At last the full, no holds barred, album on how the war on terrorism went terribly wrong and what we can do about it. Expands on The Big Ka-Boom, Part Onewith more in-depth details, plus a eye-brow raising recap of the Florida election Fraud Follies - complete with a trademark searing reply to anyone who still thinks Ralph Nader cost Al Gore the election (and just in time for this election!)
Jello Biafra releases his 7th spoken word album. Everyone who hears this
will agree this is one of his finest and most entertaining releases ever. It
contains material recorded during his spoken word performances over the past
year, including up-to-the-minute dialog regarding the situation in Iraq. Probably
his funniest release to date, where he busts out impersonations - from world
leaders to his high school geometry teacher. Yet, humor aside, it is one of his
most stirring and emotional albums. Jello talks about the Mid-East crisis, The
War On Terrorism, Voting, Joey Ramone, Corporate Controlled Mass Media,
Geneticaly Modified Food, Corporate Feudalism, Patriotism, The Energy Crisis,
Dead Kennedys, Civil Liberties, George Bush I & George Bush II, The Spirit Of
Seattle, more dirt on Florida, Darryl Cherney & Judi Bari, War Veterans,.....
Oh and wait until you see the cover image and the back-cover image. Artwork
dreamt about by Jello and executed by world-class poster artist, Chuck Sperry;
with his trademarked collage insert created by Chris Shaw. You'll probably want
to get the LP version too - even if you don't have a turntable - just so you can
have a larger version of the artwork.
Here is some info on this release as well as general information on Jello Biafra :
In-depth look at the "War On Terrorism"and the Florida election fiasco.
Spoken Word Album #7 by Jello Biafra
Jello Biafra was nominated by the Green Party to run for president of the United States Of America
Jello Biafra was the leader and creative force of Dead Kennedys and has collaborated with many other bands such as Nomeansno, D.O.A., Lard, and most recently served as part of the No W.T.O. Combo together with Krist Novoselic, Kim Thayil and Gina Mainwal.
Jello Biafra is the founder and owner of Alternative Tentacles Records - one of the oldest independent labels around, now in its 23rd year!
... The most compelling aspect of this collection is how on-the-mark Biafra is in articulating his anger at the crooks who are currently running the USA. From John "Ashcrack" (whom Biafra points out is so odious that Missourians preferred to elect a dead guy) to Cheney, Rumsfeld and Pappy Bush, no guilty parties emerge unscathed."

Gorges State Park in Transylvania County will be featured in part one of a three-part series on North Carolina state parks produced by UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication students.
The series will air Dec. 3-5 at 7:30 p.m. on UNC-TV's "North Carolina Now." The reports look at environmental issues facing Gorges State Park in the mountains, Eno River State Park in Orange and Durham counties and Fort Macon State Park on Bogue Banks near Morehead City.
The series was written and produced by students in the school's Medical and Science Journalism Program as part of professor Tom Linden's "Science Documentary Television" course.
"This series focuses on three of our state's natural and historical treasures," said Linden, who narrated the reports and served as executive producer.
UNC-TV videographers Mike Oniffrey and Pete Bell shot the series, along with additional videography supplied by the students and Patrick McMillan, a Clemson University biology professor.
Jonathan Howes, former secretary of the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources and former chair of the N.C. Parks and Recreation Authority, assisted the class with the project. Lewis Ledford, director of N.C. State Parks and Recreation, provided additional support.
Gorges State ParkThe first part of the series examines how a temperate rain forest in Gorges State Park supports one of the most diverse ecosystems in the eastern United States.
Patrick Mustain, a master's student in the Medical and Science Journalism Program, produced the piece with help from Dane Emmerling, a master's student in the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health. Jeanne-Marie DeStefano, a master's student in the journalism school, wrote the script.
Eno River State Park
The second report tells the story of an exotic plant from Asia that threatens to upset the natural ecosystem in the Eno River.
Justin Ridge, a doctoral student in marine sciences, produced the piece. Jesse Abdenour, a doctoral student in the journalism school, wrote the script.
Fort Macon State Park
The final report traces the long battle to save Fort Macon from the ocean's relentless onslaught.
UNC environmental sciences student Ethan Miller produced the piece with help from geology student Siobhan Kenney. Senior journalism student Joseph Chapman wrote the script.

In a White House release on the plan, the administration said, "Since the President took office four years ago, America has begun the hard work of rebuilding our infrastructure: American workers have improved over 350,000 miles of U.S. roads and more than 6,000 miles of rail, and they have repaired or replaced over 20,000 bridges. But there's more to do, and taxpayers shouldn't have to shoulder the entire burden themselves."
The plan takes a three-pronged approach, which includes calls for a $10 billion National Infrastructure Bank; builds upon the Build America Bonds program by issuing new American Fast Forward Bonds that will give state and local governments flexibility in infrastructure investment and additional funding for the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) program and the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program.
The TIFIA program received an eight-fold increase in funding to $1 billion in the recent surface transportation reauthorization. Making sure this expansion is implemented is "a significant step towards more innovative infrastructure financing."
Additionally, the administration is proposing $4 billion in new competitive funding for the TIGER and TIFIA programs in 2014. By doing this, the administration says new grant and loan funding would be available for states and localities across the country, giving them both a new source of financing and the flexibility to design projects and financing packages to meet their needs.
"You ask any CEO where we they rather locate their business and hire new workers. Are you going to set up shop in a country that's got raggedy roads, runways that are pot-holed, and backed-up supply chains? Or are you going to seek out high-speed rail, Internet, high-tech schools, new state-of-the-art power grids, new bridges, new tunnels, new ports that help you ship products made in America to the rest of the world as fast as possible?" Obama asked the Port Miami crowd.

Hi Jeffrey
Over the last year or so I have been noticing furniture and accessories with a Moroccan influence and I am really drawn to them. I would love to decorate my living room in this style, but my husband says it's a passing trend and will look dated next year. Do you like this look and do you think an entire room decorated with a Moroccan theme is a waste of money?
Thank you.
To be honest, Jillian, my initial reaction after reading your email was to send your question to designer (and Post Homes columnist) Samantha Pynn. I feel it's borderline unfair to your husband for me to answer considering I have a strong bias and ongoing love affair with Morocco. Obviously it's not Sam who's replying but at least your husband will read my disclaimer.
A year ago with this trend in full swing, I made the trek to Marrakech and stayed at the iconic hotel La Mamounia. It originally opened in 1923 and has been the Marrakech hotel for the rich and famous ever since. Not surprisingly with more than 85 years under her belt, the hotel was in need of a major restoration and so international interior designer Jacques Garcia was brought in to do just that, reopening in 2009.
Not possessing Joan Didion's gift of prose, there is no way for me to properly articulate the exotic spell that washed over me the instant I walked through the Moorish arch of La Mamounia. The fairy tale setting, the waft of orange blossoms and the ornate architecture was like nothing I have ever experienced. All of this sensory overload even before visiting the snake charmers and spice vendors in the souk.
I tell you this because I believe we both share the aesthetic draw of this magical country and if you have never been you must prioritize a trip to Morocco at some point in your life for the sheer mythical experience. (Keep in mind you're reading design advice from a man who would hit the road and forever live from a suitcase if he could.)
Now, to answer your question before I'm accused of working for the Moroccan Tourism Board: If it's your living room you're thinking of turning into a Sultan's tent, then I say don't bother (chalk one up for hubby). I am, however, all for you adding a Moroccan leather pouf, a filigree metal lantern and/or an ornate coffee table to the mix. I'm of the belief - and actually live this way - that exotic items mixed in with your other furnishings make for a well-designed room that will remain timeless. Money well spent.
However, if you want to tile the walls, upholster your furniture pomegranate red, install carved arch doorways and serve fresh mint tea twice a day, I would personally save that riad feel (a riad is a traditional Moroccan house) for your master bedroom. Full-on theme rooms need to be creatively expressed in either guest rooms (for the "delight" of family and friends who stay over) or for your own bedroom, because it's your personal space and you'll darn well decorate it however you and your husband want! (Though I'm not sure hubby will want to rock the casbah in his bedroom.)
As soon as I walked into my hotel suite in Morocco, I wanted the complete look in my own home. If there was a Nobel Prize for design, and I was on the nominating committee, I would nominate Mr. Garcia for what he has created in the heart of Marrakech. But after a couple of days staying there and truly soaking it all in, I realized that I could never recreate that authentic feel because for me the experience had become much more than brick and mortar. What I could do, however, was haggle in the marketplace for my leather pouf and drink unlimited glasses of mint tea as my friend looked at what seemed like every rug in the Marrakech souk.
I hope this helps.

Tagged: Corey Patterson
Back Home
Well, the O's are back in the win column a little more often than not lately. That sounds so positive as compared to how the team is truly doing.
I had my first week of finals, and this week brings another. Hoping to be done everything by Wednesday. Also was in Cleveland all this past weekend, including attending the Indians vs. Tigers game Friday night. Caught 5 baseballs even without a glove, would have had 12+ with one because of how empty it was and how many I had to let drop so my hands wouldn't break.
Instead of doing stat analysis, or game by game conversations, I am just going to look over a few topics shortly. This week, I will be once again doing the game by game stuff with more topics thrown in weekly.
The bullpen has been good, the starting pitching has been mostly solid, and the hitting is more inconsistent than Kyle Boller. Moves are coming soon. Corey Patterson is hitting .370 in Norfolk, and will probably be up for Montanez soon. By all the talk, that may not be all. In terms of pitching, there won't be any big moves that we can foresee coming since no pitcher is really too far out of it. The hitting is the problem.
From the Orioles website (orioles.com):
Those are the averages of Orioles hitters. Names aren't even important. Knowing the numbers of slugging and hitting with RISP aren't important, either. It has come down to guys needing to hit in general, not just in the clutch. Markakis, Wigginton, and Wieters are all below .300. Nobody is above .300 (except Felix Pie, whoopee). Guys are below .200. That's just great…
Good bullpen news:
The O's seem to have found a closer in Alfredo Simon. And a new (maybe temporary but still for now) set-up guy in Uehara. In 6 appearances, Simon is 3-3 in save opportunities, and in 6 IP, has only allowed 6 hits, 0 ER, and has 7 Ks and only 4 BBs. Uehara, in his 2 IP in 2 appearances, has only allowed 1 H and 0 ER, along with 2 Ks.
Ohman, through 11 IP in 16 appearances, has still not earned a run. Berken and Meredith are both also set in position so far, neither with an ERA over 2. These 3 combined have the following stat line:
36.2 IP, 27 H, 5 ER, 26:11 K:BB ratio, and a stellar ERA of 1.23.
Pitching looks good. Matusz had his first rocky start after 4 consecutive quality starts, but he should be back on track soon enough. Especially with his T-shirt Tuesday being tomorrow night.
The Orioles homestand now looks like this:
3 games vs. Mariners
3 games vs. Indians
2 games vs. Royals
Even with 2 of those M's games being against Lee and Hernandez, the O's should be able to split this 8 game homestand, if not wint 5 or 6 at least. That would be a huge boost. We will have to wait and see what the club does in terms of roster moves to set this team straight.
Always remember to follow along with the sites I have listed under links. They will always have the best O's info available.
Keep up with http://baltimoresportsreport.com/ They have daily articles and write-ups about Baltimore sports and a lot about the Orioles. Taking part in the discussions on the site is very interesting. They also have lots of interesting stuff like contests and interviews with players and commentators.

"The California High-Speed Rail system will transform the way Californians travel, while alleviating freeway and airport congestion, reducing carbon emissions and enhancing the state's economic competitiveness," explained Andrew McNaughton, Balfour Beatty chief executive. "With funding now in place, construction of the initial segment in the Central Valley is on target to proceed this summer."
The project will allow passengers to travel from Los Angeles to San Francisco at speeds capable of more than 200 miles per hour, making the trip in less than three hours, compared to almost six hours by automobile. The first phase of the planned 800-mile network will run from Los Angeles to the San Francisco Bay Area through California's Central Valley, with subsequent phases connecting to San Diego and Sacramento.
Parsons Brinckerhoff has served as the project's program manager since 2006 and is assisting the California High-Speed Rail Authority with all aspects of the program, including planning, environmental review, preliminary engineering and testing and commissioning. Other key responsibilities include developing the criteria and technical standards that will define high-speed train systems, procurement of system-wide design-build contracts and supporting CHSRA on a range of project development activities, including economic impact analyses, business planning and grants.

The project will allow Mercuria Energy Trading to source crude from various origination locations including Cushing, Okla., west Texas, the Bakken shale area and western Canada for delivery by rail into the Houston Ship Channel for distribution to various refiners via pipeline and barges.
The facility will have the capability to unload and load up to three unit trains per day of crude oil and condensate, as well as provide for up to 100,000 bpd of barge loading capacity. KW Express will own 85 percent of the project and, together with Watco, construct and operate the project once completed. Mercuria will own the remaining 15 percent interest of the project.
"This will be the first major crude by rail destination facility in the Houston area with the ability to deliver into the largest refining complex in the world," said John Schlosser, Kinder Morgan Terminals president. "It will provide U.S. and Canadian producers much needed market access and optionality to deliver their crude oil production."

What sort of view of our history do we get from Hollywood movies? Why
are some stories told and others not? Howard Zinn's People's History of the
United States helped to enlarge our sense of history to include the stories
of women, minorities, labor struggles and others forgotten or removed from
official histories. In this informal talk given at the Taos Film Festival,
Zinn turns his attention to Hollywood, the stories it tells and the ones it
doesn't. He tells the stories of wars from the point of view of
disillusioned deserters, of the differences between All Quiet on the
Western Front and Saving Private Ryan, of railroad strikes and the
Haymarket Affait, Eugene Debs and the real story of Helen Keller, socialist
and anti-war agitator. Mother Jones leads a march of 11 and 12-year-old
textile workers from Pennsylvania to Roosevelt's vacation home in Oyster
Bay to demand better working conditions in the textile mills then at age 85
is thrown in jail for leading the Colorado Coal strike of 1913-4. A
spellbinding and provocative talk by America's most beloved historian.
The first Howard Zinn CD A People's History of the United States has sold over 10,000 copies! Also, People's History of the United States is now in development as an HBO feature film with Ben Affleck & Matt Damon as co-producers.

It's been nearly half a year since Star Wars: The Old Republic transitioned into a free-to-play game. So, how did it go? Pretty darn great, if you asked Jeff Hickman, executive producer on the game.
In a new blog post, Hickman owns up to the shortcomings of SWTOR's rapid decline at launch. "Last spring, there was some uncertainty surrounding Star Wars: The Old Republic as we were starting to lose subscribers and players were growing frustrated," he said. "In fairness, many of the complaints and worries were justified."
"We just weren't sufficiently focused on improving the core experience," Hickman said, noting that the game has changed significantly since launch. Not only did the switch to free-to-play add "vitality" back to the game, but new features like Group Finder made it easier for friends to find each other and play new content.
According to Hickman, since the free-to-play transition, the game has added two million new accounts. "Our new, high capacity servers are teeming with people," he boasted. "This means more people to play with, more growth for your guilds, more Warzone matches, and more ways for players to continue to advance their characters."
The success of SWTOR as a free-to-play game shouldn't be surprising to most, given the numerous people that predicted resistance towards a subscription model. We're sure somewhere, Garnett Lee is drinking a beer saying "I told you so."

Blizzard hasn't exactly been what we'd call "subtle" with hints at Diablo III on consoles. At this point we'd be more surprised if the anticipated dungeon-crawler stays PC-exclusive. Now you can carve another notch in the Incredibly Blatant Teasing scoreboard, as game director Jay Wilson says that internal tests have shown the game feels better when played with an Xbox 360-style analog pad.
"One of the reasons why we're exploring the idea of a console version of Diablo 3 because we feel that the controls and the style of the game lend itself to a console," Wilson told PC Gamer. "With some of our early experiments in putting a direct control scheme into the game via a 360-like analogue controller, I've been, 'Oh this feels even better, with direct control.'"
"We don't see ourselves as a PC developer - we see ourselves as a game developer. It's just the games that we wanted to make suit the PC platform." He cites Starcraft as an example of an RTS that couldn't meet their standards on a console, saying it wouldn't be "Blizzard great." But Diablo seems to lend itself to traditional console controls, especially if the team is already testing it.
You may recall this is similar to the reaction from critics and fans when the Diablo-inspired Torchlight made the trek to the Xbox 360. It's also proving a source of consternation among 360 owners who probably won't be getting Torchlight 2.
Still, the PC version is likely to come first, with controller support subsequently patched in when and if the unannounced console versions are finished. "I can pretty much guarantee that if we decide to do a console version that we will look to support a pad on PC," he said. "But initially with release I don't think we'll be ready."
It's unclear how the console versions would deal with certain PC decisions, like the real-money auction house and always-on internet requirement. But Blizzard has been fairly open about its interest in a console version, dropping multiple hints over the last year.
If you want to try out the game with good old-fashioned mouse-and-keyboard controls, beta invites began going out yesterday. If you didn't get in, you can always get a small taste with the skill calculator.

Admin is entirely written in Java. It uses Swing GUI Components and JDBC to connect to databases. It has been succesfully tested with MySQL, Derby, InstantDB, Oracle, Empress, MS SQL Server, and PostgreSQL. You can have a tree view of the RDBMS or pick a single instance to have a look at its metadata. It allows you to create, modify, and drop tables and to create indices on a table. The dynamic form makes it easy to enter data into a certain table, and the guided query makes it easy to retrieve data from a table and to export it. Java developers will probably enjoy the code generator doing an OO relational wrapper and a swing GUI for them. There is a tool with which SQL statements can be enriched with a few commands, generating a GUI to easily select data from a DB. You can also export and import data and transport it from one DBMS to another.

Welcome disc golfer! You can login or create an account.
Questions? Call us: (785) 258-2494
The Innova DX Leopard is a great beginner friendly fairway driver that is understable. It should be everyone's first driver as it is easy to throw straight and far and has excellent glide. The Leopard is a great turnover disc for players of all skill levels. More experienced players can use the Leopard for throwing distance-stretching "Hyzer Flip" shots. Especially as it ages, the Leopard makes a dependable long range roller.
It is a great choice for a straight line driver, an all around driver, anhyzer shots, rollers, beginner's first driver, and as a young disc golf player's first driver in lighter weights. Highly recommended beginner friendly fairway driver.
DX discs are affordably priced and provide an excellent grip in all types of weather conditions. Over time, DX discs will take on new and varied flight characteristics that stem from their use. They start out more overstable, but with use will match the flight ratings. With continued use, they'll eventually become more understable than the ratings.
About Color and Availability - Pictured above are some available DX colors. This model may not be available in all of these colors. Likewise, each weight range may not be available in all colors. Therefore we ask you to list and prioritize your color preferences and to give us guidance if the color or weight range you want happens to not be available. Feel free to contact us if you need more specific info.

"Of course the Leopard is in my hand for the left to right drives, but I'll also use it on the shorter, low-ceiling holes that are long enough to need the glide advantage of a driver. With a lighter delivery and softer grip, the leopard will take me straight to the bank." - Simon Lizotte
"This is my favorite disc ever made!!! I personally carry 3 of them in the bag. Perfect for Mid-Range shots that require low ceiling. I also carry a lighter DX version for rescue shots. The straightness of this disc allows you to throw confident shots in the woods. If you don't have one, you could be costing yourself strokes on the course." - Ken Franks
If you are looking for a disc with
more Fade, try the Cheetah
more Turn, try the Kite
more Glide, try the Foxbat
Other Speed 6 discs include the Cheetah, Gazelle, Viper and Whippet

One of the goals of Tulip is to facilitate the reuse of components, and it allows developers to focus on programming their application. This development pipeline makes the framework efficient for research prototyping as well as the development of end-user applications. The framework also provides a complete software for visual analysis of relational data having attributes.
MetricsAnalytics is a Sonar plugin that analyzes the Total Quality related to your Java code. Using this plugin you can visualize your Java code from different points of view: Architecture Quality (normalized distance from main sequence, cycle number, etc.); Design Quality (CBO, DIT, NOC, RFC, etc.); Code Quality (comment, duplicated line, complexity cyclomatic, etc.); Test Quality (code coverage, test failed number, etc.); and Total Quality. MetricsAnalytics helps you to re-factorize your code and check your test coverage. It improves the maintainability, reliability, and efficiency of your project in running time. It tries to unify the concepts of XRadar in the Sonar World with some adaptations to get the Total Quality Indicator. It adds new domains and metrics in Sonar and an extension point in the dashboard: the "Design" domain with the class metrics of Ckjm, and the "Architecture" domain with the package metrics of JDepend.
RiskMNGT is a Redmine plugin that allows you to manage risks and incidents in your projects. You can define a risk or incident from its description, type, impact, probability, exposure level, owner, mitigation strategy, and contingency strategy. You can control the traceability between your risks and new requests for change, tasks and your code. In conjunction with the RequMNGT Redmine requirement management plugin, you could relate the risks to the different artifacts of your software project: feature, requirement, use case, classes, test case, etc. A database of risks and incidents can be defined for reusing best practice mitigation strategies.
The Tinyserial library is a space-saving alternative to the Arduino software distribution's libraries for reading and writing characters and strings to the USART0 serial port on the Atmel ATmega168 and ATmega328p MCUs found on Arduino Diecimilla and Duemilanove boards. While the Arduino software distribution's libraries provide interrupt-driven serial I/O with far more features and support more MCUs, the Tinyserial library provides only the most basic polling-based serial I/O. However, the Tinyserial library uses far less Flash and SRAM, thereby giving you room to implement larger and more complicated applications on your boards. The Tinyserial library respects the GNU libc ABI, so you can call into it from C and C++ programs.

Preston wing tips
Product Details
Our designers took a cue from top-notch English and American shoemakers from the early 1900s to craft our classic wing tips (now with a slimmer toe for a more modern silhouette). The distinctive hallmarks of the brogue style—like its perforated wing pattern along the toe and sides—meet updated design details like stronger eyelets reinforced invisibly along the interior. Every pair is crafted with genuine Goodyear welt construction (the sole is sewn on rather than cemented) for a more durable, breathable fit that only gets better with wear.
- Leather upper and lining.
- Waxed cotton laces.
- Leather sole with rubber heel insert.
- Import.

The Green Line is expected to handle an increase in passengers once CTA begins reconstruction of the Red Line South in May. It's estimated that customers served along the Green Line could quadruple to more than 50,000 weekday rides during the Red Line project. Improvements that have been made or will be completed by May include improvements and temporary expansion of two Green Line stations, Garfield and Ashland/63rd, and significant track and signal work beginning south of Roosevelt at several locations along the Green Line that will eliminate emerging slow zones that could impact and reduce travel times.
In addition to increase ridership, the Green Line will accommodate additional trains during the Red Line South reconstruction—a $425 million initiative that will completely rebuild the Red Line between Cermak/Chinatown and 95th Street over a five-month period beginning May 19. Because the Red Line South project will require a five-month shutdown of that section of the Red Line, Red Line trains will run on elevated Green Line tracks between Ashland/63rd and Roosevelt. CTA will provide free shuttle buses that will transport customers from four Red Line stations south of 63rd Street to Garfield Green Line station.
"The Green Line trackwork we're doing in preparation for the Red Line reconstruction project has already begun improving our Green Line customers' travel experience," said CTA President Forrest Claypool. "We are always looking to reduce travel times and improve service, and that's exactly what we're doing."
Funding for the project was provided by the State of Illinois, including a $426 million state capital grant for the Red Line South project, part of more than $1 billion in federal, state and local funding announced in late 2011 by Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn for the Red and Purple lines.
Improvements include extensive trackwork on the southern Green Line and Ashland/63rd and Cottage Grove branches, such as replacing rail ties, tracks and upgrading signal and switching equipment. The Garfield station is receiving upgrades including a bus staging area for Red Line South bus shuttle dropoffs and additional temporary turnstiles, signage, security cameras and lighting to handle additional passengers, as well as cleaning and improved lighting and signage. The Ashland/63rd Station is receiving new roofing, painting, escalator and elevator rehabilitation, new stairs and other repairs. Other Green Line improvements include the installation of CTA Train Tracker signs at all Green Line stations south of Roosevelt.

King James. For the reason that it is most responsible for the current situation.
ESV -- I think it's more true to the original documents.
It's also very easy to understand.
KJV. It is more familiar to most people.
Can anyone recommend a scholarly translation (with Apocrypha)??? I'd like to be able to point out its flaws and absurdities without certain individuals claiming that the translation is flawed and thusly does not retain the meaning of the original text.
thinking a translation can never be a simple mechanical legible version of a work , just the impression of someone very like you . Was thinking language may be similar in the most concrete ways but the basic conceptual field is drastically different . Was thinking I had a friend born and raised maybe 20 miles away from me but both of his parents were Hutterite , about as culturally different as you can get . The Koran as I understand does not have "translations" but "impressions "perhaps what we should have .
maybe the term translation is essentially misleading , and the the term should rather be " x work explained by someone in a form hopefully you will understand" . Shaum's Outlines or Cole's Notes ( or God forbid Classics Illustrated ) . National Lampoon's Son-o-God comics .
Truth is never a synonym for fact rather it is the correspondence of mind with fact when understanding that whatever God may reveal, human reception and understanding of it are involved in asserting it to be Divine revelation.
Unintelligible or humanly unassailable alleged revelation, whatever else it may be, is not Divine revelation.
........Thus, I have no particular favourite translation of Holy Scripture rather am inspired to read that which comes to mind, at the moment I am moved to seek inspiration on any particular matter.
I can be impressed and moved by the wonderful, poetic language of The Authorised Version (King James) whereas, the NIV is my version of choice for its easy read, and immediate understanding.
The Clear Word...
Firstly -- it is written by one of my old Religion professors (and a family friend) -- Jack Blanco...
Secondly -- it makes the Bible much EASIER to read -- for those of us who occasionally struggle with the King's English...
The NIV (New International Version) is the English translation that I am most familiar with. This is my 'go to' version for looking up, and reading, a Biblical tale.
But the KJV (King James Version) has a beautiful, poetic, melodious (although often misleading) style. The archaic language lends a sense of gravitas and profundity to even the most trivial of verses.
The Living Bible and the Good News Bible must be two of the worst versions that I have encountered; although the Living Bible is a paraphrase rather than a translation, if I recall correctly.
An interesting read on a new Norwegian translation of Holy Scripture:
I quote:
The hottest read in Norway this year is packed with polygamy, prostitutes – even corporal punishment. But this isn't Fifty Shades of Grey; instead, Norwegians have been rushing to pick up copies of the Bible.
Published last October, a new Norwegian translation of the Bible has been one of the top 15 bestsellers in the country for 54 out of the last 56 weeks, jostling for position with more populist titles from the likes of EL James, James Nesbø, Ken Follett and Per Petterson. It is now one of the bestselling books of the year, according to Dag Smemo, project manager for publisher the Norwegian Bible Society, with 157,000 copies sold in the last 14 months, and more time in the charts than both Fifty Shades of Grey and Justin Bieber's autobiography.
I am most familiar with KJV because of its keyed relationship with Strong's Concordance and because of an early and lengthy acquaintance with that particular vintage of old wine. I now like the RSV's and actually my choice might be swayed by notes giving variant readings rather than the text itself, but these do represent excellent English. NIV is acceptable. But there isn't one of those on my shelf, actually. Oh, yes there is...gotta find it someday. The reason these revised Versions are acceptable or whatever is that I don't take them with too too much deadly seriousness. But I do take them seriously in what I perceive to be the proper way to do so.
I am not one to turn up my nose or gnash my teeth at these little books. Like Homer and the other old Greek texts, they are a link to our earliest literary pasts and a great source for learning how we are a bit screwed up if read carefully--but also, moreso, a guide to the human race's stronger and nobler characteristics; in fact, certainly, misread or mis-preached it can cause various forms of depression and mental illness. Many Christians call that a form of black magic, actually, using Scripture to influence people, and to "help God." But I also think that The One We Call God uses this book to reach even the darkest souls.
To be sure, there is no lack of misuse of the Versions in our Big Global Village.
to many to choose from. simply not logical does not compute.

Hey guys, there are lots of places both here and in Hot Topics to debate atheist critiques of religion (even using funny pictures.)
But this thread is about translation. Let's keep it On Topic.
Somali OstrichThe worst thing...is not energy depletion, economic collapse, conventional war, or the expansion of totalitarian governments. As terrible as these catastrophes would be for us, they can be repaired in a few generations.

The most scholarly modern translations -- using the best original Hebrew and Greek texts, and with a diverse team of translators, and seeking a literal word-for-word translation -- are the New International Version and the New Revised Standard Version (for North American) and the Revised English Bible (British).
The NIV is by a team of predominantly evangelical Protestant translators, and occasionally (but not too often) shows a slight bias, but 95% or more is functionally equal to the NRSV. Both also have translators footnotes, which note where the Hebrew text is corrupted and they have used the Greek Septuagint or another ancient version, or where the early New Testament manuscripts disagree.
I would recommend an annotated edition (Harper Collins Study Bible or New Oxford Annotated Bible, both NRSV, or the multi-volume New Interpreter's Bible, which gives parallel NIV and NRSV) for additional textual notes, alternative readings and cross-references.
The KJV, despite its wonderful language, is deeply flawed for serious study. First, many English words have changed meaning considerably since 1611. ("Suffer the children to come unto me" is one verse which means something entirely different in modern English). Second, it is not based on the best ancient manuscripts. Third, the KJV is not a word-for-word translation, the translators having taken occasional liberties in order to produce a version well suited to public reading, and to promote certain theological biases (see Adam Nicolson's book "God's Secretaries: the Making of the King James Bible").
Paraphrases (Good News Bible, Eugene Peterson's The Message, New Living Translation) are NOT literal translations, and the translators have in many cases made changes to the text to make them more readable and easy to understand. In any paraphrase, be aware of the biases of the translators, as they tend to come through (especially in Paul). While paraphrases are good for reading and understanding, they are not good for serious study.
There is a new translation (CEV), which I have heard good things about. As scholarly and thorough as the NRSV and NIV, but with a bit more accessible language. I haven't had a chance to check it out, so I can't offer an opinion.
Finally, for those who want to see the extremes of playing fast and loose with translation, pick up the Jehovah's Witnesses translation, and compare it to any standard Bible. I read their version of John, and hardly recognized it.
I use the ESV, RSV, NRSV with the Apocrypha, and Orthodox Jewish Bible. For extensive research in Mediterranean studies, I'll use Textus Receptus and the mGNT.
All are used in academics and I use them interchangeably to demonstrate specific points.
I advise heavily against the Queen James Bible (yes, it is real), TNIV, and The Message.
The KJV has too many translation errors.
I like using the NKJV for reading. However, I LOVE Eugene Peterson's 'The Message' paraphrase and also I like the New Living Translation, but for everyday reading it's NKJV.
The one by John Marco Allegro in his VERY important book The Sacred Mushroom and the Cross
Because it gets right to the roots of how writ down mythologies, including the books of the Bible, were writ down and composed. They were composed in layers. The outer superficial layers are for the unitiated and are literalist tales, but 'hidden' in the text is the meaning for the intitated of the cult, and they did this through using the literary techniques of transliteration, wordplay, using 'dead' languages like Sumarian, etc etc to point to their meaning.
Which was?
Well that they eat a mind-altering fungus which they related to 'God'.
They believed that mushrooms magically appeared after thunderstors, and their concept of their patriarchal god was of a massive phallus on the heavens who would rain down his semen, and this would be particularly strong in psychedelic mushrooms which after eating them brought the eater into contact with deeper reality including with their 'God'.
This made complete sense to me because I had had early psychedelic experience when 15, and many times after with LSD and magic mushrooms and I knew of their awesome power. So understanding that people from ancient times would also have had access to these kinds of experiences was very mindblowing to me.
Understanding about this makes you question everything including their interpretation of their experiences. Whereas they were patriarchal, I am more attracted to Goddess mythology which sees nature and the body and sexuality as sacred. NOT fallen. I am therefore assuming that IF they chose to interpret deep experience which including a phallic god cut off from nature, that this would affect them and entrench these beliefs via their use of these substances.
For the pagands however, who saw nature and the body and sex as nothing to be feared, psychedelics would be a celebration and not some way to 'purify' oneself so one could return to the 'father' away from nature.
Umm, well I used to be Mormon. So I would read the Holy Bible within the Standard Works, or the "Quad" as Mormons nicknamed it.
The Standard Works which is like our "canon" consist of the Bible, Book of Mormon, D&C, and Pearl of Great Price.
The Bible is the same as everyone else's, it is the authentic KJV. People think the Mormons changed the Bible, but we didn't. It is the good ole KJV that is just as responsible for all the wars as your Bible is.
Now, if you read the footnotes, there are little nuggets of insight courtesy of the Prophet Joseph Smith. But other than that it is the same. We also don't consider the Song of Solomon canonical Scripture. True! And don't believe any Mormon who says otherwise.
Its quite simple to prove, just ask for there Bible then turn to SofS, and right at the only footnote on the page says Joey Smith does not afford of Bible Porn lol.
Anyway, not to get off topic. That's the translation I use. I haven't read the Bible in years, and I read the Book of Mormon maybe like 1 or 2 years ago.
I still have my Quad with my name engraved on it (that is a Mormon tradition), but once you discover cock why bother reading the Bible......or reading anything else for that matter.
Revised Standard Version (1952); Scholarship is sound, and the expression is unaffected (uncontaminated? distorted? nullified?) by secular humanism, as later versions are
I have had them running at to me when I pass trying to get me going to their church and especially take a Bible. In the past I have tried to talk with them about why I am not into all that stuff, but can see that really ALL they want is to unload a bible on your person lol.
What I do now is with a stern look-then-smile hold my arm out and hand making a strong gesture of NO!!!! They get the message. Of course there are some that are so cute I want to go to THEM hehe Don't wanna derail this thread so if you like pm me?
Visit www.iamanexmormon.com
I prefer the New English Bible.
Keep in mind that the earliest Biblical collection we have is the Muratorian Canon which dates to the mid second century. The Council of Nicea didn't come to order untilhe early fourth century. The Council deliberated on theological issues...not what constituted scripture. Hence, the Nicene Creed.
The KJV of the Bible even included the Apocrypha.

ROCKFORD — When Nick Stella scored for Hononegah with less than 20 minutes left in Wednesday's game against Harlem, the Indians seemed like they had control with a 4-1 lead.
But the Huskies, led by senior Casey Culver, didn't make things easy. Culver tallied his 109th career goal in the 74th minute and teammate Heythem Sahori added another goal 20 seconds later.
Although Harlem capitalized with Culver and Sahori's two late goals against the Indians' second line, the Huskies weren't able to turn the tables; Hononegah survived 4-3 in the Class 3A Auburn Regional semifinal.
"Harlem is a dangerous team," Hononegah coach Vee Jevremovic said. "They have dangerous players, and we talked about it before the game that a 1-0 lead isn't comfortable."
It was a tale of two halves for the Indians (15-3-2), who took the lead early on a Zach Moore goal. The Huskies (13-8-2) answered when Culver tied the game before the half. In the second half, Hononegah came out strong and scored two quick goals within four minutes to lead 3-1.
Harlem coach Kyle Truax said his team's intensity wasn't as strong in the game.
"We came out flat," he said. I'm not sure if it was nerves, but we just couldn't get anything going. They did do a good job of controlling the middle. They had some incredible shots."
The No. 2-seeded Indians play top-seeded Boylan at 4 p.m. in Saturday's regional final.

Hey guys! Here is a little peek into my MAC blush palettes and how I organize them. Keep in mind these are just my powder blushes (and just MAC). I don't depot the cream blush or mineral blush or even some of the limited edition ones in cute packaging. I actually depot most of the l.e. ones because the little pots are annoying... I think I only have a couple that are not depotted (HK and Manish Arora)--trust me, it's been hard. I've wanted to depot them so bad! haha
**Also, I removed the inserts in the palettes, which basically serve as little "guides" to place your refill pans in. You don't need them since the entire bottom of the palette is a solid piece of metal, so the whole thing is magnetic. The insert just keeps them straight and separated. To me, removing the insert is worth the extra 2 spaces it provides. Normally, blush palettes hold only 6. With the inserts removed, they hold 8 nicely. Removing the inserts is easy. Just wedge something around the edges and it will pop right out.
Cute (dc'd), Well Dressed, Pinch O' Peach, Blushbaby
Pink Swoon, Dollymix, Peachykeen, X-Rocks (le)
*Lightsweep (pro, shape powder), Harmony, Sincere, Gingerly
*only shape powder I own in a refill--I have all the shades in le duos--Lightsweep makes for an AWESOME color to use to blend out blush if you've overdone it or to highlight tan/olive skin tones, so I like to keep it handy :)
...and for my favorite. My Beauty Powder Blushes I've depotted. Please note, these ARE NOT the same as a Beauty Powder (see the FAQ section of my blog). They are FABULOUS and I love them. I want to eventually have all the shades. They are le items. I also have the HK Tippy bpb as well, but couldn't bring myself to depot it :) The formulas and the finish of these are just amazing.
Enough Said, Shy Beauty, Eversun, Serenely
Secret Blush, Stark Naked, Feeling, On a Mission
So I think I'm set with MAC blush...haha. Next on my list is to hopefully round out my bpb collection with the shades I don't have and I'm also working on a palette with other pro blush colors because they have awesome brights. I'll post that when it's all done and I'm happy with it ;)
Hope this was helpful! I've also done something similar with my MAC eye shadow palettes. Click here for that post. **Keep in mind, that was a few months ago and they've changed DRAMATICALLY since then. New post to come soon on that :)

THQ auctioning off final remaining franchises
There are still many assets left unclaimed after THQs fire sale. Today, the company has announced that it will sell off its remaining IP through a court-supervised auction. THQ expects bidding and sale to finish by May.
Six bundled "lots" of IPs will be up for bidding, including Darksiders, Red Faction, Homeworld, MX, and two other batches of software that covers "owned software" and "licensed software."
According to THQ, the company has received "more than 100 expressions of interest in purchasing various titles." For example, Platinum Games has admitted interest in the Darksiders franchise, which was left on the table in the first round of sales. If the studio were able to buy the IP, it would have to develop further games in the series by itself, as many former Vigil members have moved onto Crytek USA.
Of particular interest to the Shack community is the sale of the Homeworld IP. Relic Entertainments strategy game hasnt had a proper follow-up since 2003. Sega currently owns that studio; would they be interested in buying the franchise rights as well?
Bundled together in THQs "owned software" offerings include games like Frontlines: Fuel of War, Full Spectrum Warrior, de Blob, Destroy All Humans!, Drawn to Life, and uDraw--which is largely responsible for the collapse of the company.
"Licensed software" up for grabs includes Double Fines Costume Quest and Stacking. Could Tim Schafer and company re-acquire the rights for the games they originally developed? For a full list of all the IPs available for sale, and to find out how you can participate in the bidding process, we recommend reading the full press release.

TinyIDS is a distributed intrusion detection system (IDS) for Unix systems. It is based on the client/server architecture and has been developed with security in mind. The client, tinyids, collects information from the local system by running its collector backends. The collected information may include anything, from file contents to file metadata or even the output of system commands. The client passes all this data through a hashing algorithm and a unique checksum (hash) is calculated. This hash is then sent to one or more TinyIDS servers (tinyidsd), where it is compared with a hash that had previously been stored in the databases of those remote servers for this specific client. A response indicating the result of the hash comparison is finally sent back to the client. Management of the remotely stored hash is possible through the client's command line interface. Communication between the client and the server can be encrypted using RSA public key infrastructure (PKI).
Psensor is a graphical hardware temperature monitor for Linux. It can monitor temperatures of the different hardware sensors (motherboard and CPU using lm-sensors), hard disk drives (hddtemp/libatasmart), and ATI/Nvidia GPUs. The fan can also be monitored (lm-sensors). Psensor is designed to be simple and easy to use.
Redshiftgui changes the color temperature of your monitor to better match that of your surrounding. This means that it sets a cooler color temperature during the daytime (due to natural lighting) and sets a warmer temperature at night (due to indoor lighting). Similar to f.lux, this is a GUI port of the redshift project.
Pito is a set of C++0x header libraries to facilitate writing system call interceptor libraries based on LD_PRELOAD wrappers. The program "pito" is also provided for loading Unix commands with such wrappers. This system is capable of passing command line arguments to loaded plugins for easy configuration. Pito is supplied with a powerful system call sandbox library to prevent modifications to supplied filesystem locations and a system call logging library.
