I'm trying to push the object that populated a view into an array, but the reference is somehow getting lost. I've got an Ember view, with a defined eventManager:
FrontLine.NewProductButton = Em.View.extend({
tagName: 'button',
classNames: ['addtl_product',],
templateName: 'product-button',
eventManager: Ember.Object.create({
click: function(event, view) {
FrontLine.ProductsController.toggleProductToCustomer(event, view);
That view renders a bunch of buttons that are rendered with properties that come from objects in the ProductsController using the
#each helper. That part works great. And when I click on any of those buttons, the click event is firing and doing whatever I ask, including successfully calling the handler function (
toggleProductToCustomer) I've designated from my ProductsController:
FrontLine.ProductsController = Em.ArrayController.create({
content: [],
newProduct: function(productLiteral) {
toggleProductToCustomer: function(event, view){
I'm trying to use that function to push the object whose properties populated that view into an array. Another place in my app (a simple search field), that works perfectly well, using
pushObject(view.context). Here, however, all that gets pushed into the array is
undefined. I tried using view.templateContext instead, but that doesn't work any better. When I try console.log-ing the button's
view object from inside those functions, I get what I'd expect:
<(subclass of FrontLine.NewProductButton):ember623>
But either
view.context or
view.templateContext return
undefined. How do I access the object I'm after, so I can add it to my array?

The High
School pupils visit the Royal Observatory
By George Robinson
As the senior pupils were
studying the theory of navigation, Dr. Schmitz the headmaster of the
Royal High School decided to take them on a visit to the Royal
Observatory. Leaving the school shortly after the dinner break, led by
Dr. Schmitz, the boys made their way up the path leading to the top of
the Calton Hill. Surrounded by a high stone wall, the observatory, built
in the form of a cross with a dome in the centre, sat on the summit
directly across from the Nelson Monument.
Pushing open the front door, Dr. Schmitz led the boys up the path
leading to the building. The astronomer�s wife stood waiting in front of
the doorway to welcome them, her hand resting on one of the stone
pillars which supported the roof. "Good afternoon, Dr. Schmitz," Mrs.
Piazzi Smyth said. "You�ll have brought the boys to see the telescope.
Come away in! My husband is expecting you."
"Dr. Schmitz and the boys have arrived, Charles," the astronomer�s wife
announced, after leading them down the lobby to the observation room.
"As you know, they�re here to see the telescope and the machinery which
operates the time ball."
�A pleasure to meet you, boys,� the astronomer said. "I believe that
you�re here to find out how longitude is calculated. As you�re probably
aware, determining the correct time is absolutely essential. If a
navigator�s chart was a fraction of a degree out, the vessel would end
up miles off course. My assistant Mr. Wallace is just about to drop the
time ball. He�ll take you over to the monument! We�ll take a look at the
telescope when you return and I�ll demonstrate how we calculate the time
for the master clock."
As Mr. Wallace, Dr. Schmitz and the boys made their way over to the
Nelson Monument, the astronomer drew their attention to an insulated
wire running up the side of the tower. �Just before one, the master
clock in the observatory automatically sends a signal along that wire to
the locking pins holding the ball, releasing them, allowing the ball to
drop exactly on the hour.�

In what the Consumer Electronics Association calls the biggest CES ever, there was way more to see than anyone could in a week. Here are some of our favorite photo highlights.
There was a lot of hype surrounding the impending launch of Valve's Steam Machine platform, but much of the excitement dissipated when the first wave of machines were delayed until 2015. Now, Alienware is going in alone, and shipping its own consolized gaming PC.
What's 27 inches across and has almost twice the pixel count of your puny 4K monitor? Dell's new UltraSharp 5K monitor, that's what. With a resolution of 5120×2880, the 27-inch monster has seven times as many pixels as your 1080p monitor, or four times as many as your 2560×1440 (1440p) monitor. It has a PPI of 218, which puts it on about par with the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display (2880×1800). When it goes on sale around Christmas time — for $2500 — it will finally replace IBM's mythical 13-year-old T220/T221 as the highest-res desktop monitor.
It's become increasingly difficult to buy a laptop with a discrete GPU — we investigate the options and the significant difference between AMD and Intel systems.
Synology Diskstations have been hacked to produce Dogecoins, but the company insists it patched the vulnerability in September.
Intel will be paying the full $1.44B fine it owes the EU after losing its bid to overturn the action.
Dell's UP2414Q is one of the first 24-inch 4K LCDs to skirt the $1000 mark, but upgrading at this point isn't for the faint of heart.
HP's response to a difficult year and tough enterprise market? Force customers to buy expensive warranty plans on old equipment, or risk no longer receiving benefits.
Microsoft is slashing prices on certain Windows 8.1 tablets to drive sales — and the new Bay Trail tablets are actually worth buying .
PC sales have continued plummeting, and the industry is now poised for the worst decline on record — by far.

Herman Cain faces many head winds in his quest to win the Republican presidential nomination next year, but the biggest one is still likely to be money - as of last month, his available campaign funds accounted for a little more than 2 percent of the entire GOP field.
That means to win the nomination, he and most of the rest of the GOP field will have to do something that just one candidate, John McCain, has been able to do in the past five contested nominations, which is to thread the needle of a short, compressed primary schedule while being dramatically outspent by opponents.
Dating back to the 2000 nomination, every winner save Mr. McCain has either ranked first or second in terms of cash on hand at this point in the election, according to a Washington Times analysis.
That history bodes well for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and to a lesser extent Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who between them accounted for more than 80 percent of cash on hand among the entire GOP field, and accounted for 90 percent of available spending money once the campaigns' unpaid debts were subtracted.
"I don't see anyone right now who's got the potential of knocking off Romney," said Mo Elleithee, a Democratic strategist who has worked for four presidential campaigns, ranging from well-funded to the underfunded. "I think the guy is well-positioned, and even more important, no one else is well-positioned to knock him off his game in the early states."
It also lays out the stark challenge facing Mr. Cain, Rep. Ron Paul, Rep. Michele Bachmann, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Sen. Rick Santorum and former Gov. John Huntsman Jr., all of whom hope to capitalize on the equalizing power of the Internet to make up for their finances.
"I'm not going to raise the kind of money Mitt Romney can raise," Mr. Gingrich, the latest in the revolving list of candidates to see his polling numbers rise, told Fox News last week. "So the question is can we find enough volunteers and can we use social media - Facebook, the Internet, Twitter - in order to compete with him? I think we can."
History suggests that the Internet can help, but usually it aids those who are already doing well, and even then is no guarantee of success.
Howard Dean, who pioneered online fundraising in 2003, surged in July, August and September that year, which is the key fundraising period in The Times' analysis. He went from having about 17 percent of the field's cash on hand to 32 percent by the end of those three months - and his prospects rose dramatically in Iowa before his spectacular collapse.
Barack Obama used the Internet to stay competitive in the Democratic primary race with Hillary Rodham Clinton in 2007. Both of those candidates easily outdistanced the rest of the field, accounting for nearly 80 percent of cash on hand as of Oct. 1.
George W. Bush set the gold standard in 1999, accounting for nearly 90 percent of the cash on hand of the GOP field after the third fundraising quarter. In the Democratic nomination race that year, Al Gore was neck-and-neck with Bill Bradley.
That leaves Mr. McCain as the outlier, and the person whom most in the current field are trying to match.
The Arizona Republican went into October 2007 with $3.5 million cash on hand, which accounted for 7.1 percent of the total GOP field's money at the time, ranking him sixth. By contrast, Mr. Romney had 18.9 percent of the money, and former New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani led the field with 36.1 percent of all funds.
Steve Duprey, a longtime New Hampshire operative and adviser to Mr. McCain, recalled the campaign's nadir in 2007, when the campaign fired its manager and deputy manager and struggled to find traction.
"We went to town meetings in April, May and June where there'd be 25 people. We'd have a nine-passenger van because we expected to be carrying press, and it would be the driver, John and me, and no press," he said.

Lorraine Rothman
Lorraine Rothman (1932 – September 25, 2007[1]) was a founding member of the feminist Self-Help Clinic movement. In 1971, she invented the Del-Em menstrual extraction kit to provide abortion to women before Roe v Wade. According to Lorraine, she thought, "What did women do before there were doctors? Let's stop the humiliation of trying to persuade the powers that be to legalize abortion. Let's just take back the technology, the tools, the skills and the information to perform early abortions and be in charge of our own reproduction." [2]
She was born Lorraine Fleishman in San Francisco, California in 1932. While working full-time, she attended Los Angeles City College and California State University Los Angeles, where she received a B.A. and teaching credential in 1954. After marrying in 1954, she moved to Baltimore with her husband, Al Rothman, and taught in the Baltimore City Public School System. She returned to California with her husband and children in 1964 and resumed public school teaching.
In 1968, Rothman first joined a local women's liberation group that met at California State University Fullerton, and then became a founding member of the Orange County chapter of NOW. Rothman's collaborative relationship with Carol Downer and the Self-Help Clinic movement began when she attended a meeting in 1971 organized by Downer to discuss women's reproductive rights and abortion. In the weeks before the meeting, Downer and a few other women had visited Harvey Karman's illegal abortion clinic on Santa Monica Boulevard in West Los Angeles to learn how Karman performed abortions. Rothman volunteered to adapt Karman's manual vacuum aspiration equipment for home use. A week after her first meeting with Downer, she demonstrated the prototype of the Del-Em menstrual extraction kit for their group. In 1972, Downer and Rothman founded the first Feminist Women's Health Center (FWHC) in Los Angeles. Later on, she co-founded the second Feminist Women's Health Center (FWHC) in Santa Ana, California.[3]
Over the next two decades, Rothman traveled widely, taking the Self-Help Clinic concept to women's groups both in and outside the United States. In addition to working as an administrator, Rothman wrote health education guides for the FWHCs. In 1999, Rothman co-authored a book critical of hormone replacement therapy. Of HRT she has said, "Hormone Replacement Therapy is a misnomer: they are not hormones (they are drugs made synthetically in the laboratory), they are not replacing anything (our bodies continue to make enough hormones during and after menopause), and they are not therapeutic (menopause is not a disease)."
Lorraine Rothman died of bladder cancer on September 25, 2007, in Fullerton, California.[4]
According to the book titled "Into Our Own Hands", "Lorraine Rothman developed a menstrual extraction kit that she called the Del-Em, which gave women unprecedented control over their monthly periods",.[5] Lorraine seemed to be more understanding about the female gendered body and was mostly concerned about more females learning about their bodies, that way they would remain aware of every circumstance about themselves. According to the same source, "Due to the tour her and Downer went on, the uproar of women wanting to see their vagina's was a lot more often than usual; therefore, they would grab mirrors and see for themselves".[6] In light of Rothman's opening of the "Los Angeles Feminist Women's Health Center" women all over the world were intrigued by their bodies and self-worth.[7] Though many women of this time still struggled to fight for equality, Rothman and her colleagues helped progress the thriving era.
As in other famous articles, authors also coincide with Rothman's life choice and stylistic values of gender when it comes to sex as well. A quote from Anne Koedt states, "Frigidity has generally been defined by men as the failure of women to have vaginal orgasms",.[8] Due to the fact that many women are unaware of what is going on in their bodies, they tend to believe that the only way to have an orgasm, is through sex,.[9] The article states that there are many more ways for women to have an orgasm.

Marcellus Kaela Fiutak, Erin Tonzi and Madeline Adams each won events as the Skaneateles girls track and field team claimed second place in Monday's Onondaga High School League Liberty division championship meet at Marcellus.
Fiutak, in the pole vault, did not reach her school-record mark of 10 feet 6 inches, but did clear 9 feet to win the title as teammate Megan Molnar (8'6) slid into third place.
Tonzi would beat the field in the triple jump, going 32'4 ¼" to top Homer's Sabina Clark (31'7") and the rest of the field. And Adams would dominate the 3,000-meter run, her time of 10 minutes, 22.07 seconds bettering Cazenovia's Jeanette Cudney (10:57.99) by more than half a minute.
Skaneateles would also win a relay – the 4x400, where the quartet of Taylor Woodruff, Molly McCarthy, Anna Barnett and Courtney Pitman got a time of 4:18.90, just enough to edge Homer (4:19.33) at the line.
Overall, Skaneateles had 96.5 points, beating most of the field, but not able to catch up from its fellow Lakers from Cazenovia, who won with 195 points.
Mary Buck contended in the pentathlon, picking up 2,121 points and winning three of the five events (800 meters, long jump and high jump), but still settling for second place behind CBA's Marisa Hamel, who had 2,199 points.
Woodruff, in the 400-meter dash, was second in 59.35 seconds to Cazenovia's Ashley Winn (57.80), and added a third in the 200-meter dash in 26.69 seconds as McCarthy (28.43 seconds) was fifth. Tonzi got fourth place in the 800-meter run in 2:29.34.
Adams, Tonzi, Kaitlyn Neal and Jenn DeRosa rose to second in the 4x800 relay in 9:57.56, trailing only Westhill/Bishop Ludden (9:54.41). Grace Delasin, Nikki Cole, Corinne LaFrance and Ashley Bonocore took third in the 4x100 relay in 54.98 seconds.
Rachel Baker took fourth in the shot put with a toss of 28' ¾", and Woodruff was fifth (13'11 ¾") in the long jump. Virginia Hamlin was sixth in the 2,000-meter steeplechase in 8:32.98, while Pitman cleared 4'4" to tie for sixth in the high jump.

Written by Mike G for Rainforest Action Network
It was pretty incredible to be in Egypt learning about one of the key uprisings of the Arab Spring and simultaneously watching from afar as the "American Autumn" got underway back here at home.
I was in Cairo meeting with revolutionaries and organizers as part of an Organizers Forum, and kept being amazed by the passion and dedication of the Egyptian people we met with. I kept wondering how we can make a large-scale, nationwide peaceful uprising happen here in the USA. And then, it seems, it did.
Given that the organizers of Occupy Wall Street are explicitly taking inspiration from the Arab Spring, it's probably no surprise that I see some interesting parallels between what I learned about the 18-day occupation of Tahrir Square in Cairo and the occupation of Wall Street, now on its 18th day. The most important being that the organizers of Occupy Wall Street aren't trying to lead a peaceful uprising, they're trying to start one. That's an important distinction. It's a model that worked across the Middle East last Spring. Don't tell the people how to stand up for their rights, show them how and then let their energies and passion flourish.
So allow me to humbly present to anyone who wants to help build momentum for the American Autumn my key observations from my meetings with the revolutionary youth of Egypt, and some of the lessons I think can be drawn from them:
The Occupy Wall Street website says it is a "leaderless resistance movement with people of many colors, genders and political persuasions." Being leaderless makes the movement more democratic and all-inclusive, which is great, as it supports the general message: "We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%." But being leaderless can also become a liability.
Having no visible leaders was a deliberate tactic of the Egyptian revolutionary movement as well — it meant there was no clear target for the Mubarak regime to take out. While the regime desperately looked for a leader it could remove to hobble the movement, the revolution's organizers were busy building the popular support that would force Mubarak from office. But it also meant that when Mubarak had stepped down and the military came to the revolutionaries to negotiate, there was no one to step up and become the revolution's figurehead and present their demands. This was the catch 22 of the Egyptian revolution. It meant that the military was able to step in and take control pending parliamentary and presidential elections — elections that the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces appears to be doing everything it can to control and dominate.
Occupy Wall Street is not trying to topple quite the same type of dictatorship as what existed in Egypt, so it's probably hard to draw any direct lessons from the Egyptian Revolution in this regard. Occupy Wall Street isn't calling for regime change so much as system change: "we can no longer afford to let corporate greed and corrupt politics set the policies of our nation." To be truly effective, the momentum Occupy Wall Street is gaining across the nation needs to be directed at some tangible demand set, so I'm stoked to see that one is already being established and tactics for making sure Congress votes on the demands are already being considered. Even better, you can go read about and vote on the Occupy Wall Street demand set right now.
Hopefully there are some spokespeople ready to step forward and sell these demands to the American populace as a whole once they've been placed before Congress. Otherwise… well, we all know what happens to good legislation when it gets to the American Congress. The American people are going to have to stay on our elected representatives' asses.
After being kidnapped and murdered by the police, Khaled Said became a symbol of the oppression and brutality that the Egyptian people had suffered for three decades under former President/dictator Hosni Mubarak. There were labor and community organizers working across Egypt during those decades, of course, and without the base of support they built the occupation of Tahrir Square might not have been sustainable long enough to bring Mubarak down. But the murder of Khaled Said was the flashpoint, the final straw that made so many Egyptians say enough is enough and rise up against the repressive regime.
There is no central symbol that is driving opposition to Wall St.'s greed and undue influence over our democracy. That is probably okay. We all know someone who's been put out of their home, or lost their entire savings, or been out of work for years now thanks to the entirely avoidable economic collapse manufactured by the unbridled greed and arrogance of Wall St. We're all fed up with the way things are going in our country. But to really get the masses out, a good symbolic rallying cry — such as "We Are All Khaled Said"— can go a long way. It took 2 million protesters in Tahrir Square to force Mubarak out. I don't know how many folks are occupying Wall St. right now, but we could always use more, I'm sure.
I'm not saying let's try and manufacture a symbol to rally around — that would almost certainly fail. But since there's no single symbol for this struggle, we should all be promoting the symbols we've found in our lives and those we find online as much as possible. Even if no central symbol emerges, the more we share stories iconic of our struggle, the more it will help drive the point home to as many folks as possible. The We Are The 99 Percent Tumblr is a good place to start.

Caryll F.The only anti-semitism I see in the protest has nothing to do with Israel or the Palestinians. I have seen rants about Jews owning wall street. the rant about seeing Jewish fingers directing the banks etc. These are remarks which one would see well before Israel was reformed in 1948. This kind of remark was expressed over and over again by the Nazis to dehumanize the Jews. By the way there are many blond Arabs and Palestinians just as there are dark Jews. The Jews are a nation, not an ethnicity or race. Yasser Arafat himself was not a Palestinian but an Egyptian.
Yep...I knew we should have taking notes.
Being "leaderless" is one of the movement's greatest strength, if not its greatest. The movements of the 1960s were killed off by killing the leaders. Those who run the country are at a loss as how to stop this movement. They arrest hundreds, the next day thousands more show up. Being leaderless is ingenious!
Norman T. One of the remarkable aspects of Tahrir Square during the days of the Revolution was the conspicuous lack of anti-Israel protest, if that's what you mean by anti-Semitism. And the anti-Israel sentiment is usually provoked by its occupation of Palestine and repressive policies. Maybe its worth remembering he remark of the very Semitic looking late Yasser Arafat to the very unSemitic looking Ashkenazi Ariel Sharon, (and we all know that the Ashkenazi did not originate in the Holy Land) when accused of anti-Semitism: How can I be against myself?
"If there is no struggle, there is no progress." ~ Frederick Douglass
Norman T. , your comment is as empty as your profile. You must be another one of those right wing plants.
There goes Steve R. with his one-sided Washington post claptrap again. And it funny that if it's a bunch of clueless gun toting mobs throwing racial slurs and spitting on a black congress man it's called the "teaparty" but if it's informed people protesting the trashing of our middle class and the economy for profit by the Wall Street Banksters you call them "rabble"
How damn hypocritical!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See the documentary "Inside Job"
You need to add a Energy Commission that is independent of our congress which acts on the best interest of our country and that has their own funding for investments of Green Energy. The main goal is to remove our dependance of fossil fuel and get us going in a clean green direction with clear goals to retool every home in america with solar/thermal heating and hot water. With clear goals for New building codes thoughout our country to include thermal/Solar/Green building only. An investment in Wind Power where fessable. No Corperate Welfare for dirty energy.
I think this 99/1 thing needs to be changed as it is very misleading. There are lots of people among the 99% who are heavily invested in Wall St.and they support the status quo. And the staus quo is based on economic theories that have profit for their shareholders as the bottom line, not the well being of the working class.And if you're going to rely on jobs that pay enough to live on, well, can't you see how that has worked out?No job creation, no job, no job, can't pay back the money you've had to borrow to have a house, a car, or anything else that is required to survive.Most of the demands given were a rehash of old ideas and we need solutions that are far more radical. Basicly, we need an economic system [and this has been known for a long time by big systems thinkers] where money is given as a stipend to live on to people directly, so it bubbles up. We see the trickle down does not work because those on top are too disconnected from reality, so you let the people do what they need to do to survive and the money will move upward and stay in circulation.You don't even need to tax the rich. Just don't give them any more money thru the banks and tax payer bailouts.

He critiques God in all his forms, from the sex-obsessed tyrant of the Old Testament to the more benign (but still illogical) Celestial Watchmaker favored by some Enlightenment thinkers. He eviscerates the major arguments for religion and demonstrates the supreme improbability of a supreme being. He shows how religion fuels war, foments bigotry, and abuses children, buttressing his points with historical and contemporary evidence. In so doing, he makes a compelling case that belief in God is not just irrational, but potentially deadly.
Dawkins has fashioned an impassioned, rigorous rebuttal to religion, to be embraced by anyone who sputters at the inconsistencies and cruelties that riddle the Bible, bristles at the inanity of "intelligent design", or agonizes over fundamentalism in the Middle East or Middle America.

The writing not having been so condescending.
No, I love the topic. And also am a fan of earlier works by Dawkins.
The shifting between the two narrators I found distracting and at times trite.
Frustration is what I felt - frustration that an important message for our time is being so forcefully and with little finesse shoved via books like this. His other book, "The Magic of Reality" (a beautifully illustrated hardcover and equally awesome App experience) is likewise condescending and put me off. However, don't shy away from the "Selfish Gene".
Atheist's out there: Read/listed to something about science and just learn how the world works (like "Big History").Non Atheists looking for a book from the "other side": I would NOT say this gives any justice to the topic unless you like being bludgeoned with opposing viewpoints which treat you as a child.
"Very weak arguments. Disappointing."
Got this audiobook hoping to find some scientific explanations for and against religion, all religion. All I got was Christian bashing and insults hurled toward that one religion. It is loosely science based but more making statements that Christianity is not probable so it must be wrong. Very disappointed by this book.
I really despised the female reader with her condescending and angry tone when any religious ideas are discussed. It sounded like she was adding her own anger toward religion rather than reading the book as facts that are written by someone other than her. The male reader was very pleasant and did not add what wasn't necessary. You might like this book but I was deeply disappointed.
"Snide remarks abound"
They're very snide and aren't above calling religious people silly or worse. Which means no theist would ever listen to this, so the whole book will only reach those who already agree.
"I really wanted to like this!!"
Nope. Never. I didn't like their writing style.
It should have been a factual, intelligent look at the idea and was instead presented as opinions. Their dialogue was childish at best and smacked of people who feel they have been wronged and need to set the record straight.
No. Lalla Ward's voice is grating at best (and I usually prefer a British accent for readers)
Not applicable.
Before I go on let me say that I share similar beliefs with the authors and at most I am an agnostic myself. This book should have spoken to me but I found very often that it just pushed me away instead.
Things wrong with this book:
1. As mentioned above much of what they say comes off as childish.
2. They criticize the religious types for not having factual info to back up their beliefs but then in many (though not all) cases they do the same.
3. They quote people then interpret for the reader saying: "what they really mean is..."
4. They also quote people then say that "given the time they couldn't say what they really wanted."
5. In many cases they tell us that so-and-so was really an atheist though give no proof to back up the claim.
6. Much of the start of the book is just a "woe-is-me. Atheists are so hard-done-by" that gets old really fast.
"My Sacred Cows Lay Slain Everywhere"
My sacred cows lay slain every where. I learned many things about many organized religions and contradictions and little known facts about the Bible. I was put off by what I found as the minimizing of pedophilia when comparing its damage to that of the religious brainwashing of children. Other than that Dawkins makes a logical well supported case against believing in any god. However, to accept his hypothesis, you must restrict your systems of perception to rationalism and empiricism. If you live by faith and not by sight, his arguments will be vacuous.
"Ummm...well, its like weird. I think... maybe"
This book is for young people 18-25 yrs. old or maybe even for people that are just now starting to question their own religious beliefs.
I was a firm non-believer when I bought this book and I was kinda hoping that it would offer some insight into why humans believe what we believe, in a more anthropological way. What you got here is Richard and Lalla tag teaming the dialog and it comes off with this weird feeling that there should be a bright light shinning in your face while they "deprogram" you. I found this format distracting, it felt hokey with a tinge of desperate.
"Charming, smart, and unpretentious"
When I first listened to the sample of this book about a year ago, I misjudged Mr. Dawkins. I fell into a trap of stereotyping him as a pretentious twit based on the little bit of content I heard. I also think his accent had something to do with it. I thought this book sounded like one written to make atheists feel validated and smug. But after having his books reccomended to me by others, and reading more and more positive things about him, I gave him a shot. I started with "The Greatest Show On Earth", moved on to "The God Delusion", and then listened to "The Selfish Gene". Now I love this guy (and Lalla Ward too). I can't get enough of his clear thinking, his understandable use of language, his vast intellect, and most surprisingly, his sense of humor. This isn't really a science book, but who would guess that a scientist could be so fun?
In The God Delusion, he's basically just making the case that being an atheist is okay, and you don't have to be ashamed to admit it. He lays out every argument made on behalf of belief, shredding them to pieces to the point where there's basically nothing left but blind faith. And profoundly unfounded blind faith at that. But its not done with contempt or maliciousness, but with wit, airtight logic, and a wry sense of humor.
Alternating narration between himself and his wife, who is a trained actress, the audio format is very pleasing to the ears. Very strong performances by both will make sure that you never become bored. This is my favorite Dawkins book.
"Dull Prose and a Disjointed Performance"
I have no beef with Dawkins' argument for atheism. What bothered me about this book was its dry, sluggish prose, its incessant reference to other works, and its two-reader narration which acted to distract rather than to enliven. Having recently listened to Hitchens' "God is Not Great," which is witty, pithy, and elegantly written, Dawkins' work seemed so dead and uninteresting. Where Hitchens can denigrate his opponents with withering logic wrapped in literary genius, Dawkins' attacks seem petty and rigid. He spends too much time worrying that he'll offend, then dives right in to some petty attacks.
Basically, this is a scientist's book about belief and non-belief. It lacks the culture and personality that many other books on the subject have in spades. Also, one good narrator would have done just fine, instead of Dawkins and a female narrator splitting the duties...poorly.
"The idea of religion"
I am reading a lot of books about the negative effect of religion these days. I started out with no intention to read any of them, but first tackled Sam Harris' The End of Faith because an online discussion was just too interesting not to participate. I found the Harris book an eye opener. The number one idea I took away from it was that it doesn't make sense to exempt religious ideas from any sort of logical argument. Our culture tacitly agrees that anyone can believe anything they want and the result is often that once someone interjects a religious sentiment into the argument or discussion, the debaters silently slink off, whether they agree or not, on the theory that the person is "entitled to his belief". Believe it or not it had not occurred to me that that practice was not exactly correct. It was tolerant and humane. Harris convinced me it was also dangerous. I think he also convinced me that religion was dangerous when it was "moderate". Then I read Kevin Phillips' American Theocracy which was notable primarily for the statistics on the numbers of Americans who believe literally in the Bible and the growth of fundamentalist believers and churches—at the expense of the mainline protestant denominations like the one I was raised in. In the interim I read several articles and speeches such as the one by Bill Moyers on why Christians in thrall to The Rapture don't care about conservation because they expect the world to end soon anyway. (I see he's even published a short book on the subject called Welcome to Doomsday). The God Delusion is my third read on this topic in less than a year, despite the fact that I would not say that religion is one of my priority topics.
I must say that while my response to Dawkins' book was a series of "buts", in all honesty I must stay that he had anticipated my responses and gave answers that satisfied me. Which is not the same thing as saying I loved the book.
"Accolades for"
In "The God Delusion", Richard Dawkins is witty, poignant, and inspiring. I have listened to most of it in a very short amount of time because I have a hard time putting it down. If you're looking for proof that belief in a personal God is irrational or an explanation to why so many people believe in God, this book will do the job. Dawkins' book is thought provoking, eye opening, and enjoyable to listen to. I'd love to see more of his books (and books like it) on this site. It is now one of my favorites.

In this book we attempt to look dispassionately at prescription in language and the effects of prescriptive attitudes on the daily lives of individuals. Prescription depends on an ideology (or set of beliefs) concerning language which requires that in language use, as in other matters, things shall be done in the 'right' way. We can, perhaps, best understand what it is by comparing language with other aspects of human behaviour, such as dress or table manners. If, in a particular culture at a particular time, guests at a dinner are required to wear evening dress (of a particular form) and required to use their knives and forks in a particular way, these requirements are prescriptive, that is, they are imposed from 'above' by 'society', not by ad hoc agreement amongst the guests themselves. They are also arbitrary: in North America, for example, the fork is transferred to the right hand for eating, whereas in Britain, the fork remains in the left hand and the knife in the right. One could actually think of a variety of perfectly efficient ways—besides these—in which a meal could be eaten; yet, in these cultures, the slightest deviation from the prescribed norms is immediately noticed and considered to be 'bad manners'.
Language is a much more complex phenomenon than table manners: it is also a much more central aspect of human experience. Whereas table manners are codified in handbooks of etiquette, 'correct' use of language is codified in handbooks of usage. It is probable that all speakers of English (and probably most speakers of many other languages) have a number of definite opinions as to what is 'correct' or 'incorrect' in the language they use. They may often look to 'expert' opinion, rather than to their own knowledge of the language, to decide. Particular English usages, such as double negatives, as in He never said nothing, are viewed as unacceptable although they are very widely used; some varieties of a language (e.g. BBC spoken English) are publicly considered to be 'better' than some other varieties (e.g. Birmingham urban dialect). Indeed, some languages are thought to be in some senses 'better' than others: it has often been claimed, for example, that French is more logical than English.
Language, as we have suggested, is a much more complex phenomenon than

Schlosshotel im Grunewald Berlin
Brahmsstrasse 10
Time Out says
Posted: Wed Nov 27 2013
Designed down to the dust ruffles by Karl Lagerfeld, this restored 1914 villa on the edge of Grunewald is a luxury that mere mortals can only dream of. There are 12 suites and 54 rooms with elegant marble bathrooms, a limousine and butler service, and a well-trained staff to scurry after you. R&R is well covered too, with a swimming pool, a golf course, tennis courts and two restaurants (with summer dining on the lawn, of course). This is a beautiful place, in a beautiful setting, but so exclusive that it might as well be on another planet. It's worth checking the internet for deals, nonetheless.

I was searching for a way to insert data into two database tables in a single query in such a way that if one failed, neither saved (I don't want orphaned data). I came across a Stack Overflow question that showed me how to use BEGIN...COMMIT to accomplish this, but it simply is not working.
Here's the query I've set up:
$query = "BEGIN;
INSERT INTO content_subpages (title, url_referer) VALUES ('$pagetitle','$url_referer');
INSERT INTO ccm_main_menu (sub_item, sub_item_link,sub_item_sort_order) VALUES ('$pagetitle','$url_referer','$newsort');
mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error());
I get the following error:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'INSERT INTO content_subpages (title, url_referer) VALUES ('TESTING','testing'); ' at line 2
This is my first time using BEGIN...COMMIT, so it's reasonable that I might be doing something wrong, but I followed the syntax of the SQL Fiddle example given by the selected answer to the Stack Overflow question I mentioned (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12649706/mysql-insert-into-multiple-tables-in-same-query-with-begincommit), but it still won't work.
If I can easily achieve the "all-or-nothing" multiple INSERT result without BEGIN...COMMIT, that would be an acceptable solution.
Thanks in advance
