Tom Tolbert is one of ESPN's most popular NBA announcers, so it's no surprise that Visual Concepts sought out his witty and sometimes controversial style to be the voice behind ESPN NBA Basketball. While everyone knows Tom is an NBA expert, what IGN found out is that he's also very much a sports videogame junkie, spending countless hours reliving the NBA and NFL seasons in his favorite games.
IGN recently caught up with Tolbert during a taping session of his color commentary at Visual Concepts. Here's what he had to say:
IGN Sports: I hear that you're not only the voice behind ESPN Basketball, but you're also a big gamer.
Tom Tolbert: Yeah, I play. We had Pong in the house when I was eight, graduated to Atari, then moved on to Colecovision and Intellivision, then on to Nintendo and so on and so forth. I've always loved videogames, and I've always been a big sports gamer. Sports games are the best for having someone over and competing against your buddies. I'd say I've been playing sports videogames for over twenty years now.
IGN Sports: Compare the evolution of sports games, from when you first started to a game like ESPN NBA Basketball.
Tom Tolbert: It's amazing, because the first sports game I remember playing was an Intellivision game. It had nothing 3D, everything was just right n front of you, and since it wasn't 2D, you actually had to miss everyone when you threw your passes. If you hit a lineman he'd intercept it, which you know is ridiculous because the ball should be airborne at that point. you just had to find the perfect seam to throw it in and miss every single player until the ball reached your guy. You play now, and you can't even believe what these guys are able to do with the videogames. It's ridiculous how the guys look so much like they do in real life. They're all playing with their attributes, so now if you can shoot from 20-feet in real life, you can knock down that shot in the game, but if you can't, you can't n the game either. Back when the games first started coming out, every player was the same. It didn't matter if you were Magic or Mark Landsberger for God's sake.
IGN Sports: Have you seen the new ESPN Basketball game yet?
Tom Tolbert: Not yet, although I'm excited to see it because I actually own all of the NBA 2K games in the series. When it comes to football, I play Madden as well as the Sega game, but for basketball, I stick to NBA 2K3 and for baseball I only play World Series Baseball. These games are fun, although I never use any of the teams that they give you, I like to go n and create my own players. I play center, my brother plays power forward, my friends are all on my team, and of course I rate them all as 100's so we just roll everybody. [laughs]
IGN Sports: You talk about creating yourself in the game, but what hairstyle are you going with, the old-school mop top like when you were with the Warriors or the new, less hair is better look?
Tom Tolbert: I give myself the big blonde afro, which is sweet. I give myself the headband, and make myself about 7-3, 380lbs. Make myself yoked, just killing people. I take on Shaq on the low block and I'm like "Come get some, fool!" [laughs] I make everyone else on my team about the same heights that they are in real life, but I make myself the man. I average about 38 points and 27 rebounds a game. I can't be stopped.
IGN Sports: The games now even feature fantasy drafts. If you were building an NBA team from scratch and could have anyone on your team, who would you draft?
Tom Tolbert: If I could take any five players to start I'd have Shaq at center, Tim Duncan at power forward, Kevin Garnett at small forward, Tracy McGrady at off guard, and I'd play Kobe Bryant at point guard. I know he's not a point guard, but that would be my starting five. If you give me that five I'd never lose a game...ever.
IGN Sports: Every squad needs role players as well as the stars. Who are some of the best role players around the NBA that you'd want coming off of the bench?
Tom Tolbert: With that starting five, you could give me just about anybody and it wouldn't matter. [laughs] It's hard to tell who the best role players in the league are because sometimes you could be a good role player but you're not on a good team or a team that fits your style of play, or you might not be on a team where the stars aren't willing to share their roles with the role players. That's why you look at San Antonio and a guy like Tim Duncan, and it was amazing what they were able to accomplish. Here's a team with only one superstar. Sure, Tony Parker's an emerging superstar, but Bruce Bowen's a role player, Malik Rose is a role player, Steve Kerr is a role player. They have a lot of role players on that team and they all know their roles. Then they have a guy in Tim Duncan who's willing to help them out in their roles. Duncan's not the type of guys to walk around and say: "It's all about me, just give me the ball and get out of my way." He's not a guy who bitches at guys when they don't get the job done. he realizes that they're all out there with the same goal. To me he's the consummate pro, the perfect superstar, and he had perfect complimentary players around him.

I would be delighted to swap years! Only Jared and Brooke know what a difficult task this would be though...they were left on the hook for a Lot of Money when 'sponsors' like MV and Bimota and Men's Vogue pulled out.
Sadly, it all comes down to money, not love; although nothing happens without the love, if there is no money, it's difficult to make a grand vision come true.
Spooky how our landscapes overlap... I'll send you today's pic of the Cliff House. The city recently 'restored' it to the 1950's version, not the magnificent Victorian original. I think we should ask for some of that $3tr Bailout money to rebuild it properly!

Geisler discusses four objections to premillenialism that he considers worthy of some discussion, but only two (the third and fourth) touch on anything I might say. So we'll skip the first two.
Objection Three: Premillennialists are not Consistent It is objected that even the premill view takes some prophetic passages symbolically and figuratively, such as the seven "stars" (angels),"lamp stands" (churches), and "beasts" (world powers) in the book of Revelation. If so, why should not "a thousand years" be symbolic of a long period of time and "144,000" from the "twelve tribes of Israel" (Rev. 7, 14) be symbolic of the Church, and so on.
This is indeed a point similar to one I would make: Really, preterism and dispensationalism both recognize some level of metaphor in the text; but the dispy view takes more literally than the preterist view. Geisler offers six responses.
First, figures of speech are not contrary to a literal interpretation since even they are based in a literal meaning. For example, just because there is a "key" (a symbol of secure containment) to the bottomless pit where the Devil is consigned for a thousand years does not mean there is no real Devil.
I agree. But I know of no one who is saying there was no real devil, so I have no idea what specific application Geisler is trying to make here.
Second, the Book of Revelation identifies many things as symbols, but it gives their literal meaning (cf. Rev. 1:20).
Also agreed. So again, what point is being attempted here? This is not a rebuttal in any sense to arguments concerning to what level symbols are symbols, and literal things are literal things.
Third, all these symbols represent literal people, things, and events. Fourth, the worlds "tribe" and "resurrection are never used figuratively in the Bible. Even symbols have a literal meaning (Rev. 1:20).
Agreed and agreed. And none of this (again) rebuts and preterist point, save that heretical hyperpreterists reinterpret "resurrection".
Fifth, the rule of thumb still stands: "If the literal sense makes good sense, then seek no other sense lest it result in nonsense."
Actually, this "rule of thumb" -- Geisler's first real "argument" here -- is heavily biased towards a Western and modern literary view. Biblical peoples, as we have noted, had a much more "dramatic" orientation in their language, and that means we'd best be a lot more cautious before assuming that a "literal sense" actually makes "good sense." Beyond that I can say nothing without specifics.
Finally, amillennial interpretations are inconsistent for in the same passage (Rev. 20) they take one "resurrection" literally and the other one spiritually.
The inconsistency is merely on the surface. See on that point the link below.
Objection Four: The Prophecies about Israel are fulfilled spiritually by the Church. According to this "replacement theology," Israel was disobedient and lost the conditional promises God made to them. Thus, God replaced Israel with a new "spiritual Israel" (Gal. 6:16) known as the Church who fulfill the "new covenant" made with Israel (Jer. 31 cf. Heb. 8).
My view is slightly different. Mine is not a "replacement" theology, but a grafting-in theology. Israel always has been defined as those loyal to YHWH, according to Romans 11. Today that can be anyone -- whether they are descended from Jacob or not.
Geisler responds to the above objection, but it is of none effect against a point I made Wednesday: The Deuteronomic covenant requires Israel to be on the lookout for a prophet like Moses. That's Jesus, as Geisler and I would both agree. And that means as long as an adherent to the Deuteronomic covenant isn't listening to Jesus, they're in disobedience -- continually. So there's no way they can be granted the blessings of Deuteronomy -- and in turn, the only possible fulfillment now existent can be that in which Jesus reigns over his Body, those who are now loyal to YHWH. That doesn't mean we get the Holy Land, of course; that's not in the new covenant.
In conclusion: Geisler sides with those who call premilleniallism a "fundamental." He concludes by threatening a slide down a slippery slope, but as I have said in an E-Block article to John Walvoord, who made the same kind of threat:
The main point here is Walvoord's appeal to a "slippery slope" which he apparently felt would cause us to cascade down the whirlpool of misinterpretation. In a sense he was correct, though: Once the door of possibility opens, it does open more. But that begs the question of whether the slope is one we ought to be going down in the first place. Walvoord looks into the maelstrom and sees darkness and death; we see paradise and Pellucidar. I see Walvoord warning us that we should not understand the Bible as people in its day would understand it – though he would not have seen it that way, but rather as taking us away from a proper hermeneutic – that happened to match with modern perceptions as opposed to ancient ones.
In the end, the "slippery slope" warning is little more than an attempt to coerce by way of threat that something held dear will be lost. And it is true that some Christians hang on to the modern hermeneutic, kicking and screaming, lest they lose other parts of it as well. On the other hand, much thankful feedback has come my way from persons who saw the dropping of the hyper-literalist hermeneutic as a burden from which they were gladly relieved. And I daresay those reflections were from persons I'd regard as more mature on their faith.
Geisler calls premillennialism "a safeguard against liberalism," but as far as I can see, it's mainly a safeguard against being exposed to new ideas that threaten the status quo.

Geisler vs Preterism, Part 2
Posted by J. P Holding at 3:12 AM
1 comment:
Thank you for your many articles on preterism. I was raised and trained as a premillenialist and always went along because my teachers were experts and a "lot smarter" than I am. I first discovered partial preterism through your web-site and the light bulbs began going off. For the first time the New Testament began to fall into place. This led to a wonderful journey of research and study in which the prophecies of Scripture came alive to me in a way they never had before. Thank you so much for your efforts and your ministry.ReplyDelete

More than five years ago, while finishing the Academy Award-winning "12 Years a Slave, " director Steve McQueen told editor Joe Walker about a different project he had in mind: an adaptation of the hit '80s British television drama "Widows" from crime writer Lynda La Plante.
November 21, 2018, 10:24 am
Hans Zimmer has "a strange history" with "Widows." Early in his career he worked for composer Stanley Myers, including on the 1983 BBC miniseries that would inspire the 2018 film. "I remember thinking at the time this was a revolutionary bit of storytelling," he recalls. It concerned "the sort of casual brutality women have to endure on a daily basis." He felt the series could "change the way we treat women," so when Steve McQueen approached him about scoring this reimagining, he leapt at the opportunity because "things had not gotten better."

9 tips for insomnia during pregnancy
gynecologist, obstetrician
Sleep during pregnancy is of utmost importance. It allows a pregnant woman to rest, restore her energy and strength, wake up in a good mood and positive attitude towards to the world and the future. When asleep blood pressure decreases and muscles are resting, resulting in a noticeable reduction of tension and pain. The mind also rests, and this is important because lack of sleep can contribute to depressed mood or aggravate depression.
The amount of sleep required for regeneration is an individual matter. Your needs in that respect will also vary in subsequent months of your pregnancy, along with changes in your body. Generally, sleep should last from seven to nine hours. During the first trimester, however, excessive daytime sleepiness may be one of the symptoms of pregnancy, and in the third trimester you may need much more sleep. The feeling of fatigue is then natural, and significant changes in the mother's body and its efforts need to be regenerated with rest.
Unfortunately, sleeping at night during pregnancy is not always easy and pleasant. You are tired of your heartburn, get up to go the toilet to urinate. No matter what position you take, it is still uncomfortable. Moreover, you have thoughts and anxieties about the future, which seem to like evening hours to visit your mind.
Sometimes it is not easy…Yet now you sleep not only for yourself. Your state of mind and body affects the child you carry in your womb. That is why it is worth doing all you can to be able to fall into Morpheus's arms without any major problem and with a smile on your face every evening.
A lot depends on what is on your mind. If you are worked up, upset, have too many negative thoughts on your mind, it will be very difficult for you to fall asleep. And even if you have managed to do, it will not be a restful and relaxing sleep.
Therefore you should do all you can to relax before going to bed.
Do not watch engaging TV programmes, avoid horror movies and dramas, particularly those with children in the lead roles. Choose easy and pleasant books to read in bed. Make a decision with your partner that no matter what happens the evening is not the right time to for serious discussions, or, indeed, arguments. You yourself also need to be careful to try not to think about bad things and not to worry about the future. When you start thinking those thoughts, do something else not to delve into them deeper.
Taking a walk before going to bed will do you good. If this is not possible, stand close to an open window and take a few deep and slow breaths in and out. A body filled with oxygen will relax easier and feel the need for sleep.
As you make your bed, so must you lie in it
There is much truth in this proverb, therefore it is worth investing in a good mattress and get a few small bed pillows and/or one long pillow.
The mattress should be fairly firm, yet bouncy enough to accommodate to your body's curves and not to fail to support extra kilograms. The ideal mattress, while supporting the spine in a straight line in a position where the body lies on its side, is to bend under the shoulders and buttocks.
The pillows will be useful to put under your head, stomach and right leg. It is worth placing the pillows so that you can raise your upper body so that you can reduce the discomfort of your heartburn. When you are lying on a flat surface it is easier for the content of your stomach to flow back into the oesophagus. In the advanced stage of your pregnancy you will feel more comfortable if you support your belly with a pillow and place another one between your legs at the knees.
The duvet that you use to cover up for the night should be made of breathable materials, suitable for the season and temperature and lightweight. A duvet that is warm and heavy will significantly reduce the chances of a good night's sleep, so will a too lightweight one, which will force you or your partner to find an additional blanket at night time.
Sleeping position
In the first trimester it is not yet a problem, but most women when they find out they are pregnant avoids lying on their stomach. In the second, and especially the third trimester, you must avoid sleeping on your stomach, and sleeping on your back may lead to obstruction of the inferior vena cava by the ever-growing uterus, which adversely affects the blood circulation in the lower parts of the female body and the supply the foetus with oxygen.
Probably the most comfortable sleeping position for a women with a prominent pregnancy belly is to lie on the left side with pillows placed under her stomach and right leg. The side of the body is not irrelevant, as due to better blood circulation pregnant women are recommended to sleep on their left side, the side where the heart is. Then the blood flows effortlessly to the placenta, supplying the foetus with nutrients and substances necessary for its proper development. This position of the body is also beneficial to the kidney function, reducing the swelling of the feet and hands.
Room comfort
The temperature of the room where you sleep should not be higher than 20°C. It is important that you ventilate your bedroom. If it is winter, open the window wide open and leave the room for a while. At more convenient temperatures leave the window half open or open overnight. Ensuring supply of fresh air and, if possible, cold air is important, especially in the third trimester, when you may experience attacks of breathlessness and a feeling of shortness of breath.
Ensure that you sleep in a quiet room with appropriate shading. However, if, so far, you have been falling asleep while listening to a quiet and peaceful music or with a gently glowing night light, you should not give it up. The most important thing is that you ensure for yourself the conditions that will be soothing for you and help you fall asleep.
Neither on an empty nor a full stomach
You should eat your meal at least two hours before going to bed, unless you have gestational diabetes. Avoid foods that are heavy to digest as they can make it difficult for you to fall asleep and have a restful sleep later. For your dinner you should choose foods that contain complex carbohydrates and protein, provide you with a feeling of fullness but will not be heavy on your stomach.
The time of your meal and selection of foods consumed at dinner are also important because of the problem of your heartburn. Therefore, you should avoid hot spices, fried food and citrus juices. Some future mums find almonds helpful for that condition, so you should keep several of them in a bowl placed on your night table.
Try not to drink liquids at night. In pregnant women the uterus is enlarged causing pressure on their bladder and reducing its space, and better blood circulation is beneficial for effective kidney function. Therefore, frequent urination during pregnancy is the physiological norm. Unfortunately, it can be very cumbersome. The only thing you can do about it is to limit the volume of liquids drunk before going to bed. If you follow this rule you may need to get up and go to the toilet at night only two times rather than five times.
Avoid the use of stimulants
Fortunately, knowledge about the detrimental effect of alcohol, nicotine or narcotic drugs on the developing foetus has become more widespread. It is clear, that a conscious mum who cares for the welfare of her child will not use them.
This leaves you with coffee, which in small quantities is allowed in pregnancy, especially for mums who have been drinking large amounts of it before. However, if you have problems with your sleep you should give it up not to stimulate your nervous system with caffeine.
You should remember that not only active smoking is harmful to your baby and you. While staying in smoky rooms you also inhale tar and toxic compounds. This is not beneficial for the foetus and can cause problems with your sleep.
Find your rhythm
Listen to your body. Some women appreciate taking naps during the day as a form of quick regeneration of their energy. However, in others they cause disturbed sleep at night. You yourself need to find out what is best for you.
Whenever you can, you should go to ben when you feel sleepy. In the morning, let yourself wake up without an alarm clock, when your body lets you know that it has rested.
If, however, you cannot fall asleep, your keeping counting sheep will not be effective. It is much better that you get up and do something that will allow you to relax and restore your mental balance.
Sometimes, it is helpful to follow evening rituals. Here, too, it is you yourself who need to choose the best one for yourself. Perhaps you like taking hot baths, and maybe you love drinking cocoa or milk with honey. Reading a good book before going to sleep and drinking a cup of melissa herbal tea put many a prospective mum in the right mood for sleeping.
Defeat leg cramps
Calf cramps are a nightmare for many a pregnant woman. Before talking to your doctor about supplementing your diet, start eating healthy foods ensuring that you eat foods rich in potassium, calcium and magnesium. You should eat bananas, nuts, almonds, dairy products and legumes.
Appropriately prepare your yourself for the night ahead. Before going to bed, wash your calves under a shower alternating with hot and cold water and massage them. This will improve blood circulation and supply more oxygen to the muscles.
If you have a cramp at night, rub the sore calf while moving the toes.
Talk to your doctor
In general, hypnotics or sedatives are not recommended during pregnancy, however, it all depends on the individual case.
If your sleep disorder are serious and permanent, if you feel tired and weak, are in a depressed mood, you should talk to your doctor. Your doctor and you will try to find the cause for your insomnia. Perhaps you will find that you should seek further assistance elsewhere, with a psychologist or a psychiatrist, if your anxieties or racing thoughts do not allow you to fall asleep. Sometimes the problem is caused by digestion or cardiac dysfunction, which also requires a diagnosis by a consultant.

Nice old travel town. Restaurants are less than Hua Hin and Cha am area but they are good. Normal price and good tastes.
Lots of sighseeing such as palace and temple. Many souvenir shops and local market to buy things for your friends and family. Less Traffic than Hua Hin.
It's a very old City and has always supported a strong Buddhist Presence. There are dozens of temples of all styles, ages and conditions throughout the City.
The Markets and Traditional Streets are intersting. Petch Mountain with the Royal Buildings is a place worth visiting. Khan Krachan Dam and the agricultural hinterland are lovely places to visit, and the seashore is within easy driving distance of the City.
The main city is a nice place the visit for a day or use it to stop as a way point to other destinations.
The people there are friendly and the food is great, cheap also.
There is many sightseeing to visit. And people is very friendly. Also great local seafood restuarant in front of the beach.
I like shopping and in Petchaburi many place to shop such as Floating Market, but my Mother in law she like Khoa Wang and we can go to next favorite province to shop at Prachuapkhirikhan (Hua hin)
For natural lovers, Petchaburi is one of the best destination. Local People, food, natural places, n etc.
are so wonderful.
ท่านมีเวลาพักผ่อนได้เต็มที่ที่ท่องเทียว 3 พระ คือ พระราชวังบ้านปืน พระนครคีรี พระราชวังมฤคทายวัน และ 2ชาย คือ ชายหาดปึกเตียน ชายหาดเจ้าสำราญ
Easy to travel and near Bangkok. Many interesting places to visit. Good combination of various attractions, from beach to historical sites.
Good food, both local and seafood ones
just come you'll enjoy your stay in Petchaburi -- good foods, activities, sigh seeing, cultural things, and etc
Phetchaburi is located at the northern end of the Malay Peninsula, with the Gulf of Thailand to the East and the Tanaosi mountain range forming the boundary to Myanmar.
Except these border mountains most of the province is a flat plain area. With an area of about 3000 km² the Kaeng Krachan National Park is Thailands largest national park, covering nearly half of the province. It protects mostly rainforests in the mountains along the boundary to Myanmar, but also the Kaeng Krachan reservoir is part of the park. The only significant river of the province is the Phetchaburi River. Several caves are found in the province, most notable the Khao Luang caves near the capital city. Illuminated by a hole in the roof several Buddha statues are placed in the cave.

I assumed this would be the best place to post about interning in China. I'm a 3rd year industrial design student at Auburn University attempting to apply for internships for the upcoming summer. I'm curious if anyone has any input on interning in China? That is something I'd really like to do but I'm not terribly sure where to look for information on openings aside from one posting on Coroflot.

pioneering the then new concept of digital sampling, influencing a
generation of musicians, sound engineers and record producers alike. By
1990 the

that their work was done when sampling had become available to the
masses. As an avid fan since September 1983, I, like a lot of others was
quite sad when the news was announced only a few weeks after the
release of the hit single Art Of Love and their remix compilation album The Ambient Collection.
the majority of that decade, enthusiasts like my self had to endure
another two remix albums in attempt to keep the spirit of group alive by
China Records, as more
and more contemporary dance artists of the time were acknowledging the
group as
their idols, making way for a new audience to discover their music,
albeit in bastardised forms. However Art of Noise themselves were busy
not being Art of
Noise working on other projects.
A few weeks before the third and
thankfully last remix album was released, the first proper Art of Noise
spin-off project, or sequel, depending on one's point of view emerged in
the form of an album by Art of Silence, the brainchild of Jeczalik. It
got positive
praise by fans and rave reviews in the dance music press. However by
early 1997 he had retired from the music industry ending what at the
time seemed like the end of the Art of Noise for good. Shortly after we
would be proved wrong when another spin-off project began to take shape
in the form of

music of the French

1999 as The Seduction Of Claude Debussy, the fifth Art of Noise and the first in a

roots of that released album are included as two prototype versions on the first two
discs of this three set.

It was fifteen years ago or so that I discovered the "Alexandria Quartet," Justine, Balthazar, Mountolive, and Clea, by Lawrence Durrell. I remember luxuriating in my recliner (no pretensions to classiness please!), having some wine and that layered cheese, you know, cheddar with creamy stuff alternating, and listening to Gorecki, it was, and reading these dreamy, worldly, intricate novels, soaking in the atmosphere Durrell creates. Everything here is ambiguous and wonderful, and the love of a lifetime is identical to a city and a moment. The novels are famous as an evocation of Alexandria, but the reader is out on the water, riding across the desert, off to Greece. And in Greece a whole lot more of Mr. Durrell, a former British diplomat, awaits the reader fortunate enough to discover him today. His "Sketches from Diplomatic Life," Esprit de Corps, Stiff Upper Lip, and Suave Qui Peut are a masterpiece of English humor, and I would hope to find people high up in the State Department familiar with them, there must be someone, and that's who I would want to talk to. But my personal favorite, a little book (and none of these are over long), is Reflections on a Marine Venus, a more earnest treatment of diplomatic life in provincial Greece after the war, also very funny to be sure, but packed with insights, historical, political, archeological, classical: one simply couldn't find a better host to visit this forgotten world. There is more, notably the novels Tunc and Nunquam (also published together as The Revolt of Aphrodite) and The Dark Labyrinth. It's striking when someone's life experience and someone's skill as a writer are both so considerable and so well-suited to each other. Compare the optimism of Durrell to the cynicism so common to "travel" writers such as Theroux. Which is more inherently insightful, and makes for better company?

Earl Lovelace's Trinidad
The Dragon Can't Dance, Earl Lovelace, Persea Books 1979. Most writers of fiction have good intentions (not that that's a requirement for good literature!), but good writers are rare, and good writers whose experience of the world equips them to shed some light for the rest of us are rarer still. Earl Lovelace manages to transport us to an urban neighborhood of Port of Spain, Trinidad, where the impoverished residents live tot-to-toe with each other, and with their own thwarted dreams. The persistence of the human struggle to achieve something against the powerlessness of poverty is the theme here, woven into stories of young love and bad decisions, jealous neighbors and provocative new bicycles, and strategies for walking past the tough guys on the corner. Carnival, music and costumes are the vehicles for people stubbornly championing their sense of self-worth. You might not want to walk up Calvary Hill and explore around yourself, and Lovelace does us all a service with this devotional writing, preserving a sense of a hard-to-see world.

Stewart on Spinoza and Leibniz
Matthew Stewart, The Courtier and the Heretic: Leibniz, Spinoza, and the Fate of God in the Modern World (Norton, 2006). This is a very well-researched intellectual history of two of the so-called Rationalist philosophers of the 17th century, and its success with the public ought to tell publishers a lot about the public appetite for this kind of material. It takes a real talent to popularize this highly abstract subject. This is not a hard-core philosophy book, like reading Stuart Hampshire on Spinoza or Bertrand Russell on Leibniz, but enthusiasts will still enjoy Mr. Stewart's argument that Spinoza was the catalytic philosophical influence on Leibniz, and the thorough review of what is known about these two colorfully contrasting characters. Stewart's repudiation of the old "Rationalist/Empiricist" picture of Early Modern philosophy is right on. He offers a very consistent interpretation of Spinoza that sees him as a full-blown modern physicalist; Chapter 10 merits a careful once or twice through, and is mostly persuasive, as on the impossibility of a personal God or personal immortality on Spinoza's view. My main disagreement with Stewart on Spinoza is that he tends to collapse the mental aspect of things into the physical aspect of things too much. A mental description of a thing is, according to this interpretation, a particular species of physical description. It seems to me that Spinoza is insisting that everything can be understood as having both mental descriptions and physical descriptions, in the context of his metaphysically monist claim that everything is God. I think it is reductive to interpret Spinoza as a physicalist. Another problem is that Stewart doesn't appreciate the importance of modal logic for metaphysics, then and now. Spinoza thought that everything that existed existed necessarily, necessity following from the perfection of God. The idea was that contingency and possibility were illusions of human finitude. The ancients had the same problem from Parmenides to Aristotle, and it wasn't until Frege developed a way to formalize modal operators in the 19th century that logic could truly be said to represent the real world of accidents, contingencies and probabilities. But Leibniz anticipated all of this: he saw that God could still be seen as making a willful (and thus moral) decision in the creation of the world if God chose among possible worlds. Stewart conveys this well, making it the more surprising that he doesn't see where Leibniz went beyond Spinoza on the problem of determinism. Quantifying over the objects in sets of possible worlds is the way that modern computers represent/handle modal operations. The metaphysical implications of possible-worlds modeling is one of the core arguments in the recent revival of metaphysics, for example in debates between David Lewis and Alvin Plantinga. The young Bertrand Russell uncovered the forgotten Leibniz sources and made his own name with the publication of his book The Philosophy of Leibniz in 1900, one of the great interpretive coups of modern philosophy. Stewart waves the whole discussion off thusly: "Russell and others who sought to place the study of logic at the foundation of philosophy claimed to see in Liebniz's metaphysics an astonishingly prescient and coherent application of fundamental principles of logic." This implies that Stewart is a partisan who doesn't like the idea of "the study of logic at the foundation of philosophy," and is antagonized by Russell. Stewart never even bothers to explain possible worlds modeling: the fine index has 24 citations of "modernity," not one of "modality." But I doubt that I'm the only reader who picked up a popular discussion of Spinoza and Leibniz precisely because these metaphysical ideas are currently in the air.

I just received this yesterday and i gotta say when i opened it and sprayed it. I fell in love with this fragrance! it smells so good, and it special fragrance for that special someone.

I have found a scent in Canali Black Diamond that I find very agreeable and long lasting and apparently "becomes" me as I have received those sideways looks from the girls as they slide up next to me and ask "Are you wearing cologne?".

Black Diamond is an amazing scent. My boyfriend recommended it and I bought it for him and I'm SO glad I did. I fell in love with it. He wears it almost every day, but it's still PERFECT for when we have nights out on the town or a romantic evening at dinner. You never get tired of it!

CANALI BLACK DIAMOND One of the best colognes I have had thus far, very sensual/elegant lasts a long time. I was very pleased when the women at one of many functions I go to kept interacting with me all night. I would recommend this product to everybody who appreciate elegance, confidance & beautiful women

ok, i have to admit that i am not the biggest juicy couture fan. there was a period where i, like every girl, fell into the juicy couture sweat suits bandwagon. but after the craze, i quickly found most of their design a little too dolled up and overly sweet for my taste. that is saying a lot, since i have a pretty big sweet tooth (in food and designs). so it was to my surprise that i am actually really attracted to their new polka dot accessories line! i find the sweet and cute aesthetic really charming! the colors are black with silver dots, light pink (damsel) with silver dots, and navy with gold dots. i think the handbags are a little too much cuteness for me, but the little accessories, i.e. wallets, ipad case, and mini bags are adorable!
ipad case – i think i want to get an ipad just for this case
critter mouse headphone – ok, this is not polka dot, but it's just too cute not to share! i want!

But according to Santa Rosa Airman James Goodwin, the skies of Italy weren't the fighters' only battleground. While the 332nd was fighting Germans, the 477th, a Tuskegee-trained group that would never go overseas, was fighting segregation in the south. Leslie Williams, a 92-year-old San Mateo resident and member of the 477th participated in the events of the famed Freeman Field Mutiny, in which 162 arrests were made.
"We were unhappy because we had more people at Freeman Field than the white officers did, but we couldn't use the officers' club or tennis courts," Williams recalls. This feeling was exacerbated by the fact that white officers were often promoted much faster than the black pilots. "They would be teaching us, and they hadn't even gotten as much experience as us," Williams says.
On April 5, 1945, several groups of three black officers entered the all-white club. They were refused service. When they were sure they were being discriminated against as a whole, the men donned their best uniforms and made an orderly parade to the club door. "Someone told the white officers that we were coming, so they stationed someone outside the front door," Williams recalls. Sixty-one officers were arrested.
Charges were eventually dropped against all but three officers, who were then sent to what Williams calls "The Stockade." At Fort Knox in Kentucky, Williams says they were placed in a special, high-security wing of the prison. "It was a stockade in every sense of the word. There were barbed wire fences and floodlights and they couldn't get in or out. They could look out from the barbed wire fence and see German prisoners of war who were more free than they were," he says.
Two of them were eventually released, but one, Lieutenant Roger Terry, was convicted of jostling the officer stationed at the club door and received a dishonorable discharge. "That's like a felony," Williams says. "He endured the stigma from that for many years. That's what prejudice is all about."
Meanwhile, 101 officers were briefly arrested (some for a second time) for refusing to sign a document stating that officers' clubs would be segregated. The atmosphere was strained even for those who weren't arrested, Williams says. "We couldn't assemble in groups of three. It was a very tense time," he remembers.
News of the arrests spread nation-wide, and due to pressure from labor unions, black organizations and politicians, charges against the 101 were dropped. Several black pilots were elevated to command roles afterward as well. Truman didn't sign his order integrating the military until 1948, but Williams says the 477th sees their protests as at least partially responsible for his decision.
"We all feel, all of us, that we helped instigate that," he says.

Non-residents: UK income: returns and reports: enquiries by FICO - form 4450/I part 2
Part 2 of the form has questions designed to indicate whether, because of a group relationship or other situation, the amount of interest paid may be influenced other than by commercial considerations.
Interest may be payable at a fixed or floating rate. Intra-group agreements can be vague on the interest rate to be used, sometimes even leaving it to the lender's discretion or `to be agreed'. Clearance cannot be given on such a basis. A specific formula or fixed rate appropriate to the length of the loan, type of finance, etc. needs to be agreed.
Fixed rate loans are normally for fixed periods, and the rate will depend upon the currency of the loan, its length, and the creditworthiness of the borrower. It is often worth asking how connected parties determined a fixed rate.
Floating rates are usually expressed as a percentage margin over a market rate such as LIBOR or a bank's base rate for the relevant currency. International Division 4/5, Melbourne House have access to a database of interest rates and can advise if necessary.
If the United Kingdom borrower has bank borrowings, the terms of these may provide a useful comparable.
Sometimes the borrowing is from a bank, etc., but the amount has been influenced by a guarantee given by an overseas parent. The influence can also be by way of a letter of comfort or a letter of awareness. International Division 4/5, Melbourne House would like to see any cases where excessive finance seems to have been obtained by such means.
A loan agreement may refer to a `collateral' or `security' agreement. This should be followed up and the other document obtained. This may reveal a back to back arrangement (see ITH1228). The fact that a large bank loan is apparently unsecured may also be a sign of such an arrangement. Since April 1996 we can use the loan relationship provisions at FA96/SCH9/PARA13, to challenge this, but the use of these is monitored centrally. Consequently International Division 5/2, Melbourne House need to see all such cases before a challenge is mounted.
The facility is only likely to be connected with a United Kingdom permanent establishment if the lender has a United Kingdom branch or where the loan or facility was effectively negotiated by a United Kingdom affiliate.

China has become known for some of the zaniest, prettiest, most daring architecture of the 21st century. Sadly, that's all coming to a halt, as the government is now banning any new buildings that are dubbed "oversized", "xenocentric" or "weird." The government's State Council made the announcement on Sunday. From here on out, it wants cityscapes that are "suitable, economic, green, and pleasing to the eye". We reported on this potential ban back in 2014, but as of this week, the kibosh is now reality.
In recent years, China has really upped its architecture game. In 2013, the largest structure ever constructed was finished in Chengdu: the 1.7-million square metre New Century Global Center, an 18-floor mall that could fit 20 Sydney Opera Houses inside. And let's not forget the gaming company CEO who secured the rights to build a headquarters shaped like the USS Enterprise from Star Trek. That's only to name a couple.
Even chain hotels can be bold eye candy, like the Sheraton Huzhou Hot Springs resort:
The government document states that there will be a greater emphasis on prefabricated buildings going forward, and there will be a crackdown against designs or construction techniques it perceives to be wasteful, impractical, expensive or aesthetically displeasing. To make it even more dystopian-nanny state, the document encourages the government to use satellites to monitor urban sprawl and make maps of new construction that can pinpoint anyone trying to break the new rules.
The government's anti-fun campaign comes a couple months after the Central Urban Work Conference, a meeting aimed to address problems associated with China's rapid urbanisation, like pollution, safety and traffic jams. The South China Morning Post points out that the last such conference was held back in 1978, when only 18 per cent of Chinese lived in big cities. That figure now stands at 55 per cent.
Wanting to tackle urban woes is one thing. But sucking all the insane pizzazz out of architecture that's become world renowned? That's just a bummer.
