Community, Liberalism and Christian Ethics by David Fergusson
Book DescriptionThis book explores some issues on the borderland between moral philosophy and Christian theology. Particular attention is paid to the issues at stake between liberals and communitarians and the dispute between realists, non-realists and quasi-realists. In the course of the discussion the writings of Alasdair MacIntyre, George Lindbeck and Stanley Hauerwas are examined. While sympathetic to many of the typical features of post-liberalism, the argument is critical at selected points in seeking to defend realism and accommodate some aspects of liberalism. The position that emerges is more neo-Barthian than post-liberal. In maintaining the distinctiveness of Christian ethics and community, the book also seeks to acknowledge common moral ground held by those within and without the church.

Beware the Ides of February kids, and remember the Man in your youth, or the crap that you done back then will bite you in the arse. That's Shakespeare, right there, he wrote the Bible, so he knows a few things about love.
Fathom my surprise when upon looking at the little kitty calendar that resides upon my refrigerator I realized today is Valentine's Day. The day of love and romance, and little bitty pieces of candy that say things like "Be Mine" and "True Love" and "Don't Forget To Take Out The Trash, You Bozo!"
It is a day that brings up cursing for me. For when I was but young, and foolish, I thought the day was special and treated it as such. These were the days before marriage, when I was but courting my sweet, precious wife, and we lived miles apart – her being in graduate school in Indiana, and me working diligently in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
During those days of yore, I was unable to be with my sweet, dear one for the big day of love and mushiness, nor would I even be able to visit for the few weeks before or after. It was then that I hatched a plan so romantical, the world would never believe it.
I created the Fourteen Days of Valentine. No, one day just wasn't enough for the likes of me and my baby. I would give her one gift every day starting on the First of February and lasting until St. Valentine himself puked up a lung.
All though January I worked upon my secret romancings. I arrived at her doorstep a few days before February loaded with fourteen boxes, all carefully marked with the appropriate day for her to open. She was surprised and elated and I believed I was set for life.
I gave typical gifts: chocolate, cards with sweet nothings engraved upon it's side.
I gave interesting gifts: mix tapes with the greatest, most romantic songs ever written, a Robert Frost poem attached to a bouquet of roses.
I gave gifts of great romance: a little card with the words "I love you" written on it and a note saying that now, no matter how far apart we were, she'd always have my love. Then there was the sweetest poem by Lewis Carroll about kisses, placed in a lovely crushed velvet box full of chocolate kisses.
She loved it, and declared me the greatest lover in the history of great lovers. It was a glorious time to be in love. I knew I had nothing to worry about for the rest of our relationship.
Or so I thought.
The next year came, and there she was expecting more grandiose romanticism. "Where are my Fourteen Days of Valentine?" she asked. "Where are my poems, my songs, my flowers?"
It's been six years since I gave her those gifts, and I have yet to hear the end of it. I will never live up to those two weeks. If I live to be a hundred and twenty, she'll still be asking me about the Fourteen Days. No dinner, or jewelry will ever quite match those two weeks back then.
So, my advice goes out to all you out there who are enthralled with the mysteries of St. Valentine, to all of those courting that one special someone. My advice to you is to dine at the Olive Garden and rent a Meg Ryan movie and be done with it. Anything else just isn't worth it.
You'll thank me in years to come.Powered by Sidelines

Skip to comments.Abiogenesis is Irrelevant to Evolution (is it now?)
Posted on 06/06/2013 12:16:27 PM PDT by kimtom
(article photo) The Law of Biogenesis tells us that in nature, life comes only from life of its kind (Miller, 2012). Therefore, abiogenesis (i.e., life arising from non-living materials) is impossible, according to the scientific evidence. How then can atheistic theories like Darwinian evolution be considered acceptable? There is a growing trend among evolutionists today to attempt to sidestep the problem of abiogenesis by contending that evolution has nothing to do with the origin of life, but rather is a theory which starts with life already in existence and explains the origin of all species from that original life form. However, this approach is merely wishful thinkingan effort to avoid the logical import of the Law of Biogenesis.
Historically, evolutionists have recognized that abiogenesis is a fundamental assumption inherent in evolutionary theory, and intuitively must be so. In 1960, British evolutionary physiologist, G.A. Kerkut, listed abiogenesis as the first assumption in a list of non-provable assumptions upon which evolution is founded. The first assumption is ........
(Excerpt) Read more at apologeticspress.org ...
I know how it started. I watched Prometheis. Great special effects but not really all that good a story. A shame because I normally like Ridley Scott's stuff.
But at least he explained the origin of life on earth. Well, human life, anyway...
Robert M Hazen, "genesis: The Scientific Quest For Life's Origin". He also has some interesting lectures on youtube.
BTW, I'm a deep believer in God and The Bible.
Why is it so hard to understand that evolution is a theory on how organisms change and adapt after they already exist. How life came to exist is a separate question entirely. Obviously things like natural selection cannot occur before life begins, just like you cannot tune an engine before an engine exists.
Uhh, actually, this is exactly what Darwin said in Origin of Species.
It is at least a little bit humble, unlike the really stupid guys who claim evolution "disproves" the existence of God.
'Why is it so hard to understand that evolution is a theory on how organisms change and adapt after they already exist.'
Because, there is a football game being played, and people want to know the name of the kicker who started it. One has a relationship with the other.
Darwin didn't know that either, but neither did Clark.
That 5th dimension probably has a lot to do with genetics.
Darwin said directly that he had no idea how life originated but proposed a theory about how it evolved. If Miller can't get something so easily verifiable right I'm not inclined to listen to much else he has to say. There are research standards, you know.
"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being evolved." (Bolding added).
Do you know the actual quote from origin of the species? would love to have it handy.
Yes, look in post #9
If, however, a curious bit of evidence were to surface, and someone were to say "Perhaps we need to broaden our view in order to explain this ..." The strict materialist will shut that conversation down -- no broader view is needed. Get a better microscope. Find new techniques. Empirical evidence is all we will ever need. By definition of what "science" is.
On the other hand, if we look at the origin of life and conclude that something "other" had to play a role, then we open the door to further exploration of other aspects of biology and the possibility that something beyond the empirical world could be considered, and might not be inappropriate.
Science is either 100% materialistic, or it's not. The pure evolutionists are counting on it being 100% materialist. The folks with Faith are willing to accept a material solution for much, but not all, that we see around us.
I'm not narrow-minded: I live in a world of both Faith and Science.
Quote is from Darwin's Ghost (page 170) by Steve Jones, a well-done, full of facts, modern update of each and every chapter in Darwin's "Origin"
"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone circling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being evolved."
Last paragraph of Origin of Species, at least in some versions.
Makes a considerably stronger case for a Creator being involved that I remembered.
Turns out I exactly agree with Darwin. Quite a shock to me.
Sorry, didn't mean to step on your post. Didn't see it.
Life is fascinating , isn't it???
long-term evolution experiments do not show major evidence for macroevolutionary change (Behe, 2010). Perhaps the more important point has to do with the types of changes that can be expected. As one geneticist argued in a recent book, mutations cause the decay of the message of the genome rather than the formation of new information (Sanford, 2008). A summary of long-term evolution experiments also suggests that even mutations considered beneficial (for the organism) in these studies generally involved the loss of genetic information (Behe, 2010).

How very supercilious of you to assume a lack of understanding on the part of critics.
When the mechanism claimed for natural selection is a function of the extant living system, the nature of that system becomes a seminal question. To ignore it is as facile as "let them eat cake."
"Therefore, abiogenesis (i.e., life arising from non-living materials) is impossible, according to the scientific evidence."
That's not true, according to the scientific evidence. While the individual asserting this is a mechanical and biomechanical engineer, his expertise is not in genetics or biology.
Let's start with the famous Miller-Urey experiment of 1952.
It was was an experiment that simulated the conditions thought at the time to be present on the early Earth, and tested for the occurrence of chemical origins of life.
in 2007, scientists examining sealed vials preserved from the original experiments were able to show that there were actually well over 20 different amino acids produced in Miller's original experiments. That is considerably more than what Miller originally reported, and more than the 20 that naturally occur in life.
Moreover, some evidence suggests that Earth's original atmosphere might have had a different composition from the gas used in the MillerUrey experiment.
There is abundant evidence of major volcanic eruptions 4 billion years ago, which would have released carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and sulfur dioxide (SO2) into the atmosphere.
Experiments using these gases in addition to the ones in the original MillerUrey experiment have produced even more diverse molecules. Meteorites have been found to contain over 90 different amino acids, nineteen of which are found in Earth life.
So how do amino acids become life? By joining together.
When a few amino acids join together, which happens spontaneously, they form peptides. And peptides act as the "glue" that hold chains of amino acids together forming proteins, a class of molecules. And primitive proteins can replicate themselves.
An example of this process today are "prions", like "Mad Cow disease", in which a corrupted protein can make other, similar, proteins modify themselves to become corrupt as well. This happens at even a smaller scale than the tiniest viruses.
Eventually, proteins become so complex they become RNA, which encapsulates itself to effectively become a virus. Still questionable if it can be called "alive" yet.
However, this is pretty much the start of evolution. As viruses became more complicated, the eventual result was the three "domains" of life. The simplest of these are the Archaea, which look like bacteria but are much simpler, and have a completely different evolutionary path.
They are so simple that these microbes have no cell nucleus or any other membrane-bound organelles within their cells. An organelle is is a specialized subunit within a cell that has a specific function, and it is usually separately enclosed. Thus Archaea are so simple that they consume "raw materials" like hydrogen gas.
Next up, in a huge leap of complexity, are the bacteria, whose RNA has become complex enough to be DNA, which reproduce by dividing themselves, forming near identical nuclei and organelles, over and over again. But they still retain their individuality as single celled organisms.
Finally, when bacteria started to band together, with groups of them performing specialized functions, the final domain of evolution was created, the eukaryotes, which includes all plants and animals other than bacteria and Archaea.
So if you look at a human, their cells could be described as groups of bacteria that specialized into organs, and whose DNA is the same in all their cells, which assures that they reproduce almost identically to their parents.
The split between the animal and plant kingdom was simple enough. The plants adopted a hard shell for their cells, but animals still use soft cells.
The only reason evolutionists are claiming this today is that they've been unsuccessful without massive intervention by intelligent design provided by abiogenesis researchers themselves in the laboratory in demonstrating how a living, self-replicating organisms (such as a cell) could have formed by itself, by means of purely physical forces, plus lots of time.
The two best books on this subject are long out of print but still available if you search for them: "The Mystery of Life's Origin: Reassessing Current Theories" by Charles Thaxton, et al.; and "The Creation of Life: A Cybernetic Approach to Evolution" by A. E. Wilder Smith. Among other things, they both show that all theories of abiogenesis violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics, as well as violating its statistical-mechanics interpretation (i.e., left to themselves, systems always move from configurations of lower probability to configurations of higher probability; that's why things decay; that's why a nice straight wall made of brick and mortar (a low-probability configuration for clay and mortar to take) always, over time, turns into one of many possible piles of rubble (one of many high-probability configurations clay and mortar can take). I've never seen any intelligible response from abiogenesis enthusiasts to this objection.
Additionally, there are mathematical coding-theory objections to many abiogenesis scenarios: i.e., since 64 possible codons in DNA/RNA represent, or map to, 20 amino acids that build various proteins, the 64-symbol alphabet must precede the 20-symbol alphabet; i.e., you can map 64 symbols onto 20 symbols (with redundancy), but you cannot map 20 symbols onto 64 symbols (without ambiguity, which is the death of the code system). So a "proteins-first" scenario is mathematically impossible; i.e., DNA would (mathematically) have to have appeared first, followed by protein synthesis. The problem here, however, is the DNA itself requires the environment of a pre-existing cell (with all of its proteins) in order to function. I've never heard any intelligible response by abiogenesis enthusiasts to this chicken-egg paradox between DNA and proteins.
Finally, there's another basic coding-theory problem that remains unsolved by abiogenesis: in order for a code to function as a code, both the sender and receiver must have PRIOR knowledge of what the code means, i.e., what the code is supposed to code for, and how it is supposed to be decoded. In the case of the living cell, both the DNA molecule and the ribosome must have "communicated" with each other in the distant past in order for both of them to "understand" the same code, i.e., that 64 possible 3-letter arrangements of nucleotides represent 20 possible amino acids that can be combined into many different polypeptide (proteins). This, too, remains unsolved... and perhaps unsolvable by purely naturalistic, material explanations.
Darwin is not a god. (do not be insulted) The followers of Darwinism do believe in Abiogenesis, (if asked and if they are honest, except theistic evolutionist, who believe in supernatural inference.)
Further in article;
"..The truth is, one cannot logically commence a study of Life Science or Biologystudies which are intimately linked with the theory of evolution by the bulk of the scientific community todaywithout first studying the origin of that life which allegedly evolved from a single-celled organism into the various forms of life on Earth today. Biology and Life Science textbooks today, with almost unanimity, include a discussion of biogenesis, abiogenesis (ironically, discussing the work of Pasteur, Spallanzani, and Redi, who disproved the theory of abiogenesis), and extensive discussions of evolutionary theory. The evolutionists themselves inevitably couple Biology and Life Science with evolution, as though they are one and the same. But a study of lifebiologymust have a starting point...."
-Jeff Miller, Ph.D.
Fixed it for ya!
While the individual asserting this is a mechanical and biomechanical engineer, his expertise is not in genetics or biology.
What? Living systems are made of fairy dust or some other exotic compound that doesn't have to observe the laws of physics?
No one denies that organisms change,
what the argument is is
Two assumptions - it was always there since the organism's original ancestor was created
or, it appeared through mistakes and random modifications.
On a related but much simpler note, didn't you ever wonder where "instincts" come from?
Instinctive behavior is software, even if it's hardcoded into the mechanism. How do you get software without a decision, a concept that is anathema to natural selection?
Evos are backtracking or walking back the more extravagant claims of evolution a little bit. They will still teach it in their Universities in all its improbablity but this once for public consumption they will back off a tad. Then later when faced with a particular absurdity they can say will I said back in June 2013.... That's covering your ass with your hat.
"Darwinian Evolution" however, has been used by the "mainstream" of science to explain everything back to the Big Bang.
I like the "post turtle" analogy, myself.
We know all we need to know about the nature of both fenceposts and turtles to know that if we find a turtle balanced on a fencepost, someone had to put it there.
Claiming some as yet undiscovered mechanism allowed the turtle to perch on the fencepost through undirected means is intellectually dishonest.
Let's just tear it all down and burn the books.
I study this a lot, having a lifelong interest in biology.
There is right now ZERO DOUBT that mutations can happen in an animal/plants genetic sequences.
There is ZERO DOUBT that that change/mutation can be passed on to its offspring.
That is what evolution means.
But at the same time, there is ZERO DOUBT that a simple theory of evolution can IN ANY WAY explain how it all started, what is exactly The Breath of Life"?
Even for the simplest cells or fungi, there are tens if not hundreds of thousands of cellular "machines", MILLIONS of different types of proteins, it couldn't have evolved all at once, and it couldn't have evolved in a step fashion, because in a step fashion it simply wouldn't have all the parts it needed to eat and reproduce.
Irreducible complexity.
".. start with the famous Miller-Urey experiment of 1952.
It was was an experiment that simulated the conditions
First note, even if it had been successful in producing "life" it would prove an INTELLIGENT outside agent was required to "create the right environment" to bring it about.
2nd ; The most famous example of trying to create life from nonlife is the 1953 experiment carried out by Miller and Urey. Using a system of glass flasks, these two scientists attempted to simulate early atmospheric conditions. They passed an electrical spark through a mixture containing water, ammonia, methane, and hydrogen. However, their experiment was carried out in the absence of oxygen (something even evolutionists now admit does not reflect the early Earths atmosphere), because they knew that oxygen quickly would oxidize any amino acids that were formedthereby preventing the formation of anything living.
Remember to be honest, we do not know the conditions that existed pre-life.
Considering all the interference by evolutionist to bring it about (the right conditions) have failed to reach their goal.
(my opinion)
There is ZERO DOUBT that that change/mutation can be passed on to its offspring.
That is what evolution means.
That is being intellectually dis-honest, None of your statements prove that mutations (loss of information) lead to evolutionary progression to a high more advantageous life-form.
"...Let's just tear it all down and burn the books.
Nope. I do not think those disciplines require evolution.
If you're singling out just one theory to apply special treatment to, then you do not have any arguable claim of objectivity.
Weak. No one from those fields are trying to build careers on alchemy.
They may have used that term, but all it shows is that they are idiots.
Darwinian Evolution explains (or tries to) exactly what Darwin said, the Origin of Species, not the origin of life. How one organism develops into others.
Evolution, as such, has exactly zero to say about the origin of life, and less than that about physics and the Big Bang.\
I've always thought it highly amusing that some use the Big Bang Theory to "prove" the Bible is wrong and God doesn't exist. Whereas the theory is just a restatement of Genesis 1:1, with a creator added. Suddenly the heavens and the earth came into existence.
You do when one theory observes a completely different set of protocols in practicing its "science."
Are we here to talk about theories or people?
One way some (less intelligent, IMO) opponents of the idea of having God involved handle this issue is to recreate God, except they call him Aliens, who travel around the universe seeding life onto new worlds.
How exactly moving the start of life off-planet is supposed to address the issue is something I cannot fathom.
1. Functional InformationHow could such a system form randomly, without any intelligence, and totally unguided?
2. Encoder
3. Error Correction
4. Decoder
What would come first - the encoder, error correction, or the decoder? How and where did the functional information originate? IOW did the hardware create the software - or did the software create the self-replicating hardware?...
Sorry, but this one won't fly. All viruses are parasitic. They can reproduce only by infecting a living cell and "reprogramming" it to produce more viruses. Very much, actually, like a computer virus.
The notion of viruses reproducing independently and gradually evolving towards greater complexity is pretty silly. Much like a computer virus living in the wild of a world without computers or electricity.
I don't have to prove anything.
All it takes is a belief that one in a thousand (or one in a million or one in a billion just pick a number) mutations give a survival advantage to the organism.
Remember something:
Darwins ideas have to do with survival of the fittest, not evolution as we see it today. Darwins ideas were proposed in the late 1800's, almost a hundred years before DNA was even discovered.
It is kind of in hindsight that we see how DNA might relate to species variation.
And as I implied in my original post, evolution CAN explain differences between species and even differences between members of the same species.
But what evolution CANNOT explain is how it all got started.
We are here to talk about relevant issues to the subject.
I believe it was you that crossed the subject matter line first, so forgive me if I read a measure of petulance into your reply.
What protocols are they using that render it invalid, and what other disciplines and theories rely on those same protocols?
If you can read and understand my earlier response you'll see that your response here is a nonsequitur. If you can't see that, I am incapable of resolving that difficulty. Darwin never discussed the origin of life. Period.
If we're here to talk about people under the guise of talking about theories, then I want none of it, and I'll leave.
Correct re: viruses, they have DNA (or RNA) but lack the transcription factors they need to reproduce.
But there's the rub:
How could a cell that doesn't have the transcription factors reproduce and somehow carry on its (non-existent) transcription factors?
How can a cell that REQUIRES a sodium-potassium pump pass on a sodium-potassium pump to it's offspring if it doesn't already have it in the DNA?
It can't.
Life is a very complex process with multiple dependent systems.
Most of those systems could not have evolved independently, because in the absence of life, what we call a system is a mini-molecular machine that, without life, wouldn't do a single thing of any consequence.
Why do you assume all mutations are loss of information? Mutation means different information.
Evolution has fewer special exceptions than plate tectonics and plate tectonics is currently the generally accepted theory of geology. While many are willing to admit that origins of life is a whopper of an exception, it is the only major one. One of my complaints is that too many on both sides of the crevo wars refuse to accept that "I don't know" or insufficient evidence, is the best answer you can get to some questions (like Is this grad students speculation about the origins of life correct?)

Certainly they do, when they are moving. But knowing how a nutcracker works gives you no insight as to how it is made. You can compare it to other devices similar to nutcrackers, and you can explain the physics of how it works, but you have no description of how it is made.

Evgeny Kuznetsov and Jan Bulis are two of the Traktor's highest-paid players (Photo credit: Vitaly Gubin/HC Traktor)
Sports.ru has revealed the list of the 90 highest-paid KHL players. Unsurprisingly, Ilya Kovalchuk, who retired from the NHL to sign with SKA St. Petersburg, tops the list at $10.3 million per year (in US dollars). Alexander Radulov, who signed with CSKA Moscow a year ago, holds second place with $7.5 million per season. Sergei Zinovyev is inarguably the worst contract in the KHL. He's a center in the last season of a five-year deal with Salavat Yulaev whose production has fallen dramatically during that contract, but he still makes $4.7 million per year, third highest in the league.
The list also features a few names that should be familiar to Washington Capitals fans.
Caps' 2010 first-round pick Evgeny Kuznetsov holds ninth place with an annual salary of $3.8 million. He's the highest-paid player on his team, Traktor Chelyabinsk, and overall among players 26 or younger.
Ex-Caps prospect Staffan Kronwall is tied for 69th with $1.5 million. A veteran of 181 games with the Capitals, Kuznetsov's linemate Jan Bulis is tied for 73rd with $1.4 million.
All numbers are unofficial.
Never gonna leave Russia
Considering tax rates, this means that Kuzya getting equivalent of 6.5-7M USD. One just can hope that he wants to play for Caps and in NHL so much, that will agree to play for 900K$ base salary plus ~3M$ of mostly unattainable bonuses.
The article is posted in USD
In Russia it is a flat tax rate of 13%, that's why I mentioned 'equivalent' of what will left in hand, when you pay all your US tax obligations and payments w/o tricks.
If you think Kuznetsov was ever going to come over to the US, this should cement it as a big no. Enjoy your second tier hockey.
Don't see the casation here. Kuznetsov talked about coming over after he got that two-year deal.
Long term deals in the KHL are like a death wish. Even high caliber players like Kuzy rarely get them

"Caught" "Caught in his room, left and knocked to the side, no help from him, so powerless"
"Is this what love is suppose to do?" " told to leave, get out, scram and never come back to this house"
"If you really care for him, please if you just leave I won't tell your mother now go on get out!, Scram!"
So I say, "I love you i hoped that nothing could ever stop us from enjoying each other."
With tears on my face a huge hug from me to him and the last kiss that he ever gave me.
So many days, So many nights only to be waiting for him and dieing every second we're away from each other.
"I need you, only to hold and feel your very touch would make so happy i would never want to leave you, always and forever yours don't you dare leave me here to die."

With the start of production just a few weeks away, Fox is getting the word out on the much-talked-about Gotham, which takes a look at the early years of many Batman characters.
The network screened the pilot last week for TV critics and writers in New York and Los Angeles, with stars, including Ben McKenzie and Donal Logue, and producers split between the two cities. Shooting begins in New York in early July and the show will get a Monday time slot in the fall.
Gotham takes a noir-ish look at the pre-Batman era and features comic book characters from DC Entertainment. The Mentalist's Bruno Heller wrote the pilot and CSI's Danny Cannon directed it.
At the Los Angeles screening, Logue praised the show's production design, which mixes visual styles and items from different eras. "The look is pretty incredible," he says. "I love the anachronism. Is it the Fifties, the Seventies or is there a futuristic, Blade Runner-esque, early 21st Century vibe to it?"
The first episode details the murder of the parents of young Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz), the eventual Caped Crusader, and a subsequent investigation by a rookie police detective, the tough and earnest James Gordon (McKenzie), and his savvy but rule-bending partner, Harvey Bullock (Logue).
Gordon will influence Bruce, McKenzie said at the New York event. The youngster is "the prince that holds the fate of the world in his hands. That's a terrible power to give to a 12-year-old," he said.
Jada Pinkett Smith plays a nightclub-owning crime boss, Fish Mooney, and the show features characters who will become The Penguin, Catwoman and Poison Ivy.
Logue is a fan of comic books and the DC brand, in particular.
"I always felt like comics were very cinematic. They were storyboarding with dialogue," he said. "And I always liked DC, because I felt like it has its place in the American literary pantheon: post-war, industrialization, urbanization, malaise."
The rich DC canon provides great storytelling opportunity, McKenzie said. "We have access to the entire DC roster, so we can go down any alley."

Installing Fonts on KDE
A well chosen font is the perfect addition to your
Linux experience. KDE provides a number of tools
that help you cook up a really tasty alphabet soup
with very little effort.
Gone are the days when you
needed a degree in computer
science to install new fonts in
Linux. In fact, installing fonts in Linux
became child's play when KDE went to
version 3.
To install fonts in KDE, simply pop up
a Konqueror window by pressing
[Alt]+[F2] and typing konqueror, then
type the fonts:/ URL in the location box.
Now copy the fonts from any folder to
your Personal directory to make them
available to programs (see Figure 1).
There is no need to relaunch the GUI or
KDE. As an alternative, you can right
click and use the context menu to save
launching a second Konqueror window.

President Bush went young and conservative with Judge John G. Roberts Jr., nominating a man for the Supreme Court vacancy that might tilt the court to the right. With Republicans controlling the White House and the Senate, the President sought to reward his conservative supporters with a Supreme Court nominee positioned well to the right of center. The only question is how far to the right will he go?
"With some nominees, you might have said: Well, there's a darn good shot that's going to be a consensus nominee. With others, you'd say: There's a darn good shot it's not going to be a consensus nominee. He's in the middle," Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said of Roberts.
Democrats acknowledged privately that Roberts' thin record does not lend itself easily to attack, though they are troubled particularly about his views on abortion. There will be a fight, they predicted, and rightly so. Many key abortion decisions, if not Roe v. Wade itself, hang on just one vote and oftentimes that vote was from Sandra Day O'Connor.
Most notably, and probably the biggest baggage that nominee Roberts will carry with him into the hearings is the amicus brief he went out of his way to file on behalf of Operation Rescue, an organization in which many of its members and/or sympathizers have the stated goals of: breaking the law with violence (including blowing up abortion clinics), killing and intimidating doctors who perform abortions, and intimidating women and blocking their access to the clinics that provide abortions. Such activities border on domestic terrorism and their activities should not have been supported by this candidate.
Instead, Roberts filed an amicus curiae brief in the case on Operation Rescue's behalf. At the Supreme Court level, that case was called Bray v. Alexandria Women's Health Clinic (it was NOW v. Operation Rescue at the trial and appellate levels). The brief argued that the protesters' behavior did not:
discriminate against women; and
that blockades and clinic protests were protected speech under the First Amendment.
The case helped push congressional passage of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.
The questions linger: why would one go out of their way to write a legal brief, thereby providing aid and comfort to an organization bordering on domestic terrorist? If Roe was settled law in his mind (as he stated previously to the Senate), why is he helping extremists block abortion clinics from citizens looking for health care in a lawful and peaceful manner?
Considerably ironic, on the same week Eric Robert Rudolph, the right-wing, anti-choice killer is sentenced to life in prison, his apparent ideological twin is named as a Supreme Court nominee by President Bush. Only careful scrutiny will reveal whether Roberts will protect the right to choose, but looking at his obvious associations with radical, violent, anti-choice groups it appears that this is not the case.
Those who know John G. Roberts, Jr. say deep in his heart, he DOES want to overturn Roe v. Wade. For a jurist with almost no record and a known history of backing anti-abortion terror groups, an assurance may not be enough. Senators need to delve deeply into this man's personality and character. The hearings and process should be lengthy and not hurried, as some out of the mainstream politicians have suggested. Since Sandra Day O'Connor has pledged to remain on the Court until her successor is confirmed, there is no reason to rush such an important vote with such longstanding implications.
Democrats need to assure themselves that this man will preserve Roe before they allow him to proceed. Moderate Republicans like Specter, Snowe, Chafee, and the like need to consider carefully the implications of their vote, if it is found that Roberts is a radical, activist, anti-choice character. If this is the case, Republican moderates need to stand up and show backbone by rejecting a nominee who will cause a change in the court and the law that a massive majority of Americans do not support. It is not simply enough to defer to the President in his decision. The Senate is co-equal in the decision and if Roberts is not the man for the job, Republicans, as well as Democrats, have the obligation to the American people to send this nominee back and ask President Bush to nominate someone more in the mainstream.

You've heard the term 'true submissive?" (HUGE squick factor here btw. I HATE that term!) Some people claim that you can only be submissive if you it is in your blood, who you were born to be....BULL!!!!!
I do believe, though, that there is a Dominant or submissive trait in all of us. Some have one or the other and some have a little bit of both.
Some things you can teach: properly wielding a flogger or cane, for example.
Some things can't be taught: how to Dominate someone. (There can be a fine line between domineering and Dominating though)
He just may not be able to Dominate the two of you. The chemistry may not be right for that to happen.
There are some people who can only submit to a certain type of person, to a certain gender, etc.
I can only submit for certain things...I will gladly submit my body for a flogging as long as the person I'm submitting to has my trust. Getting to me to submit as, say, a house maid????? Forget it! Ain't gonna happen!
Maybe he's a Top as opposed to Dominant. He can play with someone till the cows come home but is just totally unable to Dominate someone for what ever reason.

Welcome to Android Central! Assuming you're using Google Calendar on your Droid Mini (or the stock Calendar, which I think is very similar to Google Calendar), review this thread: Fire HD Calendar App syncs with Google Calendar!

The Courtyard Salon
If it weren't for the bright sign out front, it would be easy to mistake The Courtyard Salon for a woodland cottage or a scene from a commercial where everyone has a happier camping trip thanks to insect repellent. The cozy salon is tucked away in a lush garden, with leafy trees, fragrant flowers, and rustic patio furniture. And the charm doesn't stop at the door. Sunlight trickles in through soft curtains and casts a warm glow on dark hardwood floors, golden walls, and comfy red armchairs. Instead of the princesses and singing bunnies you might expect from such a fairy-tale scene, the salon buzzes with a staff of skilled stylists, nail technicians, and spa specialists. They perform a sweeping array of beauty services, including haircuts, meticulous mani-pedis, and tension-blasting massages, all with the help of advanced skin and hair-care products from top purveyors like Pureology, Kendra, and Onesta.

I was charged much higher due to my online booking. The tour was supposed to be operated by an englich speaking guide. But the guide conducted the tour in Portugese. Although the guide was very helpful and tried to tell me about some of the landmarks in English, I felt cheated as they promised the tour will be in English during my booking.

We'll just get this out of the way first: if you don't know who LaMarcus Tinker is, we feel bad for you, because it means that you missed out on not only the perfection that was "Friday Night Lights," but also a whole lot of "Cougar Town" laughs.
EOnline reports that Tinker has snagged a coveted role on "Glee" as the new boyfriend of Mercedes (Amber Riley). There are some conflicting reports as to whether his name is Marcus or Bubba — we've got our fingers crossed for Marcus, because Bubba is just… too much.
[EDIT: Fox confirms that it is, indeed, Marcus. Phew.]
While we're super excited to see Tinker at McKinley High, we're also still a little sad about the circumstances that have left Mercedes without a certain trouty-mouthed secret boyfriend. Sam Evans, you will be missed.
It also makes us curious as to how the winner of "The Glee Project" will fit into the McKinley mix, as executive producer Ryan Murphy told reporters this spring that while taping the show and viewing auditions for potential additions to the "Glee" cast, he often thought, "How will that guy be with Amber?"

From Sam Harris, Evangelizing Advocate of Scientific Atheism, Some Welcome Common Sense
It's a pleasure to be able to commend something written by evangelizing atheist Sam Harris as highly as I would his essay "Why Don't I Criticize Israel?"
Why do I bring it up here? The last we heard from Harris, he had contributed one of the chapters, "Science Must Destroy Religion," in a book full of atheist diatribes being taught as the sole text in a course at Ball State University. That was while physicist Eric Hedin was being silenced on the same campus for putting some information about intelligent design in a bibliography for a class he was teaching.
The essay about Israel is worth reading not only because it's carefully and powerfully argued but because Harris had to write it at all. (Actually it's the edited transcript of a podcast.) His bottom line is not much different from a point many sensible people have made, including our friends Michael Medved and George Gilder: If Israel today put down its arms, the country's Palestinian Muslim neighbors who support Hamas would immediately seek to commit genocide against Israel's Jewish citizens. So says the Hamas charter. If the Palestinians put down their arms, Israel would immediately seek to do business with them, forming a relationship like America has with Canada and Mexico.
Turn your neighbors into corpses or turn them into trading partners. That's the yawning moral difference between the ultimate goals of Hamas and the ultimate hopes of Israel.
In a sane world this would be blindingly obvious. As Ann Gauger observes in her current cover article for us, there are some things that really shouldn't need to be said. This is one. Harris's article merits attention because he feels that in his community of aggressive materialists and atheists, the obvious isn't obvious at all.
He writes that he's often asked why he doesn't firmly condemn Israel and Judaism. "Now," says Harris, "this is an incredibly boring and depressing question for a variety of reasons." Judging from the essay, which includes frequent added statements in square brackets trying to reassure his followers and further clarify his views, defending Israel's right to defend herself is an inflammatory stand in his community. Indeed fellow New Atheist PZ Myers goes after Sam Harris here, while Jerry Coyne largely agrees with Harris. It may or may not be relevant that Coyne and Harris are both Jewish by birth.
Coyne observes, "If there are two hot-button topics in the liberal atheist community, they would be Sam Harris and Israel. For reasons I have yet to fathom, Sam evokes an extraordinary amount of rancor among atheists." The pro-Israel essay "will surely provoke outrage."
So in the New Atheist community, common sense provokes "rancor." Check. On Israel it illicits particular outrage. Interesting.
Last week, with due acknowledgements to Dennis Prager, I posed a question to Coyne (no reply) that I would put to Harris or PZ Myers as well. Thought experiment: You're transported back in time to Poland seventy year ago where you are a Jew on the run from the Nazis. In a Warsaw street, two doors lie ahead of you. You have just enough time to knock on one, seeking aid, as the scuff of pursuing boots draws closer. One door belongs to a Catholic priest or nun. The other to a biologist -- better yet, an atheist evolutionary biologist. On whose door do you knock?
You've got 5 seconds to decide. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Go.
I can't picture our publishing an essay like Harris's, needing to publish it, at ENV partly because we try to stay on the topic of science and the culture of science rather than venturing into Middle Eastern affairs. (Though see the excellent commentary of our colleague Bruce Chapman, Discovery Institute's Chairman of the Board, at Discovery News.) But also partly because sympathy for Israel would not, I think, provoke controversy among ID advocates. In general, ID accommodates common sense remarkably well.
The theory of intelligent design is a theory about cosmic and biological origins, and that's all. Yet every community organized around an idea has a culture that includes much else not directly following from that idea. The culture of scientific atheism is conflicted at best over whether to sympathize with a Muslim terrorist movement devoted to murdering every man, woman and child in Israel. That is noteworthy.
You could reformulate the aforementioned thought experiment accordingly. Say you're a Jew today in a European city, on the run from an anti-Semitic mob that is marching to support Hamas. Two doors lie ahead of you. Seeking safety, you can knock on one and only one. One belongs to a biologist inclined to doubt Darwinism in favor of intelligent design. The other to a New Atheist acolyte and Darwin supremacist.
Which door do you choose? You have 5 seconds to decide. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Go.

Better keep your plasticky case on the phone, or the glass may break.
The Apple iPhone 4 is the next-generation iPhone which releases June 24th 2010. The major upgrades from the iPhone 3GS are the changed form factor (thinner design), 4x higher resolution, front facing camera for video chat, and upgraded camera system with 5MP photos, and HD recording. Apple touts the largest upgrade with the new video chat features, however there are currently severe limitations to the service that they are calling "FaceTime". Most notably, video chat only works between iPhone 4 devices, and it requires a WiFi connection. Its new processor is an ARM Cortex A8 (ARMv7 ISA) that was developed by Intrinsity and Samsung in 2009, and is either known as the Samsung S5PC110 "Hummingbird" or the Apple A4 (the only difference being the integrated PowerVR hardware graphics accelerator by Imagination Technologies). This line of processors is used in the Apple iPad, Samsung Galaxy S series phones, and Samsung Galaxy Tab.
Other upgrades place the iPhone 4 among the best in class in the smartphone category. The display is the highest resolution available on any smartphone (as of June 2010), it is one of the only phones that can do HD video recording of 720p at 30FPS, and the added gyrosensor gives the software total awareness of the phone's spatial orientation. Among all of these improvements Apple has also been able to reduce the size of the phone compared to the 3GS and increase the battery life by 40%.foloo.
Better keep your plasticky case on the phone, or the glass may break.
I agree, it seemed like the first "serious" iPhone. Then came the antenna design flaw... sure, you can buy a case for it, but it's having a pretty junky reputation now. Apple's rumored "software fix" can of course not change anything with the 20dB signal drop when you touch it, it will only change the way Rx signal strength is mapped to the "bars", so users will think everything is ok. You can't fix the changed capacitance of an antenna by software. If Apple were honest they'd admit that they produced some junk there, but in fact, they touted it as a new and ingenious design.
With the dual-core Snapdragon at 1.2GHz and Google's "Gingerbread" Android release, both due out for the holiday season this year, the iPhone 4 will be hopelessly outdated already just 4 months after its release. Watch out for T-Mobile's "Project Emerald", which will likely bring us these goodies in a handset by HTC.
But we all knew Apple was only going to catch up anyway, so this shouldn't come as the big surprise.
At least in the U.S., if you're Apple wary or if you know you're going to jailbreak, the HTC Evo is a much better choice. And it has flash. That said, the iPhone 4 is the first iPhone I would seriously consider buying. Their marketing is genius, I have to keep convincing myself I don't need Apple products. However, with screen, form factor, and video chat I'd say this phone is a serious contender for the uber-nerd uber-power-user types.
Well, Omar.... doing something illegal to my phone just to make it competitive isn't really my thing. Of course it's ludicrous that Apple deems it illegal (and DMCA changes still pending, too, I guess), but it does void your warranty. And, you'll only get updates at the speed of the hacking community, as they have to re-break every new update from Apple. All that sounds like a hassle to me, and I do like my frequent OS updates.
Instead of jailbreaking your iPhone, you could also install Android on it, as I'm sure you're aware. But that also sounds like trouble to me as it's also unofficial, and you're again making yourself dependent on the hacking community. Would that also be illegal? I don't know, but how we've come to know Apple and their "core values", our guess should be yes.
But why buy the iPhone just for the hardware? The hardware itself is really nothing that great, and it was never intended to be. The initial iPhone back in 2007 came out to change the focus to software. It didn't have 3G, it couldn't do Bluetooth music streaming, it had a lackluster camera, etc etc.
Though we do have nicely updated hardware now, the iPhone is certainly not a stellar device in terms of hardware (though it looks great). Among the many Android phones, it is possible for you to find the "perfect" combination of hardware features according to your needs. Some people like the physical keyboards, others would love to have HDMI output, or need WiMax uplink speed, still others prefer a trendy square flip phone, a backflip keyboard, or 8MP+ cameras. The list goes on.
The iPhone 4 hardware is good, but it's over-priced ($1000 for an unlocked phone?), offers no choice, and would "force" you to do something illegal.
I agree with the statement, "Meeting the bar, not exceeding it.", but this is not an actual con. It's more of a conclusion one could reach having read all the cons and it should not be listed.
Good writeup dom, and in general I do agree with you. Here's the thing - you can have the best of both worlds. You can have Apple's polished UI and overall great user experience along with Android's openness and freedom.
Jailbroken iPhone.
It's the best device by far. I can run any app over 3G (including Skype before the update). I can turn my iPhone into a wireless router. I can use Google Voice (if I was in the US). I can run apps in the background, multitasking, etc etc. Other than Flash, there's nothing an Android phone can do that a jailbroken iPhone can't.
And it's so damn easy! Jailbreaking an iPhone is probably the easiest hack I've ever done. Ever. Literally takes 10 seconds to do.
And I have no fear that iOS 4 will get hacked in due time. People actually sell apps in the "alternative" app store, which means there is serious money at stake, which means there is major financial incentive to hack open all of the iOS versions, which means it will get done sooner rather than later.
Interestingly enough, I was running multitasking on my iPhone and turned it off. The hit to performance and battery life just wasn't worth it - at all.
Nice catching up, Apple - looks like the first serious iPhone to me. Android is still better, of course, especially with the 2x-5x performance improvement in v2.2 Froyo and the excellent cloud integration with Google services. But it's also the freedom and democracy of Android as a community-powered platform.
In the past, it's been Microsoft that pissed off everyone else by abusing their market power to push their own agenda. Now, Apple is in that position in the smartphone market, far exceeding Microsoft's evil. They think they can close out their rivals from iAd or make life unnecessarily painful for developers that also target rival platforms, or shut out Adobe's Flash from the iPhone just because that code isn't under their control. At the same time, the iPhone wouldn't be nearly as good without all of the free apps and stuff that Google and others are providing for it (just think you only had MobileMe...). They benefit from many others' openness, but treat them like dirt in response.
Apple is growing like a cancer. They're already the biggest tech company, bigger than Intel, Microsoft, IBM, HP, Nokia, RIM, TI, Qualcomm, you name it. As far as the device is concerned, I give it the pros and cons it deserves, of course. But unless their rotten leadership takes a hike they're not getting a cent from me. Petty control freaks!
Great write up, looking forward to the future of the iphone because they have a lot of catching up to do already in my eyes. Another thing is that the iPhone is a 'craze' and trends come and go and new products take over. The iPhone has been around for quite a while and I think for the future they're going to have to use really sick marketing strategies such as connecting the iPhone to every electrical device possible, such as TV's. Android does have a really big community advantage and that's something that's definitely missing over at apple, plus the fact that if you want to take control of your phone you have to jailbreak it, which everyone is not going to do.

This Thursday, November 17 marks Guinness World Records Day, a rather daring celebration enjoyed globally by more than 200,000 people who enjoy the weird and the wonderful. Reebok has teamed with 3D street artists, 3D Joe and Max, to attempt to create the world's largest and longest piece of 3D street artwork ever. The artwork provides a true representation of the Reebok CrossFit brand – a fun, bold, 3D fitness environment that encourages people to work-out and try out functional Reebok CrossFit movements. It certainly will be a sight to behold once completed. Check out the beginning stages of the world record attempt above.
