Respectfully, David and Gordon, I disagree. Finding the right answer in the
long run is more important than are ruffled feathers or trampled
sensibilities. Consider those organizations that find themselves stuck in
flawed apologetics where members and former members suffer from
disillusionment, and some leave the Christian faith altogether. Who would
depart this list, even with all our occasional verbal harangues, and become
an atheist or agnostic?
Truth has an importance for its own sake, but if in addition it can advance
the gospel message then let's continue our search for it and put aside our
petty personal grievances. I have spent a ton of energy and am prepared to
invest more just to be a voice for correcting our out-of-date methods of
reconciling Bible and science. If one can't take the heat ., and you know
the rest of that quote.

Thank you. I totally agree.
I find myself wishing the folks on the ASA list would champion the Bill of
Rights more often. Or the principles thereof, or the spirit thereof.
Instead what I've seen is "lets find the right answer" followed by "lets
bash everybody who doesn't have the right answer".
David Opderbeck gave me hope that he was at least one person who
recognized that preserving civil liberties and freedom of thought is more
important than arriving at any sort of correct theological viewpoint. I
think a civil libertarian would oppose shoving a theological viewpoint down
the throats of the masses. I see an attitude of intolerance on the list. I
felt David Opderbeck worked against that, and was refreshing. The ASA as
an organization must promote tolerance.

I will miss your contributions, David. My views are usually closer to yours
than to those of many others on this list. I wish we had a diversity on this
list that is more typical of the ASA in general. I don't think that this
list represents a typical cross section of ASA membership, and when someone
who thinks he represents a minority view on the list leaves, the imbalance
becomes worse.
Concerning my impressions of the general ASA membership, I think that there
are many who are not passionate about the origins issue and have other
scientific interests that relate to their faith. It also appears that there
are a number of participants on this list who are not members of the ASA. A
nonmember who joins the list may think that he or she is the only outsider
on the list and judges the ASA by what is said on the list. I wonder how
many might be discouraged from joining because of this seeming lack of

The recent discussion on this list about embryonic stem cell research has
finally pushed me over the edge. I'm tired of being belittled, ridiculed,
subjected to ad hominems, etc. every time I express an opinion that bears
even a whiff of a "conservative" or "traditional" approach to a Christian
worldview. I'm exhausted of having to defend the position that the Bible
really does communicate truth about human history and the human condition in
some meaningful sense. I'm sick of the culture of suspicion and scoffing
that runs through our discourse. I need to break from the anger, arrogance,
and self-indulgence of the flame wars that characterize this space.
In the past, I've defended the ASA and this email list against attacks by
various ID folks and others. I still don't think that all of the criticisms
that have been levied against the ASA by those folks are fair. However, I
think they are right that the ASA, particularly as characterized by this
list, is hobbled by some kind of myopia. Yes, I know this list isn't
representative of the ASA in an absolute sense, but it's an ASA-sponsored
public discussion space, which is often a travesty. I've wasted too much
time on it, and it's become spiritually not only unproductive, but a
liability. Via con Dios.

GOLDEN VALLEY, Minnesota (Reuters) - U.S. Congressional action to fix the long-run federal budget by raising taxes or shrinking spending could hurt the recovery if the fixes go into effect over the short term, a top Federal Reserve official said on Tuesday.
The decision to allow payroll taxes to rise this year already puts downward pressure on the economy, Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank President Narayana Kocherlakota told the Financial Planning Association of Minnesota.
If Congress takes further steps to reduce fiscal imbalances in 2013 and 2014, "it will make my job harder," Kocherlakota said.

Michael Nitschinger has a new post to his site today showing how to implement Couchbase as a storage mechanism for your session information (including some handy extra features).
What do I mean by flexible? Well, the combination of a highly scalable key-value store and the possibility to query your data through views allows you to gain unique insight inside your data in near realtime. [...] Let's look at some obstacles that we as application developers face and then see how we may solve them through Couchbase and its functionality.
He talks about some of the options to track user sessions (both on the server and client side) including PHP's sessions, HTML5 data storage and memcache. He covers some of the most basic session tracking needs and shows how to use the CouchBase extension to work with and setting some key/value combinations for user sessions. He shows how to query these data structures (JSON data) and filter to find only the records needed

I Graduated College With Over $14,000 In Debt… Horrible Credit… And No Where To Turn…
Hi, my name is Chris B.
And when I say I had horrible credit... I mean it.
Like millions of hard-working Americans... struggling to get by, I was getting denied for credit everywhere I turned.
Yes, part of it was my fault, but the credit card approvals came so fast I couldn't resist.
It started back in college when I got my first credit card. Like many young people, I quickly racked up over $14,000.00 in student loans and credit card debt.
Not to mention, I barely had any income, so I was missing payments left and right.
Within a few short months – my credit was completely destroyed... it went all the way down to 520.
No matter what I tried my debt was growing and my credit score kept plummeting.
But when my car broke down and I couldn't even use a credit card to pay for the repairs, I knew I had to do something.
It's embarrassing when your car sits in the shop for 3 days until you can scrounge up the cash to pay for it.
That was the final straw, I realized that…
My Credit Wasn't Going To Fix Itself… I Had To Do Something…
It was then that I realized only I could take charge of my credit and get it fixed…
The first thing I did was try a so-called "professional" credit repair agency, but…
They Simply Took My Money And Didn't Help Me One Bit…
Perhaps you've had the same luck with them…
In fact, not long after I signed on the dotted line with a company that was supposed to help me... I saw an article quoting Eileen Harrington, Deputy Director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection...
Here's what she said…
Geez, I wish I knew that before I flushed $400 down the drain.
Right there and then, I decided to take my credit problems into my own hands.
I screwed it up, and I was determined to make things right…
So I started researching credit repair, fixing credit, getting better credit… all the stuff that I thought would help me figure it out.
I literally had hundreds of pages of tips and strategies printed out all over my apartment.
I felt like a detective trying to solve a mystery… and after countless hours trying to figure out how the credit system worked...
…I began to find buzz-words, catch phrases and dirty little secrets that got the credit bureaus to take action… So much action that my credit score improved by 135 points – and only cost me a few bucks on stamps…
When all was said and done…
In Just 37 days, I Deleted 9Inquiries,
5 Late-Pays, 4 Charge-Off Accounts,
1 Judgment… And Boosted My
Score 135 Points!
Take a look at my actual scanned copies of my credit reports on the right.
I'm sharing these pictures with you as actual proof that my system works. It's the real deal.
I started with a score of 520 and 37 days later… my score was a 655! (It's now way over 700.)
And I'm certainly not any smarter than you. Ask Mr. Guerra, my high school wrestling coach, he'll tell you that.
I just took some time to figure out how the "credit system" works… but once I did - I developed a simple system that anyone can use…
One that can remove negative items, inquiries, judgments, and bankruptcies from your credit report fast.
Just think…
By Acting Now And Choosing The 37 Days To Clean Credit System You Have Singled Yourself Out From The Crowd…
And You're About To Get The Credit
Boost You Need!
This system is so simple - a 5th grader could use it. In fact, all you really need to know is how to copy and paste.
Yes, it really is that simple.
But don't just take my word for it. Many everyday people (just like you and me) are discovering how simple and effective this system is…
Here's What They're Saying, In Their Own Words
"Just Follow Chris' Steps!"
"Chris, man I was skeptical... But a couple bucks one time vs. a certain Credit Repair Law Firm 40 bucks a month.
It was a no-brainer. If your program didn't work I could always get my money back. So here we are 38 days later.
I've included the screen shots for proof. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!!

I am confident you can put my simple methods to work, and get a BIG boost to your credit score within days.
Here's why…
It Really Is As Easy As 1,2,3
In a nutshell, the system works like this …
|Step 1:
|Get a copy of your credit report - FREE - from a nifty little website that I'll tell you.
|Step 2:
|Enter Your Name, Address, and Negative Credit Accounts onto the template I provide you.
|Step 3:
|Mail the letters.
I guess you could say there is a "step 4."
But that's just the sound of deletion letters landing in your mailbox and your credit scoring soaring just a few days from now…. Seriously, you'll start getting these amazing "Negative Item Deletion Letters" from the credit bureaus within days and your credit score will get a nice boost.
I guarantee it!
It's a great feeling, you'll see what I mean soon enough.
Here's the thing, if the credit bureaus try to play hardball with you (and every once and a while they do) I'll provide you with follow-up letters that'll make them wish they never messed with you.
It really is that easy.
I'll tell you this with 100% honesty: There's absolutely no reason you should drop big bucks for professional credit repair agencies. You can use the methods and information I uncovered to boost your credit – just like I did - practically free!

Former government employees can make great private sector employees but they need extra attention
How many of us have witnessed companies, especially smaller-sized firms, hiring a former government employee to 'open doors'? I have observed this situation a number of times and observed rare success for both parties.
These people are often told, in more elegant terms, to "open doors" or "go find new business" or "find out about that new large procurement" by a senior manager in the company. This is interesting given that many of the people I met from the government, in these situations, had been career employees who had never worked in a company that was highly focused on revenue and profit each month.
Let me be clear – there are many senior government employees who are smart, well-educated and who have relevant industry experience. Plus, some government employees have an affinity for business development and some do not… just like in industry.
When government employees who have minimal industry experience, if any, and no business development framework are hired, how will they be measured as being successful? How will they actually contribute to the success of their new employer?
I have observed these senior people being brought into the company and provided no business development process training; after all they are senior people and by definition supposed to know stuff. Besides, don't be ridiculous, they know the agency better than anyone else. Neither do they receive formal mentoring from a senior executive in the company after all they are senior and know stuff.
What happens after 6 months when they have not really opened doors that are important to the company's objectives or generated plausible new business leads? Candidly, what is the company's plan for these people?
Some industry executives have not thought through this eventuality. Government employees experience high churn these days just like industry. One industry survey, conducted in 2012, suggests that this churn in government exceeds 40 percent per year.
Government employees retire, receive promotions, transfer laterally and increasingly are given short- and long-term, fire-fighting assignments by their management. This means that the former senior government employee you hired to open doors within his/her former agency has a high-probability that key members of their personal network will not be there after 6 months.
What will the company do with this person as this situation evolves?
The company must have a Plan B.
Questions need to be asked and discussed candidly before the former government employee is hired, notwithstanding procurement integrity regulations. How will this person interact with the company's business development function? Will they be provided business development training so that they understand the process and how they may contribute to the BD process?
Will they be assigned a formal company mentor, a senior executive, to guide them through "business issues" from the company's perspective? What will be their measures of success? Has their role and purpose been explained to company employees? How will this person's government experience and agency knowledge inform the company's strategic plan?
Someone once said that, "former government employees, newly hired by industry, are ready for the business environment when they reach their second company. They spend the first industry job learning business."
This is a poor reflection on our industry.

I agree with the author, and this is more so for the Small Business Owner. The bottom-line, is that the most critical aspect of selling to the Government is the understanding of the customer. This relationship understanding will not happen until you win work. After you win work, then, and only then can you grapple with the many nuances that make the business development skills successful. I own my business, however I lead all business development as a small business owner of multiple small businesses, and the team that works with me on sales, proposals, and business development.
While I can see a certain amount of truth here, the writer seems to assume both industry and government seniors are just downright stupid. I was hired to do BD by a company when I retired from the USAF. While the company did want somebody who knew the military, what they really wanted was somebody who could elicit then translate requirements from milspeak to industry speak. This alone was a daunting task because at the component level (the company that hired me was a supercomputer vendor)the military tended (in the mid-90's when I retired) to assign neophytes who did a poor job of listing requirements. Overall the BD position to which I was hired worked to the benefit of the company and myself. I urge you to be careful when making what I feel are broad generalizations to the detriment of both military and industry.
The private sector is totally different than the government or military service environment. Successful GS'ers or officers have little or nor transition period to adjust to life in the contractor's world where revenue is king! Know before hand what is expected and the time frame to measure success. Select wisely on both parties!
SPMAyor maybe did the right thing, because most former govt emps have little sense of business and, forgive me, often don't know how to work hard. Further, have known many who took about a year to stop meaning the govt when s/he said "we." I agree that most are failures. However, they willingly went along with these deals. The problem then becomes will their new employer have the cojones to fire these poor souls, thereby pissing off others still in the governmint.
Bob had made some excellent points. Industry's predisposition to bring in those with 'stars,bars and stripes' as immediate or near term 'rainmakers'is more often than not a failure and a discredit to the accomplishments and skills of those hired. While I consider my own career in industry a modest success it was because I accepted a position that was not revenue based but matched to the skills and abilities I possessed. All too often 'new hire govvies' are bedazzled by the descriptive opportunities of possible money to be made and fame to be had. The transition is more difficult than imagined, the money less assured than assumed & presumed and the consequences of falling short more immediate and drastic than realized.

Pearl Jam Announce New Album 'Lightning Bolt' and Unleash First Single 'Mind Your Manners'
The last week has likely felt like the equivalent of Christmas for Pearl Jam fans, first with the band announcing a fall 2013 North American tour run, and now just days later, as a second countdown on their website expired, Pearl Jam have thrilled fans with a brand new single called 'Mind Your Manners.'
The aggressive track 'Mind Your Manners' is a full-on rocker featuring singer Eddie Vedder delivering some fast-paced verses over some scorching riffs. The best news is that the first single serves as just the beginning of new Pearl Jam tunes on the horizon. Their new disc 'Lightning Bolt' makes its official debut on Oct. 15.
'Lightning Bolt' marks Pearl Jam's tenth studio album and was produced by Brandon O'Brien. Pre-order information went up on the official Pearl Jam website today with a variety of options available from digital download to vinyl. The band also also shared a little studio action in the teaser clip below.
Their upcoming tour will kick off just days before the release of 'Lightning Bolt' with the first show on Oct. 11 in Pittsburgh, Pa., with dates currently running through the beginning of December before wrapping up in Seattle, Wash.

Anyone who has attended a Major League Baseball game in the past decade has probably seen a "Kiss Cam" where couples throughout the ballpark are featured locking lips on the big-screen JumboTrons.
But controversy over ballpark kissing erupted at Safeco Field in Seattle this week when a same-sex couple claimed they were discriminated against because of their sexual orientation, which stadium officials deny.
Sirbrina Guerrero, 23, says she and her partner, who requested anonymity, were just "exchanging pecks," not acting any differently than heterosexual couples at the game, when park officials told them to stop "making out" or leave the facility.
"We were acting the same as any other dates that were out there, except we were a lesbian couple," she said. "When you bring a date to a game, you kiss once in a while. But it's not like we were making out. We were just kissing as regular couples do. I would never make out with anyone at a baseball game."
Stadium officials are investigating the incident, but Safeco Field's code of conduct includes a provision stating that "staff will proactively intervene to support an environment where guests can enjoy the Safeco Field experience free from unacceptable behavior, including … displays of affection not appropriate in a family setting."
Guerrero claims that Safeco failed initially to clarify what affection was "not appropriate," but eventually told her that policy prohibits any public displays of affection, which, in this case, was not shown on the big screen.
"They have a policy that says you can't be conducting in that behavior, but honestly, the Mariners stadium has a kissing camera," Guerrero said. "So I don't understand how they would say you're not allowed to show public affection when they're blasting it across the stadium."
In a crowd of 30,000 people, Guerrero wonders how only one couple were reprimanded for displaying affection.
When asked whether she believes Safeco officials singled her and her partner out solely because they were a same-sex couple, Guerrero said, "Absolutely. Otherwise I wouldn't be so upset about it."
Since the Monday night incident, Guerrero and her partner have filed a formal discrimination complaint against Safeco Field.
"Washington state law says that you cannot be discriminated against, even as same-sex couples at a public event," she said. "And we were. Everyone I've talked to is really upset, because they know it was wrong and they don't agree with the way it was handled."
Washington passed a law in 2006 that specifically bans discrimination of same-sex couples in any public setting.
Rebecca Hale, the Seattle Mariners' director of public information, denies that the couple were singled out because of their gender or sexual orientation.
"We're trying to figure out the actual behavior that happened; it has nothing to do with the individual," Hale said. "We're taking the claim very seriously, but we're trying to talk to everybody and ascertain exactly what happened, and then we will be able to make a decision on how to proceed."
Stadium personnel intervened because of a specific complaint from a mother and her son, Hale said.
"They were responding to a complaint from a fan who thought there was an inappropriate display of affection; there was no subjective singling out by the stadium," Hale said. "We take both parties' concerns seriously, but we can't really say anything because we are still investigating exactly what happened. But I do know that we have a policy in place that is meant to be welcoming to all fans, so all fans can enjoy their experience, regardless of race, sexual orientation, physical ability, etc."
The discrimination claim by Guerrero is not the first time Safeco Field has been at the center of same-sex controversy. In 2004, the stadium was the site of a "MAYDAY for Marriage" rally, in which more than 20,000 people turned out to protest same-sex unions.
Julie Oleson, 25, who, along with several other lesbians, was attending the game with Guerrero, said the rally surfaced in her mind immediately.
"It definitely popped into my head, but I'm from Seattle, and there's an anti-discrimination law. It was still very surprising," Oleson said. "The fact that we were approached and singled out at a baseball game …… it was all frustrating. We were enjoying our $10 tickets like everybody else in the nosebleeds."
Oleson, who spoke to the guest services supervisor when the situation between Guerrero and stadium officials continued to escalate, has been equally frustrated with Safeco's handling of the incident since it occurred.
"After the situation escalated and I had had enough, I went to the security captain," Oleson said. "He actually instead was like, 'Is this just kissing? Oh, this is no big deal, just go back to your seats and enjoy the game.' So first it was a problem, then it wasn't problem. It seemed like the supervisor just tried to sweep it under the rug like nothing happened, I guess hoping we would just let it go."
Guerrero and Oleson have spoken to Safeco officials once since the game.
"I talked with a rep from the Mariners who was looking for more clarification," Oleson said. "She gave an apology, but it was hard to figure out who she was apologizing for, like what was behind it, since she didn't say they did anything wrong. I still haven't gotten a definition of what 'inappropriate behavior' is, but I would like to go to a place where it didn't matter."
Melissa Benites, 25, a friend who attended the game with Guerrero, said the couple filed a formal complaint because it was a chance to make a statement for a greater cause.
"It could have been a situation where we just let it go like it wasn't a big deal, but we felt we needed to stand up for ourselves and more importantly, other same-sex couples."
Guerrero, who has appeared on the popular MTV reality show "A Shot at Love 2 With Tila Tequila," agreed. "This is definitely a greater cause," she said. "I'm a firm believer in equal rights, and I want everyone to know what happened to me so it doesn't happen to them in the future."
The results of Safeco's investigation are still to come but the specific behavior will be the deciding factor, said Mariners spokeswoman Hale, questioning whether the couple were only "pecking."
"I've talked to one girl who we asked to characterize the level of behavior, and she admitted it was affectionate kissing," Hale said. "Now I don't know what that means, but it says to me it was something more than just an innocent kiss. All I can say is that we're still investigating and talking to all parties involved."
The women are still considering their legal options, but have said they will be wary of returning to Safeco Field.
"I've been out for six years and nothing like this has ever happened," Guerrero said. "But it's not the Mariners, it's Safeco. I haven't even received an apology from them or any kind of contact at all."

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that the iPad Mini with Retina Display sales launch may be one of the most product-constrained to date for Apple.
The prevailing wisdom is that Apple can't get enough displays. There are enough credible analysts -- some speaking with CNET -- and reports that it's likely to be true.
Even CEO Tim Cook sounded less-than-optimistic about the new Mini when he said last month that "it's unclear whether we'll have enough for the quarter or not."
In other words, it's more than just a convenient reason for Apple to stagger the release of the iPad Air and iPad Mini Retina.
But that actually isn't a terrible strategy -- however unintentional. Launch both the iPad Air and iPad Mini Retina (the latter with hypothetical plentiful supply) at the same time, and the $399 Mini could bury the $499 Air, relegating it quickly to an also-ran.
After all, the Mini has been doing just that: killing off the iPad 4.
So, here's one possible scenario: Apple announces later this month that it will make the new Mini available for orders. But, as expected, there are too few to go around. Meanwhile, the iPad Air, by comparison, is readily available.
Related stories
So, Apple is able to partially satisfy a long-standing hunger for an iPad Mini Retina (consumers and analysts would howl in protest if it didn't), but it can also continue to nudge consumers who can't get one because of limited supply to the potentially less-popular iPad Air: "Hey, if you want a thin, light, Retina iPad right now, there's always the Air."
And that's not a bad argument. I've been using the iPad Air since last Friday, when it went on sale. Though the iPad Air moniker may be a slight misnomer (the Mini is the real "Air"), the iPad Air does narrow the wide size-weight gulf that existed between the iPad 4 and the iPad Mini.
Before the iPad Air, jumping from the iPad Mini to the iPad 4 was a little like jumping out of a Ford Fiesta into a Super Duty F-350 Ford pick-up (an exaggerated car analogy, but you get the idea).
So, I'll stick with my prediction about the iPad Mini Retina, but the iPad Air does make the wait a lot less painful.

Kinche is a very common Ethiopian breakfast food, their equivalent of oatmeal, if you will. It's incredibly simple, inexpensive, and nutritious. It is made from cracked wheat, which you can find in any grocery store. You can boil it in either milk, or part milk/part water. And in Ethiopia, after the kinche is cooked it is mixed in the pan with niter qibe (clarified spiced butter) or oil and fried onions. Personally, I skip that step, but only because I make the kinche the day beforehand and Adam heats it up for the kids in the morning. Very un-Ethiopian of us, from both a culinary and gender-role perspective, but I am literally never conscious while the kids are eating breakfast and Adam is kind enough to get up and feed them in my absence, but won't do much more than make toast or heat milk in the microwave. So the kinche with fried onions and qibe is out. But the kids still eat it and like it. I bet your Ethiopian kids will, too.
3/4 cup cracked wheat
3 cups milk (or some combination of milk and water)
niter qibe OR oil and finely chopped onions
salt, to taste
Heat the milk and add the cracked wheat. Cook on low or low-medium heat, stirring frequently, until the wheat is cooked, about 20-30 minutes.
If using qibe: heat the qibe and stir the kinche to mix thoroughly. Salt to taste.
If using oil and onions: fry the onions in the oil. Stir in the kinche and salt to taste.

FactCheck.org called out Senator Harry Reid for being doubly wrong in his claim that Congress has already cut $2.6 trillion from projected future deficits by reducing non-defense programs alone.
The site explained that not only did the legislation he referred to applied to both security and non-security spending, but that a considerable part of the deficit reduction came from tax increases and not spending cuts.
The worst part? The senator made the same erroneous statement twice. Reid made the affirmations on ABC's "This Week" on Feb. 3rd, were he also added that further deficit reduction should include more tax increases and cuts in military spending.
"The American people need to understand that it's not as if we've done nothing for the debt. $2.6 trillion, $2.6 trillion already we've made in cuts. And all those cuts have come from non-defense programs. We need to keep our eye on the prize and continue doing something about spending, but I think that what we need to do is do some of the things that Mitt Romney talked about. He said there's some low-hanging fruit; there are a lot of tax loopholes that should be closed. I agree with him. We haven't done that.," he said.
Later on, after host George Stephanopoulos probed the Senator on the issue, he repeated his claim saying,
"I repeat: $2.6 trillion already, all coming from non-defense. If we're going to have a sequester, defense is going to have to do their share"
According to FactCheck.org Reid inflated the $2.6 trillion figure for the show. The senator referred to the same figure as being $100 billion less, three days before on the Senate Floor.
"We have already made nearly $2.5 trillion in historic, bipartisan deficit reduction," he said on the floor Jan. 31.

Submitted by rc-admin on
A reminder that NASSR 2004: "ROMANTIC COSMOPOLITANISM," will be held in
Boulder, Colorado, SEPTEMBER 9-12, 2004. PLEASE REGISTER EARLY:
We are delighted to announce the upcoming NASSR 2004 conference to be held 9-12 September 2004 at the Millennium Hotel in beautiful and sublime Boulder, at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. Many thanks to those of you who submitted proposals (you should have heard from us by now; if not, please contact us). Participants can look forward to four days of intellectually stimulating ideas and discussions and to splendid plenaries by Ann Bermingham (Santa Barbara), Angela Esterhammer (Western Ontario), and David Simpson (Davis).
The theme of our conference, Romantic Cosmopolitanism, provides an opportunity to query our period from the perspectives of the international, the global, the cosmic, the worldly, and the sophisticated. The term expands upon certain notions of region and place that some would deem central to the aesthetics and politics of Romanticism. It also invites us to think about alternatives to more typical moves to organize Romantic culture either around individuals or nation-states.
There are several exciting features of NASSR 2004 we would like to tell you about. These opportunities are available to anyone who would like to participate in the conference, regardless of whether you are giving a paper.
* First, we will be hosting two pre-conference seminars on September 8th: one, organized by Neil Fraistat, on Editing Romantic Texts with Neil Fraistat, Steven E. Jones, and Jerome McGann, a discussion of current editing projects by participants, and a roundtable discussion with prospective publishers: Linda Bree (Cambridge University Press), Marilyn Gaull (Palgrave Press), Julia Gaunce (Broadview press), Jerome McGann (Nines), and Fraistat and Jones (Romantic Circles).
Another pre-conference seminar on the "Import Of Romantic Drama" is being organized by Tom Crochunis, Catherine Burroughs, Alex Dick, and Michael Eberle-Sinatra. It will include a hands-on performance workshop conducted by Gilli Bush-Bailey and Jacky Bratton as well as plenary papers by Tracy Davis and Michael Gamer, and a panel on current projects on romantic drama and theater. If you wish to sign up for these, please look for registration information (forthcoming) on the NASSR 2004 website.
* * Second, for those not giving papers as well as those who are, we will be including 12 discussion workshops on September 10th and 11th run by the following scholars: James Chandler; Lisa Plummer Crafton; Thomas Crochunis, Elizabeth Fay; Denise Gigante; Theresa Kelley; Dennis Low; Jerome McGann; Brad Mudge; Nanora Sweet and Julie Melnyk; Anne Wallace and Tony Harrison; and Joshua Wilner. These workshop leaders will guide an intensive group discussion of specific Romantic texts and their implications. For more information on titles and how to register, please go to the NASSR 2004 website.
* * * Third, special session leaders include Joselyn Almeida Beveridge, Julie Carlson, David Clark, Lilla Maria Crisafulli, Dino Felluga, Ann Gardiner, Marilyn Gaull, Gary Harrison, Diane Long Hoeveler, Jerrold Hogle, Celeste Langan, Nigel Leask, Susan Manning, Jane Moody, Timothy Morton, Jan Plug, Tilottama Rajan, Gillen Wood, Paul Youngquist
* * * * Fourth, we will have fun: at the banquet there will be a performance by the Ron Paris Band, presenting "Sweet Soul Music," followed by dancing. There will also be opportunities to walk on Boulder's gorgeous mountain trails in the mornings.
Graduate Students: The NASSR 2004 organizing committee is pleased to announce that there will be prizes awarded for the best papers presented at the conference by graduate students who are current NASSR members. Travel Bursaries are also available. For more information, please go to the Nassr 2004 website.
We look forward to seeing you in September!
With all best wishes,

The accused are suspected of:
Other: Bigotry
Game number(s):
Game 12058753
In this game, Lindax made several derogatory and prejudiced comments about the other players nationality, and dared anyone to report him, saying out loud that he would get away with it and bragging about it:
About yellow:
2012-12-10 18:03:53 - Lindax: Oh shit, he's Taliban
2012-12-10 18:04:11 - Lindax: Didn't knwo they allowed them on CC
2012-12-10 18:04:32 - Lindax: No wonder he doesn't have a fucking clue
2012-12-10 18:10:50 - maxfaraday: are yellow and orange from the same country? i can't read walls
2012-12-10 18:11:28 - Lindax: nope, one is Pakistan (ffs) and the other is the UK
About blue:
2012-12-10 18:38:21 - Lindax: I'm glad to see our Greek leech is playing intelligent
2012-12-10 18:38:53 - Lindax: gonna be a sitting duck with 5 cards, what a moron
2012-12-10 18:40:04 - Lindax: To lazy to work, to stupid to run their country, too stupid to play a simple game
2012-12-10 18:42:46 - Lindax: And let's face it, the Greeks deserve it
(note: Greece is in deep shit, this country is probably doomed, their economy will never recover and the rest of Europe blame the Greeks for their own economic problems. Greece is basically seen as a burden that we should get rid of, and even if Lindax' profile says he from Mexico, he's Dutch and knew full well what he was saying. It makes me think of how Europe (not only Germany) used to blame the Jews for everything before WW2. I know that this analogy is a bit extreme, but it's not irrelevant.). When he says "Greek leech", is talking about the other European countries lending money to Greece to save the country, money that Greece will never give back.
About how he'll get away with it:
2012-12-10 18:44:10 - Lindax: Thatwill not be punished
2012-12-10 18:44:47 - Lindax: Please try and report it
2012-12-10 18:46:10 - Lindax: I know how far I can go
2012-12-10 18:47:22 - Lindax: give it a try | (this was his answer when I tried to warn him and told him to stop because he may be in trouble if someone reports him)
2012-12-10 18:48:48 - Lindax: bring it on |
The bigotry is obvious with yellow (religion), and I think it's bigotry too with blue.

Office & Business Wear
Office and business uniforms, for the vast majority of organisations, used to mean the formality of a shirt and tie or tailored business suit. Times have changed, however, and many businesses now seek a more informal and relaxed look, which allows their staff to concentrate on work at the same time as playing a part in corporate branding.
We provide office work wear, branded business clothing and business polo shirts which meet all of these criteria. The garments we sell are manufactured to the highest quality by leading brands and the technology and expertise we utilise means that items such as our logo t shirts for business look stunning and are extremely easy to order.
Once you've selected the garments to kit out your workforce you simply have to upload the image or logo which you want to have printed onto them. Whether you opt for silk screen printing, digital printing or embroidery, the results will last as long as the garments themselves.
Order today and give your staff branded business clothing that will make your business stand out from the competition.

A Different Model For Touring: House Concerts
from the watch-the-innovation deptWe recently posted a report pointing out that touring revenue wouldn't be an acceptable substitute for a loss in recorded music sales. A part of that report suggested that there just weren't that many efficiencies that could be wrung out of the live touring business, while also noting how expensive it can be to put on a tour. Part of my problem with that report was that it focused very much on an old model of touring, and didn't consider that new technologies could, in fact, really change the way people think about touring.
For example, plenty of folks have pointed to the success Jonathan Coulton has had with touring, by using services like Eventful to guarantee a large enough crowd at a certain location and showing up for a "strategic" concert in a place where he's guaranteed to make some money out of it. But some are taking it even further. We've certainly talked about backyard/house concerts before (in fact, we've been suggesting them for about six years), and we've seen Jill Sobule use them as part of her model to fund her latest album. She ended up doing five or six of them, and said they were lots of fun (and she's still open to doing some more).
However, I recently came across a story from a band who basically did an an entire tour based on (mostly) house concerts. The story is from February, but I just found out about it, seeing it mentioned in the comments on a post from Andrew Dubber about how he wants to attempt house consulting for bands (an interesting idea in itself).
The story of the house concerts tour is really fascinating, though, in a variety of ways. Basically, the band -- based in the UK -- were able to book a bunch of gigs all at people's homes around the US. They did most of the booking via Twitter, from people who followed them, noting how much more efficient this was than the traditional system of begging different venues to put on a show:
Method for our tour: "talk to lots of people on twitter >> make friends >> allow them to discover music as they get interested in who we are >> tell them we're touring >> invite them to host gig >> Book in the dates" - the audience is a shoe-in, cos most people can fairly easily find 15-30 friends who are up for a crazy night of music making in a house. It's a nuts idea, it's fun, and it has the added benefit of being validated by a friend of their's... if Tracy/Linda/Angela/Steve/Gus etc are willing to book this, it MUST be good. The person who books the show then emails the links to what we do around (no need to send out CDs) so people have an idea what to expect. Everyone comes to the gig, eats, listens, buys CDs, and we go home with money and loads of new friends. Win-Win.Other benefits were that the gigs were tons of fun and the band saved on hotels since they usually were able to crash at the house that put on the house concert. They note how many amazing people they met, and how much of a connection they made with folks by playing in such an intimate setting. Also, an advantage of such house concerts is that it was a great way to expand their audience and fanbase, since the "host" basically would go out and recruit a bunch of friends -- most of whom knew nothing about the band before seeing them play.
Perhaps most interesting of all: the band made more money on this tour than they did in the past touring clubs. They noted that the "risk" and costs are much lower. While they say they aren't getting rich this way, they are earning money -- and more than the "old" way of doing things.
So, once again, this obviously isn't a model that works for everyone -- and no one's saying it is. But it does show yet another business model that can work for certain bands, by taking a very different look at the market and coming up with creative and innovative ways to get themselves out there, and do so profitably.

The Hard Road hardware will be up for grabs Friday, Aug. 30, when Worthington Kilbourne plays at Dublin Scioto in the first week of the high school football season.
The Hard Road hardware will be up for grabs Friday, Aug. 30, when Worthington Kilbourne plays at Dublin Scioto in the first week of the high school football season.
It marks the first time in the 19-year history of the "Battle of Hard Road" series that the teams will play in week one.
The switch was necessitated by Kilbourne's move from the OCC-Cardinal Division to the OCC-Capital. Scioto remains in the OCC-Cardinal, which added Canal Winchester to replace the Wolves.
Scioto won 24-7 last year in the regular-season finale, its third consecutive win in the series.
"This group of seniors doesn't want to make it through their careers never having their hands on the trophy. Scioto definitely has our attention," said Kilbourne coach Vince Trombetti, whose team finished 3-7 last season. "It's strange with it being the first game this year and then we have Thomas (Worthington) the second game, so we've got two huge rivals in the first two weeks. We've got to be ready to go."
The Irish finished 8-3 last season after losing to Olentangy 21-17 in the first round of the Division I, Region 3 playoffs. However, Scioto lost 25 players to graduation, including quarterback Evan DeMars, who set program records for yards passing (5,658) and touchdown passes (43).
Scioto also lost receiver Tim Shadoan, who shared OCC-Cardinal Player of the Year honors after catching a program-record 81 passes for 1,007 yards and nine touchdowns, and fullback William Houston, who rushed for 1,151 yards and 12 touchdowns.
Like Kilbourne, the Irish also open with back-to-back rivals, as they play at Dublin Coffman on Sept. 6.
"It doesn't get any better than this week-one Battle of Hard Road," Scioto coach Karl Johnson said. "New we need to focus on the task at hand every day in practice.
"Friday will get here. We need to be ready."
Taking over at quarterback in Scioto's hurry-up, no-huddle offense is junior Nathan Densel. Darius McDonald will be the main focus as a runner and a receiver.
The defense has seven returning starters and will be led by senior linebackers Troy Zimmerman and Nick Conner.
Kilbourne also has a new quarterback in junior Griffin Dahn, as senior Keaton Reinhart has moved to receiver.
The Wolves return 22 seniors and 23 letterwinners, including six starters on each side of the ball. Slotbacks Seth Hill and Chandler Bridges and running back Justin Stoner play behind an experienced line.
Josh Happ and Taylor Wilson are expected to lead the Wolves' 4-3 defense at linebacker, with D.J. Freer (DE), Gavin Elifritz (DT), Hill (DB) and Bridges (DB) being other key players.

Mala Bead Bracelets and Necklaces
Our mala beads are made in natural stone and may include feature beads or pendants in other finishes. Stone beads can be wiped clean.
Mala beads are intended to facilitate prayer or meditation and the stone beads used are considered to assist with a specific intention of your practice. You can find more information about the intention of your mala beads in the product listing.
We recommend storing your mala beads in the cloth pouch provided when not in use.
Cleansing your Crystals
Cleanse your crystals and mala beads using moonlight. Simply place on a dish outside at sunset and collect your jewellery in the morning. Crystals like to be grounded so we recommend using a plate or bowl made of a natural material and placing on the ground. The moon's energy is highest during a new or full moon but you can bathe in moonlight any time. Don't worry if it's raining or overcast, the energy of the moon will still cleanse your crystals, although I wouldn't recommend putting jewellery where it can be directly affected by the rain.
You can also cleanse your malas by using a sage smudge stick. Another relatively easy process, simply place your jewellery in a container and follow the directions on your smudge stick. As you burn the stick, allow the smoke to waft over your jewellery.
Chains & Metal Accents
We use chains and metal beads in various metal finished including plated zinc alloy, toned copper, sterling silver and stainless steel. Some of these metals may discolour over time and with use. To minimise discolouration, please avoid contact with perfumes, moisturiser, hair spray.
For further information on a specific chain you have selected, please contact us.

That is the title of Stanley Kurtz's revealing article in National Review. Kurtz poses the question, what does President Obama really think about the Palestinians and the Middle East? To answer that question, he reviews what we know about Obama's history and relationships that bear on the issue. His conclusion is not reassuring:
The continuing influence of Obama's pro-Palestinian sentiments is the best way to make sense of the president's recent tilt away from Israel. This is why supporters of Israel should fear Obama's reelection. In 2013, with his political vulnerability a thing of the past, Obama's pro-Palestinian sympathies would be released from hibernation, leaving Israel without support from its indispensable American defender.
To see this, we need to reconstruct Obama's pro-Palestinian past and assess its influence on the present. Taken in context, and followed through the years, the evidence strongly suggests that Obama's long-held pro-Palestinian sentiments were sincere, while his post-2004 pro-Israel stance has been dictated by political necessity.
