Description: This utility knife is a perfect choice for detail tasks. It is a good middle ground between a slicing knife and a paring knife and is a good choice when slicing tomatoes or chopping garlic. The slender blade combines control and precision.
The beauty of the SLD line by Yoshikane is matched only by its performance. Each knife is meticulously hand forged by Mr. Tsuneo Yoshida and his two nephews to create a lasting work of functional art. These knives have quickly become a favorite at Epicurean Edge -- both for their feel and balance, as well as exceptional edge holding and performance.
The two tone blade is produced by two different etching processes creating a dramatic high contrast between the Kiriba (blade bevel) and the flat of the blade. This creates a smooth surface for the blade to slide through material and a subtly uneven surface to help release foods being sliced. The blades are comprised of a hard inner SLD stainless steel core clad in stainless steel damascus (suminagashi). Because SLD is a relatively low chromium stainless steel, we recommend drying the knife after use. The mesmerizing suminagashi pattern flows freely on both sections further enhancing the unique styling of this line.
The hand forged blade features a rounded Mune (spine) and choil for secure, comfortable grip. The handles are made from enju wood with ferrules of black buffalo horn. The ambidextrous handles are octagonal at the top and rounded at the base, resulting in a comfortable, elegant shape that is pleasing to the eye and hand.

Jason casually walks to the front door of his good friend A.J to see what he is doing. A.J. answers the door in a manor signifying to Jason that he is completely hammered off his ass. Jason asks "A.J. what are you doing and where are your pants?" A.J. replies in a extremely drunken manor "makin me a chicken." Jason then replies with disappointment "do less."

A phrase used directed towards a person who doesn't do hardly anything. It is directed towards lazy people who don't do much at all, but still need to do less. It is very appropriate to remind him/her that she needs to do less.

This leaflet is for anyone who has been through a harrowing
experience, who has been abused or tortured, or who knows someone
to whom this has happened.
In our everyday lives, any of us can have an
experience that is overwhelming, frightening, and beyond our
control. We could find ourselves in a car crash, be the victim of
an assault, or see an accident. Police, fire brigade or
ambulance workers are more likely to have such experiences – they
often have to deal with horrifying scenes. Soldiers may be shot or
blown up, and see friends killed or injured.
Most people, in time, get over experiences
like this without needing help. In some people, though, traumatic
experiences set off a reaction that can last for many months or
years. This is called Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD for
People who have repeatedly experienced:
can have a similar set of reactions. This is
called 'complex PTSD' and is described later on in this
PTSD can start after any traumatic event. A
traumatic event is one where you see that you are in
danger, your life is threatened, or where you see other people
dying or being injured. Typical traumatic events would
Even hearing about the unexpected injury or
violent death of a family member or close friend can start
The symptoms of PTSD can start immediately or
after a delay of weeks or months, but usually within 6 months of
the traumatic event.
Many people feel grief-stricken, depressed,
anxious, guilty and angry after a traumatic experience. As well as
these understandable emotional reactions, there are three main
types of symptoms:
Flashbacks & nightmares
You find yourself re-living the event, again
and again. This can happen both as a 'flashback' in the day and as
nightmares when you are asleep. These can be so realistic that it
feels as though you are living through the experience all over
again. You see it in your mind, but may also feel the
emotions and physical sensations of what happened - fear, sweating,
smells, sounds, pain.
Ordinary things can trigger off flashbacks.
For instance, if you had a car crash in the rain, a rainy day might
start a flashback.
Avoidance & numbing
It can be just too upsetting to re-live your
experience over and over again. So you distract yourself. You
keep your mind busy by losing yourself in a hobby, working very
hard, or spending your time absorbed in crosswords or jigsaw
puzzles. You avoid places and people that remind you of the
trauma, and try not to talk about it.
You may deal with the pain of your feelings by
trying to feel nothing at all – by becoming emotionally numb. You
communicate less with other people who then find it hard to live or
work with you.
3. Being
'on guard'
You find that you stay alert all the time, as
if you are looking out for danger. You can't relax. This is called
'hypervigilance'. You feel anxious and find it hard to sleep.
Other people will notice that you are jumpy and irritable.
Other symptoms
They undermine our sense that life is fair,
that it is reasonably safe and that we are secure. A traumatic
experience makes it very clear that we can die at any time.
The symptoms of PTSD are part of a normal reaction to
narrowly-avoided death.
No. But nearly everyone will have the symptoms
of post-traumatic stress for the first month or so. This is because
they can help to keep you going, and help you to understand the
experience you have been through. This is an 'acute stress
reaction'. Over a few weeks, most people slowly come to
terms with what has happened, and their stress symptoms start to
Not everyone is so lucky. About 1
in 3 people will find that their symptoms just carry on and
that they can't come to terms with what has happened. It is as
though the process has got stuck. The symptoms of post-traumatic
stress, although normal in themselves, become a problem – or
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder – when they go on for too long.
The more disturbing the experience, the more
likely you are to develop PTSD. The most traumatic events:
If you continue to be exposed to stress
and uncertainty, this will make it difficult or impossible for your
PTSD symptoms to improve.
Everybody feels stressed from time to time.
Unfortunately, the word 'stress' is used to mean two rather
different things:
Unlike PTSD, these things are with us, day in
and day out. They are part of normal, everyday life, but can
produce anxiety, depression, tiredness, and headaches. They can
also make some physical problems worse, such as stomach ulcers and
skin problems. These are certainly troublesome, but they are not
the same as PTSD.
We don't know for certain. There are a several
possible explanations for why PTSD occurs.
But we don't want to spend the rest of our
life going over it. We only want to think about it when we have to
- if we find ourselves in a similar situation.
When you can:
Have you experienced a traumatic event of the
sort described at the start of this leaflet? If you have, do
If it is less than 6 weeks
since the traumatic event and these experiences are slowly
improving, they may be part of the normal process of
If it is more than 6 weeks
since the event, and these experiences don't seem to be getting
better, it is worth talking it over with your doctor.
PTSD can develop at any age. Younger
children may have upsetting dreams of the actual trauma, which then
change into nightmares of monsters. They often re-live the trauma
in their play. For example, a child involved in a serious road
traffic accident might re-enact the crash with toy cars, over and
over again.
They may lose interest in things they used to
enjoy. They may find it hard to believe that they will live long
enough to grow up.
They often complain of stomach aches and
Do ………
Don't ……..
You may find that other people
These are all ways in which other people
protect themselves from thinking about gruesome or horrifying
events. It won't help you because it doesn't give you the chance to
talk over what has happened to you. And it is hard to talk about
such things.
A traumatic event can put you into a
trance-like state which makes the situation seem unreal or
bewildering. It is harder to deal with if you can't remember what
happened, can't put it into words, or can't make sense of it.
Just as there are both psychological and
physical aspects to PTSD, so there are both psychological and
physical treatments for it.
All the effective psychotherapies for PTSD
focus on the traumatic experience – or experiences - rather than
your past life. You cannot change or forget what has happened. You
can learn to think differently about it, about the world, and about
your life.
You need to be able to remember what happened,
as fully as possible, without being overwhelmed by fear and
distress. These therapies help you to put your experiences into
words. By remembering the event, going over it and making sense of
it, your mind can do its normal job of storing the memories away,
and moving on to other things.
When you start to feel safer, and more in
control of your feelings, you won't need to avoid the memories as
much. You will be able to only think about them when you want to,
rather than having them burst into your mind out of the
All these treatments should all be given by
PTSD specialists. The sessions should be at least weekly, with the
same therapist, for 8-12 weeks. Although sessions will
usually last around an hour, they can sometimes last up to 90
Cognitive Behavioural
Therapy (CBT) is a talking treatment which
can help us to understand how 'habits of thinking' can make the
PTSD worse - or even cause it. CBT can help you change these
'extreme' ways of thinking, which can also help you to feel better
and to behave differently.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation &
This is a technique which uses eye movements
to help the brain to process flashbacks and to make sense of the
traumatic experience. It may sound odd, but it has been shown
to work.
Group therapy
This involves meeting with a group of other
people who have been through the same, or a similar traumatic
event. It can be easier to talk about what happened if you are with
other people who have been through a similar experience.
SSRI antidepressant tablets may help to reduce
the strength of PTSD symptoms and relieve any depression that is
also present. They will need to be prescribed by a doctor.
This type of medication should not make you
sleepy, although they all have some side-effects in some
people. They may also produce unpleasant symptoms if stopped
too quickly, so the dose should usually be reduced gradually. If
they are helpful, you should carry on taking them for around 12
months. Soon after starting an antidepressant, some people may find
that they feel more:
These feeling usually pass in a few days, but you
should see a doctor regularly.
If these don't work for you, tricyclic and MAOI antidepressants
may still be helpful. For further information, see our
leaflet on
Occasionally, if someone is so distressed that
they cannot sleep or think clearly, anxiety-reducing medication may
be necessary. These tablets should usually not be prescribed
for more than 10 days or so.
Body-focussed therapies
These don't help PTSD directly, but can help
to control your distress and hyperarousal, the feeling of
being 'on guard' all the time. These include physiotherapy and
osteopathy, but also complementary therapies such as massage,
acupuncture, reflexology, yoga, meditation and tai chi. They
can help you to develop ways of relaxing and managing
At present, there is evidence that EMDR,
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, behaviour therapy and
antidepressants are all effective. There is not enough information
for us to show that one of these treatments is better than another.
There is not yet any evidence that other forms of psychotherapy or
counselling are helpful for PTSD.
Guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care
Excellence (NICE) suggest that trauma-focussed psychological
therapies (CBT or EMDR) should be offered before medication,
wherever possible.
Do …….
Don't …….
This can start weeks or months after the
traumatic event, but may take years to be recognised.
Trauma affects a child's development - the
earlier the trauma, the more harm it does. Some children cope by
being defensive or aggressive. Others cut themselves off from what
is going on around them, and grow up with a sense of shame and
guilt rather than feeling confident and good about themselves.
Adults who have been abused or tortured over a
period of time develop a similar sense of separation from others,
and a lack of trust in the world and other people.
As well as many of the symptoms of PTSD
described above, you may find that you:
It is worse if:
Try to start doing the normal things of life
that have nothing to do with your past experiences of
trauma. This could include finding friends, getting a job,
doing regular exercise, learning relaxation techniques, developing
a hobby or having pets. This helps you slowly to trust the world
around you.
Lack of trust in other people – and the world
in general – is central to complex PTSD. Treatment often needs to
be longer to allow you to develop a secure relationship with a
therapist – to experience that it is possible to trust
someone in this world without being hurt or abused. The work will
often happen in 3 stages:
This may sometimes be the only help that is needed.
EMDR or Cognitive Behavioural
Therapy can help you to remember
your traumatic experiences with less distress and more control.
Other psychotherapies, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, can
also be helpful. Care needs to be taken in complex PTSD because
these treatments can make the situation worse if not used
You begin to develop a new life for
yourself. You become able to use your skills or learn new ones, and
to make satisfying relationships in the real world.
Medication can be used if you feel too
distressed or unsafe, or if psychotherapy is not possible. It can
include both antidepressants and antipsychotic medication – but not
usually tranquillisers or sleeping tablets.

Kinsler powers Rangers past Angels
Arlington, TX – Ian Kinsler clubbed a three-run home run and knocked in four runs overall to lead the Texas Rangers to a 7-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in the rubber match of a three-game set on Sunday at Rangers Ballpark.
Kinsler collected three hits and scored twice, while Lance Berkman belted a two-run homer and David Murphy added a solo shot to help the Rangers earn the series victory.
Yu Darvish (2-0), fresh off his near perfect game, allowed three runs on six hits and four walks over five frames before a blister on his pitching hand forced him out of the contest. The right-hander struck out six.
"I didn't have everything today. It wasn't my 100 percent, but I had to grind it out," Darvish said through his translator. "The reason I was able to do that was because of all the support from my teammates."
Mark Trumbo plated a pair, while former Ranger Josh Hamilton broke out of a 1- for-20 slump with three hits and a run scored for the Angels, who went just 1- for-10 with runners in scoring position.
Jered Weaver (0-1) was touched for five runs on seven hits and four walks in five-plus innings to absorb the loss. Weaver took the mound to start the sixth, but he injured his left arm as he tried to avoid a Mitch Moreland liner back up the middle and had to be replaced.
"It's pretty painful. It feels a little swollen in there," Weaver said. "I can't move it around too good right now. It's strange. Kind of like jamming your thumb."
Darvish came within an eyelash of throwing a perfect game on Tuesday in Houston, but Marwin Gonzalez spoiled his bid at history with a single back up the middle with two outs in the ninth.
The Japanese right-hander had significantly more trouble in Sunday's outing, as he walked Mike Trout to start the game, plunked Erick Aybar and then issued a four-pitch walk to Albert Pujols to load the bases with no outs.
Hamilton had a chance to due some early damage, but he grounded into a double play that scored Trout for a 1-0 lead. Trumbo then followed with a single to score Aybar before Darvish fanned Howie Kendrick to escape the inning.
Texas quickly answered in the bottom half, as Kinsler worked a leadoff walk, and after Elvis Andrus lined out, Berkman belted a curveball over the right- center field fence to knot the game at 2-2.
After Adrian Beltre popped out, Murphy launched a first-pitch fastball deep over the wall in right-center field to give the Rangers a 3-2 lead.
Texas added to its lead in the fourth when Geovany Soto stroked a one-out double and came around to score on Kinsler's two-out single.
LA answered in the top of the fifth, as Hamilton smacked a two-out single before Trumbo followed with a double to left to score Hamilton and bring the Angels within 4-3.
Moreland led off the sixth with a screaming line drive back up the middle that knocked Weaver to the ground. The ball missed the right-hander, but he appeared to twist his left arm as he braced his fall.
Mark Lowe replaced Weaver and uncorked a wild pitch, allowing Moreland to move to second. Moreland then found third on Soto's bunt before Leonys Martin worked a walk to put runners on the corners.
Kinsler provided the big blow of the inning, as he belted a 3-2 offering the opposite way into the right-field seats to extend Texas' lead to 7-3.
Texas' bullpen held the Angels down after Darvish departed to start the sixth, as Robbie Ross, Tanner Scheppers and Joe Nathan blanked the Halos over the final four frames to secure the victory.
Game Notes
Darvish struck out a career-high 14 batters over 111 pitches in his near perfect game on Tuesday ... LA left 10 men on base ... Texas went 2-for-6 with runners in scoring position and stranded five men on base.

In accordance with the strange Novell tradition, 188everything but the port is in hex. Not_Connected is displayed for sockets that 189are not tied to a specific remote address. The Tx and Rx queue sizes indicate 190the number of bytes pending for transmission and reception. The state 191indicates the state the socket is in and the uid is the owning uid of the 192socket. 193 194The /proc/net/ipx_interface file lists all IPX interfaces. For each interface 195it gives the network number, the node number, and indicates if the network is 196the primary network. It also indicates which device it is bound to (or 197Internal for internal networks) and the Frame Type if appropriate. Linux 198supports 802.3, 802.2, 802.2 SNAP and DIX (Blue Book) ethernet framing for 199IPX. 200 201The /proc/net/ipx_route table holds a list of IPX routes.

Asian Soul Food Fusion
We still have all those things (except our NBA team — the Memphis Grizzlies — has had some shining moments). But now we have so much more — bike lanes all over the city, three dog parks, a skateboard park, more farmers markets than I can count, a vegan restaurant, an organic and raw vegan juice bar, four places to get vegan cheese pizza, and a handful of enterprising young chefs willing to go the vegan mile. We have people like Kevin Sullivan and his vegan-friendly food business, Ki Kitchen.
"Ki" means "soul" in Japanese, so it's an appropriate name for Sullivan's unique style of cooking which blends Southern soul food with Asian cuisine. Sullivan works at Tsunami, a local seafood restaurant. But on the side, he creates to-go vegan dishes brimming with originality (and tastiness). Sullivan stopped by the Memphis Flyer office a few weeks ago to let us sample his goods.
My co-worker/Flyer food writer Hannah Sayle wrote about Sullivan and Ki Kitchen this week, so check out her story on how Sullivan went from a part-time high school bus boy to an awesome vegan-friendly chef. Sullivan isn't vegan, and not everything Ki Kitchen creates is meat-free. But many of his dishes are!
His Black-Eyed Pea Hummus is my personal Ki Kitchen favorite. It's creamy and hummus-y, but it has that Southern flair thanks to his use of black-eyed peas:
The sweet 'n' savory Tomato Jam is just amazing too. I've been enjoying this on bagels spread with Galaxy Chive & Garlic Vegan Cream Cheese:
Perhaps his most unique dish is the Collard Green Kimchi. Now, I love me some kimchi (when I can find a vegan version), but collards trump cabbage in my book every time. This tangy-sweet dish is loaded with tender leaves, carrots, onions, and a hint of ginger:
Sullivan also makes some scrumptious and tangy Chow Chow (that's relish for all you Yankees) for serving with your fried taters or hot dogs and such:
If you're lucky enough to live in this bordering-on-awesome city, you can order any of Sullivan's dishes for $4 to $5. Check out his Facebook page for a menu.

A Matter of Priority
Traditionally, a library has been seen as a central point for the storage of information in hard copy, where students and researchers, among others, go to find relevant information in their respective subjects. Since the dawning of the digital age, however, the importance of a library has been transformed in its utility and role due to the Internet and Internet products accessible to staff. In some institutions the library has simply become a place where archives are stored. In extreme cases, you will find books and old documents just lying there, gathering dust, while the library and information retrieval facility enjoys less and less priority. Although such cases of neglect are partly the fault of staff not willing to make a commitment, a whole institution gives rise to this situation through the allocation of inadequate space, funds and attention, especially if there are quicker ways of obtaining required information. Institutional staff members slowly build personal collections of relevant literature, stacked on pine and oak shelves in their offices, that further reduce the chances of their visiting the library. In addition, some individuals subscribe to online journals and document delivery systems that ensure they can spend eight hours a day in their offices with all needed information virtually at their fingertips.
In order for our center to transform to adapt and lead
again in information management and allocation within an
institution it must offer a service not accessible via the
Internet, be a leading agency in information management and
create awareness among students, visiting researchers and the
general public about environmental issues in
A Public Domain Information and Data Access Point
mission of the MET
the ideal scenario you would be consulting a resource center
wanting to find out what this minister or expert is
to say one year from now proactive participation
in policy creation, in what is being decided by the leaders of a
country. If you ask my opinion, such a service is exactly what a
ministerial resource center is there to provide. By using the
centers knowledge and the tools, you act like a spider,
creating a web with numerous links to different institutions
that handle the same or related topics and making it all connect
in the middle. The center point in this case is the MET
It is important to draw on resources from other information institutions (both nationally and internationally), from the media, from research stations and mining corporations countrywide, and from the Internet. It is also critical to have good relationships with various experts such as scientists and researchers as well as with leaders in government institutions and worldwide organizations. These sources and contacts will give you an edge in information provision and will keep researchers and policy-makers coming back to your institution for research. In the ideal situation you, as the ministerial information officer, will have an active hand in what is being decided at workshops, conferences and even by the Cabinet. Reliable information from different sources thrown together by a creative mind can develop a forecast for the future and allow policies to be shaped in the right direction. What is eventually written in books and made into law will be information coming out of your resource center, and people will keep coming back for more.
is not ambition; instead, it is the reality of the MET
Five Pillars of Excellence
In reviving the resource center, we have identified five pillars of excellence: amalgamation, communication, dependence, tangible results and networking.
The resource center is part of the Environmental Information
Systems (EIS) Unit of the MET, which functions as a national
environmental information hub by acquiring and processing
environmental data and disseminating the information products.
It is a collection of thousands of book, document and journal
titles in hard copy. At the moment the center consists of three
separate entities spread over three directorates between
Communication. In terms of interaction, a resource center functions much like a radio station, relaying and extending the information it receives from the experts to the public at large. It is a loudspeaker that receives knowledge from the source, and then broadcasts it out to the whole public. As a body the center is in constant contact with over 100 people and institutions nationally and internationally. Interaction with institutions and experts in various fields occurs on a daily basis via email, fax, phone or ordinary post in a mutual give-and-take scenario. Relevant information to our trade is then circulated throughout the ministry in the form of chain emails. Everyone is kept updated on the latest journal and book issues received, current affairs and even social events. Newsletters are circulated on a weekly basis, and a poll is held annually to enable MET employees to choose which journals and books the resource center should buy, thereby ensuring quality and reliability of resource materials as well as staff satisfaction. Communication between other subject-related resource centers around the country and abroad is vital and leads to networking and interlibrary loan agreements.
Finally, efforts are being made to reach those who live far from the capital city and other major towns and who do not possess privileges like the Internet, television or even telephones. Across the country, educational and other human development institutions exist for the main purpose of providing communities with guidance in matters like health, agricultural practices and commerce, as well as community-based natural resource management. We make contact with the people running those institutions, offer our assistance in providing relevant learning materials, and correspond with them on a regular basis. In this way we act not only as a library for reference, but also as a distribution center. They trust our centers services and call in advance with requests that usually include ministerial publications, reports and discussion papers, booklets, brochures and posters. We readily supply these and hope in this way to make up for a lack of proper infrastructure that may exist in certain areas, which in the past, kept people from developing further.
Dependence. We have grown up in a Hollywood-oriented society where we look at icons like John Wayne and James Bond, who are displayed as heroes hard men who never need anyone else and can do everything on their own. However, in reality, people, and therefore all institutions, desperately need each other to function maximally. A human body will be dysfunctional if the leg decides to quit working. The same rule applies to us. The government, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), farmers and scientists, as well as resource centers, need each other in order to produce a high quality output. Information needs to flow, and it will only flow freely through the building of confidence and better working relationships. Putting your trust in someone else does make you vulnerable, but thousands of years of human civilizations trial and error has proven that trust is the only way we move forward and improve conditions.
Tangible Results. The goal
of every institution is always results, and we have plenty to
offer. The MET
Networking. Networking here refers to physical and digital communication, as well as data, expertise and resource sharing. Ranging from the researcher and farmer in the field to the cabinet, the resource centers in a country must have good links and relations with all these bodies at once and with each other. Networking involves wide-ranging communication, a common goal and a great willingness to share resources, knowledge and expertise in order to build something much bigger than one institution alone can accomplish.
Environmental Information Databank and the Namibian interlibrary
loan system are two initiatives that are direct developments
stemming from networking efforts by the MET
The Environmental Information Databank is a MET
Each of the participating centers uses the library computer
program called CDS/ISIS, which allows the creation of huge
databases that take up a surprisingly small amount of
cyberspace. The MET
This search engine will be accessible by navigating to the MET Resource Center Web page on the MET website. The two tables below give a good indication of the functionality and efficiency that this service will offer:
With the wide range of subjects being covered and the advanced search capabilities of the databank, we will be able to effectively provide the information needs of environmental scientists, nature conservationists, politicians, economists and students in Namibia and internationally.
Within the databank, each resource center still retains its identity, which will make reference very easy and convenient. The databank is still being developed and relationships and trust among participants are still being established, but it is expected to be fully functional by the middle of 2004.
A national interlibrary loan system, being developed by the Namibian Library Information Service (NLIS),
answers a call first issued at Namibia`s independence in
1990. This action stems from the creation of the Environmental
Information Databank and the neccessity of cooperating with an
international audience. Over 30 participating resource centers
Along with nationwide functionality, this system will connect with the Southern African Interlibrary Loan System. Through the National Library of Namibia, which acts as a gateway for Namibian libraries to the rest of the world, we will be able to access material from outside our borders. A committee nominated by the NLIS is investigating and researching this concept, and once their findings are reviewed, an official interlibrary loan system will come into being.
The ultimate long-term plan of the MET
conclusion do we draw after all is said and done? It can be
brought down to a question of what we want to do with data. The
national vision for
New projects and programs will be formed from the needs identified in resource center resources and documentation. This knowledge will in turn be applied in the field, completing a circle of interdependence and cooperation among individuals and institutions on all levels of society, raising the standards of productivity and living. This is the aim of environmental monitoring, the measuring of indicators and the continuous, active role the resource center plays in it through the process of data management and interaction.

I'm putting this question out broadly, but mostly in an architectural and programmatic sense. I'm an architecture student in his last year. This means I'm doing my thesis, a project of my choosing which I work on for a year. I've gotten input from another forum and local friends put the more points of view the better the final product will be. Have no fear in being creative or not. real input from the kinds of people a build must serve has been something missing this past century.Simply, what would you like to see in a building for the godless?
Enclosed is the proposal from the spring.IS%20Proposal.pdf
Views: 749
link?, name, maybe? a front doesn't tell me much. thanks
As a concept, as opposed to reality, I would love to see a cathedral of life, a temple of knowledge, starting with your photo showing dinosaur skeletons in a glass-roofed hall. It would have stone benches with imbedded fossils. Walking around the hall, there would be stained glass images, beginning with the barren, volcano-studded earth, then images of early life, so that as one walked around the perimeter one would see the start/branch/stop/evolve/develop of evolution's eons of change. Not with homo-sapiens as a pinnacle, but as an especially successful branch, for the moment. Not a place with music, but with birdsong. In alcoves, there would be fountains structured as waterfalls, with moss and ferns growing from the stones. The cathedral would inspire the kind of awe that theist cathedrals invoke, but awe of the immense stretches of time, and endless diversity that have resulted as life evolve(d)(s) on earth. It would have the accuracy of museums, but with staging designed to uplift the mind in wonder.
"Simply, what would you like to see in a building for the godless?"
Frankly, i wouldnt want to see any "building for the godless".
I do not know why people want to seperate from churches and organized religion only to do the same stuff the others do. They start to label themselves "atheists" and wonder why theists claim that they "believe in atheism". They want to have "buildings" and wonder why theists claim they "preach in godless churches"...
Now that aside ... nice proposal (the pdf).
I can't reply to everyone but for the same reasons any people of like mind get together. for where I'm coming from, and to everyone else with simaler comments, I refer to Dan Dennett YouTube - Daniel C. Dennett on What Should Replace Religions?
Hello Daniel,
I am a fellow Architecture student but I work as an architectural drafts-person right now. Anyway I will give you what I think would be a reasonable take on a "church" of Atheist thought.
A base structure similar to a community centre with the ability to house the office structure required to run an association such as a church (limited full time staff, administration for hall and class room booking.) I would drop the church association, as a church only has religious connotations, rather "Associates of Atheists" or something similar. You want a church without having the church part.
Large open spaces are the key here, wood treatment(fine carpentry) with an abundance of light. Your entrance will need to be clean but suit an office style atrium with the main hall leading off. This would be beneficial to be directly viewed from the street. (The university near where I live has a similar but smaller lecture hall that is very popular with students because it feels open and dramatic.)
Your class rooms should be boundary facing with the ability to gain as much external light as possible. Regarding the location of this development, I have a feeling that some of these objectives would be veto'd by a design committee trying to get as much out of the site as possible. Effort should be made to have the building set back from the title boundary even with a landscape buffer to provide an ease between the harsh reality of a concrete metropolis and that of a place that will be for learning, freedom of speech and thought.
Freedom of Thought.
That is the reality of Atheism. Provide a space that allows one to think freely within the confines of a metropolis.
(For the specifics within, most of the ideas presented fit the bill.)
I hope that I have been helpful.

An Introduction to Evidence-Based Clinical Practice - Again
By Dana Lawrence, DC, M. Med. Ed., MA and Christine Goertz, DC, PhD
Editor's note: This is the first article in a new column focused on evidence-based practice. Future articles will provide evidence-based answers to research-related questions. The column features an affiliated blog where DCs can post questions for the authors.
One of your patients is in for treatment and catches you off guard by asking you a question about a news article she recently read. It seems that a new intervention for back pain was found to reduce the rate of serious side effects by 50 percent. She wants to know what you think about that. What questions would you have in order to provide her an answer?
Would you consider who funded the research? What about the population included in the study? Do they match your own? Do they differ? Does the new intervention have its own side effects? Are they more severe than the old intervention(s)? Does the new intervention cost more money to provide, compared to the old? And what, by the way, was the rate of side effects to begin with?
It turns out the rate of side effects in the established intervention was about 1 percent. In the new intervention, it is .5 percent. This is indeed a 50 percent reduction. However, because you know a little about this thing called evidence-based practice, you also know that if the original rate of side effects was 50 percent and the new rate is 25 percent, that is also a 50 percent reduction.
You might recall that this is called "relative risk reduction," which is not the same as "absolute risk reduction." In the first case, the absolute risk reduction is .5 percent, while in the second it is 25 percent. Yet both show 50 percent relative risk reductions. All of this takes some thought as you give the patient your answer. (By the way, what is your answer?)
If you considered any of the above, you were involved in using evidence-based health care. You may not have known it, but you were. Well, how did this all come about?
Evidence-based medicine developed out of a movement started by a group of medical educators at McMaster University during the 1980s. These physicians observed that a gap had developed between what occurred in clinical practice and what was obtainable in reports of clinical research. Essentially, clinicians could not stay abreast with new research because it was being produced so fast; consequently, they were not putting into practice the most current information.
Our guess is you already know this, because try as you might, it is
very hard to keep up with things. Evidence-based methods were designed
to bridge this gap. This concept has been embraced by the chiropractic
profession as well, leading to what we now call evidence-based
chiropractic (EBC) or evidence-based chiropractic practice (EBCP).
EBCP is unique in several ways:
But these challenges have also meant we have a uniqueness to our profession. While we might not have the most rigorous of studies, we do have a pretty impressive body of evidence to support what we do.
Sackett has stated that EBP is "the conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients." This is an important statement, because in it we see that the practitioner's clinical expertise is an important component. The goal is to integrate clinical expertise with best evidence on behalf of the patient.
EBCP is therefore not in any way cookbook medicine or practice; it is the integration of best evidence with the past training and expertise of the clinician, resulting in better care for the patient. And new evidence is replacing old all the time.
Patient preferences also play an important role. This includes the personal values, concerns and expectations patients have about their care. Considering these are critical steps in the EBCP process.
As Haneline states in his excellent book on evidence-based chiropractic practice (Haneline M. Evidence-Based Chiropractic Practice. Sudbury, MA; Jones and Bartlett, 2007), EBCP is "actively seeking support for and improvement of chiropractic clinical practice through the integration of the best available research evidence, combined with clinical expertise and patient values." The above is based on material in his text, which we strongly recommend chiropractors purchase.
We hope to engage you, the reader, in an ongoing dialogue related to evidence-based care. Our next column will continue the discussion.

LITTLE FERRY, N.J. (AP) -- The lives of the residents of Lamker Court lie in heaps on lawns and curbs.
A stuffed Shrek doll sits atop a dining room chair. A gas stove rests in a driveway, a washer and dryer nearby. A computer monitor is wedged against a recliner. White couch cushions are piled high. Red and green Monopoly houses form a trail down the street.
"All I have downstairs is heat," said Loretta Cirillo, 81, whose power was turned back on Saturday. "Everything else is on the front lawn."
The streets of Little Ferry, a borough of 10,000 people about 7 miles from Manhattan, are lined with black trash bags and once-prized possessions destroyed by a swell of water from Superstorm Sandy that rushed into town late on Oct. 29. Dressers, rugs and children's toys sit outside, ready to be carted away. Neighborhoods smell like must. The hum of pumps fills the air as people try to suck out water that still sits in houses.
Like the neighboring towns of Carlstadt and Moonachie, also near the Hackensack River, Little Ferry was devastated when six dirt berms broke from the pressure of a tidal surge, sending water rushing into the towns. The water rose five feet in 45 minutes, officials said.
"It was the worst sound you could ever imagine," said Little Ferry Mayor Mauro Raguseo. "Just water rushing in from everywhere."
The water also went into Lamker Court.
It's a place Raguseo knows well. He and his wife moved in to a home earlier this year on the horseshoe-shaped street filled with neat, split-level houses built in the 1960s.
"My life is on the curb, ready to be picked up by a garbage truck," Raguseo said. "I haven't even had the chance to mourn the loss of my house. Everything I own. I have to be here for the people of my community."
Many residents have lived on Lamker Court for decades after moving out of New York City and into the epitome of the American dream: houses with yards on a quiet street where kids played cops and robbers after school.
But there's one thing that long-time residents have never seen: water in a house on Lamker Court.
"Never. Never. We've been here almost 40 years and not a drop in our house," said Lola Palmerini, 79.
Palmerini was at home with her husband, Silvano, and son, Cory, when the waters rushed into their yellow aluminum-sided home. Cory was sitting downstairs, reading "The Count of Monte Cristo," when he heard a gurgling. Water started pouring into the house. It swirled up about three feet, destroying the first floor. The family huddled on the second floor. Lola and Silvano were rescued by the National Guard.
"When is it going to end, this bad dream?" Lola Palmerini said, fighting back tears. She tries to hide her emotions from her husband, who is sick and requires kidney dialysis. "It's a bad dream. I woke up this morning and cried and cried."
Family photos still hung on the tops of walls where the bottom was knocked out. Two cookbooks written in Italian, sent from Lola's mother in Italy in the 1950s, lay soaked in plastic bags. Crystal glasses sat on the dining room table. Palmerini instructed her son to throw them out.
"I said throw away everything, because I don't want to see anything," she said.
Palmerini stood outside her house on a sun-splashed fall afternoon and spoke in Italian with two of her neighbors, Barbara Spadavecchia, 69, and Lucrezia Gagliardi, 72. Gagliardi's husband was cleaning their backyard; Spadavecchia's son was hosing out the garage, which he had just cleaned with bleach. The first floors of each of their houses were empty, the wet contents removed.
Like others who have owned their homes on Lamker Court for years, the women and their husbands paid off their homes years ago. Because they have no mortgage, they are not required to have flood insurance. And because they all said the street never flooded, they did not opt to spend the money.
"In the beginning, I had it, yes," Spadavecchia said. "But we received no water and I said, 'Why do we have to pay so much money for nothing?'"
Raguseo said many others do not have it as well. He only has structural flood insurance as required by his mortgage.
"There are a lot of people in this town who don't have a mortgage anymore," Raguseo said. "They're not required to have flood insurance."
The three women walked down to Gagliardi's driveway. As they chatted, a FEMA representative approached them, asking if they had registered with the agency.
"Are you looking to take us to dinner?" Palmerini asked as the women laughed.
"We've been through a lot," Palmerini said. "We'll get through this."
Down the street, Cirillo cleaned out her house with the help of her granddaughter, grandson and son, John. She has lived in the house for 50 years.
"I always wanted my garage cleaned out, and this is not the way I wanted to do it," she said.
John Cirillo said the street has come together; people brought around trays of hot dogs for people who were cleaning up and everyone was lending neighbors a hand.
"You know everyone down here," he said. "It happened to everyone and you just look at each other and say, 'What can you do?'"
Each September, the street has a huge block party - enough hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, salads and Italian cookies to feed everyone for weeks, kegs of beer and a DJ who spins well into the night. Cirillo believes that the block party will even bigger next year - and that no one will leave Lamker Court.
"You can't find a better neighborhood," he said.

Sorry. Don't buy it. It's a logical fallacy. Plenty of people spoke and read ancient greek and still managed to be uncivillized.

interesting... I learnt that the western democratic institutions were prompted by local developments and were autonomous from and not based on ancient Greek (Athenian) democracy.
Turendil wrote:To answer your question in short I would say that in england the rise of representative government was a response to local condtions which gradually built precedent over time. In France it seems to me to be a group of people bombinating about classics in a vaccum, who when they were given the chance to govern with no practical experience royally (no pun intended) screwed things up.
megas_yiannakis wrote: i cannot believe that an educated person learning classical languages can even show a slight ignorant beliefe in the idea that Alexander the Great was Macedonian and not greek. this bothers me greatly. anybody who knows anything about history knows that the Macedonians (makednos=high-landers/tall people) were just as greek as the spartans and athenians, not only culturally, but also in the way they thought and what they strove to do.
YES the romans conquered greece... but then the greeks tamed the lion. The Romans always looked to the greeks as a more cultured and educated people.
plus it is obsered to think that a people is more 'cultured' than another by the fact that they 'conquered' them, it is infact implying the opposite.
Greek culture is minimal?... cough... the thought of this idea makes my hair rise its so wiered. I think this is a case of that greek culture has become SO fundamental in western culture in general that one cannot easily pick it out and so 'look thats greek!'. If anyone lives in a democratic country, they are experiencing GREEK CULTURE. If someone is at all christian, they are experiencing GREEK CULTURE (considering the way greek minds developed the christian religion). If someone decides to go and learn maths, physics or even chemistry (atomos), they are experiencing GREEK CULTURE. If someone wishes to learn philosophy, they are in every way experiencing GREEK CULTURE.
The whole roman culture is based heavily upon the greek. Many "Roman ideas" are actually greek, and people go their whole lives never knowing this.
i agree that it is not at all practical to say a culture 'needs' greek, or that it would even be an advantage. One thing i can agree on and say though is that western culture was created in Athens. <<< this sentence itself sums up exactly how fundemental GREEK CULTURE is to Westerners.
if what was implied was saying that 'modern greek' culture today is minimal, then again without trying to be mean or overly nationalistic : what does one expect from a country that has been through that much? Modern Greece in my mind is completely synonymous with ancient greece, culture and language. although it might be.... cough minimal that has no bearing on how rich the culture itslef is.

Ruth Marshall Clemmons of Shelbyville turned 100 years old on Monday.
Born April 9, 1912, she held her birthday celebration Saturday at Citizens Union Bank's community room, where more than 100 people gathered to honor her, said her daughter, Rebecca Tingle.
"[Sen.] Paul Hornback came and presented her with a Kentucky Colonel's certificate," she said.
Albert Moffett Jr. left his mark all over Shelby County. And with his passing from pancreatic cancer on Sunday, his family and friends are left with much many memories of his contributions.
"He would brag on his grandchildren, but he would never brag on himself," said Melissa Matthews, Moffett's daughter. "This gives us a chance to brag on him some."
Matthews noted how her father passed on his work ethic, which saw him never stop.
Mary Anderson Burks was a woman known for many things, such as being a horticulturist and a businesswoman who was very active in the community, but those who knew her best speak of her devotion to her late husband, Joseph E. Burks.
The Burkses had been married for 66 years when he died last January, having married on Palm Sunday in 1944.
And it was on this past Palm Sunday, at 2:15 p.m., the same time of day they had said their wedding vows in 1944, that Mary Burks passed away, to be reunited with her beloved husband on their anniversary.
In restoring their 182-year-old home near Eminence they bought in 1983, Lawrence and Sherry Jelsma have kept almost all of its original features, and the effect is startlingly akin to being transported back in time.
One can almost see the women with their long skirts sweeping the floor and hear the clop of horses' hooves along the brick walkway that still graces the front of the stately old brick home.
Anyone who attended the Touched Twice Ministries' free medical and hygienic clinic on Saturday would agree that the organizers thought of just about everything.
Spread throughout three floors and basement of First Baptist Church Shelbyville on Midland Trail, 36 local businesses pitched in to provide services in everything from hairdressing to a thrift shop to counseling to personal hygiene.
A wide range of medical services were provided as well, including chiropractic, dental, vision, and blood pressure and other screenings.
With communities all around the state and even the nation sending massive amounts of donations to help those in Eastern Kentucky displaced by tornadoes, it took one little girl's contribution to put everything in perspective for her family and friends – and maybe all of us.
Ella Hoehner is 7 years old, and a second-grader at Wright Elementary. Her love of horses has grown so much during her short life that it is legendary in her family.
A science-minded brother and sister from Shelbyville now know what it's like to fly a space shuttle, pilot a jet fighter, the feeling of being weightless and even dealing with a tornado.
Well, sort of.
Marina and Samuel White experienced all that and more during a week at the Honeywell Leadership Challenge Academy (HLCA), a partnership venture with the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Ala.
Walking in a winter wonderland is supposed to enjoyed closer to Christmas than Easter, but on Monday Shelby Countians got their first chance of the season.
The National Weather Service reported amounts of 5 to 6 inches across Shelby County from an overnight snowfall, the maximum recorded in any county, although some readers displayed rulers in snow that pushed 7 inches in depth.
Doubtless some early blooms were confused as they tried to poke their heads through the snow to take advantage of the sunshine that followed.
"I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man who lives in it so that his place will be proud of him."
— Abraham Lincoln
President Abraham Lincoln's words hang inside Edward "Hoppy" Bennett's office and resonate throughout the grounds of Undulata.
Bennett bought the famous old home at auction in 1994 after it had fallen into some disrepair.
If your birthday rolls around only once every four years, it could make you feel like taking a giant leap into your birthday cake, right?
At least that's the sort of unusual response some of you tell us about your birthday being today, Feb. 29, and quite a few of you responded to our call on The Sentinel-News'Facebook page.
The U.S. Census Bureau says you are among 205,000 people in the U.S. who will share this birthday.
Most of you seem to have pretty fond feelings about your uniqueness.

If it felt like it couldn't get any hotter in downtown Baltimore on Wednesday, that might be because it wasn't hotter anyplace else in the country.
The Inner Harbor reached a high of 96 degrees at 4:11 p.m., according to the National Weather Service. That was 5 degrees hotter than out at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, where the high of 91 degrees broke a record of 89 set in 1922.
(The 1922 record, strangely enough, was set just a few blocks from the Inner Harbor at the U.S. Customs House. The point of record moved to BWI when the airport opened in 1950.)
Only one other place in the nation did highs reach 96 degrees -- Port Isabel, Texas, just a few miles north of the Mexican border and inland from South Padre Island.
Other cities to reach the 90s were Brownsville, Texas; Wilmington, Del.; and Washington, D.C., according to a national weather summary posted daily by the weather service telecommunications operation center in Silver Spring. The coldest temperature in the country, meanwhile, was 3 degrees below zero in Lusk, Wyo.
Credit to local meteorologist "Eric the Red" for pointing out the local distinction.
While one more day of temperatures well above normal is in the forecast for Thursday, the warmth could come crashing back down as a strong cold front passes through overnight, Eric writes. Lows are forecast to reach the lower 50s in Baltimore, but Eric suggests some areas could see the 40s as a cold rain moves through.

Special Report from Tech Guru and Business Strategist Asish George who dispenses money tips for life at Money Tips For Life
You've heard that cloud computing is great and it is.
But it's also important to look at your computer network and ensure it's able to grow with your business, is secure and optimized to handle the growing traffic (videos, telephone traffic, images and more) that it needs to carry.
In this article I want to give you the foundation for a solid small business network and share with you five network devices we used to build a test network.
Thanks to Buffallo, ZyXel and Netgear for proving network equipment for the network. See full details below.
Most of you know this, but in case you don't, a network connects multiple electronic devices (such as a computer, printer, scanner, etc) so that they can all "talk" to each other or be accessible by anyone on the network.
This network is called a LAN (Local Area Network).
Why is a LAN important?
A LAN is designed to not only allow communication between devices but also to make the sharing of resources between users easier.
This sharing results in your investment in computing and technological resources being shared by multiple users resulting in a better return on your investment. A LAN will allow for organization wide localized data storage and backup, printer sharing, and deployment of security resources. Regardless of whether you invest in cloud based solutions or not, you should also invest in the basic building blocks of a LAN.
What are the key components of a good small business LAN?
- Router – Many small businesses are content with using the router supplied by their ISP not realizing that these "default" routers tend to be very limited in capacity. Purchasing a good full featured router will not only give you a more reliable connection to the Internet but will offer you a whole slew of added features that will make running your business easier.
- Switch – Most routers contain only 4 – 6 Ethernet ports for you to attach network devices to. If you have more than that many devices, you can purchase a switch to add more devices to the network. Switches come in two flavors – managed and unmanaged. A managed switch has a web interface that will allow you to customize and control the traffic passing through the switch. An unmanaged switch has a default set of configurations and can not be modified. For most small businesses, the low cost option (unmanaged switch) is more than adequate.
- Firewall – Most routers have some level of pre-built security features that may be sufficient for home owners and even small businesses. However, businesses with more complex IT infrastructure should consider adding a Firewall to their infrastructure. The firewall will keep your internal network safe by not allowing dangerous data packets from the Internet (spam, viruses, etc.) through. When purchasing a firewall, note that some features – virus detection for example – are sold as subscription services.
- VPN Gateway – Some full featured routers also have VPN capability pre-built however, for a more comprehensive solution that will allow multiple users to securely access your network remotely, a physical VPN appliance should be purchase. I recommend a physical appliance over software based solutions for SMBs.
- NAS – Network Attached Storage devices are a great way to securely backup your data. Since these devices can be connected to your LAN, it can also be used to backup multiple computers. A good NAS also comes with software that will automate the data backup by allowing you to set the backup methods and schedules.
With these devices, your business can have a secure, reliable local network.
We wanted to build a small business network for a Smallbiztechnology.com and for this project reached out to vendors asking them to provide the products for us to evaluate and implement in our network.
We've successfully tested these products in our network for 2-3 months and feel that they are great solutions for the needs of small businesses.
We evaluated and implemented the following products:
- Netgear N900 dual band router – With features such as simultaneous dual band offering up to 900 Mbps throughout, gigabit LAN ports, advanced QoS, and guest network access, this router is a steal at around $150. We are especially impressed with the signal quality and strength as well as the ability to set up a separate secure guest network (easy to do via the web management interface). This router is a beast and can easily support all your wireless devices.
- Netgear JGS516 gigabit switch – Our test LAN consists of multiple PCs, an Ubuntu server, and a NAS. To support all our devices, we chose the Netgear JGS516 16-port Gigabit Switch. This unmanaged switch offers 16 gigabit ports with each port delivering up to 2000 Mbps throughput. It also has other standard features for this price point (about $160) such as auto uplink technology to adjust for straight-through or crossover cables. This is a simple business class plug and play device and plays nicely with the Netgear N900 router's gigabit ports.
- Netgear ProSecure UTM25 VPN and firewall – Rather than buy a separate firewall and vpn gateway, we chose this combination device from Netgear's Unified Threat Management suit of appliances. This device is price at around $415 and has features that you would expect in a comprehensive security appliance. The beauty of this device is that it protects your network from web, network, and email vulnerabilities using multiple state of the art technologies and partnerships with leading security firms. Being a VPN appliance, it also allows remote users to securely connect to your organization's network. Many VPN appliances geared towards small businesses require remote users to download and configure the VPN software but that's not the case with the UTM25. Configuring the appliance does require some know-how (even though the user interface is intuitive and setup is wizard based) but I've always found Netgear's phone support to be helpful. Lastly, the ProSecure UTM offers Web and email protection subscriptions with no "per-user " licensing and come with 30 day trials of their subscription services. This appliance is a great solution for growing SMBs with a significant IT infrastructure and multiple remote users.
- ZyXEL ZyWALL USG20 Internet Security Firewall – For our satellite office, we deployed the ZyWall USG20 by ZyXEL. This security appliance also serves the dual purpose of firewall and VPN gateway and is a great solution for SOHOs and small businesses up to 5 PC users and is a value at around $145. For this price point, it offers a ton of features including packet inspection to protect your network from security vulnerabilities. Some features are subscription based but what you get out of the box is pretty impressive. We were particularly impressed with the ability to create VLANs and the ability to control bandwidth and network access based on user login. In addition, as part of advanced QoS, we can prioritize traffic for mission critical applications and VoIP. The VPN features are also relatively easy to configure and remote users can connect to the network through a web browser.
- Buffalo LinkStation Pro Duo 2-Bay 2 TB NAS – Every business needs a good local backup solution and the LinkStation Pro Duo is simply great. Priced at $240, this NAS is a bargain considering that it offers 1 TB of storage with RAID configuration (2 X 1 TB hard drives) to provide data redundancy and protection as well as many advanced features. I want to note that the NAS arrives with RAID 0 configuration instead of RAID 1 but you can (and should) easily change it in the web management tool. This NAS is also blazing fast making backup and restore a simple process. There are 3 features of this NAS that make this an excellent buy. First, you can remotely access your files on the the NAS via the Web and Web Apps. Second, it comes with data backup software for both PCs and MACs to ensure that all your devices can be backed up properly. Third, it has a USB port on the back that you can use to attach a hard drive or camera to easily transfer files or you can even connect a USB printer and turn it into a network printer. With a simple intuitive user interface, a small form factor, and lots of great features, this is a great investment.
