The Disciple Experience
Another guest post from SPU professor, Dr. Brian Bantum, reflecting on his participation in a recent art installation ("Paradigm Shift") based on the gospel of Mark. Check out photos of the installation HERE!
Going through Mark was the first step in beginning to conceptualize the art/theology installation. We were encouraged to look for and identify main themes that could serve as a foundation. While reading Mark, I couldn't help but notice the stupidity of the disciples. I didn't expect them to be geniuses, but their shortcomings and lack of understanding seemed to jump out at me as Mark gleefully highlighted their collective ignorance. Jesus had to regularly repeat himself and break down parables in further explanation for them. The man was even driven to anger because of them! Going through the gospel, I find myself thinking, "How dense can these guys be?" Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is right there beside them, in the flesh, traveling and performing miracles and yet they are unable to make clear connections. The twelve had, unfortunately, fallen under my unforgiving and severe eye of judgment.
Well, God is never one to give up on an opportunity to open my eyes to a bit of empathy and insight. Little did I know, while working on this installation, I would experience a very humbling change of heart toward the twelve chosen men of God. As much as I hate to admit it, over the nine days building the piece, I found myself in very similar situations as the "duh-ciples."
There I was, a visual communications major who had never built anything larger than a small box in her life, and I was expected to build 12 ft walls with intimidating power tools that could probably take my fingers off if I wasn't careful. I was a bundle of timid anxiety from the first day out. While building the piece, I often found myself unable to comprehend the big picture of what we were doing at the moment. Even though Professor Feldman would patiently explain it to me multiple times, I could feel the look of complete and utter incomprehension plastered to my face as he explained why we were doing what we were doing. Thankfully, the man is a saint and kindly waited as my brain tried to wrap itself around the foreign concept of curved wall blocking. After repeated experiences like this, I found it was easier to stop asking why. I realized it was difficult for me to visualize the pieces while they were still naked 2 x 4's and scattered bits of plywood. I found that if I was just obedient and patiently completed the task I was given, step by step, the walls slowly began to take shape and understanding began to dawn on me.
As we continued and became more familiar with the process, the work made more sense and was easier to grasp. Nevertheless, there would always be those times when we were asked to do something new and I would find myself completely lost without anything to hold on to except for the reassurance that Professor Feldman knew what he was doing. It was in the midst of this experience that I realized I was just like the disciples. I had thrown myself into a large project that I had no idea how to begin or where to start. I had no more skill of carpentry and architecture initially than the disciples had in public speaking and evangelizing. We were ordinary people thrown into situations beyond our comfort zones, but we were there because we wanted to be. We may not have understood everything that was going on, but we had a leader who knew what he was doing and whom we trusted in. Thus ended my brief reign as a superior being to the disciples. Now, I take comfort in having shared a similar fish-out-of-water situation. I feel that if the twelve and I were able to talk over a hot beverage, we could commiserate and bond over our common failings. Like the disciples, I may not always see and understand the big picture at first, but I try my best to remain obedient and keep the faith in the one to whom I have entrusted my life. As long as I take it step by step, it will be built.
Mothering Art
Guest post from SPU student, Lara Musser, reflecting on her participation in a recent art installation on campus entitled, "Paradigm Shift," based on the gospel of Mark. Check out photos of the installation HERE!
What has been your interaction with the art installation in Martin Square? Have you spent time looking at it? Have noticed other people walking through it? Have you wondered about its meaning or had conversations about it?
One of my favorite parts of Mark's gospel is the way Jesus' arrival on the scene of 1st century Palestine affects every person who encounters him and affects them differently. The presence of Jesus Christ in Mark prompts many paradigm-shifting encounters. I love the way Jesus loves outsiders who sometimes have the most poignant things to say about him and that Mark's account of Jesus feels chaotic but masterfully planned. For those who encounter Jesus in the Gospel of Mark, things are not what one would expect.
On the team that designed and built the installation, I am the only student who has never taken a formal art class. Art has a distinct way of intimidating me. Thus, it is understandable that I had a bit of a difficult time contributing to the artistic process. I avoided saying anything that might betray my artistic ignorance. Perhaps this is a feeling you resonate with—fearing that the meaning of the installation will be over your head. It is a feeling quite familiar in the Gospel of Mark.
From that intimidation, I focused my artistic experience on meaning. I now relate this experience to that of a parent. I helped create something that is from me but utterly independent from me. During the process, I wanted a clear concise meaning for the installation: a thesis statement to solve the question of meaning. But just as a mother prepares for the birth of her child with hopes and intentions for who that child will become, she cannot control every aspect of her child's becoming. Instead of tight fisted control, she must open-handedly embrace the mystery of her child becoming independent. I, like the mother, am learning that what I labored over for weeks has become its own entity where meaning cannot be dictated by the hopes and intentions of the artists but rather, new meaning is discovered with each new encounter. Even as one of the artists the layers of unintended meaning I have discovered since the completion of the installation surprises me.
The process of creating Paradigm-Shift has provoked a paradigm-shift within me just as Christ caused paradigm shifts within many who encounter him. I hope that you would risk engaging Paradigm-Shift with the Gospel of Mark in hand so that you might physically experience the way something can prompt a paradigm-shift that reverberates Christ.
Student Reflection
Guest post from SPU student, Amanda Hough, reflecting on her participation in a recent art installation on campus entitled, "Paradigm Shift," based on the gospel of Mark. Check out photos of the installation HERE!
In our weekly discussions approaching the construction of "Paradigm Shift," the seven of us had many decisions to make about what sort of experience we wanted our audience to have, and importantly, what implications that experience would have about the book of Mark. One of the most significant decisions we discussed and made as a team centered on this question: "Do we want it to be a journey or a destination?" Did we want this reflective piece to have a destination, an obvious point of completion after which the viewer would turn around and leave? Or did we want a sense of journey, an ambiguity of whether the end had been reached and whether there even was one at all? We opted, unanimously and rather quickly, for the latter. In my reflections since the completion of the project, this aspect stands out to me and speaks to my life and faith loudly.
In the construction process, as I attempted to line up each block just right and get each screw in precisely the right spot, my perfectionist tendencies were quickly exposed. I love having an end in sight, a clear distinction of where I stand, a to-do list to check off. The past year I have been learning that what is sometimes most frustrating about life is also what makes it most beautiful– it is a journey. Maybe this is not something that everyone has to make him or herself consciously aware of, but I did. We enter in with our individual context and baggage, we walk through slowly, we speed up, we get lost in the crowd, we encounter, we grow, we heal, we move on, we look back, we learn. Sometimes we are unsure of where we are in the process or whether we are doing anything right at all. Christ is not someone we encounter only to check off our to-do list. In Mark we watch Jesus himself constantly moving from one place to the next, inspiring awe, faith and sometimes fear, but the people who encountered him weren't content with that. They entered into the journey.
"Paradigm Shift" provides me, personally, with a space that allows comfort and beauty in ambiguity. As I stood within the installation's enclosed semicircle, I heard two girls as they exited the piece and smiled:
"I think we went in the wrong way."
"Did we?"
"I don't know."
What is This Thing?
A second guest post from SPU professor, Dr. Brian Bantum, reflecting on his participation in a recent art installation ("Paradigm Shift") on campus based on the gospel of Mark. Check out photos of the installation HERE!
Hopefully, those who are a part of the Seattle Pacific University community have had an opportunity to see and walk through the installation in Martin Square. Many of you might have asked yourself a simple question, "What is this thing?!"
I might reply to you, "This is an installation that was part of a group's reflection on the Gospel of Mark." But this answer doesn't necessarily give you any more information. Why? Because an answer to this question, "what is it?" is not simply a question about the installation, but also about art and about the Bible.
What is art? What are the Christian Scriptures? Do these questions have anything to do with one another? The relationship between art and Christian Scriptures depends somewhat on how you define Christian Scriptures. For many, Scripture is a veritable "answer book," an encyclopedia of living that points us to the answers of our daily and lifelong questions. If understood this way, art that is done in conversation with Scripture is simply material that expresses some underlying idea. Put differently, art is a riddle to be "figured out," deciphered so that we can get to the real meaning.
The group that designed and built this installation began with the book of Mark. We read through it several times over the summer, reflected upon specific parts, prayed diligently and gathered together in September to share the ideas, impressions and passages that we saw, felt, and read. What we discovered was not only a variety of similar themes, but also that these themes were understood in different ways. We grabbed onto hope in similar places, but for different reasons. It could be said that the "answers" we saw, put different questions to us that we then had to re-approach the text with.
In the process of talking and reflecting we came to find that the book of Mark was not a puzzle to be figured out, but a living thing that seemed difficult to pin down, that brought us into something, encountered us with someone. This idea of encountering is another way of thinking about what Scripture is. Scripture is, itself, something that arose out of a people's attempts to understand and share the significance of an event, of a person. In many ways, we could say that the gospel of Mark arises out of an encounter. While written after Jesus' death, the book attempts to make sense of his life, death and resurrection and re-encounter people with Jesus' life.
This process of narrating Jesus' life was not the singular task of one man, but a communal process of stitching together various stories, teachings, and accounts of this man's life in order to faithfully tell who Jesus was and what he means for the world. What our group came to find was that this communal process of discerning our encounter with the gospel of Mark was not much different. The patching together of observations, connections, impressions, and themes all served to create a space where Jesus and his work could begin to be discerned and lived within.
If Christian Scriptures are about proclaiming this encounter of God and the world, about giving voice to a community's discerning of what they saw in this particular man Christ, perhaps we can also begin to see the connections, in fact the necessity of art as we interpret the Word of God. In art, the visual (the aural too) work to encounter the viewer with beauty or pain, anguish or peace, or all of them together. Art confronts the viewer with something about the world and ultimately requires the viewer to ask something of themselves and their place in the world.
When we read Scripture we might come to find its truthfulness more profoundly when we stop seeking from it "answers" and become open to the encounter beckons us to. This truth of this installation (or Mark?) is not to be puzzled out or deciphered, but comes only when one sits with, looks upon, prays with, not once or twice, but returns again and again each time spotting new shadows, seeing new lines, listening for the shifts of sound. But even more its truthfulness comes when we are not satisfied with our perceptions or lines of vision, but offer them to one another and allow ourselves to be surprised in the process.

Open enrollment training
Applied LES, DES and URANS for Industry
The industry has started to introduce time-dependent numerical simulation such as large eddy simulation (LES), unsteady RANS or hybrid approaches such as DES in their development process. The advantage of these techniques is much higher accuracy of the prediction compared with steady RANS simulations but also possibility to replace costly physical testing and simulate flow situations where experiments are difficult or impossible. Although most commercial (and open source) CFD software have option to run unsteady methods, their usage requires knowledge in running unsteady simulations which puts different requirements than steady RANS on all steps of the process. Being resolving techniques, these techniques put higher requirements on all steps in the project, from the quality of the computational grids, numerical discretization, performing the CFD simulation to analysis of large amount of data obtained from a time-dependent simulation.
This aim of this course is to equip an engineer or researcher with the knowledge to run unsteady CFD simulations for the application of his interest. After the course, the participant will be able to:
- choose the adequate unsteady technique
- prepare computational grid for that is required for the chosen technique
- chose appropriate spatial and temporal discretization and other parameters in the simulation
- run the simulation and do appropriate monitoring of the results
- postprocessor the results and evaluate the quality of the achieved prediction
We will start with introduction in how time-dependent techniques such as Large-Eddy Simulations (LES), Detached-Eddy Simulations (DES), Partially-Averaged Navies-Stokes (PANS) and unsteady RANS (URANS) can be used in vehicle aerodynamics. We will discuss differences between these techniques and give best practical guidelines for usage of each technique. We will show when each of the techniques could/should be used and how to use it.
We believe that the course is useful for engineers and researcher in all industrial sectors where unsteady flows are of importance. The practical example that we will study during the course come from vehicle aerodynamics and bluff body aerodynamics but the method is by no means limited to these two fields. The same methodology can be used in many other industrial fields where separated and unsteady flows occur.
The course will cover three important applications of CFD techniques in industry: prediction using unsteady CFD simulations (LES, DES, PANS, URANS), CFD for flow control and aerodynamic shape optimization.
09.00-12.00 Introductions to time-dependent numerical techniques for vehicle aerodynamics LES, URANS, DES, PANS, numerical aspects, modeling, grids etc.

13.15-15.00 Optimization using surrogate-based modeling, automatic shape optimization.
15.15-17.00 Workshop: Optimization of vehicle shapes using RANS and URANS, response surfaces, neural networks and genetic algorithms.
Computer Workshops
The course consists of one theoretical and one practical part. The practical part contains three computer exercises. The flow cases used in our exercises are taken directly from our research which makes the exercises realistic and thus more relevant for participants than pure academic simplified cases.
For the description of the computer exercises please see:
Teacher and instructor
The lectures and the workshops will be given by Professor Krajnovic form Chalmers University in Gothenburg, Sweden. Professor Krajnovic pioneered the use of Large Eddy Simulation (LES) technique for the study of vehicle aerodynamics flows. He has written widely on application of unsteady simulations such as LES and hybrid approaches (such as Detached Eddy Simulation (DES) and Partially-Averaged Navier Stokes (PANS)) in aerodynamics of road vehicles, trains and other bluff bodies. His current interests include: prediction of aerodynamics flows, development of hybrid numerical approaches (such as PANS), vehicle aerodynamic shape optimization and flow control.
Prof. Krajnovic is head of Vehicle Aerodynamic Laboratory at Chalmers. Established in 2009, Vehicle Aerodynamic Laboratory is devoted to fundamental and applied numerical research in vehicle aerodynamics. Education of a new generation CFD engineers and researches in vehicle aerodynamics is the core of Vehicle Aerodynamic Laboratory (http://www.tfd.chalmers.se/~sinisa/)
Organization of the course
The course is given during three days and consists of lectures and computer workshops. During the lectures we will discuss the theory and during the workshops we will learn how to prepare, run and analyze different time-dependent CFD simulations. Furthermore, MATLAB programs will be used for aerodynamic shape optimization. There will be a PC workstation for each participant at the workshops.
Computer Workshops
The course consists of one theoretical and one practical part. The practical part contains three computer exercises. The flow cases used in our exercises are taken directly from our research which makes the exercises realistic and thus more relevant for participants than pure academic simplified cases.

There are some odd things about Nate's new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn't perfect, it's livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don't nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela's apartment. And Tim's. And Veek's.
"Super solid listen!!"
The Mongol army led by Genghis Khan subjugated more lands and people in 25 years than the Romans did in 400. In nearly every country the Mongols conquered, they brought an unprecedented rise in cultural communication, expanded trade, and a blossoming of civilization.
"Brilliant, insightful, intriguing."
Graham Greene's evocative analysis of the love of self, the love of another, and the love of God is an English classic that has been translated for the stage, the screen, and even the opera house. Academy Award-winning actor Colin Firth (The King's Speech, A Single Man) turns in an authentic and stirring performance for this distinguished audio release.
"Colin Firth Kills It"
Richard Dawkins' brilliant reformulation of the theory of natural selection has the rare distinction of having provoked as much excitement and interest outside the scientific community as within it. His theories have helped change the whole nature of the study of social biology, and have forced thousands to rethink their beliefs about life.
"Better than print!"
Jim Paul's meteoric rise took him from a small town in Northern Kentucky to governor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, yet he lost it all - his fortune, his reputation, and his job - in one fatal attack of excessive economic hubris. In this honest, frank analysis, Paul and Brendan Moynihan revisit the events that led to Paul's disastrous decision and examine the psychological factors behind bad financial practices in several economic sectors.
Not too long from today, a new, highly contagious virus makes its way across the globe. Most who get sick experience nothing worse than flu, fever, and headaches. But for the unlucky one percent - and nearly five million souls in the United States alone - the disease causes "Lock In": Victims fully awake and aware, but unable to move or respond to stimulus. The disease affects young, old, rich, poor, people of every color and creed. The world changes to meet the challenge.
"Ready for Part 2"
F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic American novel of the Roaring Twenties is beloved by generations of readers and stands as his crowning work. This new audio edition, authorized by the Fitzgerald estate, is narrated by Oscar-nominated actor Jake Gyllenhaal (Brokeback Mountain). Gyllenhaal's performance is a faithful delivery in the voice of Nick Carraway, the Midwesterner turned New York bond salesman, who rents a small house next door to the mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby....

"A stepping stone to the final confrontation!"
The Perigord of 16th-century France is a wild region on the edge of the reaches of royal authority - its steep, forested valleys roamed by bands of brigands and gypsies, its communities divided by conflict between Catholics and converts to the new Protestant faith, the Huguenots. To this beautiful but dangerous country come two veterans of the French king's wars, Jean de Siorac and Jean de Sauveterre, The Brethren - as fiercely loyal to the crown as they are to their Huguenot religion.

He explores the different legacies of colonialism in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, and offers a clear-eyed account of why some regions have thrived and developed more quickly than others.

Years ago, Vlad Taltos came from the East, to make his way as a human amidst the impossibly tall, fantastically long-lived natives of the Dragaeran Empire. He joined the Jhereg, the Dragaeran House (of which there are seventeen) that handles the Empire's vices: gambling, rackets, organized crime. He became a professional assassin. He was good at it. But that was then, before Vlad and the Jhereg became mortal enemies. For years, Vlad has run from one end of the Empire to the other, avoiding the Jhereg assassins who pursue him.

The end cannot be long delayed. For Admiral Smith and the crew of HMS Ark Royal, the stakes have never been so high. The one hope is to make contact with alien factions that might oppose the war. But, as Ark Royal sets off on a desperate diplomatic mission, it rapidly becomes clear that there are both human and alien factions that wish to fight the war to the bitter end...

He has become a celebrated painter, and at the opening of one of his exhibitions, Hayat, the daughter of his old revolutionary commander, unexpectedly reenters Khaled's life.
Conventional wisdom holds that same-sex marriage is a purely modern innovation, a concept born of an overtly modern lifestyle that was unheard of in nineteenth century America. But as Rachel Hope Cleves demonstrates in this eye-opening book, same-sex marriage is hardly new. Born in 1777, Charity Bryant was raised in Massachusetts. A brilliant and strong-willed woman with a clear attraction for her own sex, Charity found herself banished from her family home at age twenty.
When Mike Rodenska, a former journalist still grieving the loss of his wife, pays his old war buddy Troy Jamison a long overdue visit in Florida, he's shocked at what he finds.

Troy surrendered his life to drink once before.
Cent can teleport. So can her parents, but they are the only people in the world who can. This is not as great as you might think it would be - sure, you can go shopping in Japan and then have tea in London, but it's hard to keep a secret like that. And there are people, dangerous people, who work for governments and have guns, who want to make you do just this one thing for them. And when you're a teenage girl things get even more complicated. High school. Boys. Global climate change, refugees, and genocide. Orbital mechanics.
"Great young adult read."

The Skinny On The Search Engine World
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) are, for all intents and purposes, the top two companies in Internet search. Google is dominant in many countries, while Bing has taken over second place thanks not only to its own search engine but also its alliance to be the engine behind Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO) Search.
First, we'll take you to Europe where several search engines are ganging up on one; then we come stateside to Washington, where all the search engines were put on notice by the federal government.
(Anti-) trust, but verify
Dateline Brussels, Belgium, where the European Union Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia is getting feedback on the "field test" of recommended changes by Google in regards to making its search results more balanced, instead of favoring Google and its affiliated websites at the top of results regardless of relevance to the search query. Almunia has been investigating Google for more than two years on charges of anti-trust violations regarding its search results, which has shown to push down rival or competing products and services in the results.
Google was demanded to come up with a list of remedies for this issue, and the recommendations have been put through a field market test to see how they would function. Results are not good for Google, as FairSearch—an Internet watchdog consortium of 17 companies, including Microsoft—has spoken out about the preliminary results of the field test.
"It would be better to do nothing than to accept Google's proposals," said FairSearch's Thomas Vinje. "The proposals would make things worse rather than better."
It may still be months before the European Commission makes its final decision on the case.
Warning shot?
Back in Washington, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo! are all on the same team this time, as they and nearly 20 other top search engines in the U.S. (including specialized travel and hotel search sites) all received a warning letter from the friendly folks at the Federal Trade Commission, letting them know that deceptive advertising in their search results would not be tolerated. And we mean it this time.
The FTC apparently seems ready to start enforcing some rules regarding advertisements in search results, especially those positioned at the top of the first page of results. Have you felt deceived by these ads in how they look?
The letter, addressed to Google, Microsoft and Yahoo!, advised the companies to make sure their "above-the-fold" ads on the front page of search results are very clearly distinguishable from the regular search results.
In its letter to the companies, the FTC wrote, "We have observed that search engines have reduced the font size of some text labels to identify top ads and other advertising and often locate these labels in the top right-hand corner of the shaded area ... Consumers may not as readily notice the labels when placed in the top right-hand corner, especially when the labels are presented in small print and relate to more than one result."
Final thoughts
Obviously, Google has a stranglehold on the search engine marketplace with an estimated 66.5% of all web activity, according to comScore, above Microsoft's 17.3% and Yahoo!'s 12.0% share. Still, it's worth realizing that all three of these Internet giants are open to regulatory risks, whether it be the aforementioned FTC request or the ongoing European Union drama. Continue reading about the EU/search engine saga here.

CIA recruiting at Virginia Tech
"The single shooter was unusally effective at killing, almost as if he had been trained to do so." --mparent7777
From November 2005 . . .
For the second time this year, the Central Intelligence Agency will be coming to Virginia Tech to recruit students.
And for the second time this year, they will be met with protests from students who view the CIA as an immoral organization that engages in torture and murder.
Nicholas Kiersey organized a protest last spring when the CIA came to campus. He released the following statement Monday about the CIA's trip to Torgeson 3100 Thursday at 7 p.m.:
"Blacksburg, VA November 13, 2005 - A coalition of concerned graduate students and campus organizations at Virginia Tech are this Thursday staging a 'teach in' to protest CIA recruitment on campus. Planned events also include the protest of a 'career information' session to be held by the CIA later that evening.
On November 2nd, 2005 the Washington Post published an article entitled "CIA Holds Terror Suspects in Secret Prisons". The article reported that the CIA has set up a covert network of secret prisons and interrogation centers, known as "black sites", in several countries around the world, including several democracies in Eastern Europe and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Prisoners at these facilities are held indefinitely and often in isolation, without due process of the law. Moreover, CIA interrogators working at these sites are permitted to use the CIA's approved "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques," some of which are prohibited by the U.N. convention and by U.S. military law. Among the tactics approved for use are "waterboarding", intended to induce in prisoners the idea that they are drowning.
While intelligence officials defend the unrestricted operation of these sites as necessary for the successful defense of the country, it should be noted that both the sites and the suspected practices carried out at them would be illegal if operated within the USA, which is a signatory to the U.N. Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. Importantly, the same is true for the democratic host states in Eastern Europe where some of these sites are located.
The 'Teach In' will take place on Thursday, Nov. 17, 5-6.30pm, in Torgerson 3100. The event will feature talks by Virginia Tech instructors and the presentation of a draft letter to President Steger's office, signed by a number of concerned Virginia Tech faculty and students.
The letter will request that Virginia Tech place a moratorium on all CIA activities on Virginia Tech's campus until such time as a thorough and independent investigation certifies that the organization has been thoroughly reformed and no longer engages in practices that contravene international law and basic standards of human rights.
The CIA's scheduled 'career information' session will take place at 7pm in the same location.
Sponsoring campus organizations include: The International Club and Amnesty International at Virginia Tech."

Va. Tech Massacre Video
There are some yahoo video links here that are working -
The Virginia Tech massacre occurred on April 16
- Log in to post comments
The big questions that should be on EVERYONE's mind is:
(1) WHO got shot/died, and who didn't.
(2) Who BENEFITS?!
(3) This is obviously a "professional" job --- WHO is COVERING UP, feeding us with disinformation.
The answer to question (1) leads to (2) which naturally leads to the answer of question (3).
Folks, we solved the case with Columbine, Katrina, Asian "Tsunami" of 2004, USS Liberty, Project Northwoods, 9/11 --- we can solve this also!!!

"Tsunami" of 2004? Do you
"Tsunami" of 2004? Do you think Joe Vialls was correct? There's no evidence it was deliberate...
As for this new massacre, there's surely much more to it than the media is saying. Let's see how long it takes for the media to start talking about gun control.

Three words "Kent State Shooting"
This will never rightly be a gun control story i will venture.
Events of 1970 are sure going around again. This swing of history has it's own twists and turns but the first thing i though about upon hearing the news on the radio this morning was Kent State and National guardsmen gunning up a crowd of anti-war protesters there. Not the same thing i will admit but the same sorts of terror effects will ensue from this i think. And i do think this will be used to REMOVE your right to arms and there protections.
Events not Virgina Tech will never get through this. 20x Anna and Imus just left for his Island never to be seen again.
Now the NEWS is all that much harder to get on the events of Dire Importance for all.
Who Gains? Always ask this first.
First you take D.C. Then you take New York.
First you take D.C. Then you take New York :)

Re: Three words "Kent State Shooting"
If Americans were to read (if they could read) "The Kent State Coverup," by Joseph Kelner and James Munves, they'd realize that the "official" story again is a lie. The students were on their way to class (not protesting) earlier in the day with the the National Guard killers close by. Seemingly oblivious to what was about to take place, the students had no idea that one of the killers would accidently fire off a round (.45 caliber mind you--definitely meant to kill and not "deter") to start a chain reaction that became the reason for the slaughter and maiming of one of the first justifiable murders on our home ground resulting in increased reasons to justifiably taking away our guns. Those damn students. Why couldn't they just have stayed home!

FORT WORTH, Texas (BP) -- While the battle over same-sex marriage still rages, it is hard to imagine what the next battle might be. However, astute observers of the marriage debate have already seen the newest challenge to the definition of marriage -- polygamy.
In a recent article on Slate.com, Jillian Keenan proposes that the legalization of polygamous marriage is a desired result of the current marriage debate. She argues:
"While the Supreme Court and the rest of us are all focused on the human right of marriage equality, let's not forget that the fight doesn't end with same-sex marriage. We need to legalize polygamy, too. Legalized polygamy in the United States is the constitutional, feminist, and sex-positive choice. More importantly, it would actually help protect, empower, and strengthen women, children, and families."
Keenan is not playing the "same-sex marriage is a slippery slope" card to argue against same-sex marriage. In fact, she ridicules that argument as a "tired refrain." Instead, she brands herself as a feminist who believes polygamy is in the best interest of women and society and perfectly in keeping with the arguments for same-sex marriage.
Besides the 2011 lawsuit to decriminalize bigamy and polygamy in Utah filed by the stars of TLC's "Sister Wives," the discussion of polygamy and its connection to the same-sex marriage debate has been fairly silent. Keenan, however, wishes to end that silence.
While admitting that the argument against polygamy has generally been that it hurts women and children, Keenan believes legalization would actually benefit them. She claims that polygamists live in the shadows and fear the authorities. If they were allowed to live in the open, they would be more likely to report instances of abuse.
In addition, she believes feminists should support polygamy because it empowers women. She states:
"Finally, prohibiting polygamy on 'feminist' grounds -- that these marriages are inherently degrading to the women involved -- is misguided. The case for polygamy is, in fact, a feminist one and shows women the respect we deserve. Here's the thing: As women, we really can make our own choices. We just might choose things people don't like. If a woman wants to marry a man, that's great. If she wants to marry another woman, that's great too. If she wants to marry a hipster, well -- I suppose that's the price of freedom. And if she wants to marry a man with three other wives, that's her ... choice."
At the end of her article, she gets down to the fundamental argument for why polygamy ought to be legalized. On this point, her logic is sound -- I just disagree with her first premise. She declares:
"The definition of marriage is plastic. Just like heterosexual marriage is no better or worse than homosexual marriage, marriage between two consenting adults is not inherently more or less 'correct' than marriage among three (or four, or six) consenting adults. Though polygamists are a minority -- a tiny minority, in fact -- freedom has no value unless it extends to even the smallest and most marginalized groups among us. So let's fight for marriage equality until it extends to every same-sex couple in the United States -- and then let's keep fighting. We're not done yet."
Keenan's entire argument is built upon the idea that the definition of marriage is plastic. She believes it is constantly changing and must always expand to include the newest idea.
This is the clear connection to the same-sex marriage debate.
The current battle over marriage involves the definition of marriage. Proponents of same-sex marriage (and supporters of polygamy) consider marriage to be an intimate, emotional relationship between individuals. They offer no basis for discrimination according to gender or number. Thus, the "new" definition of marriage would allow for same-sex marriage and polygamy. If culture, and specifically the government, adopts this new definition of marriage, then Keenan is right. There will be no choice but to legalize polygamy as well as same-sex marriage. However, Keenan does not go far enough. Incest is the next step of progression. We could add to her argument above: "If a woman wants to marry a man, that's great. If she wants to marry another woman, that's great too. If she wants to marry a hipster, well -- I suppose that's the price of freedom." The next line should read: "If she even wants to marry her brother, that's her choice."
This is the direction of the debate. Keenan has opened the door and publicly stated what others have been ridiculed for saying. The definition of marriage matters. A redefinition of marriage will undermine the entire concept of marriage that has been recognized throughout human history. As Chief Justice John Roberts stated during oral arguments before the Supreme Court: "If you tell a child that somebody has to be their friend, I suppose you can force the child to say, 'This is my friend.' But it changes the definition of what it means to be a friend." If we tell people they can marry whomever they wish no matter the gender, number, or blood relationship, I suppose we could call that marriage. However, it changes the definition of what it means to be married.

Fake Condoms That Make Us ROTFL

What's the quickest way to freak people out on your airplane flight? Slap a sticker of a gagged-and-bound woman on the outside of your suitcase.
The sticker was featured on the Today Show this morning, along with another product from thecheeky.com called a "hickytat" that allows you to "brand the one you love" with epithets such as "Love Hurts" and "She's Mine."
So creepy.

Chris Brown brought a fan onstage during a recent performance in Detroit, where he proceeded to grind, strip off his shirt, and kiss and suck … her knee! Check out the video below. Do you think Chris went too far with his fan appreciation? Maybe he just has a secret knee fetish, LOL.
Bristol Palin was riding a mechanical bull at the Saddle Ranch in West Hollywood last night when a drunk guy started heckling her and dissing her mother, former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
The patron yelled "Your mother's a whore!" Bristol marched up to him and got in a heated discussion. After the bargoer told Bristol he thought her mom was "evil," she asked," Is it because you're a homosexual?" Bristol walked away and left the bar with her friends, followed by a bevy of reality TV cameras and shouts of "White trash Wasilla!" and "You f**king b*tch!"
The heckler was definitely out of line, but Bristol's quip about his sexuality was uncalled for. Does she think that her mom is so hot that no straight man could possibly hate her? Watch the video below and decided for yourself if she handled the situation well.
A Charlie's Angels crew member was fired in August after sexually harassing actress Minka Kelly. He reportedly slapped her on the butt on set while waving a $100 bill. Minka was so upset that when he tried to apologize the next day, she slapped him in the face. The show producers were none too pleased either, terminating his employment.
"It was just a misunderstanding," said the former crew member. Hopefully the creep learned that women aren't into being publicly treated like prostitutes by men they hardly know!
Courtney Stodden, 17-year-old bride of Lost actor Doug Hutchison, who is 34 years her senior, has just signed a deal to produce a reality show about the couple's lives.
Stodden's mother said, "They're going to be very, very open about their lives. They want everybody to see their life. Nothing is off limits."
More stuff like this creepy video, you say?
Oh, goody.
Silvio Berlusconi, the 74-year-old prime minister of Italy, is currently under investigation for allegedly using taxpayer money and government aircraft to jet around the country with prostitutes. Berlusconi was wire-tapped by investigators and transcripts of the taped conversations were leaked last weekend. Here are some of the gems that surfaced:
Oh, to pass the days with my babes; I'm just the prime minister in my spare time.
Last night I had a queue outside my door, there were 11 of them. I only managed to do eight of them, I couldn't manage any more. You just can't get round to all of them … But this morning I feel great, I'm pleased with my stamina.
Don't bring tall girls because we [he and his other guests] are not tall.
Berlusconi also referred to a 29-year-old showgirl as "an old lady."
What a d-bag!
While out partying in NYC last night with her mother, Dina (anyone else creeped out by that?), Lindsay Lohan allegedly threw drinks at two other partygoers. One was Jaspin Rischen, an assigned photographer for V Magazine, sponsor of the party Lohan was attending. He later tweeted:
"Wow. Lindsay Lohan is as trashy as they always say," he wrote. "She threw drinks and glasses to me as we tried to take a shot for @vmagazine. [bleep]"
Classy, as ever.
