I'm trying to set the Gallery/Options/Effects (from the drop down) to either lightbox or highslide. When I'm on this gallery admin page it takes, but as soon as I navigate away it changes to "Custom" and doesn't deliver the effect I want.
Instructions say:
"Here you can select the thumbnail effect, NextGEN Gallery will integrate the required HTML code in the images. Please note that only the Shutter and Thickbox effect will automatic added to your theme. With the placeholder %GALLERY_NAME% you can activate a navigation through the images (depend on the effect). Change the code line only, when you use a different thumbnail effect or you know what you do."
So it appears I need to edit some of the code in the files to something like:
class="highslide" onclick="return hs.expand(this, { slideshowGroup: %ID=nggallery id=4% })"
rel="lightbox[%nngallery id=4%]"
So where do I put this (which file, which line of code)? Or, is there something I can do so that my selection "takes" when I set it on the page Gallery/Options/Effects admin page?

Google is no longer following my robots.txt file. It has indexed hundreds of pages that I have disallowed.
Generally it's best to make any changes when SERPs are stable, never within an update due to panic!
[edited by: tedster at 7:43 pm (utc) on May 13, 2010]
My non-technical take is that between the new interface pushing organic down even further and the introduction of the left margin in search results, a portion of traffic that we'd all otherwise get is making use of ads, maps, and tools (to a larger degree).
[edited by: TheMadScientist at 9:58 am (utc) on May 16, 2010]
TheMadScientist....so what do you suggest we use to actually get a good sense of where our site ranks if we are not able to emulate what others are seeing? I mean how can we track our rankings across the board (what other searchers are seeing) if we can only seeing ranking from our end and have no clue what they are seeing is the same or not?
... as data is gathered and processed by the systems the roughness will probably wear off...
If you have a big website such as us which focusses on the whole world you are getting pushed down by local results.
Re AI i dont think google would have sufficient data on sites to implement it reliably
it doesnt explain why adult sites are returned for basic searches
I plan to study the current SERPs as much as possible while their algorithmic underwear is still showing.
But what to study?
If it is CTR (or even Site Performance)
[edited by: TheMadScientist at 3:49 am (utc) on May 17, 2010]
If it is CTR (or even Site Performance)
don't you think that if this was being taken into account then they would want to release that information

don't you think that if this was being taken into account then they would want to release that information publicly

For some reason when I upload an image and specify the title (alt text) it is saved with simply the filename as the title. I have been manually adding titles for images for months and when I looked at my code today I realized that all the images simply had the image_name.jpg as their alt text.
That being said...if I go into the browse images and click on edit, I can edit the title field click save and then it will save. What gives?

OK RUFFNECK, you're correct. I didn't offer Minner any advice on where to best spend his points---and I'm sorry about that.
Here's my advice: Move to Colorado. Establish residency. Use those points on ANY Ranching for Wildlife unit--because that's where the best of the best elk reside and non-residents can't apply.
I personally wouldn't try to accumulate 10 or more points to hunt anywhere else. I also think the present point system for elk/deer/antelope/bear stinks and should be modeled more after the sheep/goat/moose system where you accumulate 3 base points and then after that you get another entry in the drawing for each year of not being drawn.
By the way, RUFFNECK, I'm not anti oil & gas, but all the same. I wouldn't hunt the Bosque under it's current conditions. I'm curious though, If you couldn't hunt the BDO, what would your next choice be? (on public land-not private)

Global Executive MBA
Culture, Civilizations and Leadership
Apply today
Globally savvy business leaders are able to maintain their core principles while being flexible enough to adapt their style to be successful in a variety of cultural contexts. The Culture, Civilizations and Leadership (CCL) multi-term course gives you the tools to assess different cultural situations and learn how to adjust in order to be an effective leader and manager in varying situations.
The course combines theory and practice to provide you with a framework to critically analyze diverse global environments in all regions of the world—not just the regions you will be immersed in during the program. This is achieved through:
- Introducing theoretical frameworks in historical, sociological, anthropological, and decision-making perspectives in order to examine and discuss real-world practical examples.
- Experiential learning where you are immersed in unique in-person situations that require flexibility and adaptation to be successful.
- Enabling you to develop an appreciation of the context within which companies operate around the world in order to provide greater global insight for you to apply throughout your career.
- Embedding the Culture, Civilizations and Leadership course in the structure of the Cross Continent/Global Executive programs allows you to learn through personal experiences in each residency and through direct interaction with speakers who are regional experts or proven leaders within the region.
In New Delhi, Global Executive MBA students engage with administrators, as well as homeless and runaway children at a shelter home operated by Salaam Baalak Trust. The non-governmental organization offers services including food, medicine, and access to education and the arts, to impoverished children.
Cultural Immersion
As part of the course, each residential location includes a Cultural Immersion Activity during which you will leave the classroom and your comfort zone for new cultural and professional situations. Through your exploration in the immersion, you will personally experience the concepts that are discussed and debated in the classroom.
During a recent Shanghai residency students chose from several cultural immersion activities. Individuals on student learning teams were encouraged to select different immersion activities so they would have a rich set of experiences to discuss as a team.
Below is a sample list of the Cultural Immersion Activities from which students selected:
Healthcare and Traditional Chinese Medicine
Students interested in healthcare systems and different approaches to treating medical issues had the opportunity to:
- Participate in a briefing on the differences between Western and Eastern medicine.
- Visit a traditional Chinese medicine store to understand what ingredients are used to treat different ailments.
- Gain an understanding of who people in China look to for medical advice and treatment.
Consumer Brands and Retail: Visit a Local Family in Caoyang Village
Students interested in consumer brands (beverages, personal care, baby care, food, etc.) and retail had the opportunity to:
- Participate in home visits to see where people live, understand their needs, hear about the brands they choose and why, and understand how those brands are used.
- Gain an understanding of a traditional home.
- Visit a local supermarket or big chain store with a shopping list and a budget to try to understand the trade-offs made when purchasing brands, as well as understanding the variety of choices and the quantity of brands that exist in the marketplace.
Education and Culture in the Next Generation: Teaching English in a Chinese School
Students interested in education, teaching, or migration issues in China and how the Chinese government manages this migration, as well as the challenges associated with it, had the opportunity to:
- Visit a school on the outskirts of Shanghai to see a gym class and observe a teacher in the classroom.
- Ask questions about education, teaching approaches, and priorities as well as to better understand how an NGO operates and addresses the challenges of migrant children in Shanghai.
Extend the Classroom
During each residency, you are encouraged to explore and be adventurous to broaden your perspective and provide further examples illustrating the concepts discussed in class. For example, you may visit a local market, negotiate the price of fruits or vegetables, and discuss the vendor's supply chain and business model. Or you may visit a local restaurant and take an adventuresome approach to the menu—taste the traditional foods and interact with local patrons. In some regions, getting from point A to point B is a challenge in itself when you must overcome language barriers with a taxi driver. You're encouraged to record your experiences and reactions in a journal, or within the class discussion board for debate.


text: Debt and Budget Va Tax Dept Debit Cards By Tommie McNeil • May 28, 2013 Those debit cards that the Virginia Department of Taxation issued to taxpayers instead of checks are not going anywhere. In fact, as the tax season wraps up, most residents have already seen them. Getting rid of tax-refund checks was supposed to save the state money. Taxpayers had the option of cashing out the card, transferring funds, or using it as a point-of-sale card or at an ATM. But they were charged fees and were often confused about how to access funds. Burns said he didn't receive many complaints, though. Online Tax Tangles By Matt Laslo • May 23, 2013 Revenue that Virginia officials were anticipating from online sales tax legislation in Congress is now in doubt. Recently the U-S Senate overwhelmingly approved a measure to make it easier for states to collect sales taxes from online purchases. Since then lobbyists for big online retailers and small business owners alike have stormed House office buildings trying to sway your local representatives. The reason for the intense lobbying effort is that billions of dollars are at stake. Virginia officials expect to reap more than $250-million from online sales tax revenue. State Revenues Still a Concern for Lawmakers By Anne Marie Morgan • May 21, 2013 State revenues improved a little last month following a dismal drop of 6.1% in March. The news reassured members of the House Appropriations Committee, who worry that federal sequestration cuts could have a negative impact on both Virginia's economy and the state's coffers. Sequestration Cuts Affecting Some Meals on Wheels Programs By Beverly Amsler • May 20, 2013 Local Office on Aging, Roanoke Sequestration cuts are starting to affect some Meals on Wheels programs throughout the Commonwealth. The Local Area on Aging in Roanoke is losing $96,000 from its Meals on Wheels program this federal fiscal year. That's a fraction of the hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses the program is taking around the Commonwealth. VaNews for 05.06.13 By Fred Echols • May 6, 2013 One method of paying for new roads in Virginia has hit a speed bump and a Hampton Roads man is in trouble for roughing up a city councilman's car. Those were two of the most clicked stories at the Virginia Public Access Project's VaNews link. VaNews is a free public service of the Virginia Public Access Project and can be found at vpap.org.

Monday's letters: Bringing positive change
Published: Monday, May 3, 2010 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, May 1, 2010 at 5:30 p.m.
I am the best choice for County Commission. I will bring positive change to Henderson County. Through proven leadership, I will return small-town values to big government. Residents and workers will be people, not numbers or sources of revenue. I will work to reduce the role of government in your lives in a manner that will preserve the progress of the past while diminishing the complexity and red tape of the present. I believe that there should be NO tax increases, especially in these troubled times.
The true facts about the Mills River water agreement are these: In 1994, we signed an enforceable, ironclad agreement allowing Asheville to build a water treatment plant at the confluence of the Mills and French Broad rivers to collect and treat unneeded, leftover water. The agreement was negotiated by the county manager, engineer and attorneys. There are no problems with the agreement that could not have been addressed during the past 12 years under Bill Moyer.
My leadership can be seen in the voter-approved $28,900,000 referendum, which allowed us to build and renovate several schools, and by the construction of the new courthouse, which was finished $1 million under budget and on time!
Mike Edney
Candidate for Henderson County Board of Commissioners

New Documents and Reports Confirm AT&T and NSA's Longstanding Surveillance Partnership
Please consider previous IMS blog entries on this topic:
danah boyd, a professor at Harvard University's Berkman Center for the Internet and Society, argues that teenagers closely scrutinize what they share online because it is a way for them to negotiate their changing identities. In her book, It's Complicated: The Social Lives of Networked Teens, she describes how teenagers carefully curate their feeds based on the audience they are trying to reach.
Adolescents have been migrating away from Facebook and Twitter over the last few years, showing preference for sites like Snapchat, Whisper, Kik, and Secret that provide more anonymity and privacy. Part of this transition can be explained by the fact that the older social media sites stopped being cool when parents joined them, but perhaps another reason could be that teenagers growing up in the post-Snowden era implicitly understand the value of anonymity. For teens, it's not a matter of which platform to use, but rather which works best in a particular context.
Right now in the U.S. it's essentially the case that when you post information online, you give up control of it.
Some companies may give you that right, but you don't have a natural, legal right to control your personal data. So if a company decides they want to sell it or market it or release it or change your privacy settings, they can do that.
The point is, we really don't know how this information will be used. For instance, say I'm a merchant — once I get information about you, I can use this information to try to extract more economic surplus from the transaction. I can price-discriminate you, so that I can get more out of the transaction than you will.
I'm interested in working in this area, not because disclosure is bad — human beings disclose all the time, it's an innate need as much as privacy is — but because we really don't know how this information will be used in the long run.

Nathan Cleverly Eager To Impress American Fans in LA
Nathan Cleverly is relishing the chance to impress American fight fans after his WBO light heavyweight title defence was switched to Los Angeles on November 10.
Cleverly was originally due to face Ukrainian Vyacheslav Uzelkov in Cardiff on October 27, but Golden Boy promotions have handed him a spot on a bill featuring WBC super-bantamweight champion Abner Mares and IBF bantamweight champion Leo Santa Cruz.
The Welshman is determined to enhance his reputation in the US and believes such a big stage will bring out the best of him.
"At only 25 it's a dream come true to defend my world title in America on such a big show and it takes my career to a whole new level, it's a golden opportunity to make a big statement that I'm the leading man in the light-heavyweight division," said Cleverly.
"It will be exciting and challenging to get the recognition of the American fans and media and prove to them that I'm the real thing.
"Of course, I love fighting and headlining in front of my Cardiff home fans, but this shows that I'm not scared to leave my home comforts and risk my title by putting it on the line in another country, that's what being a world champion is all about, I relish the challenge.
"It's a big test in my career, but I'm ready and won't be overawed. I think that this will give my performance a sharper edge because I'm not at home and the pressure to perform will be on me."

|Sedimentology 56(5): 1505-1534 (2009)
|Lake Estanya is a small (19 ha), freshwater to brackish, monomictic lake formed by the coalescence of two karstic sinkholes with maximum water depths of 12 and 20 m, located in the Pre-Pyrenean Ranges (North-eastern Spain). The lake is hydrologically closed and the water balance is controlled mostly by groundwater input and evaporation. Three main modern depositional sub-environments can be recognized as: (i) a carbonate-producing 'littoral platform'; (ii) a steep 'talus' dominated by reworking of littoral sediments and mass-wasting processes; and (iii) an 'offshore, distal area', seasonally affected by anoxia with fine-grained, clastic sediment deposition. A seismic survey identified up to 15 m thick sedimentary infill comprising: (i) a 'basal unit', seismically transparent and restricted to the depocentres of both sub-basins; (ii) an 'intermediate unit' characterized by continuous high-amplitude reflections; and (iii) an 'upper unit' with strong parallel reflectors. Several mass-wasting deposits occur in both sub-basins. Five sediment cores were analysed using sedimentological, microscopic, geochemical and physical techniques. The chronological model for the sediment sequence is based on 17 accelerator mass spectrometry 14C dates. Five depositional environments were characterized by their respective sedimentary facies associations. The depositional history of Lake Estanya during the last ca 21 kyr comprises five stages: (i) a brackish, shallow, calcite-producing lake during full glacial times (21 to 17·3 kyr bp); (ii) a saline, permanent, relatively deep lake during the late glacial (17·3 to 11·6 kyr bp); (iii) an ephemeral, saline lake and saline mudflat complex during the transition to the Holocene (11·6 to 9·4 kyr bp); (iv) a saline lake with gypsum-rich, laminated facies and abundant microbial mats punctuated by periods of more frequent flooding episodes and clastic-dominated deposition during the Holocene (9·4 to 0·8 kyr bp); and (v) a deep, freshwater to brackish lake with high clastic input during the last 800 years. Climate-driven hydrological fluctuations are the main internal control in the evolution of the lake during the last 21 kyr, affecting water salinity, lake-level changes and water stratification. However, external factors, such as karstic processes, clastic input and the occurrence of mass-flows, are also significant. The facies model defined for Lake Estanya is an essential tool for deciphering the main factors influencing lake deposition and to evaluate the most suitable proxies for lake level, climate and environmental reconstructions, and it is applicable to modern karstic lakes and to ancient lacustrine formations.

STAND-IN Crows skipper Patrick Dangerfield said his side would study the way Essendon dismantled Collingwood at the MCG yesterday in a bid to replicate it in their next game against the Magpies in a fortnight.
Dangerfield watched Essendon's 10-goal win on television and said Adelaide would learn from it before their Round 18 clash which could decide their season.
"I certainly watched the game on the weekend and there's things we can take out of that," Dangerfield said.
"It's a difficult one because we know they're (Collingwood) a quality side.
"I guess you take a bit out of what Essendon did in the way that they played, but at the same time we know they'll (Collingwood) respond so we'll have our work cut out for us next Sunday."
Adelaide recorded one of its biggest wins of the season against Collingwood at Adelaide Oval in Round 9 but after Friday night's loss to Hawthorn the Crows remain 10th and one game outside the top eight.
If the Crows beat Collingwood in their next game they can replace them in the eight, but whether stay there hinges on results of other games.
"We think about the games that we have left and even more specific Collingwood, and even magnifying that to the first quarter and for us as players the first contest that we're involved in," Dangerfield said.
"That's what we can control so that's what we worry about."
Players have been given Thursday to Sunday off in a mini-break before returning to prepare for their next game against Collingwood on July 27.
Dangerfield said the break came at a welcome time for players physically, but he said reports of him being battered and bruised every week had been "blown out of proportion" and he hasn't even been close to not getting up for a game this season.
"It will be nice to have the weekend off other than getting bashed around, but at the same time we've been in some pretty good form over the past month so it would have been nice to have kept that rolling," he said.
"But certainly it's a chance to recover a little bit.
"You get a niggle here and there most weeks ... but it's quite similar to last season and the season before that.
"I've had a bit of a dodgy ankle for the majority of the season so when you have that you might tweak it during the game.
"And when the amount of media coverage that each game has now, everything gets magnified and I think that's all it is."

I think I tried all the standard ways of turning off and on the one or the other, including custom effect in NGG and this in code window

In regards to: A Request a hearing on Family Bailout
Dear Congressional Leaders:
My name is Derrick S. Axxxx Sr. I am a victim of two counts of attempted murder and hit and run that occurred on 01/25/2005. Since my misfortune, I have been constantly trying to get justice for my wife and children as well as myself. I have been unemployed since 11/09/2005.
I applied for SSI and they denied me twice. Frustrated and tired of hearing more and more about fatal hit and run accidents, I decided to do something that will help others; I founded Dads Against Hit and Run Drivers or D.A.H.A.R.D. This is an organization geared toward hit and run victims that will assist them in getting their life back. Depending on their injuries, my organization will do all it can to insure they get what they should and regain employment.
I am writing to Congress, Senators and Representatives to change the laws when it comes to hit and run accidents by forcing insurance companies to honor legitimate claims and not use State loopholes to defraud policyholders as well as enforce laws when they are broken.
On January 25, 2005 at 5:34am, I called 911 to report a hit and run incident and later reported to Maryland State Trooper Ray Johnson, who took the case, the description of the man driving the car that hit my car. Later Trooper Ray Johnson falsified his report stating a woman, age 73, was the driver after his investigation showed that in fact the owner Mr. Reginald Emmanuel Hatten was the driver.
In a conversation with Trooper Ray Johnson on 08/30/2007, he informed me that he never got a statement from the woman on 08/07/2008. I told him that I was trying to get the Hattens charged with two counts of attempted murder. Trooper Ray Johnson, working out of Maryland State Police Aviation Command Norwood Section 16501 Norwood Road Sandy Spring, Maryland 20860, quit his job because he covered up two counts of attempted murder and failed to investigate my claims I feel because I am black.
In addition, State Farm Insurance Company needs to have their business licenses terminated and the Department of Justice should do a full investigation. I believe they should freeze State Farm's assets and do a thorough probe into their insurance practices. Congress needs to step up and be For the people, by the people not just Big Business. I am requesting a hearing to address this matter.

I had to move from California to Germany and I my car was part of the goods I had to ship. I started to look around to get prices. One offer came from Countrwide Transport. Pete Bilson sent me an offer saying that Countrywide Transport will ship my car from the port of Long Beach to Bremerhaven for $1,695.00 plus insurance. First he said that insurance would be 2.5% of declared value of the car.
In the meantime other companies sent me offers but Countrywide still was the best in terms of money. So, I decided to chose them.
I paid a deposit of $500 and then, after I calculated the value of my car, he said that shipping insurance now is 3.5% of declared value. That was the first suspicious issue. I asked why the insurance rate has been raised. There was no clear answer only the statement that this is the rate.
Then I received the information where I had to drop off my car. I contacted this company in Paramount, CA. At least here was everything ok. I drove down to the LA area and left my car over there and toke my flight to Germany.
In the meantime Countrywide sent me the final bill with the amount I still had to pay. I asked again regarding the insurance and I also asked them to send me a insurance policy or something like that. I never got it. Pete Bilson only sent me useless forms and statements that everything is ok. Then another guy, name is Daniel, sent me an email asking me why I am so suspicious. After a few emails back and forth I gave up.
Since I had to wire the money from Germany I asked them to give me some details that are necessary for international money transfer. They only kept sending me "details" I was not asking for and always saying that I have enough information to wire the money. They have no idea what BIC, SWIFT and IBAN is. After some research done by myself I wired the money end of January and I never heard anything back that they haven't received it. I assumed everything is ok.
End of February I got the message from the shipping comapny in Germany that my car has been arrived but it is still on hold. After some emails and phone calls it turned out that some money is still not paid. I called the shipping company in Paramount and the guy over there told me that I need to contact another comapy in San Diego. What? Another company?
Now 3 different comapnies in the US are involved. What a ridiculous chain. The lesson I learnt so far: Countrywide Transport is a neither a shipping nor a transport company. This company is only a middle man sucking money.
Well, then I called this 3rd company in San Diego and they lady on the phone told me that they are waiting for a payment from Countrwide Transport and therefore they can not give the final OK to have my car released. I sent an email to Countrywide asking for clarification. Bilson answered that everything has been paid and I should be able to pick up my car.
I went back to this San Diego campany and told them what the answer was. I also started to have all 3 involved comapnies in the email header. Then Bilson sent me an email back that this San Diego campny is holding back a payment. Then the lady from San Diego answered that this is not thru. She also worte that Countrywide always makes late payments and customers have to suffer quite often.
I should mention that this Daniel of Countrywide never answered any email. What a arrogant and ignorant !"$%&%$"!
In the meantime the company in Germany is charging me 8,00 parking fee for every single day. What a pain. I sent a more then clear email to Countrwide Transport and Bilson answered me that my friend Daniel is not at work and he will be back on Monday, 03/02/2009.
He asked me to give them time until Monday. My case will be the first they will work on. Ok, since I am a really nice guy I gave him another couple of days. On Monday I sent 3 emails to Countrywide asking what the status is. My friend Daniel was also in the email. No answer!
Today is Tuesday, 03/03/2009 and I still have no clue what the heck is going on. I only know that 8,00 are leaking out of my pocket every single day. Money for nothing.
Here is the summary: Whenever you have to move something and for some reason you will receive a offer from Countrywide Transport DO NOT take this offer. DO NOT take it even it is the cheapest one.They have NO idea how to treat customers right. They do their best to make it complicate and customers ending up with stupid stress. I really have to hold my self back to type the words that are actually flying around in my head.
Countrwide Transport: If you read this be informed that my next step to nail you down is already in preparation. The next step is to have the US Department of Transportation informed what kind of fraudulent and crap company you are. Be sure that I will be the pain in your butt until this issue has been soved.

Now, the one and only thing they have to do is to "complain" about my English. Doing what they got paid for seems not to be important anymore.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

WhatsApp for Android gets rich link previews, starred messages
WhatsApp users on iOS received an update earlier this month that added, among other things, rich previews for shared links. Android users didn't get an update, however, and a week rolled by without anything showing up. Fast-forward to yesterday, and those users finally received their own update, getting the same rich previews as well as a handful of other changes, one of which that is limited only to those running Android 6.0 and higher.

Anonymous hacker group really had a serious issue with Facebook for a long time. They repeatedly threatened the social network few months ago that they would take down the network very soon and most analysts claimed that its impossible for them to hack Facebook because the server system was too large. But just a couple of days ago things got a little out of hand when Facebook servers went down for more than 11 hours and all the people turned to the famous famous hacker group, putting the blame on them.
Everyone thought that Facebook went down for good, specially after seeing some tweets from the Anonymous Twitter account. Even the term 'RIP Facebook' started trending on top of Twitter. But after a while Facebook stated that they are back online and people can access the network again. That's when people started to blame on the hacker group for the attack. But recently they have released an statement saying that they are not responsible for this attack.
"This morning it was reported by many mainstream media outlets that Anonymous had attacked the servers of Facebook and caused interruptions in service in a number of countries. We have investigated these allegations and have found them utterly false and without basis." Anonymous explained in their statement
This has already caused a lot for Facebook specially its never great to have these kind of problems during the IPO stock exchange. After this attack Facebook stock went down -1.63 (-5.51%) to 27.97.

Jesuit Father Daniel Berrigan was a radical to the core. Today, it is harder to see that since the cause for which he was most noted - an end to war - has become the Church's cause. That, however, was not always the case, and it certainly was not the case during the Vietnam War. Few U.S. bishops denounced the war, the Knights of Columbus heartily endorsed it and the air was full of the misplaced patriotism of "My country, right or wrong."

The LEAP Manifesto written by some left-wing members of the federal New Democratic Party has been subjected to an outpouring of ridicule in the mainstream media and frenzied opposition from the Alberta NDP government. Yet, an unbiased reading of the manifesto would see it as a Canadian application of Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato Si' with a bit of Pope Benedict XVI's Caritas et Veritate thrown in for good measure.
The moral landscape for assisted suicide and euthanasia changed dramatically with the February 2015 Supreme Court of Canada decision which mandated Parliament to establish a law legalizing assisted suicide in Canada. Parliament has two basic choices: It can enact a law which establishes a process for assisted suicide or it could ignore the court ruling, thus allowing a free-for-all with no restrictions on assisted suicide.
Christopher Lasch, the American historian who was the first to describe contemporary culture as narcissist, titled his book on the family, Haven in a Heartless World. Sometimes, however, the family is not even that. The human condition being what it is, even the best families introduce dysfunction as well as wholeness into their children's lives. In some instances, one's family can be even more heartless than "the heartless world." It is no small contributor to the despair, lost potential and dis-ease that affect young people. St. John Paul II once said, as the family goes, so goes the society. The pope was correct. Yet, the opposite is also true - as society goes, so goes the family. The family is not a cocoon immune to the hurricane forces blowing through society and, thanks to mass media, right into the home.
The weakest form of argument is the ad hominem; you try to vanquish your debating opponent, not by discrediting his or her argument, but by attacking the person making the argument. For example, "Don't believe what Al Gore says about global warming; he's made millions from giving talks on the subject." Monroe Beardsley, in his classic logic textbook Thinking Straight, calls the ad hominem a "kind of emotional appeal that is very common." Although the ad hominem is a form of distraction, it can deter onlookers from accepting an opposing point of view.
The Panama Papers scandal has revealed - as if we did not already know - that the wealthy have different modus operandi than the rest of us poor sods. Those who labour for a salary or an hourly wage would find no benefit in setting up offshore shell companies to avoid paying taxes. One source of scandal in these revelations is that billionaires strenuously avoid paying taxes to the countries that make them wealthy. Do they have any sense of social responsibility?
The declaration by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry that atrocities being committed against Christians as well as Yezidis and other minorities in the Middle East amounts to genocide is a welcome recognition of the reality faced by millions of people in the region. The U.S. declaration, combined with a similar stance by the European Union, surely implies that the nations of the world must act effectively to halt the slaughter which is occurring.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has tried to claim the moral high ground for his decision to proceed with a $15-billion arms deal with the government of Saudi Arabia. Speaking to the United Nations March 15, Trudeau said the government must honour all contracts signed by the previous government whether it agrees with those contracts or not. It does not seem to matter to the prime minister that there is near-moral-certainty that the light armoured vehicles (aka, tanks) will be used in suppressing dissent and the human rights of the Saudi people.
St. Peter's speech on Pentecost to "men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem" is one of the most dramatic moments in the Acts of the Apostles (2.14-36). In the speech, Peter directly accuses his hearers of crucifying Jesus and then proclaims that God "raised him up." Hearing his speech, the men "were cut to the heart" and asked Peter how they could overcome their sin. "Repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins," Peter replied. That day, about 3,000 souls were baptized (2.37-41).
The cross is not only the toughest aspect of the Christian faith to accept, but also the most important. North American Christians, living in the most affluent time in history, may want to downplay the cross and hurry on to the resurrection. With the resurrection, those uncomfortable nails are no longer driven through the hands and feet, to say nothing of having to endure that scratchy crown of thorns. With the resurrection, one might even enjoy a margarita on the beach, if not a piece of fish.

Phillip Capshaw provides his own unique perspective on everything from local to world events and, as the blog title suggests, believes that nothing is funnier than observing the comical nature of our fellow man and especially Southern Oklahomans. Phillip is a native of Ardmore, Oklahoma, with varied interests who likes to poke fun at almost any group and occupation, but feels as if there is much to make fun of in passing the mirror everyday.
Hi! I'm Phillip and I'm a food hoarder and a penny pincher. It's been four days since my last food hoarding episode and over two weeks since I stopped traffic to pick up a two-cent aluminum can. I decided to clean out the meat drawer in the fridge. As many of you know, my frugality is legendary. I was almost physically sick when I started seeing all of the things I was throwing away. Let's not even mention the two unopened summer sausages from Fischers Meat Market in Muenster, Texas, and yes I did call them to ask how long past the sell-by date that it was still safe to eat.
As I told you, I'm thrifty, but apparently my hoarding overcomes my desire to not see anything go to waste. Had I realized it was there, I would have just let it go to my waist. I did feel a little better when my wife told me that we got it for Christmas. Still though, that's ten bucks worth of fine cuisine. By the way, if you happen to be the one that got us the sausage for Christmas and want to get us something similar this year, please mark it "Attention Phillip" and I promise I will eat it in one sitting just to make up for it.
Truth be told, my wife is a bigger food hoarder than I am. She is just not to the acceptance part yet. We threw out five meal replacement drinks last night that were past the "use by" date. I told her I thought we had a few more in the storage. She blamed me for having them out-of-sight. She couldn't really explain how the ones in the fridge had managed to sneak by her. You know that's another sign of an addict, unwillingness to accept responsibility. She didn't want a bite of my onion ring at lunch yesterday, but somehow figured she would like it reheated at some future date. So she threw it in her take home box. I think that is hoarding. I was about to ask the gentleman next to us if he minded me taking his barbecue sandwich with us since he had hardly taken a bite and there is certainly no sense in letting that be thrown out. I said I was about to ask until I saw my wife with the LOOK. You husbands know the look, the one that will keep buzzards off of fresh road kill. We have only been married two years. How can she read my mind?
