I don't understand how the word atheist applies to reincarnation, astral planes and so forth. I thought you had to not believe in some god to be an atheist. If this line of thought and questioning is a kind of side track to your questions, I apologize. I'm just very intertested in this topic and willing to approach it from as many different angles as my little brain can handle. --Bill | |

Broncos Knowshon Moreno Injures Hamstring
Hamstring injury serious, but not torn.
The first weekend of camps and already we've seen injuries to key players like Montario Hardesty, Percy Harvin and DeSean Jackson. While Harvin and Jackson's hurts appear to be minor, not so for Denver Broncos running back, Knowshon Moreno.
Moreno suffered his right leg injury after catching a screen pass and fell in pain after making a cut. He had to be carted off the field and assisted into the locker room.
Since team officials are not calling his injury minor, it has to be serious.
The hamstring injury appears severe but according to team sources it is NOT torn as first feared.
Regardless, Moreno will likely miss the remainder of the summer healing and rehabbing. His availability, even rusty and ill-prepared, for the season opener is now in jeopardy.
This season is expected to be the sophomore's breakout campaign, and he's rated pretty highly in fantasy rankings. Now you'll want to drop him just a bit on draft day. While he should be fine, even if he's back in time to start the season, he won't be 100% up-to-speed. That could take several games.

© Botanist 2013. All rights reserved.
"The fact that IV: Mandragora is such a melodic record and yet feels untouched by the hand of external influence, editor, or pacifier to smooth it out is a testament to Otrebor's singular vision: it's undeniably the sound of the Botanist." -- Scott McKeating, Zero Tolerance #52
"As bizarre as [it] may be, Botanist is exactly the type of forward-thinking, completely original music that the genre needs." -- Musical Warfare
"It's all a highly idiosyncratic journey that's both trance-inducing and bewildering. IV: Mandragora is magnificently warped, and it is one of 2013's very best albums so far." -- Craig Hayes, Popmatters
"There's some seriously weird split personality shit going on here." -- Jon Wiederhorn, Vice Magazine's Noisey
"With IV: Mandragora, Botanist has defiantly cried an ultimatum to the world: love nature or be eradicated by it." -- Benjamin Holt, Progulator
"the slightest change in the formula of such minimal instrumentation can make a monumental difference, and such is the case with Mandragora." -- Apothecary, Metal Storm
"le Ricain paraît créer à la fois un guide de lecture de sa discographie ainsi qu'une synthèse possédant sa propre identité, l'ensemble étant marqué par une lumière, non plus coupante comme du verre, mais d'une douce froideur presqu'accueillante. (7/10)" ("the American seems to simultaneously create a reader's guide to his own discography, as well as a synthesis that has its own identity. The whole is marked by a particular light, a light that is not so glass-sharp anymore, but rather of a gentle cold that is almost welcoming. (7/10)")-- Ikea, Thrashocore
"Botanist is no mere anomaly relying solely on its unfamiliarity, but rather a creative force that's unfortunately rare." -- Graham Scala, RVA Mag
"Botanist an easy target for skeptics and purists, but thankfully, the quality of music quashes those notions with excellent and unique music that's engrossing and still carries a touch of aggression and violence." -- Perpetual Strife
"Throughout, the drums drive ['IV'] forward (especially 'Nightshade'), the croaking vocals are as insane as ever, and the dulcimer buzzes ever more like an electric guitar in all its dissonant fury." -- Kelly Hoffart, Full Metal Attorney
"IV: Mandragora" is not a long release, but it was a pain to listen to. I just don't think that I was ready for it, like it was a level above me; from a conscious plane that I have not had the honor of ascending to yet." -- Eric May, The Grim Tower
"'III: Doom in Bloom' is decidedly boring." -- Ikea, Thrashocore
"Dredging." -- Martijn Korremans, Zware Metalen
"whilst many black metal acts out there have agendas and missions and messages, they don't always feel rounded out – Botanist feels entirely whole, and completely necessary." -- Cheryl Prime, Cvlt Nation
"There's nothing else out there like Botanist, and with IV, he's truly hitting his singular, sinister stride." -- The Onion's AV Club's Jason Heller and John Semley
"what's probably the coolest, most original thing black metal has seen in a handful of years," Botanist is "proving to be one of the few characters in metal boasting both an agenda and a healthy dose of self-awareness." -- Reverend's Bazaar's Jordan Campbell.
"There are moments of the production where the sound quality seems a bit thin, but it's nothing that a bit of EQ can't fix." -- This Is Book's Music
"I've read that the man behind Botanist may have as many as five more albums in the works for the series, making this potentially one of the strangest and most epic musical arcs in any kind of pop music." -- Justin C., Metal Bandcamp
"I am absolutely thrilled with the final result and I guarantee if you are already familiar with the Botanist's previous work, you will be in awe on how good this record sounds." -- Alex, Metal-Fi
"Botanist hates more purely because he loves—which is why his metal that seems like many things that are not metal often sounds like the most uncompromising metal of all." -- Noah Berlatsky, The Atlantic
"Botanist's music seems to be gaining more leaves and roots with each new composition, and his musical army truly is coming to life. These albums keep getting bigger and more sinister, and there's no telling how this whole thing will end." -- Brian Krasman, Meat Mead Metal
"It's not going to be a straight-forward listen, and that is for the most part what makes IV: Mandragora, so appealing. Unfortunately, this is not going to be everybody's cup of tea. 4/5" -- Robert Garland, Sputnik Music
"faster tempos and shorter song lengths help make Mandragora both the most enjoyable, and palatable chapter yet." -- C. Barker, You Aren't Cool
"avant-garde, creative and unique." -- Chad Bowar, About.com
"People who say that there's nothing new under the sun clearly haven't heard of the Botanist. The one-man black metal project not only turns the genre on its head, but also sounds like nothing else I've heard before." -- Cactus-Mouth
Otrebor announces that Botanist will become a live band in 2013.
"Botanist is like nothing you've heard before. That's not hyperbole or lazy writing: It's a fact." -- Kim Kelly, Terrorizer
"is your drum kit made of wood? And if so, does that bother you?" -- Diffuser.fm's Andrew Poitras to Otrebor
"Someone who does play the hammered dulcimer very well, however - and completely destroying that hipster tag in the process - is Otrebor, the shadowy figure behind the one-man arboreal black metal project Botanist." -- Thumped's MacDara Conroy
Alarm Magazine's "This Week's Best Albums (Honorable Mention)" for "IV: Mandragora."
"'IV' plays out like the soundtrack to post-human earth, once the human race has been eradicated, and the world is a lush nirvana, where nothing but plants grow, allowed to spread out endlessly, and reach forever heavenward." -- Aquarius Records
"Throughout, The Botanist seems several seeds short of a full garden" -- Emusic's Jon Wiederhorn
"The world, as we know it, is divine. This unnamable, unknowable divinity's existence is reflected through our natural environment. If we want to enjoy this world, to venerate it, to thrive within it, we must respect it; we must protect it, even if it's only for our personal benefit. If we don't, if we annoy the Earth enough, the Earth will kill us and move on." -- Louder Than Hell interviews Otrebor
"IV: Mandragora" officially released. It can be purchased on Botanist's bandcamp or at The Flenser.
"['IV: Mandragora'] is easily the band's greatest work yet. I don't know how someone can manage to make music that is both absolutely hideous and beautiful at the same time, but that's Botanist for you." -- Heavy Blog Is Heavy
"repetitively chiming, wobbly harmonies, sounding more like the world's oddest My Bloody Valentine cover band than a project rooted in black metal." -- Metal Sucks
"The mandrakes will win, and I will listen attentively." -- Scott Hunter, Ear Infection Music
"Conventional instrumentation within black metal is no longer missed. 3/5" - Terrorizer's Angela Davey on "IV: Mandragora," January, 2013.
"Mandrake Legion (Mandragora V)" premieres on Pitchfork, who writes: "[the music has] the same sense of musical lift and triumph heard in bands such as Wolves in the Throne Room or Winterfylleth."
Metal Sucks features an article on "IV: Mandragora" entitled "Albums That Will Fuck Your Face Off in 2013," proclaiming it as "a majestic, brimming, dynamic thing that claws deeper with each listen."
"The music of Botanist is meant to represent the Plantae Kingdom, its form, its beauty, its function, all in an artistic or literal way. The music is meant to give each individual denizen a voice. Collectively, it is the voice of The Verdant Realm." -- Otrebor in a dulcimer-centered piece on Botanist (and Inez Lightfoot) in The Willamette Week.

According to a media release distributed by the Chicago Sun-Times, the program "continues the 35-year-old run of a reviewing format first introduced by Gene Siskel and Ebert and later by Ebert and Richard Roeper".
The show will launch in January 2011 on WTTW Chicago, the city's public television station.
The new At the Movies will feature co-hosts Christy Lemire, The Associated Press film critic, and Elvis Mitchell of National Public Radio. The journalists will review films and the show will also cover new media and feature special segments about classic films, movie genres and on-demand viewing.
Feature contributors will include Kim Morgan and Omar Moore.
The show will further feature the classic "Thumbs up/Thumbs down" review format made famous by Ebert and Siskel during their run as TV film critics, which began in 1975 on PBS. Their original show, called Sneak Previews and then retitled At the Movies, moved into syndication in 1982.
The launch will feature an "extended website" for the new program.

There were two things that immediately struck me. The first was the extreme religiosity of Gladstone, especially in regard to sin he felt from his rescue work. He was a man who continually struggled to reconcile his faith to his actions, and through his meticulous diary keeping we are allowed to peer through a large window into his soul, as opposed to the speculation that often litters biographies.
The second was his troubled relationship with Queen Victoria. Whilst I had previously been aware of her preference for Disraeli, I had not been aware of the adverse reaction she had to almost anything that Gladstone did as Premier, especially in later years. The snub she delivered to him regarding a peerage upon the close of his final premiership was particularly vitriolic (and amusing reading!), and the feel of the book is that his struggles were as much with Victoria as with Benjamin Disraeli.
Jenkins succeeds in stripping away completely the layers of Gladstone. He goes into the right amount of detail on the key events of his life, and also critically evaluates them. Jenkins is not in slavish approval of his every action or personality trait. His prose is occasionally witty but always well constructed, though the Latin and French phrases often reveal the pompous character of the author. He succeeds again in drawing parallels with other historical figures and also in drawing on his own vast experience.
The Grand Old Man emerges well out of this. No Prime Minister of politician ever has an entirely blemish free career. Jenkins leaves the blemishes in for all to see, and the decision about the extent to which Gladstone is the greatest PM depends on how you judge his faults against his successes. Jenkins makes the case for the prosecution and the defence in an interesting and lively way in a book that is well worth investigation.
Roy Jenkins has produced a work which is transparently honest and scrupulous in the richness of detail it unfolds. I can well believe the plaudits which acclaim its scholarship. Yet only a few chapters into it I found myself on an unexpected journey which has proved fascinating and instructive in further feeding my appetite for Gladstone and the Victorian era, but wary of the critics who have acclaimed this book.
Four themes In Roy Jenkins book increasingly unsettled me. They drove me to a second hand bookshop where I found a copy of an earlier biography of Gladstone by Philip Magnus. It was the earlier biography (published 1954) which captivated me and led me to plough my way through both biographies side by side. It was Magnus who proved to be more interesting and rewarding. Perhaps because he is slightly shorter he has also greater clarity. So what was it in Jenkins biography which sent me down this route?
First the prose. Whilst generally very readable his syntax reminded me of that master of written argument, Bernard Levin. But sometimes for Jenkins the complex and lengthy sentences just didn't work. Several times I read a multi-clause sentence again and again and still failed to find either the intended sense or the gramatical logic. The prose was at times over ambitious and cumbersome.
Second and most strikingly, I came early to the conclusion that Jenkins did not understand Gladstone's personal religion. Jenkins regarded his subject as 'priggish' in his attitude to certain ways of the world. He seems to categorise Gladstones struggles with personal sin as being flights of eccentricity and delusion rather than a common feature of Christian life through the ages. I can understand they might be alien to the author but his viewpoint intruded too much.
Then, as I later found, in trying to grasp an overview of 19th century events Magnus was just more interesting. To be told, for example, on page one that Lincoln, Tennyson and Darwin were born in the same year as Gladstone set the context rather better than Jenkins had done and the unfavourable comparison continued as I read the books side by side.
Finally, the (socially) liberal Jenkins draws a portrait of the Liberal Gladstone which is unsympatheic on some of the great moral and social issues common to both the 19th century and the present. Again it intruded.
So the book turns out to be an impressive work with fatal flaws which, by happy circumstance, drove me to a rather better work written 50 years earlier. But the critics don't think he wasted his time.
Gladstone we are told would have chosen a career in the Church of England but his father wanted him to go into politics. Jenkins reckons him to be not only the oldest of prime ministers but also the greatest and the most committed Christian to hold that office.
I found this a fascinating study from which I learned much I never knew. Gladstone was a Scot by descent. His father made the family fortune in part from slave plantations in the West Indies. The great orator, Eton and Oxford educated spoke with a Liverpool accent and there are sound recordings of his voice. A great scholar and reader, he read over 20.000 books in his long life. They included the latest novels of the day.
Gladstone went from Tory to Liberal. This biography tells us much about the development of politics in Britain but I believe it would be improved by the inclusion of a time line relating events to the wider flow of contemporary history. Jenkins tells us little of contemporary events unless Gladstone was directly involved. I think Jenkins assumes the reader knows history and has a very extensive vocabulary. You need a dictionary as companion volume.
The one point where Jenkins is weak is in a sympathetic understanding of Gladstone's faith. But he can be memorable as in, "For Gladtsone, idolatry began at Calais".

On Saturday, 18 May 2013, Janice and I went with houseguest Byron V.O. to the Apple Cinema/Entertainment Cinemas Fresh Pond in Cambridge, Mass., There, we met Beruk A., Bruce K., Rich C.G., Rich's friend Darryl, and Thomas K.Y. & Kai-Yin H. for Star Trek: Into Darkness. We all enjoyed the sequel to the reboot of the long-running space opera franchise.
Story: The movie opens with the starship Enterprise saving the inhabitants of the planet Nibiru from a volcano that's about to erupt. This violates Starfleet's Prime Directive, which requires noninterference with societies that have yet to develop Warp (faster-than-light) capability.
Adm. Christopher Pike tells Capt. James T. Kirk that he's relieved of duty, but terrorist attacks on Earth call the intrepid crew of the Enterprise back into action (the trailers have mostly focused on these, in an echo of 9/11 and even the recent Boston Marathon bombings). Kirk, his first officer Mr. Spock, Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy, and friends must overcome physical and personal challenges to save the United Federation of Planets from an internal threat.
Director J.J. Abrams and company created a parallel universe in 2009's Star Trek to be more accessible to a generation of moviegoers not familiar with the 1960s television show and its numerous spinoffs. However, viewers who are "Trekkies" or "Trekkers" and know the rich history of Gene Roddenberry's fictional universe will recognize many elements of Into Darkness, including Klingons, Tribbles, and references to characters such as Harry Mudd and Christine Chapel.
I had worried, based on early reviews, that Abrams and Paramount had "gone back to the well" once too often by rehashing familiar plot points, but the acting, pacing, and twists mostly made up for this, and the ending of the movie — don't worry, I'll avoid "spoilers" here, but be aware that the links in this review lead to some — leaves the fictional future wide open for more adventures.
Acting: I have fond memories of watching reruns of the original Star Trek TV series back in college, and the actors who first took on those roles have become pop culture icons. Still, I think that the returning cast of the new version has been well-chosen, from Chris Pine as the cocky but good-natured Kirk, Zach Quinto as the (mostly) logical Vulcan Spock, and Karl Urban as the irascible Dr. McCoy. They continue to be worthy successors to William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, and the late De Forrest Kelley, respectively.
Just as in the original series and the first half-dozen Trek films, the supporting cast is smart and fun. Zoe Saldana is back as strong-willed communications officer (and Spock's girlfriend) Lt. Nyota Uhura, comedian Simon Pegg is a hoot as engineer Lt.Cmdr. Montgomery "Scotty" Scott, and Anton Yelchin is Russian wunderkind Ensign Pavel Chekov.
Helmsman Lt. Hikaru Sulu, as played by John Cho, doesn't quite ooze charisma the way George Takei does, but he does get a key scene in the captain's chair. Bruce Greenwood is back as Adm. Pike, lending gravitas and fatherly guidance to impetuous Kirk and repressed Spock.
The latest additions to this iteration of Star Trek are just as good. The comely Alice Eve plays science officer Carol Wallace, and RoboCop and Buckaroo Banzai's Peter Weller is Adm. Alexander Marcus, who tasks the Enterprise with taking on mysterious torpedoes. There's also a cameo that actually helps the story along.
As expected, Benedict Cumberbatch (the lead of the BBC/PBS Sherlock and Smaug and the Necromancer in Peter Jackson's Hobbit adaptations) is formidable as John Harrison, the terrorist scientist of this movie. He's both strong and clever as a foil to both Kirk and Spock and is a better villain than Romulan miner Nero in its predecessor flick.
Script: The dialogue is fast, witty, and filled with catchphrases from the '60s series. I suspect that casual viewers or those who aren't science fiction fans won't find the banter as entertaining as we did, but this is a sequel that doesn't talk down to its viewers. There is some dodgy physics, such as a "cold fusion" bomb, odd rates of acceleration and descent, and sound in space, but Trek is part of a long tradition of science in service to character-based stories rather than a lesson in realism.
While I'd prefer that a Star Trek film occasionally focus on exploration and diplomacy rather than military space opera, at least the script mentioned those concerns.
Direction: Abrams keeps up a brisk pace and gets emotive performances from the cast of Star Trek: Into Darkness. I might disagree with his addiction to lens flares and the choreography of a few fight scenes, but Abrams has injected vitality into the franchise, and I hope that Disney's recently acquired Star Wars universe is in good hands.
Visual effects: Other than the science quibbles above, Into Darkness is spectacular, as its crew faces off against hovering aircraft, hostile Klingon vessels, and a monstrous Dreadnaught-class starship. I liked seeing more of Earth in the 23rd century, and the sleek interior of the Enterprise seems larger than any of the other renditions of the famous starship, including the NCC 1701-E of First Contact onward.
Soundtrack: The classical score, while still not as memorable as that of earlier movies, continues the themes from the '09 Trek. My favorite part is closing credits of Into Darkness, with its peppy recap of the music from the 1960s show, despite the movie's grim title and premise.
Ratings: At an early dinner at Bertucci's, the consensus was about an 8 out of 10, with Rich being the most critical at a 7 and Bruce being most generous with a 10. I'd give Star Trek: Into Darkness, which is rated PG-13 for violence and unnecessary language, 8.5, a B+/A-, or four out of five stars.
As usual, there are mixed to negative reviews out there, but I'd recommend that potential fans keep their expectations in check and go in with an open mind. We were pleasantly surprised to find that Into Darkness, for all its modernizations and minor inconsistencies, still felt like classic Trek. I'd like to see Star Trek return to television, where it can focus more on idealistic social commentary rather than villain-driven fisticuffs.
Of the trailers we saw, I'm still most interested in Neil Blomkamp's dystopian Elysium and least interested in Jerry Bruckheimer's campy Lone Ranger. Man of Steel is the next big summer movie I'm looking forward to. In the meantime, live long and prosper!

OCEANIA/PAPUA NEW GUINEA - "Year of Faith": a challenge for young people
Rabaul (Agenzia Fides) - The Year of Faith is "an opportunity to renew and revitalize our Catholic faith, and this may be easier for the youth of Papua New Guinea following the footsteps of Blessed Peter To Rot, a model of faith of our time": these are the words the Apostolic Nuncio to Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, Archbishop Santo Gangemi, addressed to the youth of the archdiocese of Rabaul, whom he met a few days ago in a visit to the youth centers of the various parishes and lay realities. Recalling that the "Year of Faith is around the corner, as it will be opened by Pope Benedict XVI on 11 October," the Nuncio urged the leaders of the youth community to "be responsible in the various ecclesial realities, promoting an active participation" in the pastoral life. The youth were engaged in a special formation program, organized by the Commission for the Youth, in the Episcopal Conference of Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.
The youth of Papua chose two special Patrons: Blessed Peter To Rot, and Santa Maria Goretti. Currently under the guidance of Fr. Shanti Puthussery, PIME, head of the Episcopal Commission for Youth, the youth of the 22 dioceses of Papua and Solomon are following a preparation course for "World Youth Day" to be held in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) in 2013 (PA) (Agenzia Fides 14/09/2012)

Greta and Julia, both 12, live at a shelter for street children in Tbilisi, Georgia; more than half of all children deprived of parental care in the region live in institutional rather than foster or family-based care. |
SOFIA, Bulgaria, 30 July 2007 – "I would describe it as a paradigm shift," said UNICEF Child Protection Specialist Dita Reichenberg, referring to outcomes from the first regional consultation on child care system reform in South East Europe. "Compared to where we were five years ago, we are now really seeing progress for vulnerable children and the systems which support them," she adds.
Held earlier this month, the Sofia Consultation drew 120 social welfare officials, including Ministers and Deputy Ministers, and NGO delegates from countries across the region. Representatives from the UN, the World Bank and the European Union also participated.
"For a long time, social welfare issues weren't a priority for governments in the region, but since 2000 they have really begun to focus on this sector," Ms. Reichenberg noted. "What is happening now is that all governments have embraced reform, agreeing that the old system of institutionalizing children was dehumanizing and counterproductive."
Reforms and innovations
At the opening ceremony of the consultation, UNICEF's Regional Director for Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CEE/CIS), Maria Calivis, told delegates: "There is no longer any questioning of the fact that the family is the most appropriate environment for children to grow up in, and that the focus of our support must be on families.
"Ongoing reforms are beginning to show encouraging and at the same time remarkable transformations in this region," she continued, citing 50 examples of promising innovations that represent "just a snapshot of the wealth of information and experience that we can benefit from."
Ms. Calivis asked the delegates to address key questions: "Today, where do we stand? How far have we come? What lessons have we learned? And is it fair to say that in every part of South East Europe, attitudes towards child care systems have changed?"

'Focusing on the family'
The consultation took up the challenge, and each government participated in examining a wide range of issues involving children who are deprived of parental care.
"The big policy shift that the consultation adopted is the individual case management approach," Ms. Reichenberg says. "This is a milestone for reform, a massive change in thinking from an era when the state assumed all responsibility for the welfare of the vulnerable – but did it in such a way that it categorized and institutionalized people, stripping them of their independence and dignity.
"Each country over the past decade has left this approach behind without losing their commitment to the vulnerable," she continues. "The individual is now the centre of the system's response, and that means focusing on the family."
According to Ms. Calivis, the challenge now is to make sure that reforms have a visible impact on the lives of children. The data show there is still some distance to go.
The number of children who are in the care system has increased consistently since 2001, and today as many as 126,000 children across South East Europe are growing up in public care. Although 44 per cent of children in the system now grow up in family-based care, 56 per cent are still placed in residential institutions. "This ratio must change," Ms. Calivis asserted.
Growing consensus for reform
A bonus from the consultation was a strengthening of the consensus among international organizations to support social welfare reform.
"We are seeing a complementary approach by the major international players," Ms. Reichenberg said. "UNICEF comes at the issue through a child rights perspective, which puts the child at the centre of the response. The World Bank sees the issue through the prism of reducing poverty, while the European Union seeks to ensure that there is social inclusion.
"When you put these approaches together, it sends a very powerful message of support to governments undertaking such reform," she added.
The Sofia Consultation was organized by UNICEF's CEE/CIS Regional Office in conjunction with the Bulgarian Ministry of Labour and Social Policy, and the World Bank, with support from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency. Among the countries and provinces represented were: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, UN-administered Kosovo, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Turkey.

MMAS: The Finale
First off, what a nice little sendoff for the season. Last night's episode was well-produced and well-edited, making for a finale that was tense and emotional but not maudlin or overly manipulative.
Best photographer they ever worked with, that's for sure.
He was very focused, very kind and very patient. Not surprisingly,
He got the boys to turn out some amazing shots.
For the last week, Lorenzo's been pre-fuming over his predicted outcome for this show. "They need to pick Branden!" he would roar to the heavens. Tom agreed, but always said in response, "You know they're not going to do that." We just thought it was a foregone conclusion that, even though from where we were sitting, he had the most potential out of the three of them, he was just too young and the judges were too in love with the other two for him to win the whole thing.
Well. As soon as the above picture flashed on the screen, Tom turned to Lorenzo and said "You're right. They HAVE to pick him." Not to take away anything from the other two portraits, which are both very good, but we literally cannot take our eyes off that picture of Branden. Give that kid a couple of years and some on-the-job training and he's going to nail it every time a camera is pointed at him.
From the best photo shoot they've ever done…
We don't know what the hell image Cosmo was trying to send by agreeing to do this, but "creepy and low rent" were probably not high on the list. Seriously, it was embarassing. A bunch of unnamed Cosmo staffers hung around and stared at the boys as they posed for them. Very weird. And again, unsurprisingly…
The pictures were all terrible. Although for some reason they never showed Sandhurst's shots.
And now, for the emotional blackmail portion of our program:
It's fine. It's a feature of the genre of reality competitions and it's not going away, so go ahead producers, manipulate us. We don't mind. It was all relatively sweet and relatively unstaged.
Besides, it was rather clever how they intertwined "emotional reunion" and "retrospective of their work" all in one sequence kind of seamlessly.
We do love those reality competition "parties," though. A bunch of production staffers artfully arranged to look like a crowd.
Runway time!
Fortunately, they also looked suave and smooth.
This is the look that Jonathan is built for. His walk was so solid and he looked sogood in BOTH pieces that we were sure he was the winner.
Sandhurst also gave an incredibly strong and incredibly smooth walk, so we thought maybe HE was going to win it.
We don't know what it is about Branden but it all sort of came together for him last night. Look at the long shot of him in that suit. He LOOKS like a model. He's got the unnaturally long and lean look to him and the clothes look incredible on him. That ostrich neck on him is probably a little weird in person but in photographs and on the runway it's really going to serve him well.
On a side note, what the hell was up her ass last night? What was with all the "I'm going to make you cry" leading questions?
"Branden, it sucks for you that your father ran out on you, am I right?" What the HELL? Where did THAT come from?
We hear people say "But Jonathan (or Sandhurst) is SO GORGEOUS and Branden just looks like a skinny kid!" Thing is, modeling isn't always about being the prettiest in the room; it's quite often about being the most interesting to look at and it's ALWAYS about the ability to sell something, whether it's an image or a pair of jeans.
All of them have that ability to one degree or another. It's to the show's credit that they narrowed it down to three such strong contenders. But Branden has that ability PLUS he's got youth on his side PLUS he embodies a certain look that's in on the runways and editorials right now, young, thin, pouty and chiseled all at once. It was a surprise to us that they went there, but it really was the right choice to make.
Aw. Yes he did. And the great part is, we have no doubt that these two will get careers out of this as well. We hope so.
A finale with three gorgeous men who are also sweet. What could be better?

The St. Michael's Medical Response Angels' Manny Cabrera and John Reyes hung tough to top the pitching and batting races in the 2012 Saipan Major League.
Cabrera maintained a 0.40 Earned Run Average for three strong wins this year. He pitched 22.2 innings and only one of 13 runs scored on his watch was credited as earned.
Honorable mention goes out to Saipan Stevedore Yankees lefty Joshua Jones, who pitched three complete games (29IP) and dialed up 62 strikeouts at the start of the season before heading off to the mainland to play collegiate ball two months ago.
Tan Holdings Brewers' hurler Vince Cepeda and IT&E-Shell Fielders' Elton Santos tried their best to surpass Jones' mark, but the crown remained with the latter, as Cepeda finished with 58 and Santos retired 45.
Jones' 0.62 ERA earned him runner-up honors in the category, ahead of the Brewers' Thomas Camacho (0.81), Cepeda (0.84), Aces' Benwachi Taisacan (1.90), Angels' Franco Flores (2.25), Aces' Juan Iguel (2.34), and Angels' Thomas Joab (3.00).
In hitting, Reyes cracked 20 hits in 39 at bats for a 0.513 batting average. He chalked up 16 runs and 3 doubles and was the only player with at least 34 at bats to break 0.500.
IT&E-Shell's Anthony Tenorio (0.488) and Brewers' Byron Kaipat (4.86) came the closest to besting Reyes' effort, but fell just short. Tenorio swung 21-for-43 and earned a share in runs scored, triples, and doubles in the process. Tenorio and Yankees' Ben Jones Jr. scored 18 runs apiece this year and hit three triples, both league highs, and the former's five doubles tied Brewers' Roy Celis.
Kaipat went 18-for-37 and is the RBI champion, as his 16 RBIs stood tall over teammate Manny Sablan (12), Yankees' Chris Camacho (12), Aces' Nokki Saralu (11), and fellow Brewer Mike Pangelinan (10).
There were three home run kings this year, as Yankees' Tom Agulto and Jerome Delos Santos and IT&E-Shell's Brandon Santos all sent a ball over the fence.
Winners in the statistical race in the SML league were based on the players performance in the double-round robin regular season at the Francisco "Tan Ko" Palacios Ballfield.

People Weigh In on The Issues
By: Andy Mehalshick
Updated: January 21, 2013
Far from the nation's capitol Americans are watching, listening and weighing. on the issues
For folks like Mike Lehan from Drums, one issue is on his mind..
"The economy the economy right now is very stagnant it has been for quite a while. There's so much blame it just keeps going on and on. I'd like to see him hopefully get control of the situation economically hopefully move forward for a stronger America."
And for others, like Carol Kunyz of Coaldate it was healthcare..
"Well, it's healthcare I don't really like what he's proposing.I noticed alot of my benefits like the medicine I take I can't have the anymore I have to get generic or they just don't cover it."
For Mike Van Orden of Coaldale..troops overseas are on his radar..
"Initially getting our Troops out of Iraq immediately the middle east in general we don't need to be there any longer .The war is just falling aprt get it over and done with just coe home bring them home."
For Rich Hudak of Hazleton gun issues are on his mind.
"Gun control not so much getting guns off the street but making it more tat the citizens have gun locks gun cabinets where young adults or children cant get into them."

From a guy who ran one of the "World's 50 Best" restaurants in Lima, comes Lima, a sky-lit Peruvian spot where rustic wood flooring gives way to geometrically patterned leather banquettes, imposing tilted mirrors for surreptitiously spying on other patrons, art you'll tell your date is "modernist" and probably be right (but then again who knows), and slatted walls clearly lifted from a very nice beehive.
The menu's split between raw (sea bass ceviche in tiger milk, scallops w/ sweet potato...), and heat-kissed numbers like suckling pig sided by potatoes "cultivated at 4,000 meters", pachamanca prawn baked with the aid of hot stones, and lamb shoulder doused in pisco cinnamon, which when held in the mouth will make you start crying, with joy.
As for the stuff that'll give you the courage to broach other subjects besides art, Pisco graces every single one of the bar's cocktails, from Peru-ified classics like Negronis & Bloody Marias, to all-originals like the chilli-infused Cuento del Diablo, or the Sauvignon Blanc'd First Bird -- or, what someone will flip you when they catch you spying on them with those mirrors.

Higuchimon 2/27/09 . chapter 1 Aw. This was just too sweet and sad. Poor Cobra...you can't say Yubel doesn't keep her promises, though! I have a feeling that when Rick does tell him...Cobra will be all right sooner or later. After all, they'll never be separated again. |

Renewable Energy is Green, Clean and Sustainable Energy
Solar Water Heating Potential A solar water heater is the most competitive alternative to conventional water heating methods such as electric geysers and fuel-fed boilers.
It makes an attractive and sustainable option, with its global distribution, pollution free nature, virtually inexhaustible supply and near-zero operational cost. Solar water heaters run on a free fuel (i.e. sunshine), thus saving on energy costs that help recover its initial cost in just 2-4 years.
In India, the Ministry has assessed a techno-economic potential of 40 million sq. mtr. of collector area. Out of this, 20 million sq. mtr is targeted to be achieved by 2022. To accelerate the installation of solar water heating systems, a UNDP–GEF supported project is in operation by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy since 2009.

Hi guys,
yesterday I tried the CD-image of SMS (1.9 and 2.x) and several different slave/master combinations. I even reformated my drive twice to FAT32, but the content (xvid-TV-shows) are not shown
Sometimes SMS locks up after entering the HDD. Is there still an USB issue there? Or did I do something wrong? The internal HDloader-HDD is recognized, so I guess it is not a HDD fault. The HDD works on windows and I use this external drive: http://www.raidsonic.de/de/pages/pro..._objectID=3788
Any help would be highly appreciated !
Thx in advance,
