Publishers WeeklyAccording to Alcorn (The Treasure Principle; Deadline; Safely Home), the subject of heaven rates as one of the least accurately discussed subjects in the whole of Christendom. Even seminarians fail to give appropriate time and attention to heaven as described throughout the Bible because other themes take pre-eminence both chronologically and preferentially. Alcorn is likewise astounded that the majority of Christians who do take time to consider heaven often possess faulty, nonbiblical assumptions, one of the most common being the misconception of heaven as a place of unending church services. The author, who is also the founder of the nonprofit organization Eternal Perspective Ministries (EPM), has spent years studying what the Bible says about heaven, and in this compelling and comprehensive resource, he offers every conceivable question about heaven, or the "New Earth," as a Christian believer's ultimate destination. Alcorn answers the expected queries on heavenly life as well as quirkier ones: will Christians drink coffee in heaven? Will there be homeownership, and what about sex? Will our pets be in heaven? Evangelical scholars and laypersons alike will appreciate Alcorn's expansive-though perhaps long-winded-musings on this neglected subject, a real boon in a time when many people are eager to understand what happens after death. (Oct.) Forecast: Tyndale is committing $80,000 to promote this title, which will certainly be a CBA bestseller and perhaps a crossover hit. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

Editorial Reviews
Library JournalThe last decade saw a growing number of "life after life"-themed books entering the marketplace, each trying to provide a glimpse into the next world. This one is destined to hold a unique place among those titles. Drawing on sound biblical and historical fact, noted Christian writer and speaker Alcorn tries to correct some of the popular myths generated by the mass media. Part 1 is certainly the more substantive section, for here the author skillfully establishes complex theological foundations in accessible language with wonderfully illustrative stories. Part 2 may be more interesting as it addresses such popular questions as what the resurrected Earth will be like, what our bodies will look like, what will happen to our pets, and what will occupy our time in heaven. However, the book is most effective when read consecutively, for the theological background in Part 1 is essential to understanding Alcorn's conclusions in Part 2. Although Alcorn is writing for popular consumption, the detailed notes and select bibliography will satisfy more scholarly interests. Recommended for larger public libraries.-John-Leonard Berg, Univ. of Wisconsin Lib., Platteville Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

Heaven based on 0 ratings. 127 reviews.
I grew up in a minister's family and heard references to Heaven on a regular basis, but it was always talked about as a place we couldn't understand. I was one of those Christians who was always a little worried that Heaven, aside from being present with my Lord, wouldn't be all that much fun. This book completely changed the way I think about Heaven and the New Earth! Now I search the Bible for the clues that lead us to the truth about the incredible experiences God has designed for us to explore. Contrary to the popular, but incorrect assumptions about Heaven, Randy Alcorn points out the Scriptures that God has given to us to help us look forward to going to the Place God has prepared for us. Randy also makes it very clear that there is a very real place prepared for those who reject Christ's gift of Salvation, who believe that 'being good' is enough to get to Heaven, or that everyone ends up in the same place when they die. I pray that everyone who reads this book will accept the wonderful gift that has been offered to us and will look forward to spending an eternity in God's presence and the Place He has prepared.
My brother was just tragically killed in a car accident. My grief was so great and I asked God to please lead me to something that would tell me what my brother was doing in Heaven. He led me to Randy Alcorn's book. I've been a christian all my life and I was never taught about Heaven. We hear mostly about the last days and present christian living but little about our life to come. After reading this book I look at the future and smile....we truly have the hope of glory. This is a MUST Read for everyone next to the Bible.
Believe it or not, the Christian Heaven has received a bad rap. (Randy capitalizes the word because it's a real place.) Too many people believe Heaven will be boring. We'll strum harps and lounge about on clouds with nothing to do. Others think we'll float bodiless in a formless, timeless void, stripped of all our personality. Heaven is pictured as such an alien country that it repels, not attracts. After all the struggles in this life, this is all we have to look forward to? I had misgivings about a book titled _Heaven._ In my studies, the kingdom of Heaven will take place on earth. The Millennial Reign of Christ takes place on earth. The saints will rule on earth. The Lamb's throne will be on earth. Even the Heavenly City, the New Jerusalem, comes down from Heaven. Thankfully, I wasn't disappointed. Randy shows how Heaven will be only a temporary abode, that this world, with all its familiarity, will indeed be our future home (did not God look at His creation and say it was 'very good'?). Randy addresses many popular questions about Heaven with answers that were more satisfactorily answered here than I've seen elsewhere. Where Scripture does not plainly state an answer, Randy still manages to tease out clues from the Word and common experiences to convince us that whatever the final answer is, Heaven will be extremely satisfying. Will our pets be in Heaven? How about dinosaurs? (Why not dinosaurs?) Will we still eat and sleep? Will we enjoy arts, entertainment, and sports? Will we be married? What will happen with the relationships we've developed? These questions and more are covered extensively in the second half of the book. Noteworthy to me, because of my studies on living with the end in view, is Randy's observation that stepping from this life into the next is like stepping though a door. We will retain our personalities and abilities gained in this life. If we died faithful, we will enter faithful. If we buried our talent here, it will be absent there. Finally, Randy traces our muddled, metaphysical concepts of Heaven back to several Church Fathers who thought the physical body was evil. From them we learned to allegorize the many physical descriptions of Heaven. This corruption of the plain biblical text robbed us of genuinely looking forward to the next life. If Heaven is near the bottom of your list of places you'd like to see, you should get this book. If Heaven has always summoned a sense of unease or confusion, this book is for you. This book may well be the single most life-changing book you'll ever read.
This book took me 6 months to read because I wanted to take my time and check out the scriptures and contemplate on what I read. It answered some questions I've had and raised a few others. Alcorn himself says that he is not the final word, but I was encouraged to think for myself and then trust God to give me wisdom and faith for the forever future!
This is an exciting decription of Heaven as prepared for believers by God. With the Scripture references to back everything up, the author paints a picture very different from what the average person imagines. Highly recommended!!
wonderful book. will make you think and give you great peace.
Have you ever wondered what Heaven will be like? Have you wondered about walking with Jesus, worshiping God, and visiting with earthly loved ones? You need to get this book! This book is scripturally based, inspiring, hope-filling and jaw dropping. This book will make you look forward to your future home, and realize what The Lord has in store for his children. You wouldn't take a trip without planning would you? So you need to check out what your eternal home is going to be like! This explains what we will eat, what our bodies will be like, what our relationships will be like, and how we will work and play throughout eternity. Remember - eternity is a very long time and you definitely need to know not only where you are going, but what will happen when you get there. Alcorn is an awesome Christian author, check out his fictional books as well!
Heaven was referred to me by a friend who was grieving the loss of her husband and receiving grief counseling from the Pastor and Care Ministry of our church. The Pastor suggested she read Heaven; and she started talking about it with such enthusiasm that I wanted to know more. I don't read much, so I bought the CD. 15 minutes into it, I was hooked. The author uses Biblical reference to help answer a lot of questions we have about Heaven; and he vividly describes "the New Earth" that Christians look forward to.
Anyone who wants to know what Heaven will be like should not walk but run to the nearest book store (or internet site) and purchase this book. Alcorn's thought-provoking and informative book is scriptually-based and a blessing. It has changed (and opened) my perspective of the New Earth that awaits all who have placed their lives in the Savior's Hands. I can't wait!
I found this book very informative, but also easy to read and understand. This book I think is helpful to someone with lots of questions about Heaven, and can still also answers questions for someone who knows much about the subject, it's that thorough.
I found that "Heaven" was about the greatest book I have ever read. Its filled with information about Heaven I never knew existed. I wish everyone will get a chance to read it. And it is for EVERYONE :)
I never knew that the Bible had so much to say about Heaven. This book will really help you to live with an eternal perspective. It is like a travel guide for Heaven. This book will also be a great comfort to those who have lost a brother or sister in Christ. It helps you understand where they are. It is exciting to think of the actual place that they are dwelling and will dwell.
This wonderful book dispels any myths about heaven by constantly referring to scripture to back up his definition. I was amazed at how many things about heaven weren't biblical and how many things were.
This book will give you perspective on eternity. So many of us have been led to believe that heaven is beyond our imagination, and it is not. Randy has wonderfully compiled what God reveals to us in the bible regarding eternity. Randy's insight and observations make this an enjoyable and inspiring read.
It was hard to put this book down. His research adds validity to this book. Highly recommend anyone with questions about Heaven to read for a great insight.
The book opens one thoughts and ideas of our future home of heaven and what it will be like there and all that it encompasses.
One day, while in a resale shop, a book fell off the shelf right in front of me. It was Randy Alcorn's book on Heaven for KIDS. I bought it,and brought it to work the next day to share with my Bible Study class. ( This class is for Residents who live in a Retirement home. (age 80-90's). This was the first time we had actually 'asked/discussed' questions about Heaven. One Resident had read R. Alcorns book on Heaven, and we decided to all purchase a copy for ourselves. We are now on Chapter 8. The book is absolutely wonderful...although quite hard to understand at times. One person is uncomfortable discussing Heaven. Several are a bit lost with his 'heavy' content. Several are really enjoying the book and determined to finish it. I find it very deep at times as well, but have learned alot. All of our minds are now thinking differently about our purpose on this Earth and are stretching to become better in our everyday lives. NONE of us thought so much about those on Earth being ignorant of Heaven, but those in Heaven are NOT ignorant of life on Earth. So much to learn. God Bless !! Peace
For anyone who is interested in knowing what God has to say, in His Word, the Bible, about heaven, this is the book to read. Everything is scripurally verified and presented in a way that totally clarifies many of the misconcestions that this world has created about heaven. A great book that could be used as a study guide as well as a book that enhances what the Bible already has told us about heaven.
This book gives a new prospective on Heaven. Yet it is a view many Christians have held over the centuries. It reminds us of things we have forgotten. It shows us thinks we thought we knew in a new light. It looks at Biblical truth and adds a scanctified imagination. If only a portion of his ideas are right, heaven surpasses our wildest imaginations! Read this book!
Everything in this book is backed up by scriptural truths. If you want to read a book about Heaven do not waste your time on other books. This is the one to read. They also have a study guide that is available and a DVD, I believe to use for small study groups of this book. I was very sceptical at first, I browsed through the chapter titles and thought, there is no where in the bible that will answer these questions. As you read the book you find that Randy Alcorn has completed intense research to respond to all of the questions biblically. I will probably buy several copies of this book to share with friends.
Very biblically based. Easy to read and understand.
I had heard a lot about this book, and was hoping it would teach me more about what the Bible says about heaven. Randy Alcorn began the book by stating some of the things many believe about heaven and hell. Then, he explains that heaven and hell are real, physical places, and that they are our eternal destinations, and that the default for all of us, until we come to faith in Christ, is hell. Which is all scripturally based. Then, he begins to introduce other ideas. Revelation 21:1-3 says that there is a new heaven, and a new earth, and the new Jerusalem comes down out of heaven. Alcorn, however, states that heaven is actually where God is, and that the new earth will be the new heaven (p. 45 of the hardcover). While John calls this the new heaven and new earth (again, Rev. 21:1-3), Alcorn states that it is actually the old earth, restored. While John called it a new earth, it's not really a new earth at all. 'So will the earth we know come to an end? Yes. To a final end? No.' (p. 90-91 hardcover). This is also in contrast to 2 Peter 3:10, But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up. The elements will be destroyed, but somehow, they will be then renewed. While I don't argue with God's ability to do this, it isn't a biblical idea. Just an imaginative one. On p. 103 of the hardcover, he states, As God and man will be forever united in Jesus, so Heaven and Earth will for-ever be united in the new physical universe where we will live as resurrected beings. To affirm anything less is to understate the redemptive work of Christ.' So if you don't believe that the new heaven and the new earth are one, you are understating the redemptive work of Christ! It would be challenging to prove that from scripture. This type of thinking is the foundation for the book. It really isn't a biblical perspective on heaven. In fact, most of it relates not to heaven, but to his vision of the new earth, which is in his mind, is also the new heaven. Initially, I had hoped to write up my problems with the book, but by page 130 of the book, I had 11 pages of notes. If the book was biblically based, that shouldn't happen. If you buy this book, look up the verses referenced, and others. Look at the verses, separate from the book. Ask God if they really mean what Randy believes they mean. Study of the Bible should help us better understand God and truth, it shouldn't lead to mere conjecture. And this book is based significantly on conjecture.
His research is outstanding on what heaven is like. Every Christian will benefit from this book.

Multiplayer Masterpiece 10/27/2011
This review is from: Battlefield 3 Limited Edition Xbox 360 Game
Game looks stunning. the sound in this game has no equal and sounds fantastic on my 5.1 Multiplayer is well balanced. the boards are huge yet doesnt take that long to get to front. if you crave vehicles in your fps this is game for you. And theres nothing more satisying than poping out fro window taking out said vehicle. teamwork is must in this game which i love.
so-so campaign, few server issues at launch but seems to be ironed out now.
Other Thoughts:
i got $47 dollar pre-order, but is still a great buy at full price.

Marouane Fellaini makes his sixth appearance this season in our TOTW, after his long-range effort earned Everton a 1-1 draw against Arsenal on Wednesday evening.
Leighton Baines and Steven Pienaar - once again influential down the left-hand flank for David Moyes' side - complete the Toffees trio in this week's XI.
Defensive duo Rafael and Jonny Evans both star as Manchester United maintained their grip on top spot with a 1-0 win against West Ham, with Robin van Persie just missing the cut following his early opener at Old Trafford.
Tottenham's Gareth Bale features despite his own goal in the 2-1 victory over Liverpool. The Welsh wizard teed up Aaron Lennon to open the scoring before wrong-footing Pepe Reina with a free kick to double his side's lead at White Hart Lane.
Swansea duo Pablo Hernandez and Wayne Routledge both make the cut after Michael Laudrup's men recorded an impressive 3-1 win over in-form West Brom, while Brad Guzan and Christian Benteke are included after Aston Villa earned a priceless three points at home to Reading.
Completing our XI is Southampton's Luke Shaw, who helped Nigel Adkins' men to a 1-1 draw at home to fellow Premier League new boys Norwich City.
Theo Walcott, Mario Balotelli and Michu are all unfortunate to miss out after finding the back of the net in Wednesday's fixtures, with Adam Lallana and Brett Holman also failing to make the cut.

What is wrong with my set up?
I need some help from more experimented people.
I bought a SB-600 flash this afternoon because I need to do some product pictures for a personal project.
This is my first flash unit so I am really a noob.
I am also a total beginner at product photography and softbox things.
My setup is as follow:
Fuji X100
Nikon SB-600
Nikon SC28 cord
two soft boxes
a kind of small table with a white semi-transparent white plexi plastic
I Have put the table with the white support at about 30 cm from the ground, which is made of brown wood.
The flash is set in manual mode at 1/64 (as I understood..this is the smallest power - I can get) and is just put on the wood ground under the table.
The fuji is set at Iso640 / F8 / 1/125
White balance set with a grey card
Here is the pictures I get as a result:
Here is the picture I get after 30 sec editing...but which I wish to get directly without tweaking:
Could someone help me and tel me his guess why I get a redish picture instead of white?

Children's Playhouses
Your children will love these wooden outdoor playhouses that are designed and manufactured to very high standards. Children's garden playhouses provide hours of entertainment and parents can rest assured that they are fully compliant with safety regulations. Some have a mezzanine level reached by a ladder while others boast a verandah that mimics a real house, these are substantial structures built from quality materials with windows glazed with child safe acrylic. Particularly useful during school holidays, playhouses offer a place where children can play games and interact socially rather than watching TV, and that has to be good news.

Finally Getting "Syked" about Diversity in Late Night TV
Late night network talk shows are about to get the correction of all correction. Fox booted Mad TV and has now signed the Saturday night 11:00 EST slot to The Wanda Sykes Show. Provocative, acerbic, and unabashedly liberal, Wanda promises a show that will focus on ripping up and riffing on the news and pop culture trends of the week with monologues, taped pieces and a panel discussion with guests. Finally, Saturday night may once again showcase television to talk about.
The test show offered an incredibly funny and a fast-paced hour. I wouldn't rush home from a party to catch it, but I'd pause watching a recorded show to catch it live, because I'm betting The Wanda Sykes show will prompt a Twitter #sykes tag that will be cool to play with. I certainly wouldn't have flipped the channel midway through for Saturday Night Live--the shows will overlap by a half-hour. A variety of set-ups keep it moving. The Wanda Sykes Show reminds me most of Bill Maher's construct, but decidedly more appealing and relaxed. The panel rolls like a late night conversation with different types of people in an airport bar or at a comedy club after the show is over--and in fact, Wanda graciously has a swank bar onstage in case her guests want a cocktail. Wanda nurses a vodka.
Fox's choice is an exciting break to the monotony of current late night talk shows where hosts represent wide range of white dudes: from greyish-white Bill Maher, to pinkish Conan, to ruddy Letterman, to white white Leno. Same white smarmy, smug humor, too. Wanda's notably the first chick late-night network host since Joan Rivers. NBC has inexplicably dominated Saturday night with Saturday Night Live which continually marginalizes female cast members. Wanda is also an out lesbian mama who talks openly about her wife and six-month-old twins. In most ways on television, Sykes stands alone.
Starr Rhett thinks The Wanda Show will score. She blogged at BET.com: "We definitely need more people like Wanda Sykes. She's relatable to everyone despite her sexuality. I think her show will do well. I'm particularly feeling the round table format. Plus, I'm still holding on to hope that someone will fill the late night talk show void that Arsenio Hall left wide open. At least now I'm grown and won't have to sneak to watch it."
Like the comic equivalent of a rock anthem for individuality, Wanda apologetically proclaimed "I'ma Be Me" in the title of her recent HBO comedy special. One of the most exciting things about watching her new show is that Wanda is at a fascinating time in her life and career. At 45, she's a role model for midlife women coming into their own, with her personal life and biggest career successes (including roles on The New Adventures of Old Christine and Curb Your Enthusiasm) hitting a huge stride in the last few years. Television viewers are used to seeing her play "the friend," albeit the friend who will tell you the horrid truth while swearing and shaking her head. Her perspective is both daring and completely no-nonsense average, which creates a dynamic tension that many find engaging. Of course, it also makes her completely unbearable to others. But I'm not worried about those viewers, as they don't lack for other options.
Ma'at, who blogs at Confessions of a Young Black Woman, wants to hang at Wanda's table. "I'm watching her latest HBO special, and she's still funny as hell. I love the fact that she is shamelessly open about who she is. I love that she's not ashamed of her wife and kids. Plus, she looks DAMNED good."
Black Queer Radical blog highlighed Wanda's recent Jay Leno appearance where she talked about legalizing marijuana. Wanda's take:
That's nuts. I'm against it. You ever know a pot smoker that keeps a to-do list? You're not going to improve the economy or productivity. If Schwarzenegger wants to spark productivity and make some money, cocaine baby. You'll have people working 48 hour shifts. It will be good for the environment - people will be running to work.
Give her a few weeks to settle in to her new loft and the show will sail. SNL must be oblivious or not worried, though, as their choice of Taylor Swift as host against The Wanda Sykes premiere is absolutely puzzling. Maybe the writers and producers want to be free to catch Wanda's show too?
Contributing editor Deb Rox has her own bar at Deb on the Rocks. She also tweets about many things, including television (while trying to avoid spoilers for her West Coast friends, really, she tries).

I. J. Bienayme Statistical Theory Anticipated. (Studies in the History of Mathematics and Physical Sciences)
From the reviews:
"This monumental work will henceforth be the standard interpretation of ancient mathematical astronomy. It is easy to point out its many virtues: comprehensiveness and common sense are two of the most important. Neugebauer has studied profoundly every relevant text in Akkadian, Egyptian, Greek, and Latin, no matter how fragmentary; [...] With the combination of mathematical rigor and a sober sense of the true nature of the evidence, he has penetrated the astronomical and the historical significance of his material. [...] His work has been and will remain the most admired model for those working with mathematical and astronomical texts.
D. Pingree in Bibliotheca Orientalis, 1977
"... a work that is a landmark, not only for the history of science, but for the history of scholarship. HAMA [History of Ancient Mathematical Astronomy] places the history of ancient Astronomy on a entirely new foundation. We shall not soon see its equal.
N.M. Swerdlow in Historia Mathematica, 1979

First Amendment protects government worker's truthful testimony about public corruption, SCOTUS says
Posted Jun 19, 2014 05:02 pm CDT
A public employee who provides truthful testimony about misuse of state funds pursuant to a subpoena is protected by the First Amendment, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled.
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously (PDF) on the First Amendment issue for Edward Lane, director of an Alabama program for troubled youth. Because Lane's testimony about a fired employee was not part of his ordinary job duties, he was speaking as a citizen on a matter of public concern and he was protected by the First Amendment, the court said.
Lane had fired a state representative on the payroll who appeared to be doing no work, though Lane was warned by his superiors that firing the lawmaker could result in serious repercussions. Lane testified about the firing before a grand jury and at trial. Lane was himself fired after the lawmaker's conviction, and he sued for alleged retaliation.
The Whistleblowers Protection Blog called the ruling in Lane v. Franks "a landmark whistleblower decision."
It was not a total victory for Lane, however. The Supreme Court found that qualified immunity protected Lane's former supervisor, who was sued for damages in his individual capacity, because the First Amendment right was not clearly established by court precedent at the time. Lane's claim for equitable relief against another official was remanded.
The bulk of Justice Sonia Sotomayor's opinion for the court concerned the First Amendment issue. "The mere fact that a citizen's speech concerns information acquired by virtue of his public employment does not transform that speech into employee—rather than citizen—speech," she said.
A contrary ruling, Sotomayor said, "would place public employees who witness corruption in an impossible position, torn between the obligation to testify truthfully and the desire to avoid retaliation and keep their jobs."
Sotomayor distinguished the 2006 U.S. Supreme Court case Garcetti v. Cabellas, which found no First Amendment protection for an internal memorandum written by a prosecutor. In that case, the court said the memo was part of the prosecutor's ordinary job responsibilities and constituted unprotected employee speech.
Justice Clarence Thomas concurred in an opinion joined by Justices Antonin Scalia and Samuel A. Alito Jr. Thomas stressed that the court opinion did not address situations in which public employees such as police officers and lab technicians testify as part of their regular jobs.

Public Service Announcement filmed in Village
LAGUNA WOODS – Larry Strauss has been trying to raise awareness about Parkinson's disease since he received his diagnosis 10 years ago. Now his efforts have begun to pay off.
A series of public service announcements (PSAs) sponsored by the American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) and featuring co-producer Strauss and several Village residents, is set to launch nationwide in May.
"It's just a miracle," Strauss, a veteran actor and member of the Old Pros theatre group, said. "I finally have people who have the ability to make it work."
Directed and co-produced by local filmmaker Autumn McAlpin, the 15-, 30- and 60-second television and radio spots were filmed and recorded at a private residence in Laguna Woods Village last month. Filming also took place at Marymount College in Palos Verdes the same weekend.
Old Pros members Brett and Victoria Halsey, John Perak and Sheila Bialka were among the 21 cast members.
Strauss, who is president of the Parkinson's Can-Do Club, said he hopes the PSAs will highlight activities Parkinson's patients can do, rather than those they can't. The segments show patients engaging in dance, Tai Chi and yoga.
"Nobody can tell us that we can't do it," Strauss said.
Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder of the central nervous system affecting more than 1.5 million people in the United States. Until now, Strauss had hit a roadblock in his attempts to bring information and support for people with the disease, mainly because so many diseases are competing for fundraising, he said.
"What winds up happening is the biggest diseases get the play and the smaller are left to fend for themselves," Strauss said.
Enter McAlpin, whom Strauss met while she was filming an independent film in the Village last year. "I learned to really respect her. She's a sparkplug." When he discovered McAlpin also is a victim of a neurological disease, the wheels started to turn.
Strauss told McAlpin he had industry contacts to help get the PSAs made, but he didn't have the physical ability to do it. "She said, 'Guess what? I do.' "
Next, he rounded up some local talent and contacted the APDA, which, coincidentally, was launching a new public awareness campaign.
"I think the main challenge is that people don't understand the prevalence of Parkinson's disease," said Stephanie Paul, vice president of development and marketing for the APDA. She noted there are 164 new diagnoses each day.
"We're focusing on people right now living with the disease and how we can make their lives better," Paul explained. She estimated upwards of 200 people in Laguna Woods Village have been diagnosed with Parkinson's.
McAlpin, who was diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, which affects the peripheral nerves, said making the PSAs has opened her eyes to disability issues. "I thought this would be an interesting way to tell a story about how those with disabilities live, and some of the challenges that everybody with a disability faces."
She and Strauss agreed producing the spots was hard work, but loads of fun.
Said Strauss, "How can something not be fun when this has been a dream for years to get it done? Sometimes it takes a village to make things work. And Laguna Woods Village is just that example."

All folders should have pretty names right after creation, just like Inbox and Trash.

Bug 467528 is about offline IMAP only, this one is valid for pop3/local folders and has nothing to do (afaik) with connection state.
(In reply to comment #2)
Additionally 467528 affects also inbox and trash, this one not.

> this one is valid for pop3/local folders
To Stefan Plewako(bug opener):
How did you create the folders?
Created "Drafts", "Junk", "Sent", and "Templates" manually with specifying folder name of non-localized version(==same as folder file name)?
Or, Tb created these folders upon your action such as "Save As Draft"?
(In reply to comment #4)
> Or, Tb created these folders upon your action such as "Save As Draft"?
After enabling junk filtering in account prefs, saving mail as draft or template and sending message.
All folders created by tb after above actions.
Same phenomenon was observed with Japanese Tb 184.108.40.206 on MS Win-XP SP3, with newly defined POP3 account(Drafts/Junk/Sent/Templates are not created upon account definition since a Tb version), and with manual creation of mail folder named "Drafts", "Junk", "Sent", "Templates" at the POP3 account.
"Localized name" was not displayed until restart of Tb.
Adding "Local mail folder" in bug summary, in order to isolate this bug from Bug 467528 on localized name of IMAP mail folder.
To David Bienvenu:
Similar regression to Bug 450754/Bug 467528 on "localized local mail folder name" by Bug 413721?
WADA, please do not test this in Thunderbird 18.104.22.168, as this is not really helpful anymore. Please only test this on the Thunderbird 3 beta 1 release candidates that Stephan is using.
it may be a similar regression, but the cause must be completely different, since bug 450754's cause was imap-only.
With bug 450754/bug 467528 fixed nightly I'm not sure if this bug is affecting local accounts only. (don't have good imap repro steps yet)
Stefan: but you still see it on trunk?

OK, affecting also IMAP, repro steps:
1. Create fresh profile
2. Choose "Gmail IMAP" in account wizard and configure it
3. Connect to server to download folder list (important)
4. Enable junk filtering for gmail account (with defaults selected)
4.a "Junk" folder should be created immediately
5. Restart Thunderbird
5.a "Junk" folder name will be replaced with localized one
Hah, very similar bug 273422 found - reported for 1.0rc, different locales (de, sv-SE) and global inbox only.
This blocks a credible l10n release. Setting an arbitrary milestone. b2 won't happen if no one jumps in.
+ Archives folder (per bug 473529#c8)
Joey, do you have any time to look at this?
*** Bug 478621 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Assigning to jminta for now, as per IM discussion.
Just for fun I looked into this a little. The issues are not in the js, but buried in the C++ folder code. folderPane.js is just using "this._folder.abbreviatedName" which should simply work, but doesn't.
The initial folder name is set by calls to nsMsgDBFolder::parseURI, which simply uses the tail of the folder URL to get the name - which is not localized. Once set though, the folder name is then cached and not recalculated in the current session. Somehow we need to call SetPrettyName which is where the localization occurs.
There are a variety of ways the problem might be solved, and I am still investigating the best approach. But in theory this is not a difficult problem to solve.
I spoke too soon about the "not difficult" thing. Tracing out in some detail the issues with localizing the Sent folder, a problem is that the folder is initially created and displayed without getting the SentMail folder flag set. At least on local folders, that does not appear to get set until restart. The normal routine that adds localization, SetPrettyName, will only localize if the flag is set.
I know in at least some places in the UI (IIRC for junk) TB will set the folder flags correctly based on how the folder is actually used, for example where the account manager says certain classes of messages are supposed to go. But at least for local folders, on restart it will stupidly set the folder flag on any folder that matches the default name ("Sent" or "Junk") and then also rename to the localized name.
So clearly the easy solution to this will be to follow the lead of LocalFolders, and localize the name in the folder pane (or perhaps in nsMsgDBFolder::GetAbbreviatedName) for any folder that matches the default name for a special folder. This will mean that someone using a non-English locale would be unable to have a folder named "Sent" - it would get automatically displayed in translation. But I think that is already how at least Local Folders behave.
If that is acceptable, I could provide the patch to do this. I need at least prior blessing from clarkbw as the "user experience" czar before I will proceed any further. The alternative, which is a much bigger project, is to try to make sure that all folder flags are set correctly based on the actual folder usage, then make sure that the localization works correctly based on the folder flags.

When IMAP folder, and when different folder is selected at Copies&Folders, any special folder is changed back to ordinal folder, although restart is needed due to this bug.
I've understood why special icon is always set for "local, root level, Sent/Drafts/Templates" and no option to delete is provided.

Don't know about the solution, but ^^^ is how it's designed - the default special folders always internally have the English names, i think. That way someone can switch between localizations and still get get nice behavior.
I don't think we'd hold b3 for this; moving out.
Created attachment 391649 [details] [diff] [review]
fix archives and drafts/sent/templates/outbox/junk
this seems a lot safer to me - just set the flags when we create the folders so that the pretty name stuff will work.
Bug 497288 is for icon of special folders.
Comment on attachment 391649 [details] [diff] [review]
fix archives and drafts/sent/templates/outbox/junk
I've just been trying this and it is a lot better. Local Folders works fine with it.
There still seems to be an incorrect case for IMAP (with + without the patch). With a fresh profile, I created an IMAP account linking to one of my existing IMAP servers/logins and connected to it straight away. The drafts, archives etc folder names weren't localised.
I tried this with and without the patch. The noticeable difference was that with the patch the folders got the special icons straight away, whereas without the patch they didn't - so I think we're heading in the right direction.

Bug 508026 spun-off for remaining issue. That'll probably end up blocking as well, but it's good to have very specific bugs...
Mossop points out that this makes the add fcc to replied message's folder feature add the sent flag to that folder. So I need to tweak this to make sure we're using the identity's fcc folder before setting the flag.

this fixes the fcc to reply case. I'd like to get this in soon to avoid nightly users getting too many folders with the sent flag set.
We should really figure out a way of cleaning up these flags when set incorrectly...

David, do you mean that Junk case is not resolved by patch for this bug?
If so, could you please describe about resolved cases and not-resolved cases by patch for this bug, to avoid confusion.
The archive and junk cases are handled in their own specific ways, in different places in the code. The drafts/sent/templates are handled in the same way in the same piece of code. The Junk code looks right to me, but if you say it's not working, then I'll try it in a separate bug.
(In reply to comment #38)
> but if you say it's not working, then I'll try it in a separate bug.
It's not me. Opener of Bug 513433 said "it's not working with nightly on which patch for this bug is already landed" in comment #34. (See Bug 513433 Comment #5 please).
So I asked you about Junk in Comment #37. Sorry but I didn't execute test with localized build or with lang-pack.

Carianne Moore
From accessories to clothing, it's only a short step
From accessories to clothing, it's only a short step. Yet, relying on the recent months' success of her elaborate hats, precious clutches and ethnic-style bracelets, Carianne Moore has decided to launch her own clothing line.
Together with inseparable fiancé Mike Harding, with whom she has shared also her past projects, Carianne has designed a range of outfits for Fall/Winter 2011.
Very classic-looking and refined, without renouncing the unique touch that is the brand's signature. On the contrary, the collection seems like the ideal way to top off the accessories line.
Lots of black, masculine studded punk-style pants, classic blazers and maxi dresses, are the perfect items to be paired with an eccentric peacock feathered colorful headpiece.
Showing that love and business may coexist perfectly and also give great results.

Voiceover: Sometimes it's not until retirement that people face up to their embarrassing bodies. David's been suffering in silence about a very personal problem that has always dogged his sex life.
David: When I've had sexual relations, I've had to fiddle about and bring it back into place afterwards which is embarrassing and inconvenient.
Dr Pixie: Nice to meet you David. Why have you come to the clinic today?
David: Well, I've had a bit of concern about the way my foreskin works. When it gets pushed down it doesn't come back again.
Dr Pixie: Do you recall any problem with your foreskin when you were younger or in your teens?
David: In my teens there was one occasion when the foreskin was pushed down and it stayed down. The skin in that area swelled up and I went to accident and emergency and they basically just pulled the foreskin back and it all settled down.
Voiceover: David suffers from a common condition called Phimosis where the foreskin cannot be fully retracted.
Dr Pixie: Now, do you just want to gently try to retract that for me? And that's when it starts to get…
David: And then it stays there and it doesn't go back.
Dr Pixie: And that's the difficult bit, right. God it's quite a task isn't it?
David: Yeah, it is, yeah.
Dr Pixie: It's quite common to have a foreskin that's difficult to get back and the only real way we're going to resolve this issue is by actually using a urologist with a view of having something like a circumcision. Is that all right with you?
David: That's fine.
Dr Pixie: Brilliant, well let's get that sorted.
Voiceover: Dr Pixie has arranged for David to be examined by consultant Mr Manu Nair. So what are David's options?
Mr Nair: It is difficult to bring back, it is difficult to pull through. There is, like I said, a constriction zone. The simplest surgery would be preputioplasty which is making an incision lengthwise instead of the other way to loosen the skin. The other procedure you could have is a circumcision where you just take the whole foreskin away.
Voiceover: Earlier David came to see Dr Pixie with a rather embarrassing foreskin problem. He's opted for an operation called preputioplasty which involves slitting the foreskin to widen it rather than removing it altogether with a circumcision. His consultant Mr Nair detaches the frenulum, a small fold of tissue that restricts the foreskin and then he loosens the restrictive belt by making an incision.
Mr Nair: I've cut it lengthwise, but you can see the way the nature of the tightness has extended the skin, which is what my objective was.
Voiceover: All that's needed is a few stitches to secure David's larger foreskin.
Mr Nair: All done. Thanks.
Voiceover: After a few weeks of healing time there is no reason why he can't enjoy a full sex life.
Dr Pixie meets a patient who has suffered for many years with a common condition called phimosis, where the foreskin of the penis cannot easily be retracted. Treatment is administered by simple surgery and there are a number of options available such as circumcision, where the foreskin is entirely removed, or preputioplasty, which involves a small incision to the foreskin so that it can be loosened.
If your child has a painful penis he may be suffering from paraphimosis, to find out more check the condition guide for parents on Embarrassing Bodies: Kids website.

I was circumcised as a baby. But now, out of no where, my foreskin has sort of come back! It started a few weeks ago when i noticed it the first time and now its like all the time. Wierding me out. Is this Normal? Ive never had it even do it once before in my whole life. Im 30 now. What is happening?
I'm 16 and had the same problem, however over the last few months I've almost managed to fix it. Every day ( when showering on morning and before I go to bed) I pulled the foreskin back until it became uncomfortable and held it for about 20-30secs, then repeat this for about 5-10 mins. Overtime the foreskin stretches and you can pull it back further and further. Before I couldn't even retract it when flaccid, but now I can fully retract it when flaccid and almost fully when erect. Hope this helps
I've been doing something similar and it's working a treat so far
I have a small cut on the end of my forskin, and does not want to heal.can you advise me as to how long it will take to heal.its been like this for 2 weeks now.once I become erect its sore and when I masterbate the foreskin gets thicker and swollen too
I am 16 i can get my penis erect but I can't pull the foreskin over my head of my penis or when i try it starts to hurt so i stop how can i get it over the head .
I can pull my foreskin back over the head when I'm erected but no further any tips
My foreskin is tight I can't even pull it back half way I've been trying to stretch it but I'm scared to rip it I've had sex it didn't bother me but I need help pulling it back I refuse to get circumcized
i have just turned 16 and imam having problems retracting my foreskin it isnt uncomfortable and it works fine but i cant pull it all the way over the head and i dont know what i should do
I am 30 years old, I am not a virgin. I have had many different partners without a condom. My foreskin is very tight and has a Lil white spot where my foreskin tore the last dozen times. What's going on?
I'm 16 now and this is emareasing lol but my foreskin it tight I can pull it down but not all the way is result of this I can't clean behind it I don't won't circumstising I'm wondering if there is anything I can buy or do to help solve this thanks
I've just turned 16 and have had a problem with my foreskin for a while. I've not been able to pull it back for as long as I remember, its very tight around the head and does not even come down half way. I do recall, but not 100% certain having to go to the doctors/hospital when i was a small child for a problem relating to my foreskin but not sure what it was for. Never pulled it back since. Also, this is hard to describe, but the thought of something, even a hand or clothing rubbing against the head kind of goes through me and i'm just really confused about it all. Advice?

Tyler Hansbrough is the best player in the country.
North Carolina will waltz to the national championship, maybe even go undefeated.
Stephen Curry has a chance to turn Davidson into the next George Mason.
There is nothing like the preseason for blanket statements and bold predictions.
There is nothing like the actual season to turn those statements into mush.
But as college basketball rockets into its moment in the sun, one preseason presumption remains alive: The Big East is the best league in the country. With three No. 1 seeds and seven bids overall, the league was clearly the apple of the selection committee's eye.
The Big Ten and ACC might have matched the Big East team for team, but they couldn't match the seeding.
If you average the seeding for each conference's seven teams, the Big East wins by a mile -- maybe a trite endeavor but it gets the point across. The Big Ten is right between a 7 and 8 seed (7.4) and the ACC is just closing in on a 5 (5.1).
The Big East comes in at a solid 3.
Now for the catch
Prove it.
"When you're on top or the best, everybody wants to see you fail," Villanova coach Jay Wright said. "People will be looking to see when we lose, where we lose. We know it's out there so we might as well get ready for it."
Eyeing the Big East's progress -- and waiting to pounce on its failure -- will be as much a sport in this NCAA tournament as trying to pick the Cinderellas.
For the Big East, the top-heavy bids come with equally burdensome expectations. Anything less than four or five teams in the Sweet 16 will be a disaster, a Final Four without Big East representation a travesty.
And don't even think about a first-round upset.
But the Big East will not only be judged on how it performs against itself. How it performs compared to the other leagues will be equally dissected.
Coaches from the Big East and ACC have spent an entire regular season in a mine-is-better battle, with Mike Krzyzewski banging the drum loudest for his league. On his radio show and in postgame press conferences, the Duke coach has repeatedly stumped for the ACC, arguing that it was better, pound for pound, than the Big East.
On April 6, not only will a national champion be crowned, but the ultimate conference will also be decided, based on which league sent the most teams the furthest.
"I'm sure that CBS and a lot of other people will be tracking how we do," commissioner Mike Tranghese said. "There is definitely going to be a pressure to perform."
Critics will argue that the league already failed to deliver on its preseason hype. Scanning the room at Big East Media Day in October and considering the talent and experience of the rosters, it was easy to make a case for as many as 10 teams to make the tournament and impossible not to imagine at least nine.
In October, no one envisioned Notre Dame crumbling through a seven-game skid and falling to 8-10 in the league, nor did anyone expect Georgetown, after its 12-3 start, to spiral to a 16-13 finish.
Providence, the wild card, finished as a classic bubble team. The Friars beat who they were supposed to beat and lost games they needed to win in order to distinguish themselves. Unable to get past Louisville in the quarterfinals of the Big East tournament, Providence's fate was sealed when the upset winners started snatching up bids from the other conferences.
It all added up to the ultimate irony: The Big East actually got more bids last year, sending eight teams on the road to San Antonio.
Jim Calhoun has a simple explanation for what happened this year: mathematics.
Still irritable after his team's six-overtime loss to Syracuse, Calhoun went on an impassioned, unprompted riff about the strength of the Big East. The Connecticut coach was miffed, ticked at people for questioning the league's worth because it might get only seven bids out of 16 teams.
"Someone's got to lose," he said. "Mathematically it's impossible if you play all the right teams to have a good record. We're 15-3, but everybody is supposed to be 15-3. That can't happen. One team will win and one team will lose. Georgetown got caught in the washer and the rinse cycle and the same thing happened to Notre Dame. They played five straight top-20 teams. Try that on for size. The idea this is not a great, maybe the greatest conference for one year, is ludicrous."
In his defense of the league, Calhoun also exposed the Big East's biggest fault.
It was a good year to be a great team. Great teams were rewarded with lofty seeds -- "I think the seeds are well deserved," Louisville coach Rick Pitino said. "There are a lot of NBA prospects on these teams."
It wasn't a good year to be average, though. To be average meant you dropped to the middle of the Big East pack. To be average meant you struggled to get quality wins, walloped instead with quality losses.
To be average meant you were eaten up by your own conference.
"I think in some instances the size of this league worked against some of our teams," Tranghese said. "But that's the price you pay for all of this. That's the price you pay for the benefits of being in this league."
The question for the seven teams representing the league now is will they be exhausted or invigorated for having survived the 16-team brutality? There's no denying that as disappointed as they were to lose, neither Connecticut nor Pittsburgh was upset with the prospect of a few extra days' rest.
Most coaches, though, don't ascribe to the notion that their teams will be too worn out from the regular season to survive the postseason. Flipping it around, some even find a benefit to the gargantuan league.
"You play so many unique styles that I don't think it hurts you," Marquette coach Buzz Williams said. "And it's not just games, it's the practices. Think about how many practices you get preparing for all of these unique styles. There really isn't much we're going to see in the NCAA tournament that we haven't already seen in the Big East."
There is no arguing that what the Big East did in this regular season is downright astonishing. At one point, nine member schools were in the Top 25. In the last week of the regular season, the Big East accounted for the No. 1 and No. 3 teams in the nation and neither of those teams (Connecticut and Pittsburgh) even won the regular-season title.
That honor went to Louisville, which became the third Big East team to ascend to the top of the rankings after it won the conference tournament and overall No. 1 seed.
And as of lunchtime Thursday, it's all ancient history.
"This isn't football," Tranghese said. "We have this event and ultimately that's what you're judged on. It's how you do in the end."

Jan. 23, 1997: A Super Bowl I insider: Ah, those were the days
New Orleans -- Imagine traveling to the Super Bowl on the Green Bay Packers' charter. Imagine talking to Mike Holmgren and his coaching staff over drinks in his Fairmont Hotel suite and interviewing his players in their rooms.
Thirty years ago, I was allowed these privileges while covering Vince Lombardi's Packers in Super Bowl I for the Milwaukee Sentinel. Things were different in 1967.
It wasn't that Lombardi had any compassion for newspaper guys. It was just the way things were done as the Packers prepared to face what's-their-names from the new league at the Los Angeles Coliseum.
Because Lombardi had chosen to take his team as far away from Los Angeles as possible -- Santa Barbara, 90 miles up the coast was picked -- I asked permission to go with the team. The Sentinel would pay my share of the flight from Green Bay to California.
Lombardi said he wanted to think about it. After several days of waiting, he told me, "OK, you can come with us, on one condition."
"What's that?" I asked.
"No interviews during the flight," he replied. "I don't want any of my players disturbed."
And he meant it. He would leave his first-class section and patrol the length of the plane to make sure his order stuck.
About an hour from Santa Barbara, there was a loud scream from the back of the plane where a group of players, in stocking feet, had been playing cards. Somebody had accidentally stepped on Elijah Pitts' foot.
Somebody named Susan Lombardi, the coach's daughter.
"For the love of Pete," Lombardi yelled at Susan. "You're injuring my players. Get back where you belong."
As Lombardi passed my nearby seat, he gave me a hard look as if saying, "If you write one word about this, you're dead." I knew well enough not to challenge the man.
Every afternoon around 5 p.m. at the Santa Barbara Inn -- an ocean-front resort he called "too beautiful" to train a team -- Lombardi would invite reporters into his suite, a tradition he carried on throughout his career with the Packers.
Of course, everything you heard and saw at the 5 O'Clock Club was off the record.
Here was the greatest football coach in the world reading the Los Angeles Times, watching some television and asking Tom Miller, his right-hand man, to bring him another scotch.
Someone changed the TV channel while Lombardi was reading the paper and when he noticed, he bellowed, "Who turned off my program?" He had been watching a Tom and Jerry cartoon.
Genius at work.
Lombardi was in rare form. Worried that his mighty Packers were too concerned with the beauty of Santa Barbara, he ordered the Green Bay offense to run all plays away from the view of the nearby mountain range.
Lombardi told reporters that week that he had never seen an American Football League game, in person or on television.
"Come on, Vince, even Pete Rozelle has seen at least one AFL game," someone said.
"Maybe Pete has more time than I do," Lombardi answered.
Instead of hype, the game offered fear and sweeping curiosity. "My God," the NFL people said, "what if we lose?"
The first Super Bowl got huge television coverage, perhaps because it was a CBS-NBC playoff as well. One of the terms of the merger of the leagues was that CBS, which carried the NFL games, and NBC, which showed the AFL, both got to carry this one.
One day an NBC promotion director asked Chuck Lane, the Packers' publicity director, if he would mind asking Lombardi and some of his star players to pose on a trampoline in front of the hotel. Lane said, "Yes, I would mind asking Coach Lombardi if he would mind doing that."
Ah, them were the days.

text: What Movies Can Men And Women See Together?Irin Carmon1/22/10 6:30pmFiled to: film schooledMovies men and women watchwomen in HollywoodChickFlicksAvatar143EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink An op-ed in today's Wall Street Journal bemoans the niche-ification of movies along gender lines, but the author thinks The Blind Side and Avatar buck this trend. Assuming he's right, what will get men and women to the movies together? Advertisement Let's put aside for a moment the fact that author Eric Felten is reductive and condescending about what women want to see (rather than what's produced for us), or that he devotes plenty of ink to sneering at chick flicks but not their testosterone-aimed converse. Well, let's dwell on it for just a moment.Part of the proliferation of chick flicks grows out of the book-club phenomenon. Book clubs have primarily been a distaff concern and, naturally, the bulk of Oprah-sanctioned reads have been for the double-X set. (My wife once made the mistake of asking me to suggest something amusing for a book club; heedless of the most basic gender differences in literary tastes, I recommended "A Confederacy of Dunces," a comic romp that appeals to women about as much as the Three Stooges do. In short, they hated it.) Clubbable books sell well and many get made into movies. In turn, the ladies of the clubs go out to see the adaptations of the books they've read.Oh, those ladies, with their girlish tastes! You can't account for their brand of middlebrow mush. Advertisement In any case, Felten's point is that whereas "old movies" like Casablanca "seamlessly combined male and female sensibilities in our segmented entertainment age," it's hard to find a movie that appeals to everyone.In how many households is it common for the husband to be downstairs watching Daniel Craig dispatch bad guys while his wife is upstairs with Renée Zellweger?... Here's hoping for a few more films that provide a mashup of elements that appeal to both men and women. After all, I wouldn't mind going to the movies every now and then with my wife.If we're relying on anecdotal evidence, as Felten largely is, I'd agree that cross-family crowd-pleasers are tough to come by, though I'd disagree with how he's drawn the gender lines. My immediate family often goes to the movies together over holidays, and finding something everyone wants to see is a challenge. But that's because when it comes to entertainment, my father — a tough, intellectual heavyweight in daily life — favors sappy romantic comedies and action flicks, neither of which interest my mother much. Over Christmas, that was him sighing loudly and checking his watch through Avatar, and giving It's Complicated high marks. Meanwhile, the rest of us mostly favor the pointy-headed and foreign stuff, more or less indifferent to gender. (That's movies we'll pay to see in the theater. Television viewing is a whole other story.)We compromise on legal and political thrillers — when they're good. But the list of films that we've all enjoyed is short. Thank You For Smoking and Charlie Wilson's War. Certain Steven Soderbergh movies. We had high hopes for Duplicity pleasing everyone, but not so much. Oh, for the days of Coming To America (oh, and um, Casablanca). Taking suggestions for the Netflix queue. Sponsored Movies From Mars, From Venus and From Pandora [WSJ]Reply143 repliesLeave a reply

The Social Contingency of Wants
ABSTRACT. Economic models typically assume that individual wants are determined by forces exogenous to the economic system. Social psychology and consumer research, in contrast, support the view that the perceived benefits of goods and services are strongly affected by endogenously determined social norms. We present a selective overview of the literature on the relationship between consumption and well-being, exploring the ways in which informal arguments from social science might be linked to formal models of economic behavior. We find that the 'fixed preferences" hypothesis leads to the systematic undervaluation of environmental services and the underprovisioning of environmental goods.

well as topics) in the search engine for 2008 is still not working.
This is "iris-Photos Search" which I am speaking of.
All the other years are working fine.
Am I doing something wrong?

Subject: [iris-photos] V-Hort search for iris-photos 2008 currently not
I'm wondering if anyone else is having problems getting the V-Hort
Search to bring up iris photos for 2008.
The other previous years seem to be working fine, but I can't seem to
bring up anything for 2008.
Any answers?
