- I did make the paper houses from this post with one of the other resident children
- I also made this delicious and delightful dinosaur cake but that was all my own work with limited baking resources.
Me and my Zeds attempted Christmas crafts more or less every day, starting on the 1st of December and ending on the 21st, last year and conquered Christmas. In the process, I discovered that there is time to do something between school and dinner at home and that I rather enjoy attempting crafts so I am still here blogging away.

Why don't people believe the fact of evolution?
Biological evolution, the principle that species change over time due to the combination of random mutations and natural selection is a well accepted scientific fact (about a clear a fact as any).
Why do so many people insist on denying it? Why do people feel such a need to protect an archaic world view that they deny science?

Davie WebbApr 17 2011: this is a topic i feel quite strongly about. I think there are a number of contributing factors to the billions of people in the world today still choosing to seek religion as an answer instead of entrusting science to provide the answers.
firstly, people are unfortunatly born into religions families and the belief system is entrenched into the minds of the children. admittidly, sometimes human nature takes over and they seek answers instead of ignoring facts. i think its one of the most tragic occurances in the world today.
secondly, for clear reasons, people are scared. the idea of nothingness and no point or purpose to life is haunting. even I who has accepted my own mortality and enjoy looking at life as a wonder of sheer amazment and chance, finds it hard to think of the inevitable. we are animals. like the pets we keep and the food we eat. do people think chickens go to heaven? we have meat on our bones just like they do. apologies for the example, but creationists still have it in their mindset that we are superior to all the other animals and have a greater purpose. the fact is, we are just the first creatues on this planet that have been able to recognise and question our own existance.
other examples i feel are defiant ignorance and im sorry to say, stupidity.
as prof. Dawkins explains, why is it that if we talk of fairies at the bottom of the garden, it is out job to prove it. but religion and faith is exepmt from those rules. why? it is sheek nonsense and on behalf of religions worldwide, im embarrsed for them. I am sorry if i offend anybody or sound condesending but, i honestly do.
Apr 19 2011: I agree that as a child there is certainly a degree of entrenchment however, education should allow an individual to transcend this and define their beliefs based on what they believe is rational and applicable to them.
Regarding our existence, evolution vs creation doesn't have to be so extreme. Religious professionals propose the theory of "Emanationism" which allows creation and evolution to co-exist. It is the idea that all things physical emanated from a divine source.
As for me, I haven't yet been able to fully accept either theory. I'm trying to learn more before I make up my mind
Apr 27 2011: Scott:
Although I don't agree with "emanationism", my main contention is that science has offered sufficient evidence that "biological evolution, the principle that species change over time due to the combination of random mutations and natural selection" is a fact. Moreover, the only reason that I can see for people refusing to accept that fact is a desire to maintain a belief system which is at odds with science
May 5 2011: Hi Tim
Looking back I had a period of 15-20yrs where I understood the theory, but didn't accept it as fact; and learning anything about Christianity.
I fully understand where the ID guys are coming from, especially the scientists. They know that this theory just doesn't hold water, regardless of any belief system & their chosen profession is being harmed by association.
João JesusMay 5 2011: The point about children is very well made and something I defend for quite some time. In this particular subject I think any religions shouldn't be allowed to be taught at so young age up until 16 or 18 years old in each teenagers can really learn and decide for themselves without pre-concepts.
A good example of this is Santa Claus, sure people stop believing in it with age but that is only because the parents and community decide it's time for them to learn the truth. If the majority of the community I live in believed in Santa Claus and never told be otherwise I would hardly stop believe in him.

That breakout has so far not been able to hold up, since the high of the day for CSOD was $19.50, but the stock is now trading near $18.40. I would only look for long-biased trades in CSOD if this stock can maintain its gains above $19. Follow @stockpickr

The City(La Ciudad)
The City
directed by David Riker
The City
For most of these Spanish-speaking Shot in precise, unshowy I generally don't like Riker comes at filmmaking At 21, he quit photography That esthetic Damascus Road Simply looking at the film It's part of the general Asked about his outsider As earnestly sociopolitical In The City, that The film's stories The City isn't Clipped Whenever people I know, I've covered the NYFF Of course there was a large It's the festival's The background to this bit Chahine's recent movies Additionally, The Other Three possible answers, Those outdated definitions, In the case of The Woman Problem-wise, what's
new arrivals, we (virtually everyone reading this paper) are the omnipresent
Other. For us, they are–if we deign to notice them. You can't help
thinking of this invisible divide as you watch Riker's fascinating film,
which estranges us from New York even as it awakens us to it.
black and white, The City tells four stories consecutively. In the first,
a group of day laborers is assigned to scavenge bricks from a demolished building,
a task that has drastic consequences for one of them. The second tale concerns
a boy newly arrived from Mexico and the girl he meets at a "sweet 15"
party. In the third story, an itinerant puppeteer stumbles into unanticipated
difficulties when he tries to enroll his daughter in school. In the fourth,
a seamstress who hasn't been paid in weeks by her sweatshop bosses learns
that her daughter is sick and needs money for treatment immediately.
the dramatic diffusion that comes with multipart stories, but Riker's use
of the form is both modest and significant, acknowledging the multiplicity of
individual sagas as well as ethnicities in our naked, polyglot city. There's
also a commendable reticence in the way he fictionalizes these lives. One of
the worst movies I've seen this year, Rosetta, the Belgian film
that absurdly won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, imagines the "oppressed
underclass" via a story that smothers its characters under a glass of ideological
preconceptions that are both rigid and unthinkingly condescending. Riker's
film is more genuinely humane and far less pretentious–a work of small
truths rather than grand statements–no doubt because it emerged not from
some intellectual's drawing board, but from years of street-level contact
and observation.
from a social-activist angle. As a young still photographer, according to his
bio, he "photographed the anti-nuclear movement around the world…demonstrations
at military bases, the women's peace camp at Greenham Common in England,
the historic march on the United Nations, and took portraits of people involved
in the movement including Japanese survivors of the atomic bombs in Hiroshima
and Nagasaki." All of that, per se, means nothing to me. But what comes
next does.
because, he said, "I realized I didn't know any of the people in my
pictures." He added, "I had always wanted my pictures to be truthful,
but I now realized that I needed my subjects to…have the chance to contradict
what the viewer might think is going on. This was a very painful moment for
me, I put down my still camera and decided to learn filmmaking."
is easily the most remarkable reason I've ever heard for a young filmmaker
to choose his vocation. The quest for truth, even to the point of allowing the
filmmaker's subjects the right to contradict his vision of their lives,
is Godardian in the best sense, and so far beyond the self-serving vapidities
of Godard wannabes like the Dardenne brothers (Rosetta) and Harmony Korine
(Julien Donkey-Boy) as to suggest that the term still has a worthwhile
meaning. The moral seriousness of Riker's decision was borne out by the
lengthy, total-immersion method he adopted to make The City.
you can tell that it is cast with actual Hispanic immigrants, but the filmmaker's
search for truthful images went far beyond that. The film was shot in segments
over several years. (The third episode was shot first, then money was raised
to shoot the first; the second and fourth were shot concurrently.) During this
time, Riker lived in the immigrant communities, learned Spanish, made extensive
casting searches and conducted classes for his prospective cast members, and
generally received a firsthand education in the distinctions between, and commonalities
among, immigrants from Peru, Honduras, Puerto Rico, Ecuador, the Dominican Republic,
Mexico, Costa Rica, etc.
enfeeblement of current film culture, especially as regards "political"
filmmaking, that many theory types, the cappuccino Marxists, would surely look
askance at Riker's method, scorning as naive his presuming to represent
the viewpoints of marginalized communities. His response to such abstract prohibitions
is worth noting.
status by Cineaste, he said, "My perspective is that…an outsider
can motivate people within the community to talk about things that they otherwise
might not–the things that seem obvious and 'go without saying'…
If you're from the outside, you are at great danger of not understanding
with much depth what you are dealing with. The issue is whether you can develop
an understanding. The only way that I was able to check myself was that
at every stage of the process–from the initial research, the very first
interviews, through the development of the script, the presentation of step
outlines, to the improvisation and right through to rough cut screenings–I
had the community around me, talking to me about it and debating." (Emphasis
as that may sound, it is without question the key to the film's exceptional
artistic integrity and richness. Riker here certainly is acting as an artist,
not an anthropologist or community organizer: he decides on fiction over documentary,
writes the stories, determines the look and other elements that convert his
investigations into an esthetic end product. But he does so with a combination
of personal diligence and humility-before-his-subject that closely molds his
vision to the world he beholds, and that believes without compunction in the
ability of film to reflect, interpret, honor and illuminate the real world.
belief's payoffs come in scores of choices that don't stop at hard-won
authenticity but transmute it into instances of striking poetic perceptiveness.
In the first story, "Bricks," there's a moment when the laborers,
picked up by their employer for the day, enter the back of his truck. The darkness
its closing door produces suggests a palpable, fearful disorientation that,
you suddenly realize, immigrants in general must feel frequently. In the third
story, "Puppeteer," the title character, who lives with his daughter
out of the back of his station wagon, is approached by a city worker who would
like to help him, perhaps, but who notices the little girl and says to the man,
"Someone who loves his daughter so much would take the dirt off her face."
There's no cruelty in the remark, just an incomprehension that bespeaks
vast, everyday chasms in human and cultural understanding. Who of us has not
said or thought such a thing?
touch on issues of work, education, housing and so on, but The City doesn't
content itself with being an "issues" film. And while striving with
considerable success to avoid sentimentalizing the poor, it doesn't eschew
sentiments. Still, its deepest meanings arguably reside in the faces it shows
us. In the second story, "Home," the girl who meets a sweet, newly
arrived boy at a party looks at him with a mixture of innocence, wariness and
romantic curiosity that seems far beyond the capacity of any "real"
actress. "Seamstress," the fourth episode, begins and ends contemplating
the faces of workers in a sweatshop, and Riker is smart enough to know that
no rhetoric on his part could compete with their eloquence; so he simply, precisely,
gives us a story to frame them.
the kind of film that knocks you out of your seat; it's the kind that sticks
in your memory for hours, days, years after you've seen it. Three decades
ago, films of its rough sort (e.g., Nothing But a Man) were a significant
part of what made "American independent cinema" a vital alternative
to the blandishments of Hollywood. In the 90s, alas, indiefilm has risked being
little more than a trustfunder's stepping stone to the major studios. In
avoiding easy polemics and showy self-aggrandizement alike, Riker shows the
way not only to a renewed form of social engagement, but to art.
dull thud you may have heard the Sunday before last was the curtain falling
on the 1999 New York Film Festival. The festival's closer, Felicia's
Journey by Atom Egoyan, is a singularly lugubrious, unrewarding experience,
but in that I'm afraid it was entirely suited to an annual event that has
gradually lost much of its purpose and vigor.
in New York or beyond, discuss why the NYFF's decline gets virtually no
notice in print, the reason that always surfaces first is critics' personal
liking for the people who run the festival, especially its director, Richard
Pena, longtime selection committee member Wendy Keys (who retires this year)
and publicist Joanna Ney. I share that liking in spades, which is why saying
the following is more than a little uncomfortable.
now for 19 years running, and through much of that time I've counted myself
a major fan of the event and the function it serves in American film culture
at large. But in the latter half of the 90s it has seemed to me that the festival
has been slipping gradually from its former vitality, toward a kind of cloistered,
programmatic enervation. This year was the nadir to date.
handful of great films at the '99 edition, some by festival standbys such
as Mike Leigh (Topsy-Turvy), Pedro Almodovar (All About My Mother)
and Jane Campion (Holy Smoke) and others from newcomers including Spike
Jonze (Being John Malkovich) and Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don't
Cry). But from a programming standpoint these films are the no-brainers,
just as from a cinephile's standpoint their festival appearances are inessential;
all have distributors and will be showing up in theaters soon enough, if they
haven't already.
other, more marginal titles that are really indicative of its direction, and
some of these were not just awful, but bizarrely so. In The Other by
Egypt's Youssef Chahine, for example, I encountered something I thought
I'd never see at the NYFF: a film of outright (if carefully veiled) anti-Semitism.
of rubbish is worth noting. Chahine's last film, Destiny (which
played '97 NYFF), was an excellent, beautifully crafted movie that bravely
attacked religious intolerance among Islamic fundamentalists. That film, though,
not only brought him death threats but flopped at Egyptian box offices. This
time out Chahine attempts a recovery by combining crude low comedy (ahem, "satire")
with big doses of that favorite opiate of Arab intellectuals, nationalism, which
here is intermixed with dollops of anti-American and anti-Christian vitriol
along with disguised dashes of anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli sentiment.
have been financed by the French, which is why here he's free and fulsome
with his anti-Americanism but considerably more careful with his anti-Semitism.
Still, that he spits at the memory of Anwar Sadat's efforts to make peace
with Israel, and makes ominous mention of "Jewish businessmen" whose
scheming appears to be throwing honest, poor Egyptians out of work, will speak
loud and clear to the Egyptian hoi polloi.
is atrociously made. Its craftsmanship is about that of a Samuel Z. Arkoff production
from the early 60s, with acting that's so bad you can only hoot at it.
Needless to say, Chahine, who has been at past festivals, didn't show up
to give a press conference this year. But what was this piece of crap doing
in the festival in the first place?
which in reality may overlap: (1) The festival is still operating on a 60s-style
auteur policy that reflexively embraces bad work by favored directors. (2) Here
again, as it does too often, the festival is rubber-stamping the judgments of
the French, for whom Chahine is a favored exotic. After the Egyptian got a special
career award at Cannes in '97, he was saluted with a career retrospective
at Lincoln Center. (3) The movie's crude anti-Americanism accords with
the festival's moldy definitions of "daring" and "sophistication."
I would say, are at the heart of what's askew at Lincoln Center. The festival
was founded in the early 60s and too much of its programming now seems chained
to the paradigms of that decade. The results are becoming increasingly ludicrous.
The loathsome Julien Donkey-Boy, for example, rather than representing
any sort of cutting edge, seems made to sucker festival programmers whose notions
of "experimental" and "edgy" are glued inside a Way Back
Machine set on 1968. Meanwhile, the festival misses great, really original American
films ranging from The City to David Lynch's The Straight Story
(here there's a history of obtuseness: the NYFF also rejected Blue
Chaser–NYFF 99's one American narrative feature that hadn't
been seen at other festivals–people walked out of the press screening in
glassy-eyed incredulity. No one could believe that this fifth-rate Sundance
wannabe got anywhere near Lincoln Center. Stephen Holden in the Times
aptly jeered the film noir spoof as "the most hackneyed of moviemaking
concepts…turned into wearying film-school shtick." Even the Times
headline writer got in on the act, gleefully titling that review "Hard-Boiled

CANTON, MS (WLBT) – The City of Canton wants to expand its municipal landfill, and Tuesday night residents heard more about those plans.
The Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality held a public hearing on the future of the waste site.
The City of Canton plans to use a closed lagoon in future development for the municipal landfill.
The lagoon is located on the same Soldier Colony Road property as the existing landfill.
Canton officials want to renew the current permit and are petitioning the Department of Environmental Quality to expand from 139 to 144 acres while increasing the height to 90 feet.
Frazier Riddell was one of three residents who attended the hearing and is concerned about the need for the expansion.
He also doesn't want the height increased.
"If we suddenly have whatever a hundred trucks a day instead of two or whatever it takes to increase what's it gonna do to the infrastructure driving in there? All that needs to be visited before it's just done," said Riddell.
Canton Landfill Director Melon Garrett said the expansion will include the lagoon which will connect the two existing landfills.
He said the city of roughly four thousand is preparing for growth.
"We're proposing to take this spot out (the lagoon) and make it suitable to put waste in by lining it and developing it and then crossing right over into the next landfill without leaving any extra air space, because air space is money," said Garrett.
According to officials, currently 42,000 tons of solid waste are accepted each year.
At that rate it could be full in 119 years.
If the capacity is increased to 600,000 tons a year, as proposed then capacity could be reached in nine years.
"The court reporter will record all of the comments that were made and those will be given to the Mississippi Environmental Quality Permit Board," said Billy Warden, DEQ Chief of the Solid Waste Permitting Branch.
The Canton landfill is one of two in Madison county.
A decision on the future of the landfill could be made by the DEQ Permit Board when they meet September 14th.

p.s. Note that this list seeks to be comprehensive only with regard to published articles in law journals. (I have thrown in one or two published pieces from other places that seem to have a legal focus, but I'm not trying to be comprehensive there.) Books, Web self-publishing, and works from science/game studies/business/humanities/etc. are not included (despite the importance of those works to legal scholarship).
Comments on Virtual Law Bibliography:
Greg, great list. Very helpful resource. You should definitely consider a second list that also includes books. If you need help compiling a list of books, I could provide that, although I'm sure you've probably got them written down somewhere.

Hi Kenan --
I do have a pretty long list of books about virtual worlds, and a I also have a pretty long list of books about cyberlaw issues, but I'm not sure what I'd put on a list of published books specifically about law and virtual worlds.
So there's the State of Play book. Jon Festinger's book video game law has an MMOG chapter, as does Greg Boyd's book on video game law. Of course, there is Ben D's forthcoming book and my forthcoming book -- would you put anything else in that group?

A new one from 1995, "Virtual Reality Law":
It's from a treatise on computer law, so not technically a law review article. But it does have some interesting meditations on virtual worlds...

Paul Joseph's 1998 exploration of vigilante justice in UO. He was a law professor who would probably be writing for this site had he not passed on in '01. It's not a terribly academic article (it ran on the now-shuttered "Picturing Justice" which usually followed images of justice in cinema) but it is one of the very earliest, and I view Joseph as a true pioneer in this field.

Professor Lastowka,
This is a great resource! I've admired your work in this area for some time, so I look forward to reading the book. I realize the list is about law and virtual worlds, but I can't see leaving out Professor Castronova's important work on economics. It's really central to any arguments about property, I'd think.
Posted Mar 28, 2008 1:21:46 PM | link
Hi Steven -- thanks and yes, certainly, Ted's work was a large part of what got me (and many others) interested in this area.
I'll say again what I said in the italics after the list -- I'm only trying to be comprehensive with this list with regard to published law review articles. Non-legal work (like Ted's), Web publications (like Ben mentioned), and SSRN drafts (like Kevin's), are great stuff. But if I tried to list all of those that I'm aware of, the list would be several times longer and not comprehensive. Personally, I've collected over 200 important non-legal articles on virtual worlds over the past few years (including many by authors on the right hand column) Many of them have helped shape my thinking on legal issues, but they're not on this list.

The "Dr. No" of American politics — two-time Presidential loser Ron Paul — wants his third strike at national office, planning to announce yet another doomed run for the White House Friday.
Polls show the 75-year-old Texas Congressman doesn't stand a chance of winning the GOP Presidential nomination but that won't stop him from running again, energizing his rapid legion of followers or muddying up a Republican field of candidates that is already overrun with long-shot fringe candidates.
"He's an authentic nut," says Democratic consultant Jeff Crosby, a native of Paul's coastal Texas Congressional district, tells The Associated Press. "He says what he's going to do, regardless of how nutty or ineffective it may be."
Paul failed — by a long shot — to win the Presidency as a Libertarian Candidate in 1988 and failed again to win the GOP nomination in 2008. He has a record of raising a respectable sum of money in his national campaign and then converting that money to other uses after his campaign fails.
But that doesn't stop his true-believer followers from rallying to his out-of-the-mainstream political ideas. Paul, among other things, wants to abolish the Internal Revenue Service and return the American dollar to the gold standard.
While his ideas register with fringes, his appeal does not extend to mainstream voters. High Times Magazine — which advocates the legalization of marijuana, put Paul on its cover and called him the "Pro-Pot Presidential Candidate."

Being on the fringe doesn't make one wrong particularly when the mainstream advocates torture, assassination, never ending war, illegal wiretaps, search/seizure without probable cause or warrant, debt as far as the eye can see, graft, fraud, and prefers corporate over individual rights.
Polls show 75% of Americans support legalization of marijuana for medical purposes. Nearly half (42%) support legalization of marijuana for recreational use. People are seeing how prohibition does not work just like they did when alcohol was prohibited.
It's far better to legalize and charge a sin tax than spend $90 billion a year (90% of which goes to marijuana arrests) on Reagan's legacy "War on Drugs" that has lasted 30 years and not provided any reduction in drug sale or use.
I would much rather see the money spent on the war on drugs go to fight things like cocaine, crack, meth and heroin, which do so much more damage to individuals, families and our society in general than marijuana ever did.
Sadly, that will never happen. As long as these people continue to believe the myth of "marijuana the gateway drug" the US drug policy will never change.
Understanding quality of life is clearly not the forte of the progressive movements in America. Isn't it time to face the truth, that the failed entitlement programs driven by massive confiscation of livelihood and subsequent redistribution has not only failed, but expanded poverty, social and health problems beyond hope. Is it lunacy to advocate for an end to failed entitlement programs that have directly contributed to the current fiscal insolvency in favor of sound economic policies and markets free of government sanctioned manipulation?
Is it lunacy??? NO.
Can it happen??? Not anytime soon.
Over 55% of Americans get some kind of monthly payment from the govt… and about 49% pay no income taxes. That is, they have little stake in righting the ship of state… the USS Titanic.
Once we've hit the iceberg… then, it can happen.
Wouldn't a little education in the harm done by drugs be a better solution than these drug wars? I was impressed by Ron Paul's words when it came to owning property and making our own decisions. The problem is to wind down our entitlements slowly while we have the schools do some training skills for the kids.
I raised my kids in the druggie haven (Topanga Canyon) with instructions for them to hold off trying the drugs until they hit 18. I also warned them that having unprotected sex was an IQ test since AIDS was on the rampage in my part of California.
We lived for the future which meant developing a healthy body and an open mind.
My kids respect independence and non-conformity.
Welcome Dubree, you put a lot in your one paragraph that I respect.
Great article. Really clears things up. I need no longer labor under the impression that our host is interested in anything other than business as usual.
"Being on the fringe doesn't make one wrong particularly when the mainstream advocates torture, assassination, never ending war, illegal wiretaps, search/seizure without probable cause or warrant, debt as far as the eye can see, graft, fraud, and prefers corporate over individual rights."
Oh, yes it does, Woody. And you're a 'nut' if you think liberty is somehow more important than the all-American delights you list above. And you forgot to add sending America's manufacturing base to China – a particular favorite of mine.
Poverty, torture, dependency and war – making America great again!
Doug will often remind that this is the oldest POLITICAL site on the WWW.
Nuff said.
Ah, yes – silly me. Politics: variations on BAU. Arguing over the color schemes of the deckchairs on a certain large, ocean-going passenger steamship.
Not for me, really.
Last time I looked at the polls (not conducted by zionist group) show Ron Paul as the front runner. Like his last attempt the media has consistently marginalized his campaign by simply refusing to cover his election campaign. Except of course to hype any mistakes he make. No one who campaigns on a platform that includes doing a complete OUTSIDE audit of the FED will ge elected.

Interview with Keith418 on Thelema and the still-birth of Contradiction
C. Derick Varn: Recently the prison chaplaincy and the criminal activity of members of the OTO have forced a lot of issues to the head. What do you see as the central contradiction in the developments in regard to the leadership of the OTO and Thelemic values in regards to this? Why would an exclusive organization being so lax in membership?
Do you see this as stemming from larger cultural contradictions?
Keith418: Thelema usually awakens anxieties that push people to extremes. This is one of the most important reasons why developing self-discipline – through the physical and mental work Crowley prescribes, as well as the note-taking and diary work – is so important. The scandals surrounding the OTO's "prison ministry" are – I suspect – the result of people feeling an overwhelming need to prove that Thelema is "good" and a force for "goodness." The problem is that this "goodness" is the "goodness" defined and determined by the liberal left and today's liberal-left "managerial elites." It's not the "goodness" that Crowley taught, which is another kind of "goodness" entirely. People in the Order seem impelled to prove that Thelema isn't "Satanic" – that it can heal the halt, the weak, and the dumb – and turn hardened sociopaths and murderers around. They have realized that they can't do this and are reaping the karmic rewards of a very stupid self-protective kind of pseudo-naivete.
You don't know how wrong you are about the "exclusive" part of the today's Order. This is a group that has thrown away all of Crowley's arguments on quantity vs. quality. They want as many people as they can get and they view the kind of "exclusive" point of view you are describing with nothing but utter abhorrence. We can see where this vehemence has landed them.
Is there a cultural contradiction here? The highest values devalue themselves. Egalitarianism – for some the highest value – opens the door to rapists. Democracy – for some the highest value – ushers in the tyrant. Compassion – for some the highest value – entails the embraces of the murderer. The Order's fundamental contradiction is that it has rejected Crowley for mainstream values; but it will not admit this or come to terms with what this decision really means. Rather than seeking to make society conform to Thelema, it attempts to make Thelema conform to society.
C.D.V.: Is this not in some sense normal for an organization that does not self-purge regularly?
Keith418: I think you're missing a basic problem. Quakers cannot be expected to run a government system designed for administrating a Roman Catholic diocese effectively. The managerial rules and tools won't "work" for them because the hierarchy involved clashes with their values. Likewise OTO members who are, at best, ambivalent, and who, at worst, bitterly opposed to Crowley's political ideals (and the metaphysics that determine those values) can't run a managerial system he designed either. The basic conflict here is that people who are not fully committed to his model are seeking to run it. How could this possibly work?
The turnover in the Order is tremendous. It may not "purge" regularly, but people "purge" themselves regularly by quitting or drifting away. This also serves to provide the leaders with convenient scapegoats ("That person is no longer with us") and it destroys any far-reaching institutional memory that might serve as a needed corrective.
C.D.V.: I see. What allowed for such a values drift in the leadership in the first place?
Keith 418: My working theory is that the slow diffusion of Crowley's actual writings played a part in this and still does. Without a wide understanding of his work, many people believe they can make it all up themselves as they go along. By the time they realize they can't… it's too late. Either they get trapped in a state of denial or they quit. A number of former "big names" in the Order came to the conclusion that they really did not, and could not ever truly accept Thelema – so they left. The OTO doesn't want to talk about this, no matter how prominent these people once were.
People in the OTO came from a '60s-'70s counter culture background – or from a broader culture influenced by that culture and its shared values. If "do what thou wilt" equals "do your own thing" and "your thing" happens to be an unquestioning belief in egalitarianism and democracy, then doesn't Thelema endorse your values just as they are? The tougher option – to recognize, interrogate, and trace the origins of your highest moral values – requires a lot more work.
We still see many versions of this. People feel free to talk about what Thelema means without even paying the slightest attention to what Crowley actually thought, wrote, or taught. The leadership is stuck, however, because not only do they know – at least on some level – that they are not in synch with his ideas, but that their own values and ideas aren't enough to carry them forward. The irony is that the best leaders the OTO has, as a friend noted, are the ones with the courage to do what they think is right. The problems is that what they think is right is determined solely by left-liberal middle class morality and anxieties.
C.D.V.: Do you think the conflict of values there is similar to the sort of vulgar political contradictions you see in partisan organizations which have a incentive to make sure the leadership is in line but in doing so saps itself of the very subject formation that it needs to actually maintain itself without explicit contradiction?
Keith418: Back in the '60s, the idea on the left was to "heighten the contradictions." We don't see people doing that now because everyone knows that there isn't anyone running around contradicting themselves all the time. The left and the right no longer have the option of even pretending that such a plan, and such a demand, is one that they themselves can perform or that they even desire. Most human organizations have found that they are always riddled with increasingly bizarre contradictions and individuals seek to avoid acknowledging these contradictions… rather than observing them and "heightening" them. This cripples any analytic framework.
Cult is really is culture "writ small." We see these issues play out more sharply in groups like the OTO, but it's part of modern life right now. Consistency is seen as an unnecessary, or even as constituting an impossible burden. If you avoid critics, and court the echo chamber, you can pretend it isn't a problem. The collapse of the grand narrative renders any consistent ideology impossible and as the crises start to mount, logic and consistency become luxuries no one can afford.
What's the big picture? No one can take the time to ask because they are all too busy bailing water. When God died, did the logos, "the word" pass away with him? Did we then realize that reason wouldn't do what it promised, or what we hoped it could accomplish? Is this what it means to no longer understand man as being "the rational animal"? Is that what the end of the "word" means?
I wonder if there are other "words" out there.
C.D.V.: Do you think this is part of Nietzsche's quip about people still believing in god because they still believed in grammar?
Keith418: I think its part of the way we see the nature of the "logos" and reason, yes. After WWII, a fellow philosopher accused Heidegger of being "beyond" the word due to his support for the Nazis. This state, the place he accused Heidegger of being in, deserves some consideration. What happens when an entire society, or group of people, can no longer attain to any sort of consistency? What happens when rational thinking and behavior becomes too much of a burden for it? Rationality and logic, if we interpret the logos in this way (and it's hardly the only way) make demands. What happens when large groups of people can no longer accept and meet those demands?
Capitalism and communism both insist on defining man as the "rational animal." If we come to acknowledge that people aren't really rational, if they never were, and if reason is only deployed as a justification after a decision has already been made, then don't capitalist and communist models and proscriptions suffer as a result? I don't see people coming to grips with this, in part, because I think they have lost the capacity for that kind of discussion. Cats can't do advanced calculus, right?
C.D.V.: Do you see this draft from belief rationality to mere instrumental rationality? I believe Heidegger talked about this as well. In other words, in the case, a shift from strategic thinking in regards to Thelemic values to merely rationalizing certain immediate functions and trying to maintain those?
Keith418: Calculative thinking vs. Meditative thinking? I think Heidegger's right about a lot of this, but I have to wonder, at this point, how good people truly are with this calculative thinking. Are all the apps really necessary? How many people does Twitter actually employ and pay? How many kids have stopped even considering whether they are doing a lot worse than their parents did and distract themselves by playing Angry Birds on their smart phones? Is that time wasting truly "calculative thinking"? At what point is pragmatism no longer pragmatic? Are we there yet?
I'd expect to see more widespread cultural criticism on the left – perhaps in the Frankfurt school model – ridiculing the techie culture and its consumer frenzies. It's not there. Like the "Old New Left" I'm talking about, Crowley was a fierce critic of his times and his society. The Thelemic community has not only abandoned that kind of criticism, it bitterly resents anyone who seeks to revive it. Your friends on Facebook, I've noticed, seem to accept the current consumer culture as a given. They don't attack it or look critically at the way it infantilizes everyone. Isn't that peculiar?
C.D.V.: What do you make of the idea that calculative thinking without a meditative or even strategic focus tends to lose a sense of time preference because time preference requires a larger motivational goal to maintain itself? In other words, calculative thinking without a larger component undoes itself?
Keith418: Junger writes about the deep nature of figures buried in time and our desire to see aspects of our own experiences consecrated within time – or lifted out of mundane time. The collapse of a grand narrative leads to a kind of drifting time – which means few can make choices with the understanding that there are always "opportunity costs" involved. Hiroki Azuma insists that the grand narrative has been replaced by databases – which index and help people locate their desired unconnected thematic aspects in little bits and pieces. Those who can no longer grasp or relate to larger narratives go in search of the smaller parts and motifs that satisfy them. Will it stop there?
"If Man becomes an animal again, his arts, his loves, and his play must also become purely 'natural' again. Hence it would have to be admitted that after the end of History, men would construct their edifices and works of art as birds build their nests and spiders spin their webs, would perform musical concerts after the fashion of frogs and cicadas, would play like young animals, and would indulge in love like adult beasts."
- Kojeve
Divorced from time, how will anyone understand history – either the larger history they participate in and experience or their own individual history? Liberated from time, are people free? Or left with nothing?
C.D.V.: How deep to you think this lack of orientation goes? For example, you and I are both pretty critical of liberalism as a political practice, but would you say that even though it was achieved dominance as a governing paradigm and as a orientation of markets, it has also lost its earlier narrative?
Keith418: When the old world slips away, and the new one has yet to fully come into being, only ghosts remain. The coherence we see now is the "willing suspension of disbelief we know from games – a virtual narrative, or series of virtual narratives – that people cling to in the absence of the real thing. These pseudo-narratives are betrayed by their patently unsubstantial qualities – mere gossamer threads that evaporate like cotton candy on the tongue. This start-up, that pop-up, this new device, that new app – "Sure, it will be the next big thing," people insist. Will it? Will, really? We all know better, don't we?
But we have to go right on pretending. How can there be any sincere investigation when we already know that the application of real focus, the recovery of something like a meaningful attention span, will only tell us what we don't want to know? This, we have discovered is the only guarantee left. So the pace of the games picks up and the hopes and dreams are summoned and discarded at such a rapid pace that they become a mockery of any authenticity
C.D.V.: So do returning to Thelema its old world slipping too? Or, is the New Aeon still in still-birth?
Keith418: That this is an interregnum period is, for all of us, obvious. In this period, as Gramsci noted, monsters are born. Instead of letting go of the old things, people insist on pretending they are still relevant. It's all play-acting. It's a game. They will go on doing that, I suspect, until something arrives – perhaps a "convergence of catastrophes" (to borrow an expression from Guillaume Faye) – that forces a real change. Does anyone really grow up until they have to?
In my estimation, under these conditions, Thelema grows more relevant by the hour. Crowley observed the child-like mindset of his times in the 1930s. What would he say now if he saw adults playing games on their smart phones all day long?
C.D.V.: Not much positive I suspect, but its eerie how much of the criticism of liberal modernity from the 30s or even Europe in 1890 still rings true. I suppose I will end on a question that you have been asked before, but why do you think Thelema is a total ideology and not just a religion in the modern sense of the later term?
Keith418: I think the "religion" characterization is dangerous – just as Crowley himself put it. Guenon is correct in arguing that any religion has to be distinguished from real metaphysics, simply because religion's concern is always with sentiment and consolations. The absolute, which is the real focus of metaphysics, doesn't care about your individual emotional state. Confusing metaphysics and religion helps neither – and it usually means that people intent on finding religious consolation start ascribing sentiment to metaphysical objects. This always ends badly. Al-Farabi saw the limitations of religion quite clearly and I very much agree with all his assessments. Crowley apprehended the emotional core of religious worship and his instructions in Liber Astarte are the evidence of his grasp of this subject. This text is neglected by most people calling themselves Thelemites – and this is unfortunate since grappling with it would give them an ability to control and direct their emotions, rather than letting their emotions control and direct them.
I suspect calling Thelema an ideology is better, but the term, for most people, implies a solely political focus. Ignoring the political dimension of Thelema is just as stupid as assuming that only its political features are essential.

Dino Pent is a corner-turning and top-face-turning pentagonal prism. The inspiration for this puzzle came from an idea by Tianyu Lu who suggested an even more abitious puzzle.There are two types of moves:1. The perpendicular axis allow moves as known from a doctrinaire prism.2. The 10 corners can be turned. The latter moves lead to a jumbling-only puzzle.

i hope they at least get some of it right this time around. the remake and prequel were lame as well as the sequels. nothing has come close to the original and this probably wont either. hopefully it will address the question of why??? why did they turn to cannibalism and murder? why did they inbreed? why the masks? and no not because of some degenerative skin disease or because the slaughterhouse shut down and the town died. they live on a farm so they could grow food...have to wait and see

Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD)
Subject: Polycystic ovarian disease
Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2002 21:08:44 -0400
Hi Gang! I can speak from experience about PCOD, as I have suffered from this for about 21 years now (am 43 now). I suffered from lack of menses, hormonal extremes, weight gain, fuges, loss of memory, hair growth and loss, diabetes, early menopause, siezures and a multitude of other problems. The first part of a successful program must include understanding. Most women suffering from this feel confused and like they are losing thier minds. I won't even begin to tell you about the doctors' "treatment" for this and it's side effects! I could no longer drive or go anywhere alone because of the fuges (blackouts).
Hope this helps!
Consult your Physician
Have her start off with a Stress Pack, GR2 protein, Salmon Oil and Carotenoids. This alone would make a world of difference for her. If she is interested in more, then some extra Super B, C and Vitamin E would be a good idea too. And, if she wanted to cover all of her bases, a month on the Garlic Allium and Acidophilus would be a good idea too.

American enthusiasts always seemed to get hosed. Unlike our European colleagues, we rarely get the really good special editions, and historically have settled for underpowered, detuned engines. Until BMW execs did something very rare-they listened to those who had been clamoring for a factory-built, track-ready BMW. In 1995, the company built a limited number of lightweight, race-ready versions of the recently released E36 M3 to be sold in the United States.
The legend of the M3 Coupe Sport Light, aka CSL, was born, and shrouded in mystery. There were rumors of a trunk full of motorsport parts; speculations of hand picked motors; the knowledge that the number of CSLs built was low, but the exact quantity unknown. Though they were rarely seen in public, the E36 CSL can be quickly identified by its Alpine White color and the colorful Motorsport racing flags on the front fender and rear quarter panel.
Sadly, the events of 1995 would not be replicated when BMW developed the E46 M3 CSL in 2003. An M3 Competition Package was offered, which included a few of the CSL's mechanical components, but none of its unique stylling components like the carbon fiber accented front and rear bumpers and the large integrated trunk spoiler.
The estimated release date for the E92 M3 CSL in Europe should be 2010 if history is any indicator, and whether or not BMW will offer the car in the States is unknown.
Unwilling to wait until 2010, Industry Distribution, IND for short, decided to create its own approximation of this lightweight, iconic, and track-ready BMW.
The E92 M3 has already benefited from weight-saving technology developed originally for the CSL, but still weighs in at a hefty 3,704 pounds. Weight is key to balanced performance, and the last thing you'd want to do is add more. IND carefully planned every aspect of the project build, from the body modification to the choice of wheels.
At first glance the car has a subtle factory look. IND felt, as did we, that the M3's styling, while more aggressive than an E90, lacked a certain aesthetic appeal. The decision to use Vorsteiner E46 M3 CSL inspired front spoiler and rear diffuser in natural carbon fiber blended nicely with the roof, eliminated the front "fangs," and accented the quartet of Le Mans-style tips of the new Eisenmann exhaust. The carbon trunk lid was color-matched to the body while leaving just a small strip of weave exposed.
Since the Eisenmann exhaust is only a rear section, IND decided to replace the rest of the system from the manifold back with custom pipes, eliminating the front catalytic convertors, resonators, and whatever else was left of the restrictive factory piping.
This exhaust is not for the faint of heart and at full wail sounds something like a devilish version of a cathedral organ. From idle to the 8400 rpm redline, it makes a sound that you could spend hours, if not days, recreating. It's the sound you heard as a kid that made you fall in love with cars. The one flaw is a drone that occurs at 2500 rpm under light load-likely caused by the removal of the catalysts and resonators.
Beneath, the somewhat lofty factory ride height has been addressed with H&R sport springs, which leave all EDC functions intact. The rolling stock has been swapped for 20-inch HRE P43 monoblock alloy wheels wrapped in 30-series Nitto Invo tires.
After arriving at our destination and getting the pictures out of the way, it was time to see what these changes translate into on the type of roads BMWs are designed for. The only thing that forced me to end my spirited drive was the low fuel indicator. If it weren't for the lack of petrol, I would have probably kept pushing until I found the limit of the car or my own. I have always been a fan the performance aspects of BMW, but not much of a BMW fan. But after a day behind the wheel of the IND M3, I have a better understanding of the much-touted Ultimate Driving Machine.

To say that interest in the fourth iteration of Torchwood is intense would be an understatement. Ever since the five episode Torchwood: Children of Earth miniseries posted huge ratings last year and generated a variety of reactions for its very dark storyline, fans wondered whether the show would return.
That question was answered in June with the surprising news that a fourth season of ten episodes was going to be produced jointly by BBC Cymru Wales, BBC Worldwide and the U.S. cable network Starz (best know for Spartacus: Blood and Sand). Not only will Starz be producing, but much of the series will actually take place in America including in Los Angeles and Washington DC.
Torchwood's creator Russell T Davies and co-executive producer Julie Gardner appeared in front of television reporters Saturday to discuss the new series which is titled Torchwood: The New World. Afterward, AfterElton.com spoke with both about the show in an interview which will run tomorrow.
Julie Gardner and Russell T Davies
So what do we know about the new series? Torchwood: The New World, a ten episode minseries, will debut the summer of 2011 and, yes, John Barrowman is returning as Captain Jack.
The events of Torchwood: TNW take place two years after the grim conclusion of of CoE including the death of Captain Jack's lover Ianto Jones.
Davies and Gardner refer to TNW as a reboot because Davies is "keen to move on" but that it will be very welcoming to new fans. "We're going to be absolutely
faithful to people who followed Captain Jack's story" says Davies,
"and to John Barrowman's career. So we do acknowledge
the past stories while at the same time moving on to
new stuff. [Captain Jack] was left very dispirited, and almost defeated at the end of the last series,
which we acknowledge and we deal with in a language
that will both satisfy old fans and also will move
forward into the future."
Gardner adds that "There
will be references that you will get that a new
audience won't, but it's absolutely rebooted to
welcome in a new audience."
Asked what inspired him to do another series of Torchwood, Davies says, "It could have ended where it did. What changed my mind
or what inspired me was the response to Children of
Earth, which was — it got phenomenal figures in
Britain. It did beautifully over here on BBC America.
And there was just a buzz about it. Children of Earth was a new form of Torchwood,
and something clicked."
Joining Captain Jack and Gwen Cooper (Eve Myles) in TNW will be an American CIA agent named Rex Matheson (the part is not yet cast). Davies says that Matheson is an "entrance into the new story," a way for new viewers to learn about Torchwood along with the character. Davies explains that given the fact that Torchwood was destroyed and the team broken up after CoE, Matheson will have no idea what Torchwood is since "It's like something that ceased to exist
a long time ago that's spoken of only in whispers. It's like a legend now."
But Matheson will begin investigating and stumbles onto something that will turn into a "massive, great big story." In this way, Davies feels he can start a new story and bring in a new audience. Says Davies:
You can start a brand-new story
this way, in the way that Mulder's X-Files had been
sitting there as a mystery and a legend to be
uncovered before the series even started. So Rex is
drawn into this, has no choice but to be drawn into
this through complications that you will see in the
"Also, he's at the CIA. We also have a watch
analyst at the CIA called Esther, who is not friends
with Rex, but works with a colleague of Rex's. The
two of them become embroiled in the Torchwood legend
and investigate what Torchwood is or was and then find
themselves on the run from that moment onwards and
having to decide — having to meet Captain Jack and
Gwen, decide whether they're friends, whether they're
enemies, a decision that takes a long time to be
That's part of the ten episodes, is the two
teams coming together. Is that a new Torchwood team,
or is the CIA in charge, or are they friends? Are
they enemies? There's a lot of sparks, a lot of
With Torchwood's Cardiff headquarters having been destroyed in Wales and news already leaked that the much of the series will be filmed in the U.S., does that mean the show's Welsh setting has been abandoned entirely? No says Gardner. "The Welsh setting still features in a
really significant way as we move forward. So when we
start filming in January, we will start in Wales. And
there will be beautiful, beautiful landscapes. Gwen
Cooper [Eve Myles] is still that character. She's still Welsh.
She will — her story takes place in the U.S., but
also very much in the U.K. So that flavor of Wales
will be very apparent."

JUNEAU, Alaska — The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will take more time to review comments on a proposal that would restrict large-scale mining near the headwaters of a world-premier salmon fishery.
The decision could have implications for the proposed Pebble Mine. A lawsuit seeking to stop EPA from vetoing the project before permits are obtained is pending.
EPA received more than 155,000 written comments and expects to receive thousands more before the public comment period ends Friday. EPA also heard from hundreds of people in hearings.
Under regulations, EPA's regional administrator is to withdraw the proposal or advance a recommendation to headquarters within 30 days of public hearings ending, but not before the comment period closes. Hearings ended Aug. 15.
EPA is extending the timeline for determining its next step to Feb. 4.
