Richard Dawkins, the militant atheist, is smart: but not that smart. He supports the distribution of King James Bibles in United Kingdom schools to show students its impact on their history, language, literature, and democracy. Even so, why would a man who says that belief in God is irrational and harmful to human society support such a plan? He does indeed have another motive. He said: "People who do not know the bible well have been gulled into thinking it is a good guide to morality. Whatever else the Bible might be - and it really is a great work of literature - it is not a moral book and young people need to learn that important fact because they are frequently told the opposite." He reasons that when people read the Bible for themselves, they will be more likely to reject it.
In God's providence, Dawkins has given us an opportunity to use him in perpetuity to teach others a thing or two about God, His Word, and His power. And maybe, Dawkins may learn something himself.
First, God has often used unlikely sources to advance His gospel. In so doing, He not only demonstrates His sovereignty over all things but He also causes the so-called foolish things of the world to shame the wise (1 Cor. 1:27). Among others, God used a lying spirit to advance His cause (1 Ki. 22:20f); He referred to wicked Cyrus as His Messiah and used him for the sake of His people so that he might know that the Lord Himself alone was God (Isa. 45:1f); He caused unbelieving Caiaphas to affirm Christ's atoning work (Jn. 18:14); and He moved Pontius Pilate to proclaim the sinless nature of Jesus (Lk. 23:4). Dawkins is just another individual in a long line of unbelievers used of God to advance the gospel.
Second, Dawkins does not understand that it is the Scriptures that God uses to judicially harden some in unbelief, which glorifies God, not proves Dawkins, and at the same time it is the Scriptures that God uses to soften others to salvation, something which Dawkins can't fathom because of his spiritual blindness. In those two realities the gospel is always triumphant (2 Cor. 2:14-17). In the end, it is not atheism or Dawkins that will triumph but God alone.
Such efforts by unbelievers are simply reminders of the truthfulness of God's Word and the reality of who He is. A pagan king uttered these words after seeing God's glory: "All the inhabitants of the earth [are] reputed as nothing; He does according to His will in the army of heaven and [among] the inhabitants of the earth. No one can restrain His hand or say to Him, 'What have You done?' (Dan. 4:35)." God will accomplish His purpose. We can only pray that Dawkins will "get smart (Prov. 9:10)" and utter similar words in faith before it's too late.

Hi Cathyites!! I know it's a comic and it's just supposed to be funny — but does anyone here really buy a new bathing suit every year. I have one I like, and I've had it at least 5 years.

I have massive insecurities. But above everything, there is the insecurity of chasing after something that never existed in the first place - or something that wasn't worth the chase to begin with. Tonight, at the Kent Ridge track, between sets of pull ups and ring rows, I broke down and cried. Thank God for the darkness that surrounded me, and to the random who didn't ask if I was okay.
CrossFit is fucking intense - but at the same time, it can be a walk in the park. If you want to go easy on yourself, it's easy. You just score less or take a longer time to complete. So I guess what I'm saying is that, like life, CrossFit is a game of choices. You decide what you want out of it and you deal with the consequences that come with it. If you're competitive and hate losing to other people, then you're gonna have to beat your body up harder than the rest of the folks. It's just how it works. If you're okay with just getting some sweat in and you're not pressed to get to somewhere new, then go ahead. Take ten minutes to do one squat. Nobody cares. It's your body, and your life.
I'm competitive by nature, and that's all great and shit on a resume because apparently it makes you more driven and everything that's awesomesauce. But you know what's wrong with being competitive? It becomes a huge problem when you're competing for the sake of being competitive. When something isn't working the way it's supposed to, or if your body just doesn't function the same way as someone else's, you start doubting yourself because that's how you've learnt to measure your worth - through comparing yourself with the people around you.
I started CrossFitting to learn to be comfortable in my own skin - to know that I don't need to be part of a team to define who I am, to accept that wanting to be better everyday already makes me good enough. For the last 5 weeks, I've been stressed out, worried and just basically spun out of control in my little axis, trying to figure out where we will stand - where I will stand at the end of everything. Maybe the problem lies within the fact that I want too much, too soon. I want the box to qualify and I want to go to Korea - but I don't know why I want these things anymore. All it seems to do is lead me further into that deceptive idea of being measured by how well you do instead of who you are.

This toddler had an "accident" in the shower. She's a little girl. Forgiven.Her father made light of the situation and placed a sign around her neck and then took a picture to remember the moment.But what he did next sparked outrage...Instead of stashing the picture for that embarrasing 21st album, he posted the photo on a public image board on Reddit for everyone to see.While some members thought it funny, others raised concerns saying..."You don't make a child tough and resilient by having her parents, who are meant to be the two people in the world she can trust absolutely, set out to embarrass her in the most public of settings. That makes a child insecure, because it teaches her she can't trust the people closest to her," wrote Redditor "likepix.""[Young] kids don't really have enough sense to consent or understand the ramifications of something like this. This picture is digital, on the internet, and could embarrass her for the rest of her life," user "emperorOfTheUniverse" wrote.Dad's comment: "She can sue me for 'defecation.'"
View full image hereWhat do you think Kidspotters? Cute or has dad gone too far?
I'm a parent... Come on PARENTS. I can't see this kind of parenting, I bet the father has gone in the shower at home, and at the gym. So stop it. Teach the children to go before or after. You Dum A !!!!
P.S. I'm sorry to be using the A word but this just steams me up.
Definately NOT cute or funny! All this tells me about the father is that he has absolutely no respect for his daughter! I hope she has better role models than him!
It might have been funny to him but he didnt need to put it online
It's going to be interesting to see what kind of relationship they have as dad & daughter when she gets older & has this held over her head for the next 16 years.....Think before you post!
not fair...
poor little darling... what great role models her parents are.... not.
humilation like this is of the worst kind. what an idiot he is... he needs to grow up.
I love your work meedee!
He's a moron

Cumbrian train delayed after 'bottle attack' on man
Last updated at 12:09, Tuesday, 22 May 2012
Passengers faced long delays after a 40-year-old man was "bottled" on a train in Workington.
The incident happened on the Carlisle to Barrow train yesterday afternoon.
People boarded the 3.10pm train at Workington, only to remain in the station for about 45 minutes.
One eye witness wrote on social networking site Twitter: "Train delayed looks like someone's been bottled on it."
He later reported that the police were on board clearing up a broken bottle, and taking the man's details.
Paramedics were also called to check the man's head wound, but they left him on board to continue his journey home as he did not want to go to hospital.
The train did not leave Workington until almost 4pm.
A British Transport Police spokesman said: "A passenger received head injuries on board the train but, after receiving treatment from an ambulance crew, indicated that he did not wish to make a complaint."
Police are appealing for anyone who witnessed anything on board the train to contact them.

Telecom portal shut after 70% of customers found to be using default passwords
Summary: Top Dutch telecom firm shuts its customer self-service portal after discovering users not bothering to change default password.
The Netherlands leading telecommunications company closed its customer self-service management portal Thursday after discovering that nearly 70% of its users had not changed the default password after they opened their accounts.
KPN said 120,000 of the 180,000 users of its Business Z-ADSL self-care portal were using the password "welkom01," which is automatically set when an account is created. Another 20,000 users had user names that were also their passwords.
KPN customers were not required to change the default password, even though the portal was used for account management, including contact details, bank account numbers, and subscription services. The portal also allowed users to change their passwords, an option hackers could have used to easily hijack accounts.
It is not uncommon for computer hardware to ship with default passwords already installed, but online services typically let users create their own usernames and passwords.
The situation was reported to KPN by the IDG Netherlands web site Webwereld, which was tipped off by Robert 4U IT, an IT services firm, and a subsequent story was posted by IDG's ComputerWorld.
The company said it was not aware of the issue and praised Webwereld for informing KPN of the situation. KPN said the portal was immediately "slammed shut" and registration procedures were altered to make the site more secure.
The company said no accounts were hacked, but all 140,000 were automatically reset. Customers were sent an email telling them how to reset their passwords.
The site is now back online and KPN apologized to its customers.

Keeping The Same Tabs Open For 9 Days Straight Because They Contain Information Relevant To Tasks You're Too Lazy To Complete - A novel by me
(Source: xbox420, via charming-gardener)
Got a lyric, just need the rest of them and a tune
There is no polite practice I dislike as much as I participate in than placing a napkin on my lap during a meal.
Who started this? It was a man. I have never dropped food and have it land on my napkin-sheathed lap. Every woman knows it hits your tits first.
The patriarchy strikes again.
Trigger - Eating Disorder
I ate out alone the other night, and it was a weird experience. I eat alone. I eat out. But generally not at the same time. Especially not at night.
It was Tuesday evening - La noche de los libros or International Book Day. Remembering this shortly after eventually making my way to the library, I bailed on my work. Instead I spent the afternoon looking around pop up book markets (being propositioned by a middle aged architect), drinking coffee and reading one of the books for my dissertation (Atxaga's The Accordeonist's Son). After attending a conversation between two directors on the relationship between art and film, I planned to go to a poetry slam. When I arrived at the bar there was no one there and I was starving. I remembered having walked past a Greek restaurant just a little down the road. I walked back. I read the menu. I walked away. I read the menu. Everything sounded delicious. I walked away. I texted a friend to see if she wanted to come to the poetry slam. I read the menu.
I was happy. I had spent the day by myself and it had been fucking marvellous. What was I doing hesitating on the doorway to a restaurant offering the perfect end to my day? I didn't want to be that person eating dinner on their own. A café in the middle of the day on your own is perfectly acceptable, why should dinner be any different? But it is. The image of a woman eating out alone conjures up a scene from a poor romcom of a woman recently dumped, pushing food across her plate as she mourns the loss of love and her current loneliness. But that isn't what I was feeling. I was feeling hungry. So I took the plunge.
I went inside. I asked the waiter for a table for one and I sat down. He looked at me sympathetically and asked how I was. The pity in his face made me think again. But I just replied I was fine and asked for a menu. I looked around briefly; I was the only person dining alone. I ordered. Gemista (red pepper stuffed with rice and roasted vegetables, and a glass of wine. Haters have been known to hate. As I waited I was still quite tense - what were the other diners thinking of me? And the waiters? Who was this twenty-something year old woman who couldn't find someone to eat out with her and obviously had no one waiting for her at home? Then came the food. The goodness. I took a bite. The flip switched. Bodily pleasures are the best. I know, I know, I study literature, I attend a university whose student body prides itself on its cerebral culture, too much heavy drinking and clubbing bores me to tears, but even the most engaging discussion doesn't satisfy me quite as much as the thrilling three as I have just now decided to call them (I'm a sucker for terrible alliteration) - dancing, food and that other one. And if I'm really truthful the last one is so rare in my life I'm happy to just settle for dancing and food. I would trade all the intellectual discussions in the world, even those ones where someone really gets your philosophy, for beautiful food and someone to dance with.
Digression - it's a wonderful thing, right? With that first sweet, comforting bite I was overwhelmed by just how little I cared about my image and how much I cared about enjoying my body. Enjoying the hot pepper and sticky rice, the smooth, fruity wine that warmed my chest and flushed my cheeks (ooo-er). And so I sat and I ate and I drank. Then came dessert, the best frozen yoghurt of all time. As I let each spoonful melt in my mouth I wondered why I had been so scared. Why I was comparing myself to the people sitting with their friends or family or partners? Our experiences of the restaurant were entirely different things. I had overhead snippets of conversation - two young women were eating out, one obviously with her visiting friend from England and I noticed this dance "Oh I'm not really hungry…oh when I see the food I just can't really stop myself!" and maybe these were just honest comments but they reminded me of those landmines of eating with another woman - am I eating too much? Too little? I'm really hungry but what if they think I'm criticising the amount they've ordered? Will they judge me for ordering a dessert? I, for the most part, will always do what I want with food, but I do justify my decisions to eating partners ("Oh I'll just have the salad because I ate a huge lunch!…I'm starving because I haven't eaten since brunch!..I've been so good lately, so I deserve some ice cream!") and I realised that none of those thoughts had crossed my mind. I picked my food purely because that's what I wanted and I enjoyed every single bite, no guilt, no reasoning, just eating. But that's what eating alone is. It's eating. It's enjoying eating. That's nothing to be ashamed of. Equally those dances around food when with other people aren't shameful either. They're thinking beyond yourself - most young women I know have or have had at some point a troubled relationship with food, mild or extreme, those phrases allow us to recognise those issues and they try (perhaps not always that successfully) to remove some of the stress from the situation by showing some form of control. Because eating with other people is not really about the food, it's about the interaction.
And it is late now. And I've lost track of my thought. I'll publish and edit in the morning.

El eslogan asociado con todos los movimientos de anti-racismo, anti-sexismo, y anti-opresión, movimientos de igualdad, con el repentino aumento del feminismo por jóvenes periodistas y por los blogs se ha entrado en el debate de nuevo. Acabo de leer un artículo por Zoe Williams, una periodista de periódico inglés, The Guardian, abordando esta idea de privilegio en el discurso feminista, y toca dos temas que durante los últimos meses me preocupaban: el privilegio que tengo y la lucha interna entre las feministas. El artículo refiere a un episodio reciente cuando alguien le acusó a Mary Beard, una historiadora famosa en Inglaterra, de ser racista en Twitter. Parece que a final estas acusaciones fueron injustificadas pero antes de descubrir esto un grupo de feministas interseccionalidad lanzó un ataque a otra mujer que pidió evidencia.
En mi definición de feminismo no cabe la mentalidad racista, y creo que es una idea universal – el feminismo no se concierne solo con las mujeres blancas de la clase media, sino todas las mujeres de cualquiera raza, sexualidad, religión, o clase social. Pero entiendo esta reacción contra la mujer blanca de clase media, he notado cuando le pregunto a alguien si es feminista o no, los que me responden con no dicen que es que ahora no necesitamos el feminismo, ya hemos ganado todas las batallas . Como Isabel antes, puedo pensar en miles razones por las cuales esta afirmación es incorrecta, sin embargo entiendo como gente de una situación parecida a la mía pueden llegar a esta conclusión. No me han rechazado ninguna oportunidad por mi género, al menos no abiertamente. Mi madre luchó por ganar el mismo dinero que los médicos generalistas masculinos hace veinte años, pero esto ocurrió hace veinte años, ¿verdad? Pero esta lucha fue suya, la mía es diferente, y a veces lucho por otras.
Estoy segura de que puedo tener éxito a pesar de mi género, pero el feminismo es más que una mujer, mi situación no es tuya ni la de las mujeres en Afganistán, ni una negra en los EEUU, ni una irlandesa de clase obrera. Y no soy ninguna de estas mujeres, a veces me encuentro mal cuando hablo del feminismo; soy blanca, de clase media, cisgénero, heterosexual, ¿mis pensamientos son los de la burguesa blanca que habla sobre una situación que no conoce de verdad? Quizás, y es por eso que creo que el feminismo necesita recordar que una idea de la condición de ser mujer y feminista no es la única. Discriminación de género no ha terminado sino ha cambiado. Aunque privilegio permanece un problema en el debate feminista, no cree que lo resolvamos por insultar a las mujeres con privilegio sino por presentar las otras verdades de ser mujer. El feminismo no puede llegar a ser lo normal si las feministas seguimos luchando entre nosotras. Con un movimiento que es, al base, filosófico, hay que haber diferentes escuelas de pensamiento, y todas no pueden ser tuyas, pero puedes respetarlas en cierta manera, incluso a Femen, pero dejo mis pensamientos sobre este grupo para otro día.

What Are the Most Indispensable Items In Your Home?
Or in other words, what can you absolutely not live without? It could be modern conveniences, like a washing machine. Maybe it's your favorite cooking pots you make your family's meals with. Perhaps it's the organization tools you use that help tame a particularly messy part of your home. Maybe it's even a collection of items that make up your favorite corner in your home that you relax in every day.
We're curious to know what items in your home you consider to be absolute necessities. There's no limit on how many you can choose — ten items vital to one person might be nine items too many for someone else. But why consider this question? Why wonder what it is that you can't live without?
Consider it an exercise in thinking about what you can live without, if you're on a quest to let go, declutter and simplify. Jot down a short list in the comments below; we'd love to hear about the things in your home you can't live without! (And while you're perfectly allowed to mention them, we assume your loved ones and furry pets automatically make the list!)

For a true emergency: My spouse and his and my ever-packed travel bags, containing one of change of clothing and small amounts of our medicines and our cat. Everything else we can replace, if needed.
You do understand the cat is not part of the luggage, I hope. Sloppy sentence structure on my part. Sorry.
Most definitely the washer and dryer. I'm condo-hunting and the presence or lack of appliance hookups is a deciding factor. I haven't shared laundry facilities since 1991, and I'm not going back. Everything else is negotiable.
Transitioning from my parents' house to a college dorm to an upper flat with 3 roommates to a one bedroom apartment with my boyfriend has taught me to never under appreciate a garbage disposal. I'm avoiding doing the dishes because the sink is clogged. Living in 100+ year old buildings has its quirks!
Vital items?
Our Keuring Coffee Maker (with the two single cup coffee pods - we don't pay for the little individual pod packs)
Our back up Mr. Coffee 12-Cup Coffee Pot (serious coffee addicts here)
The Pug's Kennels - One for sleeping in and one for traveling. If he is not kenneled at night or while out running errands, he likes to dump over the garbage cans, sneaky guy!
Our Cell Phones - How did we ever survive with land lines, stand alone alarm clocks and instant access to cameras and the internet?
Our Computers - One laptop for me, One desktop for my sister and our back up laptop. (Of course, the extras for the computers: wireless keyboards and mice ;-), external hard drives, routers, monitors and various other electronic gadgetry)
Our SUV - The vital item for getting us to and from and while it isn't physically in our home, it is part of our home. Great for road trips!
Renter's Insurance - Always great to have a little peace of mind in case we ever lost these vital items.
Ourselves - I'm pretty darn vital and so is my sister! Without us, who would be living our lives?
I think we truly have many items we consider "vital;" and yet, we could probably do quite well without these "vital" items; we just don't to.
Hmm-- if I had to quickly evacuate my house, I'd grab the spouse and pets, followed by photo albums and iPad and laptop (30 plus years of family, kids and pets). If time allowed, I'd grab a couple of pieces of family silver (more for the sentiment than the value) and a couple of pieces of original art. An arm full of clothing and I'd be out of there.
To consider the question in a different way--if we were about to do a major downsizing, my new place would need to have lots of natural light, a decent (though not necessarily large) kitchen, and a washer and dryer. I'd want to bring an antique table, bookcase, and quilt that I inherited, as well as the items mentioned above. Although this could change as I get older, I still need my patch of dirt to plant flowers in, so I'd need a yard, however small.
I have one small table my grandfather built for my grandmother in the 20s or 30s. That is irreplaceable and goes wherever I go. I know what size packing box it requires.
I always wind up buying a two blade window fan.
A glass, tea mug, plate, bowl, knife spoon and fork per resident, and two sets for company.
Oh, and two cloth napkins per resident.
Pot, pan. Mixing bowl.
My favorite painting. It's beautiful and sacred.
Comforter and sheets, pillow. Floor mat to sleep on.
A small heater or electric blanket.
Some music and books.
I recently downsized to a 350 sq ft studio and the only important things to me have been my bed, down comforter, computer, desk, Henckels, cutting board and coffeemaker, in that order. Everything else is frosting, although I have been able to maintain a good kitchen in this tiny place. I have been able to keep some of my fun equipment that isn't essential, so all is well in the world. More bookcases would always be a good thing, but that will come in time. My cellphone lives in my handbag so that is always with me.
Plants. Many, many plants.
My music.
My mom's paintings.
Lots and lots of light. Real and artificial.
Vacuum cleaner: Two big hairy dogs, one small but sheddy cat - and an allergic but brave husband means we can never vacuum enough. (he's vacuuming as I type this, in fact.)
My grandfather's red enamel ashtray: We don't smoke, but somehow this ashtray has become the connection to my past.
Bed. We were without furniture for the first two weeks after we moved in. My back still hasn't forgiven me.
My cat, my range, my laptop.
I play a game with myself - If I lost everything (not counting people and pets) in a flood, fire or wind, what would I replace? And what's irreplaceable, that I would actually grieve for.
There are a couple of pieces of family furniture that are irreplaceable and I would grieve for, but not much else.
I would replace, in order:
my kindle
my iphone, computer, ipad (which are all backed up to the cloud).
my washer and dryer
beds and bedding
all kitchen equipment including espresso maker and Kitchenaid mixer and appliances.
a table to eat at and comfortable chairs to sit on
family photos (stored on the cloud as well as on walls).
I would not replace:
my huge tv, home theatre, TiVo, blue ray player etc.
my dishwasher
Books (ebooks instead)
I am currently living in my parents' home which I inherited last year. I am working my way though 50+ years of 'stuff' and trying to decide if I am going to stay or sell...leaning towards selling. Decorating the home was not a big deal to them. There are pieces of family furniture I want to keep that aren't expensive, but are sentimental.
They didn't update often, but they both loved to garden and the outdoors was practically sacred to them.
I would say the garden.
Three things: books that I love and that can't be replaced, not because they are rare editions but because they are out of print and a pen and paper.
In no particular order except the first one ;)
1) dearest hubby
2) iPhone
3) my awesome Dell latitude business laptop
4) iPads and iPods
5) My fabulous leather sofa
6) Canon 6oD camera and lenses
7) Refrigerator
8) Washing machine
9) Air conditioner
10) Wedding photos and art
If I had to evacuate, then the most indispensable items would be the computers, the medical stuff typical of middle-aged people, and a file box of papers like credit cards, passbooks, passports, birth certificates, and insurance policies, all of which are in my office. Assuming evacuation was due to a personal disaster rather than a broader disaster, I could rebuild enough to survive.
If we're talking about what I find most indispensable to my home being my home, then I'd include the preceding, which I'd shift to the bedroom, plus the bath, bedroom, and kitchen, and their contents. Even if the rest of the house's rooms and their contents, and the landscape, vanished, I'd still be home.
I find it really interesting how different my answer is now than it would have been five years ago. Back then, I would have said if the building is on fire I'd grab computers and hard drives. But now that everything is backed up in the cloud, all my documents, photos, etc are preserved even if the computer is destroyed. Now it's all about the art.
The most precious item in our apartment - both aesthetically and financially - is the persian carpet in our living room. If we lost that, it would be a tragedy. Ironically, it would be the hardest to grab and run, but there ya go. We also have several pieces of original artwork that we treasure and couldn't replace. But other than that, all our furniture is new and replaceable, as are the books and electronics. Even our wedding album could be reconstructed because we have the digital files.
But in terms of what we couldn't live without in our home, the answer is different than what we would grab in a fire. Here's that list:
Big dining room table for working and entertaining
Kitchen with lots of counter space
Comfy reading chair
King-sized bed
Oodles of natural light
As far as what makes our house home, to me, it would be our altar--if most of it had to go, just one item from it would be sufficient.
Wedding photos.
I think that's really it. I do love the other items that have been with us twenty years, but could do without them.
That's it.
my travel souvenirs, ranging from jewelry and accessories to art and bedding. Of course including old photographs and pieces past down from my parents but most else can be replaced
What a difficult question. Without a doubt, if I had to leave everything behind, it could all be replaced. And, if I had to only pick the things most important to life of course I'd choose essentials like a refrigerator and indoor plumbing. However, other than the basics, these are the things I consider indispensable:
Workspaces. We have a desk in every room except the kitchen (unless you count the dining room table, which we occasionally use a workspace) and bathrooms.
Bookshelves. I re-purposed one as a darling coffee bar. We use them for organizing clothes and craft supplies, and I turned a Billy into a bathroom closet. And, we have several Billy bookshelves behind our couches in our family room to store books (ha!), games, batteries, and maps.
Lots of quilts and blankets piled around for my family and our guests to stay cozy.
If we are talking about having to evacuate in a hurry then the dogs and cats and my external hard drive containing all our photos.
If we are talking what are non-negotiables in a move to another house, then indoor-outdoor flow to a decent sized garden. That's it.
Just to clarify - I'm not big on getting attached to 'things' :-)
My Alex Duetto espresso machine and my Louboutins's.
My grandmothers cheap 1960s china tea set.She and my grandfather came over from Cuba in 1960 with literally the clothes on their backs and 5 kids.They were considered upper middle class there and had a lovely home,but she never lamented or complained about all they lost.She bought it piece by piece from woolworths, ten cents here,15 cents there till she had a small set,and she treasured it because it was one of the first "pretty" things she was able to acquire in the states.Later,they could afford better,but she used it almost daily to serve her bustelo in.I look at it,and I see her soft,worn hands cupping it . Ive been lucky in life,and have some nice things myself,but if I could only pick ONE item in my home to save,it will be that tea set.
Important papers
Phone to call family and let them know we're okay
If we are starting over:
An open sunny space with a view of the yard and enough seating for our extended family, so the Amish made, honey oak table with leaves and chairs would make the cut. It was our first furniture purchase together.
My husband's grandmother's rocker.
A cartoon cat my parents had drawn with my initials when my they adopted me.
A sideboard from my great-grandmother.
My antique typewriters
Apparently I'm the sentimental type.
How interesting that most people put phone and computer etc on the list... and yet those are the things I find are the most replaceable. What I can't replace are the things that memories are attached to, and all the art. It didn't even cross my mind to put laundry until I read it. Maybe I'm looking at the question wrong... but I'd rather hand wash than give up the antique sofa and vintage leather chairs. Or the paintings. Or the books.
I'm a collector of stuff and am CONSTANTLY downsizing, but then, some things always stay... it's just that they have no "purpose" other than to be beautiful and make me happy. And I would MUCH rather be surrounded by art and books and give up the modern "conveniences" than to covet an SUV or iPad. Different strokes, but I think those things are completely replaceable. I happily gave up the Jimmy Choos, the car, the crazy amount of cosmetic and gadgety stuff years ago and am MUCH happier for it... but you won't find me letting the vintage barware go anytime soon.
Also things my two boys have made. I have a baby book, small blanket and a tiny collection of bits in a small box for each of them for when they are older... in a fire that's what I would grab. More than anything, the photos from before the internet that aren't replaceable...
The comments here bring to mind the game of gossip from grammar school days. Anyone recall that game? A message was passed down the line & the person at the end spoke it aloud. It rarely remotely resembled the original message. There's a thesis on the human condition waiting to be written here.
That said, it was quite an interesting read although the question + exercise originally posed was lost in the shuffle early on.
@ globaltastes: your quick quip had me roflmbo. I concur.
@ johncb: your post brought tears to my eyes in an altogether different way. If I were you, I'd be making myself a cuppa in that five & dime collected set right about now. What an honor.
Husband, washing machine, books. Also, living in the Middle East makes one appreciate water. No water in the summer equals dirty house, dirty body, dirty dishes. Because one does not take a shower or scrub the floor with mineral water. Running water is the most indispensable thing in my home!
Huge pecan tree in back yard
Weighted blanket
Carved agate egg
Tiny box of "Ant and Bee" books from childhood
Saucers from Grandma
Original artwork by family members
The smell of roses and honeysuckle that grow here
'What can you absolutely not live without?' ...
Primary: Air. Water. Food. Companionship.
Secondary: Books. Art supplies.
Dishwasher and washer/dryer come to mind. And shelves.
I am a mini hoarded (cannot throw things away) and yet if I lost everything I would really only grieve for a few things. The gorgeous, HEAVY, handmade dining room table from my boyfriend, my signed first edition of the seventh Harry Potter book (product of my generation :) ), my photographs and my jewelry. I would still be VERY upset about my Kitchenaid mixer and carefully selected furniture and clothes, but those are all more replaceable!
But dog goes first in a disaster, nothing matters until she's safe.
EDIT: adding the throw made from chenille from my grandfather's textile factory. Feels like home :)
Most of the important papers and stuff in my computer is backed up in the cloud so losing any of these is not a problem. As long as we get out alive with our wits, that's all that we need.
I mean, the husband, pets and computers, obviously, but--
My KitchenAid stand mixer
The gigantic bookshelf my dad built for us 10 years ago that has survived four moves (one from the Midwest to the east coast)
Our cheap coffee table that is covered in stickers and which pretty much documents our life together in all its layers
Items in my home that I consider to be absolute necessities:
- dishwasher - or I'd never have clean dishes!
- 3 large wooden tables (for 3 home-based businesses)
- my sofa - lounging, working
- extra large glass-topped coffee table - working while streaming :)
- good-quality firm mattress
- good-quality sheets and towels
- tons of cloth napkins, tea towels and bar towels
I have lots of natural light, and a great unobstructed view in a quiet neighborhood -- those are deal-breakers!
I'm thinking of this in a different way -- not what to try to salvage in a disaster, that is complex and fraught. But what things would I really really want in my life to be happy and comfortable in my advanced old age... (Pets and partner go without saying...)
home laundry facilities -- my back is no longer capable of schlepping laundry baskets
attached garage -- I'm suburban in snow country, and again, bad back
a garden -- just because it feeds the soul (I guess if I could see or visit one, not my own, someday that might suffice)
space and materials for reading and crafting
I love my stuff. I'd hate to have to forfeit any of it in a disaster or major downsize. But I could.
Absolute necessities:
Loved Ones are a given(by phone, my family is out-of-state)
All my bedding, all of it (Quilts, sheets, blankets, pillows, etc.,etc.)
My Bible and Bible study aids
My Soaps and Lotions
Towels and face cloths
My futon
My rugs
My fans
My TV and Movies
My Cellphone.
Toilet paper
In the event of a natural disaster, oh well, I'll be happy to survive (food and water will help)

Inspired by "Blind Date with a Book" programs I saw at other libraries and even one bookstore, I came up with the idea of using wrapping paper and "gift tags" for a display at our Libraries. I'm pretty darn pleased with it, if I do say so myself.
Here's the description of the program, as posted on the blog and our Facebook:
Read, Read Rudolph is happening NOW and going through December 20.
How it works – we've selected books from Main, Science, and the Curriculum Materials Library, wrapped them in festive paper, and put a "gift tag" on each, offering some clues as to its content. It's a mix of fiction and non-fiction from a wide range of subject areas and genres, including juvenile literature and graphic novels. You pick up one that looks interesting, check it out, and, after unwrapping it, have a book for your holiday downtime.
Displays are up at Main, Science, and the CML (this picture is from Main; pictures of the other displays up soon).
AND – for ONE DAY ONLY – at the MLC, we'll have a temporary display for two hours this afternoon (Thursday, December 7.)
Our library elves had a lot of fun choosing the books; hope you have as much enjoyment selecting and reading them.
If you're of the librarian persuasion and want to see the detailed planning document where we figured out selection and then circulation issues, contact me and I'll send you the link to the Google Doc.
And if you don't get the title of the program, remedy this hole in your life: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCTeXUkTFwQ

You should not receive this medication if you are allergic to pemetrexed.
If you have certain conditions, you may need a dose adjustment or special tests to safely use this medication. Before you receive pemetrexed, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any drugs, or if you have:
- kidney disease;
- liver disease;
- bone marrow suppression;
- a weak immune system; or
- excess fluid in the space around your lung, liver, or other internal organs, including pleural effusion (fluid around the lungs) or ascites (fluid around the liver).
FDA pregnancy category D. This medication can cause harm to an unborn baby. Do not receive pemetrexed without telling your doctor if you are pregnant. Use an effective form of birth control, and tell your doctor if you become pregnant during treatment.
It is not known whether pemetrexed passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not receive this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
How is pemetrexed given (Alimta)?
Pemetrexed is given as an injection through a needle placed into a vein. You will receive this injection in a clinic or hospital setting. The medicine must be given slowly through an IV infusion, and can take up to 10 minutes to complete.
Throughout your treatment with pemetrexed, you will need to take folic acid and vitamin B-12 to protect your stomach, blood cells, and bone marrow from the side effects of pemetrexed. You will need to start taking these supplements a week before receiving your first pemetrexed infusion, and will keep taking them for 3 weeks after your treatment ends.
Vitamin B-12 and folic acid are available over the counter. Be sure to take only the forms and strengths of these supplements that your doctor has recommended.
Your doctor may also prescribe steroid medications to reduce certain side effects of pemetrexed.
To treat mesothelioma, the pemetrexed injection is usually followed by infusion of cisplatin (Platinol) 30 minutes later. Cisplatin must be given very slowly, and is usually infused over 2 hours.
Pemetrexed is usually given every 3 weeks. Your doctor will determine how many treatment cycles you should receive.
Pemetrexed can lower the blood cells that help your body fight infections. This can make it easier for you to bleed from an injury or get sick from being around others who are ill. To be sure your blood cells do not get too low, your blood will need to be tested on a regular basis. Your cancer treatments may be delayed based on the results of these tests. Do not miss any scheduled visits to your doctor.

Mixon celebrates harvest season
Date: November 14, 2012
by: Pam Eubanks | Managing Editor
Citrus grower Mixon Fruit Farms is celebrating the harvest season with a special community event this weekend — its annual Harvest Festival.
This year's event starts from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 16, with an author book signing, at the orange grove located 2525 27th St. E., Bradenton.
The festival's main activities will follow from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 17 and Nov. 18. Attendees can peruse more than 70 arts-and-crafts booths, feast on a variety of food — including Amish doughnuts — and enjoy family-friendly activities such as live musical and dance performances, rock climbing, bounce houses, tram tours through the orange grove and more.
Local authors being featured at the book signing Friday include Bill Mixon, who helped his parents start Mixon Fruit Farms in 1939, and fellow authors Liam McAuley, Carole Stevens Bibisi, Ruth Fishel and Diane Robertson.
"We're really big into making memories," said Janet Mixon, who co-owns the business with her husband, Dean. "It's easy to get to (here). We try to provide a nice, clean atmosphere for people to bring their families. We have something for everybody.
"(Our location) used to be way out east," she said. "Now, it's considered in town. When we decided to buy (the farm) from the rest of the family, we wanted to do something with the community. We wanted it to be a big part of what we do."
Parking and entry to the festival is free. Many activities, including watching performances, are free of charge. Costs for individual activities, such as inflatables and pony rides, will be determined by individual vendors. Hour-long tram tours of Mixon's orange grove, which includes a stop at Mixon's wildlife refuge, cost $10 for adults and $5 for children.
Until five years ago, Mixons was closed all summer, opening in November for the harvest season. It now is open year-round.

GRANT COUNTY, Wash—Grant County's Interagency Narcotics Enforcement Team arrested a Quincy man Monday on suspicions of drug possession and stolen property.
INET raided the home and shop, where they found 43-year-old Ruben Antonio Garza, following a two-year investigation that included an undercover drug operation. Officials said detectives bought methamphetamine at the house after receiving complaints of abnormal amounts of traffic at the residence.
"INET detectives eyed this house and Garza for two years, and the result is a solid case," said Sheriff Tom Jones. "We found a lot of stolen property at this raid, and we'll build a list of the recovered items to try and reunite them with their rightful owners."
During the raid, detectives recovered many pieces of property that they suspect was stolen. The items included collector coins, tools, computers, ATVs and firearms.
Garza was taken to Grant County Jail on suspicion of possession of methamphetamine, maintaining a drug house, possession and trafficking of stolen property, and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Police said the investigation was ongoing on Tuesday.

Hi guys,
No matter what I do, I can't seem to get our Windows 7 logon speed down below 30/40 seconds when a user first logs on to a system. Second logon is around 5 seconds, but that's because they already have a profile created on the system.
Problem is, since students/teachers move around so much every logon is a "first logon" and whist 30 seconds may not seem much, it can occasionally take longer and at the start of a lesson I can see it being really annoying, given that our current Windows XP first logon is around 12 seconds
Our users profile is created from a netlogon\default user.v2 profile that I created and uploaded properly as per the new MS guidelines for making a default user.
I have very little policy set currently, only a few folder redirections that are required. (My documents/start menu/desktop) I have set the logon information to verbose via policy and it all zips past fairly quickly, the longest part is the "preparing your desktop" at the end.
I am wondering if this speed is to be expected, considering that the machines we have 7 on are around 3/4 years old now. (Pentium 4 HT/2gb ram) or if I'm doing something wrong and can squeeze the logon time down even further.
I am aware that there is a windows 7 logon speed bug relating to having a solid colour set as the background, but I've ruled out that being an issue as we have a .jpg background set and even with the hotfix that MS provide, it doesn't seem to speed up

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A former top executive with Swiss bank UBS AG is headed to South Florida federal court for a hearing on fraud conspiracy charges stemming from a broad tax evasion investigation.
Raoul Weil is scheduled to enter a plea Tuesday to the U.S. charges first filed in 2008. He was a fugitive until his arrest in October in Italy and was later extradited to the U.S. He is free on $9 million bail.
Prosecutors say Weil conspired to hide $20 billion in assets from the IRS using secret overseas accounts for thousands of wealthy customers. Weil's lawyers in Switzerland have insisted he is innocent.
In 2009, UBS paid a $780 million fine and agreed to turn over names of customers suspected of evading U.S. taxes. Many have been prosecuted since.

Contemplative Prayerby Thomas Merton
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
This is Thomas Merton at his contemplative best, applying ancient wisdom to the longings of our age through his thoughtful commentary on Scripture and important writers of the Western spiritual tradition.
Merton offers valuable guidance for prayer in this classic text. He brings together a wealth of meditative and mystical influences--from John of the Cross to Eastern desert monasticism--to create a spiritual path for today.
About the Author
THOMAS MERTON (1915-1968), Trappist monk, author, and peace activist, came to international prominence at a young age with his classic autobiography, The Seven Story Mountain. Over the rest of his life he wrote prolifically on a vast range of topics, including prayer, interior growth, social responsibility, violence, and war. Toward the end of his life he played a significant role in introducing Eastern religions to the West. He is today regarded as a spiritual master, a brilliant religious writer, and a man who embodied the quest for God and human solidarity in the modern world.
THICH NHAT HANH is an internationally respected Zen poet and teacher. He is the author of numerous bestselling books, including Zen Keys and Living Buddha Living Christ.

A Community prayer vigil will be held at Community Clubhouse in Crisp County on Sunday, September 14,2014 at 7pm.
March 5, 2004
Dougherty County -- Lawn mowers are expensive and very attractive to thieves. Utility trailers and lawn equipment are easy for them to sell and hard to track. Police are recommending you take time to protect your lawn mower before it disappears.
Ron Hayes walked behind his shed last spring, ready to cut his grass. He got a bad surprise. "Couldn't find it. Just realized someone had stolen it." Like many South Georgians, Hayes kept his lawnmower in his backyard, unlocked. He did not have the serial number written down and had not put identifying marks on it. Hayes said "Never did find it."
Dougherty County Police warn homeowners to take time now to protect their lawn equipment. Lt. Dennis Dawson of the Dougherty County Police said "It's an easy target for thieves to come by and pick them up."
Thieves grab Mowers and utility trailers and unload them quickly at flea markets or roadside sales. Lt. Dawson said "If you are approached by someone offering you a great deal on a riding lawn mower or any type of item, we ask you to report it to the Police. Because most of the time these items are stolen property."
Engrave your name on your equipment, write down the serial number. Something as simple as a lock can make thieves move on. Lt. Dawson said "That's a big deterrent. These locks are hard to get off. It takes more time than some of these thieves want to use to take the items."
Two weeks ago Dougherty County investigators arrested David Jordan for stealing utility trailers, and asked for people who thought he may have taken their trailer to call them. They got hundreds of phone calls, showing the thefts are even more widespread than they suspected.

as a self-taught wannabe-crochet master, i tend to stick to simple projects that feel luxurious without being overly complicated or stressful (read: can be completed during an episode of Glee). I've fallen in love with a few of the winter cowls and neckwarmers floating around the blogosphere this season, so i grabbed myself a skein of Lion Brand Wool Ease yarn in Wheat (bulky, gorgeous, and easy to work with) and got to work on this beautiful neckwarmer that i will be gifting someone special this year. if you can do a simple crochet chain stitch, you can do this!
(pssst: if you want to learn to crochet, Threadbanger has some awesome video tutorials!)
First, i chain stitched 55 long - turns out, this is a great way to practice your fundamental crochet skills - i managed to keep this one straight and symmetrical (sometimes my projects shrink, distort, and fall apart halfway through when i don't count the stitches like a bad little crocheter!)
Easy, right? This year i am (financially) forced to get creative with gift-giving, so stay tuned for more easy, budget-friendly gift ideas coming your way.... happy crocheting!
ps: Betsy over at The Dainty Daisy is having a crochet-stitch along to Stephanie's convertible cowl pattern and i think i might join her...... all aboard the crochet gift wagon!
disclaimer: family members who may receive a similar gift like this.. please act surprised.

Neoclassical Growth, Manufacturing Agglomeration and Terms of Trade
AbstractThis paper presents an integrated view of economic growth, development traps, and economic geography. We explain why there is income convergence among some countries (neoclassical regime) and income divergence among others (poverty trap regime). Income convergence (divergence) and manufacturing industry diffusion (agglomeration) are re-enforcing each other in a cumulative process. Moreover, trade openness may trigger a catch-up process of an economy that is stuck in a \"poverty trap\". This catch-up is characterized by an increase in the investment-to-GDP ratio and an improvement of the terms of trade. A new dynamic welfare gain of trade liberalization is identified, which is likely to be large.

Alice in Chains are one of the most influential American rock bands of the early '90s. Drawing equally from the heavy riffing of metal and the gloomy strains of post-punk, the band developed a bleak, nihilistic sound that balanced grinding metallic riffs with subtly textured acoustic numbers. They were hard enough for metal fans, yet their dark subject matter and punky attack placed them among the front ranks of the Seattle-based grunge bands. While this dichotomy helped the group soar to multi-platinum status with their second album, 1992's Dirt, it also divided them.
