bought this product 2 days ago... unlocked Chinese phone.. detected sim and working fine.. but the battery seal is removed, doesnt charge with original cable... battery doesnt last even a half day. flipkart needs to be honest with its customers. no complete info about phone in description. phone was working fine and thats the only reason i didnt go to consumer court. and seller is trying to cheat people with this kind of products.
Hi, purchased this product today, bought the Charcoal black version of Bold 9900 from Nimbus international.
The phone could not detect a sim card. I tried 3 different sim cards which worked in other phones but this phone could not detect them.
The phone also had an issue connecting to my WI FI networks, to which my other devices are already connected.
Do not buy, this seems to be a cheap or damaged Chinese copy or maybe some substandard product.
Very bad experience with Flipkart. Normally I have had a good experience.
For someone who's previous phone was the Bold 9780, this is a definite let down. That said, the touch and type is great, the feel of the phone is great too, however the short coming are terribly hard to over look.
1. The battery life is literally non-existent. It last for abt 4-5 hours max on a full charge, I've been reduced to having to charge my phone 3 times a day (The Bold 9780 on the other hand lasted for more than a day on full charge).
2. The Bold 9900 hangs, it doesn't just lag, it just shuts down, you have to actually pull the battery out and stick it back in twice for it to work. The issue isn't the new operating system(My mom has a Curve OS7) it is I think down to the fact that RIM hadn't really considered the way it(the OS) would function with the new Bold.
3. If you do want to buy this phone, wait and hope that BlackBerry rectifies it's glaring errors and short-comings.
the product is not working the Indian network and the warranty is not applicable in India, please beware before purchasing.........................
If there is anyone who doesnt vouch for this product , he probably doesnt know what a smartphone is all about . I am a user who would endorse this phone , aftr using the cream in the market comaparing it with IPHONE 5 down wards . The battery def needs a check for which I have ordered myself a 3000 mah SEIDIO from he net . I have no regrets now . Blackberry def is coming of age and the company is trying to keep themselves alive . They will be back with a bang and I am sure about it .
One cannot compare the quality that RIM standsby once they make a phone > I have heard people complaining a lot about this phone but i seriously feel u need to take care of a product for it to last on u. MAybe I have become old and have gotten used to this produsct past 6 months but tere is nothing in the market that beats this . All other devices are pure multimedia outlets .
Note-In my family of 4 there is an HTC Desire S, LG optimus black, I-phone 4 n i use a BB bold 9780 along with an ipad-1 n i touch 4th gen.
The point is that I have thouroughly used the best of what each of the top 3 OS out in the market offer.
And i wouldn't sat that BB beats all, but if u remove the usage of game apps from all, then BB humiliates all. Hence I personally use cheaper apple alternatives (i-touch) for all the app drama n also save on a lot of battery which neither android nor ios offers.
Coming to bold 4, it is by far the smartest and the fastest BB in use. Please do not go for older BB bolds any more, as there are lags n pauses which tend to irritate the user.
This beauty offers everything, I wouldn't say camera is top notch, but then again it's a phone and camera is a secondary feature.(PS-it is good enough for putting up DP's all around)
e-mail and security are as good as ever, touch is brilliant and display is excellent, probably coz of the smaller screen size. Pinch & zoom is awesome, not that it's a new thing, but does make it feel smooth. Battery life is a good 14hrs easy and then it'll be down to some 30%, which is another 3-4hrs depending on usage.
I feel a keyboard makes life much easier and Bold 4 keyboard is creamy. Also the lights around the trackpad is nice addition, adding to the glamour quotient. And as a whole the phone is extremely comfortable to hold and operate.
I would give this phone a 4.5/5, only coz of the weak camera and probably a bit expensive by around 5000rs.
And finally guys BlackBerry is a fashion n style statement, if kept on the table besides u, will tend to attract attention. And then there is the evergreen BBM, without which life is impossible.
With this u will surely love what u do and do what u love!!
Go buy it!! ;)
32K for this phone is way to pricey! I guess BB is charging premium for 1.2Ghz processor, increased RAM and OS7. But then that is going to be the norm in coming months. The phone looks and works excellent but then their are glitches that need to be fixed. For example, how can the web browser not support flash. Come on BB, that's the basic, isn't it!
Although BB are sold as professional phones, still I would expect an 8MP camera for such pricing. The touch screen is simply superb and give run for their money to Galaxy SII. Having said that, Galaxy SII is no great either. The build to flimsy and doesn't feel solid in hands and it needs to fix lot of Android issues.
Would I buy Bold 4 9900 for that price? No, I would not. I would rather buy 9780. That is more value for money for professional use and if you are not a great app user. For e-mail and messaging, Blackberrys are just fantastic.
Its certainly "the best" smart-phone in the market with a "keypad" on it,... the touch-screen adds to the magic... the form factor is simply awesome...you'll really feel great in holding the phone and you'll feel even better when typing with it...
However, within a month of constant usage you'll start missing the apps or the lack of it..especially if you are used to them in your previous smart-phone(s)... the constant news about RIM going down the drain will depress you even further on why you had to choose this phone and wonder if it has any future at all... you might have to console yourself by just looking at the keyboard and how brilliantly it has been built....
If you have really made up your mind on it, buy it asap... the sooner it is, the lesser your regrets will be(as everyday, there is either a news about a better smartphone or something on RIM falling apart)... all the more, RIM has released a few apps for free download to compensate its customer base on the recent 3-day outage and they will be free only until the end of December...
My personal rating;
Apps - 3/10
H/W specs - 8.5/10
Keyboard and Form-Factor - 10/10
Price - 4/10 (exorbitantly priced for Indian market)
This is the worst phone in the market in 30K plus price range. Reasons:
1. The battery sucks: doesn't last more than 4hours on continuous use after a full charge.
2. Creepy OS: Blackberry OS 7 is a 'biiig' flop. It's highly user unfriendly with even simplest controls hidden in layers.
3. Not a smartphone at all: Doesn't suggest last called numbers as u punch numbers in. No 'select all' feature for deleting
media files and documents.My 6000 bucks Samsung star is hell lot smarter than this blackberry crap.
4. No support for Flash: So no online games for you. Time RIM come out of illusion that they are Apple
5. Pathetic Blackberry store: No themes available. NO advance music player is there. No E books exist for this phone.
And for games, Only dinosaur's age Arcade games are there.
6. Erratic trackball (tested that on 4 models)
Verdict: If this phone was priced rs 10K,it'd been a market killer. But at 32K it's the buyer's murderer and plunderer.
I was fool enough to buy this junk, but strongly suggest you to stay away from it. Go for iPhone 4, HTC sensation,
Galaxy S2, -heck even for Nokia, but avoid this trash.

The Mansion on the Hill: Dylan, Young, Geffen, Springsteen and the Head-On Collision of Rock and Commerceby Fred Goodman
View All Available Formats & Editions
In 1964, on the brink of the British Invasion, the music business in America shunned rock and roll. There was no rock press, no such thing as artist management literally no rock-and-roll business. Today the industry will gross over $20 billion. How did this change happen?
From the moment Pete Seeger tried to cut the power at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival
In 1964, on the brink of the British Invasion, the music business in America shunned rock and roll. There was no rock press, no such thing as artist management literally no rock-and-roll business. Today the industry will gross over $20 billion. How did this change happen?
From the moment Pete Seeger tried to cut the power at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival debut of Bob Dylan's electric band, rock's cultural influence and business potential have been grasped by a rare assortment of ambitious and farsighted musicians and businessmen. Jon Landau took calls from legendary producer Jerry Wexler in his Brandeis dorm room and went on to orchestrate Bruce Springsteen's career. Albert Grossman's cold-eyed assessment of the financial power at his clients' fingertips made him the first rock manager to blaze the trail that David Geffen transformed into a superhighway. Dylan's uncanny ability to keep his manipulation of the business separate from his art and reputation prefigured the savvy and increasingly cynical professionalism of groups like the Eagles.
Fred Goodman, a longtime rock critic and journalist, digs into the contradictions and ambiguities of a generation that spurned and sought success with equal fervor. The Mansion on the Hill, named after a song title used by Hank Williams, Neil Young, and Bruce Springsteen, breaks new ground in our understanding of the people and forces that have shaped the music.
Editorial Reviews
But now that the music industry represents everything that rock 'n' roll once rebelled against, Goodman argues, that "secret language" of music no longer exists. The question left to rock's once-faithful followers is: How can rock 'n' roll remain truly authentic, when its perceived (and often contrived) authenticity has become its most marketable attribute? In attempting to answer that question, Goodman steers the spotlight away from the artists and instead details the careers of several music industry moguls -- including Albert Grossman, Bob Dylan's first manager, Jon Landau, Bruce Springsteen's longtime mentor and manager, and David Geffen -- who, with cancerous loyalty, devoted themselves to their clients and built entire empires around them.
Nowhere is the relationship between art and commerce more suspect -- and the tension created by keeping them separate more evident -- than in the relationship between Landau and Springsteen. While Goodman is not the first to question just how much Landau controls Springsteen's work, he tracks Landau with particularly merciless scrutiny and follows his career from Rolling Stone writer who once declared Springsteen to be the "rock and roll future" to MC5 producer who convinced the band members to drop their radical politics and title their album "Back in the USA" to current manufacturer of Springsteen's populist image. Seeing how easily Landau shifted gears in order to capitalize on the zeitgeist, it's easy to understand Goodman's disillusionment. As Ray Riepen, Boston's former alternative media guru, puts it in Mansion: "We believed in 1966 that maybe smart people were going to get control of things -- not just guys who were 'b'ness' men ...We were naive, but that's what we thought: Guys who were smart and had taste would get control." Mansion on the Hill amply demonstrates how, and why, that never happened. --Cynthia Joyce
Goodman, a music and entertainment reporter with credits from Rolling Stone and the New York Times, doesn't blow the lid off the big-money machinations behind the music of rebellionhe lifts the cover and carefully reveals the personalities and motivations of the industry giants behind rock's superstars. As he covers diverse careers and the business of many record companies, Goodman masterfully conveys an incestuous industry of tightly held power. David Geffenrecord industry kingpin and all-around media mavenis a featured player, along with Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, and Neil Young. Springsteen's manager and producer, John Landau, also figures prominently. The author, though critical of greedy scheming by management, pays respect to those managers, producers, and record executives who made fortunes for themselves and, sometimes, their clients. Springsteen's pages detail his rocky relationship with opportunistic manager Mike Appel and the influential, dominating influence of producer/manager Landau. The book is full of numbersmillions of dollars trade hands according to negotiated percentages. And Goodman makes it all fascinating. It's the focus on the business side that makes the lengthy book cohere. Some rock fans will undoubtedly have a hard time with this story of money changers in the temple. But a character such as Geffen, as Goodman paints him, is to be both despised and admired. Among other exploits, he stole visionary rocker Neil Young from RCA with an offer of $3 million less and a guarantee of artistic freedom, but later sued Young, unsuccessfully, for breach of contract, for failing to make "commercial" records.
Goodman travels to Oz and dares to pull back the curtainhe finds both snake oil and genius.

Read an Excerpt
Tonight, down here in the valley,
I'm lonesome and oh, how I feel,
As I sit here alone in my cabin,
I can see a mansion on the hill.
Hank Williams,
"A Mansion on the Hill"
I spent my high school summers working in the kitchen of a camp in the Poconos. It was dirty work but a great paying gig at sixty dollars a week. Of course, there wasn't a hell of a lot to do at night and that was a problem: What's the good of being sixteen and on your own if you can't go completely insane?
Sometimes we'd borrow a car and drive to New York, where the drinking age was still eighteen and we stood a better chance of getting served. But usually we'd just sit around the dilapidated shack we lived in behind the kitchen, getting loaded on whatever we could lay our hands on and listening to records. Among eight guys there were four stereos and over two thousand albums in that bunk: the bare necessities required for two months away from civilization. Music rock and roll was far and away the most discussed topic. (Girls and drugs were tied for second.)
As great as the music was, the ongoing conversation was really about something more than solos and songs. Listening to rock and roll was learning a secret language. There was something conveyed by the attitude of the bands and their records that stood apart from the music, and the way you spoke that language told people how you felt about the world. When you first met someone, the conversation turned immediately to music because once you knew which bands a person listened to, you knew if you were going to get along.
It was a lot like administering a psychological test. First you'd check to see if the basic language was there the Beatles, the Stones, and the British Invasion bands; Motown and Stax; the San Francisco groups; Dylan. After that, you'd probe special interests for signs of sophistication or character flaws. For instance, a passion for a perfectly acceptable but lightweight group like Steppenwolf showed a certain genial rebelliousness but suggested a lack of depth; a girl who listened to a lot of Joni Mitchell could probably be talked into bed but you might regret it later; a single-minded focus on the Grateful Dead and the New Riders of the Purple Sage was a sure sign of a heavy dope smoker; anyone with a record collection that traced the blues further back than John Mayall and the Yardbirds was an intellectual. It was, I recall, a remarkably accurate system.
Nearly twenty-five years later, after spending much of that time as a music business reporter, I'm not sure that secret language still exists. The question at least to someone my age is no longer "Will rock and roll change the world?" but "How did the world change rock and roll?"
Rock went through a dramatic transformation in the mid-sixties. The folk-rock movement brought a new artistic, social, and political intention to the music that early rockers did not have. Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis all were extraordinary and inventive performers, but they aspired to show business careers, not to creating lasting art. The same is true of the early Beatles, and it was folk artists and Bob Dylan in particular who changed the music's parameters and aspirations to include a quest for legitimacy, values, and authenticity specifically an interest in populist folk forms and populist politics of the left. Folk was entertainment, but there was a real and right way to play it. "It was musicology," Peter Wolf of the J. Geils Band remarked to me in recalling the spirit that infused the coffeehouse scene. That distinction set folk apart from what many of its fans viewed dimly as the junk culture entertainment that post-World War II consumer society produced solely for the sake of being sold. Considering the increasing rejection of those values in the early sixties, it's not surprising that folk found a new resonance, especially on college campuses, that led to the "folk boom" of that period. When Dylan and others created folk-rock, those aspirations were transferred to electric music, and the results proved far more popular and profound for the mass culture than folk had ever been. The most influential rock albums of the later part of the sixties were made by people who took themselves quite seriously as did their listeners.
Just a few decades ago rock was tied to a counterculture professing to be so firmly against commercial and social conventions that the notion of a "rock and roll business" seemed an oxymoron. In 1962, the year before the Beatles' debut, the $500 million record business shunned rock music "It smells but it sells" was the guilty refrain of those who stooped to recording and releasing rock records. With the rise of the popular rock culture in the sixties, as rock albums supplanted films and books as the most influential popular art form for young people, the mainstream entertainment industry embraced the music. At the better-run companies, the fiscal results were astounding: although largely unnoticed, the twenty-two-year history of Steve Ross's Warner Communications, Inc., reveals that the record operation was the firm's biggest, most dependable financial engine; the corporation widely considered the preeminent American media conglomerate of the age was literally fueled by rock and roll.
The entertainment industry has done more than survive its head-on collision with rock's antithetical culture it has thrived. This year, largely on the strength of rock, the worldwide record industry will gross over $20 billion, and global media and technology giants like Time Warner, Sony, Bertelsmann, Philips Electronics, and Thorn-EMI will view rock bands as key assets. How did this happen? And what does it mean that bands accept it?
Seriousness and artistic intent were a key part of the growing appeal of the subsequent "underground" rock scene. But the success of that scene also revolutionized the music business. It's easy to forget that in the early sixties the sound track to West Side Story was the number one album in Billboard for fifty-four weeks and that for certain rock stars today its sales figure would be considered disappointing. That commercial revolution had a huge and not necessarily positive effect on rock music. It bred financial opportunities for artists and a certain professionalism that has proven to be at odds with a quest for authenticity. I have nothing against commercial success, it's just not an artistic goal in and of itself. What I find most troubling is that the scope and reach of the business often make it impossible to tell what is done for art and what is done for commerce which calls into question the music's current ability to convey the artistic intent that made it so appealing and different to begin with. And, if the acquisition of wealth and influence is rock's ultimate meaning, then the most meaningful figure it has produced is the billionaire mogul David Geffen. Indeed, it's more than ironic that Geffen's appreciation of the dollars-and-cents value of the music has placed him in a position to exert a greater influence and power over society and politics than the artists it may be the measure of a profound failure by the musicians and their fans. Geffen is a visionary businessman and a generous philanthropist, but I never sat around the shack behind the kitchen when I was sixteen trying to divine the secret language of business, and I don't know anyone else who did. I wasn't looking for the mansion on the hill, and I didn't think rock and roll was, either.

Barnes & Noble Sinks After Forecasting Possible Loss
Barnes & Noble Inc., the largest U.S. bookstore chain, fell the most since 2001 after forecasting a possible loss for the fiscal year because of a $140 million investment in its digital book unit.
For fiscal 2011, Barnes & Noble projected breakeven to a loss of 40 cents a share, according to a statement yesterday. Analysts on average had forecast a profit. Cash flow from operations won't be generated this year because of money invested in its digital book strategy and store improvements, the New York-based company said today on a conference call.
"The market is concerned on their investments in digital technologies next year," said Michael Souers, a New York-based analyst with Standard & Poor's, who recommends holding the shares. "It's hard to know how long it's going to take to monetize the investment."
Barnes & Noble sank $3.14, or 19 percent, to $13.27 at 4:01 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading, the biggest drop since November 2001. The shares have lost 30 percent this year.
Market Share
Barnes & Noble has been trying to offset declining sales at its bookstores by investing in its digital book reader, the Nook, and applications to sell e-books. The company said today that its market share of digital books in the U.S. grew to 20 percent from 2 percent since releasing the Nook in November.
"This is a real market opportunity and for us to not seize our proportional share of it would be somewhat irresponsible given our position in the bookselling marketplace," Chief Financial Officer Joseph Lombardi said today in a telephone interview.
The retailer expects U.S. sales of trade books to increase 17 percent to $27 billion by 2014 and digital titles to comprise more than 20 percent of that, up from less than 5 percent this year. U.S. digital book sales tripled last year to $313.2 million, as the total market declined 1.8 percent to $23.9 billion.
Barnes & Noble cited the growth of its online business, which includes digital books, to reinforce the need for its investment. The unit's revenue rose 51 percent to $141 million in the quarter ended May 1.
Online revenue will increase 75 percent to $1 billion this year, the company said. Barnes & Noble doesn't provide sales figures for digital books or its Nook reader.
'Most Explosive'
"Digital publishing and digital book selling will soon become the most explosive development in the history of our industry and will sweep aside those who aren't participating," Leonard Riggio, the company's founder and chairman, said during the presentation.
The increase in digital sales will cause a drop in revenue from paper books and prompt the company to close as many as 10 Barnes & Noble stores each of the next three years, he said.
Barnes & Noble, which operates 720 bookstores and 637 college locations, said it expects online revenue to be 31 percent of the company's total sales by 2014, up from 10 percent this year. Digital books have a 20 percent profit margin, compared with 30 percent for paper books sold in stores, the retailer said.
"The market is also trying to digest the margin impact," said Souers, who today changed his annual per-share earnings estimate for the company to a loss of 12 cents from profit of 92 cents. "If they do grow sales and continue to gain share, that will have an impact on earnings down the road."
Excluding some items, the fourth-quarter loss was 89 cents a share, the company said yesterday. Analysts predicted a loss of 81 cents, the average of five estimates compiled by Bloomberg. The net loss widened to $32 million, or 58 cents a share, from $2.69 million, or 5 cents, a year earlier.
The retailer's college bookstores, purchased last year, accounted for 50 cents of the loss, including 15 cents from interest costs, Lombardi said. The February-through-April timeframe is generally a loss in the College Bookstore business.

Good Governance and the Islamic Philosophers (part 2)
[This is the fifth in a series of my notes on the International Institute of Islamic Thought conference on Good Governance in Islam: Classical and Contemporary Approaches held in Herndon, VA. These notes have only been lightly edited and represent my perception of the discussion. The proceedings will be published by IIIT at a later time. Responsibility for any errors in the notes is mine alone. Names of participants (other than mine) in the general discussion have been omitted by request of the organizers.]
"Good Governance: An Overview of the Teachings of the Philosophers in the Golden Age of Islam with a Focus on Al Farabi and his Summary of Plato's Divine Law Theory, part 2: Al-Farabi"
Dr. Charles Butterworth, Professor Emeritus, University of Maryland
At the same time there were a number of jurists and theologians like al-Ghazali and ibn Taymiyyah and in the Jewish tradition like Maimum and Shem Tov who passed onto us some of the texts of al-Farabi. There are also some people in the Latin tradition. All of the figures I mentioned were translated into Latin and were the sources of Latin Christian philosophy.
Al-Farabi and Ibn Rushd are my favorites for they preserve the Platonic and Aristotelian tradition. The world we live in is a rejection, not refutation, of the ancient and medieval tradition. The modern philosophers didn't have a good grasp of the nuances of the medieval tradition. For these thinkers reason, not faith, predominates. There is nothing there to justify walîyat al faqih. Moderation and prudence are the hallmarks of the ruler. Knowledge is a goal, not a hallmark. Mursi's attempt to thwart the generals strikes me as prudence. Al-Farabi reminds the philosopher of the importance of religion and law whether revealed or not. He wants to impress upon the theologian the essential role of reason. For Ibn Rushd the goal is to defend revelation by limiting its claims. The goal is to understand the Prophet and his mission. For Ibn Rushd that mission is sound practice for the community. Sound practice presupposes understanding of action and the purpose of action. He also wants to defend philosophy from unjust attacks upon it. In the final treatise he talks about the Prophet as a physician and blames the people who have turned away from the physician who can treat their ills. Ultimate happiness is a synonym for perfection. What serves that purpose? Music, eating, drinking, making money don't meet that standard. Nor does knowledge. To subordinate religion to philosophy only makes sense if truth is one. Philosophy and religion express the same truth by different means. Figurative speech is found in scripture. There is no provision for freedom in Farabi or Averroes except as they speak of volition or choice. Yet freedom is a condition for responsible human conduct. We have to be educated in its proper use. Liberal education is to teach people how to use freedom well. We must discern the natural order and then respect it. Ta`dîb is the goal. The lawgiver is distinct from the legislator. You do this by persuasion, education or coercion. Human beings are not equal but justice requires us treating them as equal.
Plato's Laws consists of twelve books. Al-Farabi's commentary consists of an introduction, nine parts and a conclusion. Book ten is an outrageous discussion of pagan polytheistic theology and I think Farabi skirts that issue. Here he talks about laws not in a political context, but about laws themselves. We do not know if Farabi had access to Plato's Laws or relied on a summary. He tells us the story of a pious ascetic who fell on the wrong side of a ruler who wanted to arrest him and execute him. The ascetic put on the clothes of an ascetic and skipped through town playing a stringed instrument to the gates of the palace announcing himself as the ascetic and is chased out of town by the palace guard. Is Farabi talking about Plato or himself?
Five lessons: Law, not religion, is presented as the means of improving people. One law is not suitable for all people. Sometimes despotism is necessary. Education is necessary and it must be linked with friendship and freedom. Provision must be made for justice.
There are two identical summaries of the teaching of the ancients speak only of building character, nothing about opinions. Then a negative portrayal of mutakallimûm who are winning to distort things to win the day on a verbal a battle. Kitâb al-millat begins with a strange definition of millat as opinions and practices set for a community by its first ruler, and says something about what looks like jurisprudence but nothing about kalam. Political science guided by philosophy has a ruler who understands all things and orders the city in accord with divine order.
Discussant: Mahmoud Ay9ub
Is the ruler Prophet or an imam. If a prophet, there is none after Muhammad; and if an imam, which one?
Butterworth: Alfarabi seeks to be neither a prophet nor an imam. Nor does he speak to Shi'i concerns. It would be better to refer to him as he was known in his day and afterwards, namely, as "the second teacher" (al-mu'allim al-thani) – second after Aristotle, who still remains the master of those who know.
Discussant: Yahya Michot
But later Shia used his works for their purposes. What is the purpose of the leader?
Butterworth: To bring the people to achieve or attain happiness.
General Discussion
Did reason predominate over the faith in the West because of philosophy or other key factors? Is there a connection between Greek logic and the notion of the inimitability of the Qur'an?
Butterworth: With respect to happiness, the task is to identify the most important thing – that for which it is worth doing everything else. The base pleasures are not the most important thing, nor wealth, nor – with all due apologies to Mssrs. Obama and Romney – political power. The philosophers say happiness depends upon knowledge of the whole. Hayy, who had attained such knowledge on his own, failed to show the people whom he addressed what this link was. The Latin-Christian thinkers of the Middle Ages were primarily theologians; they used reasoning and philosophical inquiry to buttress their faith positions. It is only with the rejection – rejection, not refutation – of Aristotle (Plato was, for some reason, less important) in the late 15th and early 16th centuries that reason – along with the rejection of religious piety – comes to dominate in the West. I am thinking of Bacon, Machiavelli, and Descartes, but could include others. All of these thinkers cast doubt upon providence, divine or natural. That quarrel – sometimes called the quarrel between the ancients and the moderns – continues in one way or another until today.
Hayy's failure is like Plato's failure at Syracuse. As Muslims, we believe all faith is the summit of rationality and there is no conflict between the two.
Butterworth: The lack of conflict between the two is not self-evident, and the relationship between the two has to be worked out on an ongoing basis. Consider, for example, the practical lesson in the Surah called `Abasa (he frowned).
There is a hadith of the Prophet saying, "My Lord show me things as they are." Perhaps philosophy is a contemplation of higher things. Remember the story of the encounter between Ibn Rushd and Ibn al-'Arabi: Ibn al-'Arabi comes to visit Ibn Rushd. When they meet, Ibn Rushd says to Ibn al-'Arabi "Na'm?" ("Yes?"), and Ibn al-'Arabi replies "Na'm." Then a moment later, he says "La', wa bain al-ithnayn tatawwur al-anfus" ("No, and between the two, the souls fly away"). Ibn Rushd was crestfallen at this response, for it was a rebuke to his pursuit of reason. Aristotle and Plato were not polytheists.
Butterworth: Yes the story of the encounter between Ibn Rushd, the famous rationalist, and Ibn al-'Arabi, the promising young religious scholar, is most interesting. However, I interpret Ibn Rushd's reaction to Ibn al-'Arabi's change of response differently: Ibn Rushd is crestfallen because this young man had shown so much promise, but clearly in the end had not yet gained the proper appreciated of reason's importance. Any teacher would be crestfallen given such a response.

is TWO different tinghs. Bible says: God is ONE. But church has made Jesus into god! WHY?Jesus never claimed "DIVINITY" or "TRINITY!"In fact, Bible says; GOD is ONE? Shama Israelu Adonai Ila Hayno Adna Ikhad .It is a Hebrew quotation which means: Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord[The Bible,Deuteronomy6:4] Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God. [The Bible, Exodus 20:3-5]You are going against the teachings of the bible and Jesus!!If you read; (Acts 2:22 K J V)Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God amongst you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also any other god!! (Isaiah44:8) God doesn't even know of any other Gods (Isaiah44:8).There is only one God in existence in the entire universe.•You are going against the teachings of the bible and Jesus!!•If you read; (Acts 2:22 K J V)•Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a MAN approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also any other god!! (Isaiah 44:8) God doesn't even know of any other Gods (Isaiah 44:8).•There is only one God in existence in the entire universe.•You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve" (Luke 4:8; Matt. 4:10).•Jesus said: If ye love me, keep my commandments. KJV John 14:15••He who says, I know him, and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 1 John 2:4, NKJV.••Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the Lord your God that I give you. Deuteronomy 4:2•Please note: Jesus did not write or authorise anyone to write any scripture, first bible was complied was in 350AD. Bible has beenwritten by 40 people over 1000 year period. Bible is NOT 100% word of GOD. Bible is according to Paul, Mark, Matthew, John and Luke (manmade doctrine) 90% in BLACK ink. Where is the gospel according to Jesus? which is only 10% or less in RED ink of the bible?•The message is quite clear. Need I say more.Do you still call it HOLY? When you open the bible read the preface!Where is the gospel according to Jesus?

A teenage drug dealer embraced his tearful family in the
Queenstown District Court yesterday after being sentenced to
two years and two months' jail.
After delivering the sentence, Judge Michael Turner invited
Monty Archie Vass (19) to ''say goodbye'' to his family.
Vass, a kitchen-hand, was one of three Wanaka ''street
level'' drug dealers jailed yesterday afternoon.
Daniel Miller (30) was sentenced to two years and 10 months,
while Daarian Akuhata Wira (18) was sentenced to 16 months.
All three were arrested in Operation Viking, carried out by
the Southern Police District.
The five-month undercover operation targeted the flow of
party drugs through the town.
Officers intercepted text messages and phone calls and set up
stings using undercover police officers.
A total of eight men were arrested on December 1.
Vass pleaded guilty to 22 charges.
The lead charge was for selling 2g of class B prohibited drug
MDMA, known as Ecstasy, to an undercover special operations
constable for $900 on September 13.
Vass also admitted eight charges of offering to sell class C
drug cannabis, seven charges of offering to sell class C drug
Ritalin - normally used to treat attention deficit disorder -
and other charges of procuring Ritalin, cannabis and MDMA,
conspiring to sell MDMA, and twice offering to sell MDMA, all
between July and October last year.
Judge Turner told Vass, ''When I sentence you today, I need
to denounce your behaviour and deter you and others in the
community from dealing drugs.
I also need to consider the protection of the community from
you because drug dealing harms the community.''
Judge Turner made similar comments when sentencing both
Miller and Wira.
The three cases were heard separately.
Miller, a plasterer, pleaded guilty to 27 charges relating to
selling class A, B and C prohibited drugs.
All charges stemmed from intercepted and examined text
messages, which detailed Miller offering to sell LSD on three
occasions, as well as MDMA and various quantities of cannabis
up to an ounce at a time.
He was also charged with procuring $150 worth of Ritalin and
conspiracy to sell cannabis.
Wira was given leave to apply to vary his sentence to home
A suitable address could not be found before his appearance
He pleaded guilty to two charges of offering to sell class C
drugs, Ritalin and cannabis, and one charge of offering to
sell the class B drug MDMA.
He had been approached by an undercover officer in a Wanaka
bar on September 5 and agreed to sell 1g of MDMA for $450,
although the transaction never occurred.
Wira also admitted resisting arrest and threatening to injure
a police officer on New Year's Eve.
Judge Turner also cancelled a previous community work
sentence, sentenced Wira for breaching it and resentenced him
on a burglary charge and a disorderly behaviour charge.
Judge Turner accepted all three men were street-level
dealers, with Vass and Miller dealing to support their own
drug habits.

The epitome of a "solid" experience. Nothing about it is amazing, but it's not bad...and it's certainly fun as long as you keep yourself in the mindset that these games skew a bit younger than your hardcore gamer.
This is a game that certainly joins the dots, but ultimately has the feel of a 'design by committee' delivery. Although it does have its moments, it rarely shines as much as it could. Although this is no doubt the first in a series of releases from EA, it is fair to say they could have made a bigger splash with its first outing on the DS.
A decent enough experience for younger players, the nine mini-games of EA Playground provide plenty of addictive – if not hugely challenging – fun.
Obviously directed towards the children here and now, the presentation and lasting appeal of EA Playground does not grab hold of any adult's hand any more firm than a child itself.
This simplistic minigame collection is great for young kids, and no one else.
Due to its target audience, it's understandable that EA Playground is easy, but it's inexcusable to have games that are only made challenging by their bad design.

Progressing As a 29 year old former hardcore gamer, I enjoyed EA Playground, so I don't think you have to be a kid to have fun with it. Progressing through the game offers a well-balanced challenge, collecting marbles which in turn earn you stickers that give you power-ups, which you'll need in the harder levels. Earning all those things is fun, thanks in part to good implementation of the stylus controls when they are called for, while mixing in the rest of the controls and buttons. I found that dodgeball, for example, required a special hold of the DS, in order to operate the stylus, control pad, and trigger to throw, block, and move. That could be awkward and cramp-inducing, but it's effective control on a handheld nonetheless. While you may not like every game (hopscotch and the trampoline were a little too easy and simplistic for me), each one offers enough fun and playability to keep you trying again. Sometimes it may even get maddening. Dodgeball requires some strategy, as do a lot of other "special" challenges within some of the other games, so it's not all just simple child's play. Some other games just require you to hang on, like capturing bugs while avoiding stinging bees as you reach for the level's point goal. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of replay value unless you just want to play casually after beating all the challenges. And no single card play is a real letdown. Still, this game will stay in my travel pouch.… Expand

Treasurer: Time running out on higher ed, health care
Published: Friday, October 29, 2010 at 12:42 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, October 29, 2010 at 12:42 p.m.
THIBODAUX — The state treasurer says time is running out for the governor and Legislature to fix an impending $1.6 billion budget deficit for next year, and he has a plan he claims can fix the problem.
State Treasurer John Kennedy has presented a 16-point plan that he said will save the state $2.6 billion without raising taxes.
"I'm very concerned about waiting," Kennedy said. "Everybody is looking to the governor."
Several of his ideas are rooted in the theory that state government has other places to cut before focusing its attention on higher-education and health-care budgets.
He cited Bureau of Labor Statistics, which indicate Louisiana has 258 state jobs per 10,000 people, well above the national average of 143.
Eliminating 5,000 state positions annually over the next three years, which he says can be accomplished by not filling one-third of the state's job vacancies, will save Louisiana $500 million, Kennedy said.
He also wants to eliminate 10 percent of the state's 16,000 consulting contracts and re-negotiate the remaining ones — moves he said will save the state more than $1 billion.
"We've got contracts consulting us on how kids play at recess," he said. "Those are not priorities."
He also recommends the state reduce unnecessary emergency-room visits for Medicaid patients, allow low-income residents to buy private insurance when it is less expensive than Medicaid and require state prisoners to pursue a GED as an incentive for probation or parole.
Most importantly, Kennedy said, none of his plans involve "destroying health care and higher education," the only two portions of the budget not protected by the state constitution.
"Some will argue we have no choice but to cut health care and higher ed," he said. "We have enough money in the state budget to avoid that."
He said this year's budget comes in at about $25 billion, a substantial increase from 2005's $19 billion budget.
"Even at $25 billion, that's more than we had five years ago," he said. "You've got to set priorities."
Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration has said leaving jobs vacant for three years would have "severe consequences for those critical services that experience exceptionally high turnover."
The administration has also said evenly distributing job cuts would result in a loss of 2,000 higher-education positions and the $100 million in insurance savings is not achievable.
Kennedy is unfazed by the criticism.
"If you ask the bureaucracy to change, they will tell you 'no,' " Kennedy said. "If you want to exempt higher education, you can. Tell me you don't want to, but don't tell me you can't."
Kennedy said he will meet with Paul Rainwater, Jindal's top financial advisor and chief administrative officer for the state, on Tuesday to discuss his ideas.
Rep. Jerome "Dee" Richard, a Thibodaux lawmaker with no party affiliation, said he supports many of Kennedy's suggestions, and he is ready to begin pre-filing bills to take action on them if Jindal does not implement them himself.
But the time to act, Richard said, is now.
"Even if I file these bills, it's going to do nothing to avoid this cliff," he said. "The governor can do these things now."
The full list of Kennedy's suggestions can be found at www.treasury.state.la.us. The administration's response can be found at www.doa.louisiana.gov.

The Fourth Awakening is definitely a good read.,
Ce commentaire fait référence ŕ cette édition : The Fourth Awakening (English Edition) (Format Kindle)
Reading this book made me think of a line from an old Bob Buffalo Springfield song "Somethin' happenin' here, what it is ain't exactly clear..." Only this book helped me become aware of what IS happening. And it did it in such a great non-preachy way using interesting characters in an exciting thriller plot.
Gotta love it when a story captures your attention and in the process turns your brain around and has you looking at your life the way the main characters are seeing theirs. I wish I could meet Michael Walker and find out more about The Fourth Awakening we are all headed for. Human beings running around in their exciting daily lives as Humanity heads straight for another critical moment in our history. What more could you want?
I cannot wait to read the second book in the series "The Gathering Darkness" to see what happens to one of my new favorite characters Penelope Drayton Spence. I'll find out what happens as Michael hopefully continues to draw her into the conflict between those who want humanity to evolve, and those who need us to stay in the darkness where they alone can enjoy their earthly lives.
Definitely a good read!

beautiful art, average idea

It's spike-like transformations and geometric contortions, this ad is related to the video.
The art is great.
It reminds me of the LG chocolate commercials..but to me, it needs more product recognition. I can't tell if it's for a chocolate bar or a fudge themed dance club. If it's chocolate milk, put it in a glass cup. up the milk. The idea is simple...but the execution in communicating that idea needs more work.
good art

Thanks for playing Dots Deluxe Free!!!
Customer Reviews
I really like playing this except that I wish the computer would take a little more time deciding where to move. I seldom see the move, and I have to hunt to find it. Often I don't see it, and sometimes the computer will get boxes because of it. It is handy not having to draw 100 dots on a paper to play the game :-)
Fun but too easy
The computer opponent doesn't think. It makes bad moves all the time, so the game is impossible to lose. It seems the computer moves are simply random (unless closing a box), so there's no strategy for me to compete with. Also, it's hard to see where the computer made its move (too fast) with blue lines against a black background.
Fun game just too hard for my eyes to see. Wish I could change the colors so I don't have to stop before every move to see where the computer went. I've played about 20 times only lost once but each game took a while to complete. Good that u can stop and come back to where I left off bad that it causes me eye strain.

Making decisions can be a vexing experience. It seems that no matter the enterprise, decisions ignite conflict, arguments, and hurt feelings. But often it is not what the decision is but how it is executed that causes problems.
Executives are under siege from countless disparate business priorities all claiming to be number one. The competing priorities are all persuasive. Priorities can come from you, your board or other boss, or from employees.

Progressive Potholes on the Road to Economic Growth
In regard to the March 25 op-ed "A Better Strategy for Faster Growth" by George P. Shultz, Gary S. Becker, Michael J. Boskin, John F. Cogan, Allan H. Meltzer and John B. Taylor:
The authors make a statement in the second paragraph: "The country needs a long-term strategy to achieve its common goals of personal freedom, noninflationary prosperity, broad-based economic opportunity and mobility, and national security." In contrast to that statement, President Barack Obama, in his State of the Union address on Feb. 12, said, "It is our unfinished task to restore the basic bargain that built this country—the idea that if you work hard and meet your responsibilities, you can get ahead, no matter where you come from, what you look like, or who you love."
Review the "common goals" and "basic bargain" and you will understand the divide in our country today. One is rooted in the belief system of our Founding Fathers, the other in the belief system of the progressive movement. One wants a limited government to pave the roads to freedom to pursue individual happiness, the other wants a massive government to guarantee and pay for whatever the leaders of the government decide is "social justice." One requires adherence to the words of our Constitution as the rule of law, the other sees a living Constitution changing with the times and the rule of men. One believes in our rights being natural and granted by God, the other arbitrary and created by governments.
One or other of the two philosophies must be selected and used as a guide to establish "A Better Strategy for Faster Growth." Perhaps the past election did in fact select one side. Unfortunately.
Theodore M. Wight
The authors admirably express the crucial necessity of limiting the government to its proper role in order to secure the "principles of the free-enterprise system." Unfortunately, they deem as "basic" some functions that inherently undermine such limitations. Of the activities they enumerate, only national defense and the protection of property rights are government functions consistent with freedom. Regulation and redistribution (which they euphemistically call "marketplace rules" and a "safety net") directly contradict the American vision of a limited government.
In essence, the authors pose as critics of the welfare state but spend the entire article proposing ways to avoid dismantling it. This is untenable; striving to preserve even a watered-down version of the regulatory-welfare apparatus keeps the flood gates open to the increasingly unlimited government that we have today—the very problem the authors purport to address.
We must confront the fact that the government can either secure the rights of its citizens to their lives, liberty and property, or attempt to provide for the material needs of all, but it cannot do both. The latter requires surrendering the former.
Stephen Bourque
Littleton, Mass.
The authors—esteemed economists, statesmen and public policy experts—may be 100% right in their proposals for greater prosperity, but the fact is that more than 50% of Americans recently rejected a growth formula similar to theirs that was offered by the Romney-Ryan ticket. Assuming that most voters were not fixated purely on the personalities of the candidates or on foreign-policy issues, they apparently decided that higher taxes on the rich was a better growth alternative than entitlement reform. Rep. Ryan's argument that humane control of entitlement spending was the only way to save entitlements was not a crowd pleaser.
President Obama and Democrats in Congress are sticking with the government-spending vision that rewarded them with eight years in the White House and a Senate majority. Mitt Romney was skewered for pointing out that 47% of voters paid no income taxes. The op-ed authors now add that 42% of working-age American households receive benefits from at least one federal welfare-entitlement program. Not long ago, government dependency would have been seen as economic failure, as would unemployment close to 8% and economic growth of 2%.
So even if the best strategy for economic growth "must be based on principles of the free-enterprise system" in which government's role is limited, the best strategy for growth in political power is based on principles of public-sector expansion and income transfers to support benefits. A brilliant plan that is 100% logical, tested and effective has 0% chance of adoption, given voter sentiment and diametrically opposed views of Democrats running Washington.

This is a new place that me & my honey went to on Saturday. LOVE the way we were greeted upon arriving & while walking to our table. LOVED the intimacy, the atmosphere & the fact that Chef Tony is actually roaming the floor instead of staying behind the scene. The menu options were just enough & not too overwhelming. Our waiter was superb in explaining the dishes to us & making accommodations if we needed them. I had the Jumbo Shrimp Pasta which was EXCELLENT! Made with the right spices & not overdoing it with the sauce. My honey had the Chicken PIcatta & he absolutely LOVED IT!! I know that my honey liked the place because he was still raving about it the following day up until the night. When we left out we were thanked for dining in with them, We will definitely be returning to this restaurant asking for the same waiter. This place definitely is in our Top 5!

She wanted to know what was important, to her and to those in her around her. So the artist, known for her placemaking projects and urban planning ideas, painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint and stenciled the words, "Before I die I want to..." onto it. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

"When childhood dies, its corpses are called adults and they enter society, one of the politer names of hell. That is why we dread children, even if we love them, they show us the state of our decay."
"I don't have any great love for Chicago. What the hell, a childhood around Douglas Park isn't very memorable. I remember the street fights and how you were afraid to cross the bridge 'cause the Irish kid on the other side would beat your head in. I left Chicago a long time ago."
"When a child is severely abused it forever is entrapped in its body as a child...the body matures, but the spirit is still a child."
