Filed under LIFESTYLE, NEWS
Electric vehicles powered by electricity from renewable energy sources are an attractive option for mobility within urban areas and beyond. But on the way to mass production of electric vehicles, there are still significant technological hurdles to overcome. Within the joint research project Visio.M, scientists at the Technische Universität München (TU München) are cooperating [...]

I have 81 followers and about like, 7 or 8 of them might be paying attention, but I'M STILL TALKING TO YOU!
Here and there I've mentioned that among my many and varied creative talents, I also like to draw. I'm a cartoonist and aspiring illustrator and I've wanted to make comic books since I was 12 or 13 years old.
So, I'm planning on starting a new Tumblr within the next week or so that relies on participation from you guys! It'll be kinda like an Exploding Dog-style thing (by the way, Exploding Dog is also on Tumblr), where you submit your ideas for things to draw and then I will post them on my blog! Eventually this could grow into a thing where collaborations are done.
I am aware that art blogs aren't a new thing and that this idea isn't original, but the main reason I'm doing it is because I've been in an artistic funk for a while and I think you guys can actually help me out of it. I have a lot of strong belief that this project will help me get my groove back.
I haven't come up with a name or anything yet, so I can't yet say "Here's my new Tumblr, please follow me!" but I will do so when I get it started. In the meantime I'm interested in any ideas for drawings that you may already have to get me started (nothing too elaborate, please)! I'll also consider suggestions for names for my new Tumblr.
If you're interested in my new project, please be sure to "like" this post! I'd really appreciate your support to get me going!

PHOTOS / RECAP: Big Gigantic, Kill Paris @ House of Blues, Boston 2/15/13
Dominic Lalli and Jeremy Salken, better known as Big Gigantic, played another one of their high octane and high energy shows last Friday (2/15/2013) night at the House of Blues in Boston. The large Big Gigantic (confusing I know) fanbase was in full attendance for the show and were dazzled by the signature lights and sounds. Gigantic played their album Nocturnal in its entirety with some of their old songs in the mix. Read on for my full gallery from the show…

Police are appealing for help to trace a convicted murderer who escaped from Pentonville prison yesterday.
John Massey, 64, made off from the Islington prison at around 6.30pm.
He is considered potentially dangerous and police are warning the public not to approach him if he is seen.
Massey, a former carpenter, was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of a man at the Cricketers public house in Cricketfield Road, Lower Clapton, in September 1975.
It was said to be a revenge raid after after two other men were thrown out of the pub after a fight.
Massey, who lived in Castle Road, Kentish Town, was also convicted of attempting to murder a police officer.
In 1976 it was recommended he serve 20 years before parole.
If you see Massey, call 999.
His hair is greyer than the image available.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call Islington Police 0207 421 0296; if to remain anonymous call Crimestopppers on 0800 555 111.

Mull: Low-Cost, Multi-Purpose Sensors
Mull is a series of low-cost sensor modules which communicate (and recieve power) through the headphone jack of a device, primarily smartphones. All Mull sensors consist of the same, arduino based architecture, which allow new sensor modules to be easily created using the publically available base schematic, which can be modified to add any sensor that can be connected to an Arduino. Mull sensors have two primary functions:
To Educate
By creating a easy to read, user friendly smartphone application which displays the data recieved from a Mull module, children are free to explore their environment through a whole different perspective, like looking through a portal. Using the sensors, they can explore natural phenomena independently. This helps to create an understanding of a topic. Their low cost (£10-15) will make it easy to introduce Mull sensors not only in classrooms, but out of them to, again encouraging independent discovery.
The low cost of the Mull modules does not come at the cost of accuracy and precision. All official Mull sensor modules use sensors with very high precision and accuracy, and modules such as Carbon Monoxide and Humidity use medical grade sensors. This allows older students to use Mull sensors for genuine scientific investigation and exterimentation. The Non-Contact Thermometer module is an example of a module with a wide range of scientific applications such as measuring enthalpy change of reaction or many engineering applications.
To Inform
Services such as Taarifa (http://taarifa.org/) help to enable citizens to communicate with their local government to report on issues in their area. There has been close collaboration to integrate data from Mull sensor modules into Taarifa reports, enabling citizens to add another layer of depth to their report, and allowing governments to see where the most serious issues lie (for example eccessive Carbon Monoxide concentration) and respond quickly. There is also work being done on creating a low-cost data logger (i.e. not a smartphone), compatible with Mull modules to allow off-the-shelf, cost-effective long term monitoring of envionmental metrics in a certain area.
The current implementation of sensors in education is mostly horrible! The devices are so expensive they can only be used by staff, disconnecting students from the subject matter. They are also very rarely used, due to their cost and no student engagement because they are so boring!!! (Can you sense the existenceof previous experience???)
During the event, we created the basic architecture of the Mull sensors, creating a prototype which could communicate over a headphone jack. We then created the schematics for the first six Mull sensors: Pressure And Temperature, Humidity, Carbon Monoxide, Air Quality, Soil Moisture, Non-Contact Thermometer. We then wrote the code for the arduino chip to read the data from the different sensors and transmit them to the phone, indicating to the phone which sensor was used. The architecture we created is an integrated, one microcontroller and one sensor per board system. Finally we made a PCB layout for one of the sensor modules (Air Quality) and worked on sending data from a Mull sensor to Taarifa in a report. We managed to get data from the arduino to Pachube, which was then used by Taarifa to make a report, and other data visualisation stuff!!!
Design and make your own sensor modules! Improve the code! Write the apps for us!!!

It seems we human beings are always searching for something. Be it something spiritual, like enlightenment, faith or the meaning of life, or perhaps for our place in the sun, kicks, or that certain someone bound to give us true love or a stronger feeling of inner peace, we seem to be searching an awful lot. We might find ourselves searching for the ideal fishing hole, a new car, the car keys, some other mundane material item like wax paper to bake cookies on or a new hat for the beach. It is this incessant hunting about for things, feelings, and meaning that seems to drive the human race. Ask yourself what you are searching for, or have recently searched for; I'm sure there is something. It is possible that we have what we need already, but just do not recognize it as such.
Today's book is an adventure story entitled In Search of Captain Zero by Allan C. Weisbecker, published by Penguin Putnam Inc. Mr. Weisbecker is a surfer from Montauk, New York who makes his living as a photojournalist and writer documenting the surfing lifestyle all around the globe. He wrote this book in 2001 about an adventure he went on in 1996. He had a friend from back in the days of his youth that had vanished from the face of the earth, and he decided to go find this friend. He had last heard that his friend Christopher, also known as Captain Zero, had gone into the wilds of Central America in search of something, or getting away from something here in the United States.
Captain Zero was an avid surfer, and Mr. Weisbecker thought he would be encamped at some fine surf break living the surfer's dream life. The author traveled by van through seven countries, surfing along the way, asking local people if they had seen or heard about his friend, Captain Zero. Clues were thin, and veiled in mystery throughout. The journey lasted over two years. The book's story gives great insight into the people the author meets along the way, and gives the reader a real sense of life in the many coastal towns the author visits. The feeling that you are in the van with the author, experiencing first-hand this search for a long lost friend, is thick throughout.
Allan Weisbecker weaves wild stories from his somewhat sordid past into the plot of the book. The writing style is easy-going, funny and sometimes heart-gripping all at once. He has lived the life of a modern day pirate and that particular lifestyle is a driving force in this book. He is fearless and extremely motivated to find his friend. You get a sense that he has some dark inner situations going on inside, and that the search for Captain Zero is also a search for something inside himself. You get a lot of insight into human nature, emotions and the forces that drive people to do what they do in this story.
In Search of Captain Zero is something to be considered this summer as you lounge on the beach watching the surfers catch a wave, or after going out there and doing that yourself. Allan Weisbecker has written a surfer's version of the famous beat writer Jack Kerouac's On the Road, and it truly is a great adventure story flavored with some deeply emotional soul searching.
Allan Weisbecker's writing and photography have appeared in Surfer, The Surfer's Journal, Men's Journal, Smithsonian, American Photo, Surfing, and Sailing.He also wrote Cosmic Banditos.If you find yourself searching for some thought provoking and entertaining reading, you can find In Search of Captain Zero online or in your favorite book store. Enjoy and read on!

Vegan Lasagna
Posted in Entrees, Kid-Friendly, Pasta, Recipes, Skinny Bitch | No Comments »This recipe is courtesy of my Grandma's kitchen, veganized by yours truly with an assist from the Skinny Bitches.
I know everybody thinks their Grandma makes the best lasagna, but I'll tell you what: I have never had lasagna from any restaurant or at anyone else's dinner table that is anywhere near as good as my Grandma's. For reals!
The changes necessary to veganize this are subtle and do very little to alter the original taste. Try this one out for yourself. It will make a believer out of you, I promise!

For the hockey world, Sunday was the start of dad told me is called free agency. My dad tells me it's the day that people who have signed contracts that ended get to sign with new teams for more money. Dad said he likes it because it's the free market at work. I don't know what that means but it sounds good.
WOO-HOO, it's time to find out who the Rangers and Whale added to their teams.
Dad told me that M = Million and K=Thousand. I didn't know that. So now you know that too.
P.A. Parenteau, who was our friend when he played for the Hartford Wolf Pack a few years ago left the New York Islanders and went to the Colorado Avalanche. They paid him $16M for 4 years. That's $4 million per year. 16 divided by 4 = 4. That's a lot of money. Good for P.A… I liked him a lot when he was here.
Jonathan Audy-Marchessault, who was one of my favorite players with the Whale last year, left the Whale and signed what Dad told me is called an entry-level contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets. He will probably play for the Springfield Falcons, one of the Whale's biggest rivals. I'll still like him as a person because he was always nice to me and my brother, but I won't root for him anymore.
Brandon Prust left the Rangers and went to the Montreal Canadiens and will make $2.5M for 4 years. That's $10M total. 2.5 x 4 =10.
My brother Tory's favorite player in the world is Chad Johnson. he left the Whale and went to Phoenix for 1 year. Tory was VERY upset about it. But Dad told him that he's probably going to play for the Portland Pirates so we'll get to see him again. That made Tory feel a lot better.
John Mitchell left the Rangers and went to Colorado with P.A. and he's getting 2 years for $2.2M. That's $1.1M per year. 2.2 divided by 2 = 1.1
Kris Newbury, who played for the Whale and who has very nice kids and a nice wife signed for 2 years with the Rangers. They didn't say the amount he's getting paid. I'm happy that I'll still see his kids and wife if he doesn't make the Rangers..
Micheal Haley left the Bridgeport Sound Tigers (BOO) and will play for the Whale. They didn't say what he's going to get paid.
John Scott is a defencemen who didn't play much for the Rangers but he will go to Buffalo. He signed for one year at $600K.
Its really cool that my dad knows some of these people really well and that he let me meet them too. They were all really nice to me. I will miss the ones I knew.
Don't forget to tell your friends and moms and dads to vote for Daria Novak and Steve Obsitnik. You can tell them that I told you about it because I'm head of Kids for Daria and Kids for Obsitnik so I know what I'm saying.
Well, that's it for me today.

Ed Kilgore reads an Arlen Specter op-ed and develops a hypothesis that might do something to explain how it is that the Senate "centrists" zeroed-in on the most-effective element of the stimulus package for elimination: "A cynic might observe that all of the four senators that Arlen Specter identifies as the organizers of the 'centrist' coup-by-amendment–himself, Ben Nelson, Susan Collins and Joe Lieberman–happen to come from states where the governor is of the other party." Ed's no cynic, I guess, but I am and I think this is important. I suppose it might be too cynical to suppose that the Gang of Four is deliberately trying to sabotage their states' opposite-party governors. But at a minimum, you have to think that if there were political allies sitting in the relevant governor's mansions that these legislators might have taken their calls and listened to good sense.
Either way, the tragedy is that unless the conference committee reverses these cuts we'll all be paying the price—not just the governors or the residents of those four states.

Vroom! Fastest US road, 85 mph, opens in Texas
SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- Motorists, start your engines. It's opening day for the last leg of a Texas toll road with the nation's fastest speed limit.
The final 41-mile stretch of Texas Highway 130 opened Wednesday after three years of construction. The speed limit is 85 mph.
The toll road is intended to help alleviate the increasingly crowded Interstate 35 corridor between Austin and San Antonio, which are two of the state's largest metropolitan areas.
The new stretch will be from Mustang Ridge, about 10 miles south of Austin's international airport, to Interstate 10 just east of Seguin. A 50-mile stretch bypassing Austin already is open.
Tolls for personal vehicles displaying an electronic toll tag will be about 15 cents per mile. But no tolls will be collected until Nov. 11.

Okla. grand jury returns new charges on ex-judge
May 23, 2013 23:32 GMT
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Oklahoma's multicounty grand jury has returned new indictments against a former Lincoln County judge who already faces embezzlement and cattle theft charges.
The grand jury handed up the indictments Thursday against 47-year-old Craig S. Key of Chandler.
Key turned himself in last month to Lincoln County authorities who set bond at $10,000.
One indictment accuses Key of harboring a fugitive by allegedly encouraging a client facing criminal charges in Lincoln and Jefferson counties to flee the state to avoid prosecution.
Another charges Key with five counts of delivery of a forged note and accuses him of forging the name of a woman whose signature was required on escrow account checks that Key was also required to sign.
Key's attorney, Cheryl Ramsey of Stillwater, says the additional indictments are no surprise.

Greg Jackson, the single most successful trainer in the multi-billion-dollar sport of professional mixed martial arts fighting, works out of a musty old gym in Albuquerque, New Mexico, not far from the base of the Sandia Mountains. On a recent morning, the 38-year-old Jackson, who has the cauliflowered ears and bulbous nose of a career fighter, watched two of his students square off inside the chain-link walls of a blood-splattered ring called the Octagon.
One of them was Jon Jones, the light heavyweight champion of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), the premier MMA league. In four weeks, Jones would be defending his title against Rashad Evans, an expert fighter and his former training partner. To prepare him, Jackson had set up a sparring session with Shawn "The Savage" Jordan, a heavyset fighter from Baton Rouge.
Jones and Jordan met in the middle of the ring. Jordan threw first. Jones backpedaled and protected his face with his forearms.
"Look for that space, Jones!" Jackson hollered. "You. Do. Not let him close those angles on you." Jordan threw a flurry of blows. To me, the exchange appeared disorganized, nonsensical—a blur of flesh, sinew and the red flash of Jordan's mouth guard.
To Jackson, it was a logical sequence, one with only one possible effective response. "Jones," he said, "move inside." The fighter seemed to hesitate. If he moved within range of Jordan's fists, he risked catching a glove square in the face.
"Go on," Jackson said.
Jones ducked under one fist and whipped his right leg out in a short arc. The kick missed. Jordan threw again. This time Jones dropped down, flicked his head to the side, and, leaping off one foot, launched a flying jab followed by a knee to Jordan's midsection, which landed with a wet whoompf. Jordan groaned and crumpled onto the mat.
"Goddamn, Jones!" Jackson yelled. "Exactly correct."
Producing a notepad from his back pocket, Jackson sketched a spiderweb of circles and lines. It was a game tree, he explained—a graph game theorists use to analyze a sequence of decisions. In a traditional game tree, each circle, or node, represents the point at which a decision can be made. Each line, or edge, represents the decision itself. Game trees eventually end in a terminal node—either a tie or a win for one of the players. This game tree, Jackson told me, showed the exchange between Jones and Jordan from Jones's perspective.
At the start, the two men stood a few feet apart. Jackson drew a circle. The node had three edges, or moves that Jackson was training Jones to use. He could execute a leg kick, or a punch, or he could shoot for a takedown (attempt to grab Jordan by the backs of his legs and drive him into the ground). But the initial node was not "optimal," he said, because it allowed Jordan to swing freely with both fists. Although it seemed counterintuitive, the fast track to what Jackson calls the "damage" node (in this case, Jones's advantageous position following his hard knee) was to move in close, where Jordan would not be able to fully wind up. Another circle, representing Jones's inside position, and a series of edges, representing his potential decisions from there, appeared on the notepad.
"From inside," Jackson said, "he can do a knee, he can do an uppercut, he can do elbows. He could have done anything there, and done it effectively."
Since 1992, when he opened his first gym, Jackson has been using math to inform his training techniques. Unlike other MMA coaches, he continually collects data while watching live bouts, logs old fight videos to determine which moves work and when, and fills notebooks with game trees to determine the optimal nodes for various situations in a match. "I've always seen the ring like a lab," he says. "I've tried to think rigorously, logically."
"I've always seen the ring like a lab," Jackson says. "I try to think logically."Jackson's attempts to impose some measure of order on the primal, violent world of MMA mirror a larger movement within the sport. Science may not be civilizing cage fighting, but it is refining it. Specialty firms compile detailed statistics on matches. MMA pros appear on ESPN rigged head to toe with sensors and monitors that measure their striking power and speed. Academics are writing peer-reviewed articles on subjects such as the physiology of top fighters and the role that fear plays in the Octagon. And now fighters, most of them trained by Jackson, are beginning to use this data and analysis to become ever more brutally effective in the ring.
single pagelol. I like to put in one of the bubbles over the fighters minds, " Dam! I better stop and bring home those diapers or my lady will kick my butt ".
Ka-POW! Game over.
Awesome article! I appreciate the work that goes into this kind of fight analysis! That's why I wrote the book, "Analyze Your Fighting." Available at Lulu.com
the sport of mma has been evolving before science got its hand on it... and whats up with the title? "cage match"? really? its not cage fighting. its MMA. Mixed Martial Arts.
"You take the blue pill – the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill – you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes." -Morpheus
its not cage fighting? yes its MMA, but MMA is fought in a caged arena therefore some people do call it caged fights Jedi.
this was a pretty sweet article though. wish i could train with this guy!

Abstract: This study provides fresh evidence on the responsiveness of private consumption and, by implication, saving to government deficits. It focuses on consumption and saving from 1981 to 1989, a period during which the personal saving rate was characterized as surprisingly unresponsive to high federal budget deficits. The authors attempt to determine whether this experience is consistent with previous behavior. They also test whether this experience refutes the Ricardian Equivalence Proposition (REP), under which consumers incorporate the government's intertemporal budget constraint into their own.

looks like they got a couple of backs up with it.
What a sick group of people. why do they always insist on blaming gays for all that happens. If us gay people were really so powerful that we copuld control nature, then I am sure we would have made it impossible for any member of this church to have any children. They are so evil.
I thought there had been some new laws made in the USA against this sort of hate
why even bother to cover the story, they always blame us or others for deaths and its well known they do this aroundthe globe…….so why even enduldge them by helping them promote their cause…..
I think it's essential to cover what they say. If I was a conspiracy theorist, I might even suspect that these nut-jobs were being funded by the gay mafia, so damaging are they to right-wing christian fundamentalism. Even the most conservative supporters of organised religion must cringe when the WBC spew forth their bile. Hey! But that's the good old USA for you and their determination to uphold the citizens right to free-speech and freedonm of religion. I do wonder what the reaction to these imbeciles would be if they were ranting on and on about race issues …..
It is their hate that incites more hate. Someone should point this out and picket their "praying" meetings.
They seem to have no fear. Picketing the funerals of dead servicemen is dangerous enough but this….. I can see swift and brutal reprisals. Their law degrees won't help them then!
Why do decent Americans not exercise the same first amendment freedom to assemble, protest, etc. outside the WBA so-called church? Surely there are enough right-thinking people to keep it up 24/7 until it drives them even more bananas than they are now?
Just realised that WBA are West Bromwich Albion. I meant WBC, of course! I have felt a little sick ever since the news broke the other night, and hearing this disgusting reaction from the Phelps gang makes me wonder why there isn't a lunatic with a gun who would go to THEIR place. I would be sorry for the deaths of the poor brainwashed kids, and maybe a bit guilty for wishing it upon them, but much less sick. I know its an irrational and not particularly good reaction, but it's the best I can do.
I have only just heard about what happened in CT. our hearts should go to the victims of this horrible gun tragedy and we need to really look and learn about the tree gun incidents that have happened in the US so far (other other two in WI and CO) and it is way to easy to gain access and/or entry to guns or firearms in the US. The US as a nation needs to take a good hard look at itself, have political bipardenship on this controversial gun issue and just reflect upon in 2012, just before Christmas. I am shocked and saddened that someone can do that to 20 innocent little children!
Abortion, guns, gay marriage and gambling are controversial subjects that really deeply divide America and can cause political hate, anger, frustration, acts of terror and violence!
United States of America – more like the deeply Divided States of America!
SHAME ON YOU EVIL PEOPLE. Why isnt CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES STEPPING IN TO PROTECT THESE POOR BABIES FROM THESE HATE MONGERS? These are the children that will grow up to become elementary school shooters! Taught to HATE, instead of Gods Love ,HOW ABOUT TEACHING THEM VALUES, MORALS, COMPASSION FOR OTHERS, BEING NON!!! JUDGEMENTAL!! LEAD BY BEING A GOOD EXAMPLE! You who are leading these babies away from God,and Love, will answer to HIM one day!
Actually Shawnia you made a really good point. I hadn't thought about it like this before. I'm thinking in the UK, this would be a criminal act. Words and behaviour inciting hatred. Given that the adults would be prosecuted for this, the children would automatically (I think) come under the scrutiny of Social Services. A good lawyer could make a case of abuse out of this because they are educating their children in such a way as to marginalise them from the rest of society. Hmmm…..any imaginative DA's in Connecticut out there?
Anyone have any idea who to contact about this child abuse? And why hasnt this drastic child abuse already been adressed? These are the nuts that are raising our Nations NEXT Elementary school Shooters. When will we stop worrying about political correctness, freedom of speech to babble hate, and start getting back some COMMON SENSE and protect these children from these NUT JOBS!
This westboro inbred family church is going to end in tears. I can just feel it. Waco all over again.
I love the Prayer of St. Francis.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life
Unfortunately, these people think they have the right to speak because of Amendment 1. What they do not realize is that just because they have something to say, does not mean that it is worth listening to. G-d created everyone with the same love and respect and honestly; who are we to judge love? What if one of their members came out of the closet? Would they stone them? Shoot them? Nail them to a cross? What if one of them was sent to Iran or Iraq and came back dead? Would they protest the soldier's funeral and blame on the "anomalies?" It is people like these that have made me loose faith in humanity; the people that have no respect for others, especially at a time when children (not adults, innocent little children that haven't even lived their lives) were killed and are being protested because of "the gays." These people are a disgusting work that are hungry for the attention of the media. Do not give them the time of day, they are sinners who should be put in their place.
""Westboro will picket Sandy Hook Elementary School to sing praise to God for the glory of his work in executing his judgment."
That has to be one of the most disgusting and utterly chilling things I've read for a long time. Glorying in the murder of little children? The word 'despicable' doesn't even begin to cover it.
And why on earth haven't their children been taken into Care? How disturbed are they going to be growing up in that atmosphere of hate? What are they thinking as they see their parents and adult relatives rejoicing in the death of schoolchildren like them?
Why does anyone refer to this incestoural group as a church….???It's a hateful family with nothing better to do and as long as they get this media space free they will continue to be this menace on society…They will use guns soon if they are not STOPPED…Who will take responsibility for the harm they will cause? Such hatred towards others will only end when forced to stop their tactics…We cannot just stand by and pretend there is no harm to this type of behaviour…Are we waiting for another magor event???
Why even give this article room in your paper. Everyone in the world knows that they have some kind of weird fascination with blaming gay people for all the ills of the world. you didn't expect a heartfelt comment about how tragic it was, did you. Stop publicizing these moronic bigots.The more you talk about them, the more they think they'll have won. The best thing to do with idiots is ignore them.
Psychiatry killed the children in Newtown school, the shooter was seeing a psychotherapist who put him on psychotropic drugs that make people into killers.
They may have only '40′ visible members, yet there are a lot more who are supporting them out of sight . . .
I don't understand… why isn't anyone saying "The Westboro Baptist Church is responsible for all of the violence and hatred we are seeing in the world right now"?
If more people SAID it, and more news outlets REPEATED it, it would actually start reflecting the TRUTH. These people are vile, hateful, disgusting, sorry excuses for humans. They have no right to call themselves a "church". They are an inbred family cult.
People should be picketing their homes and church with "God hates fascists" signs.
Voltair said I MAY NOT AGREE WITH WHAT YOU SAY BUT I WILL FIGHT TO THE DEATH FOR YOUR RIGHT TO SAY IT
I try to live by that this lot make it reallllllllllllllllly hardddddddddddddd
This whole thing makes me sick to my stomach. I don't think I want to see any more. But could any American on these boards explain why it isn't possible under US law for the grieving parents at these funerals to get an injunction banning the Phelpses from coming near them? Wouldn't that override the First Amendment?
I am sick and tired of idiots like these misrepresenting my God. What they are doing is the most Unchristian thing I have ever heard of. The media needs to start referring to them as a cult, because this morning every CHRISTIAN church in America was praying for the victims and their families, not rejoicing and planning protests. If all they want is attention, we need to quit giving it to them – and the police need to be sure to keep them far, far away from any of the funerals or memorial events.
This "church" exploits the most tragic moments in peoples lives to spout out their horrible message of hate. It saddens me that the Supreme Court has allowed this behavior to continue because it would violate their First Amendment rights. What about the rights of the victims and their families??? Sick sick sick…how these people can even live with themselves is a shock to me!
I said this on the other post but I find the WBC funny. They just go so beyond the absurd and it kind of takes some balls to offend basically everyone. I mean they have no supporters outside their little freak show church. Seriously though, theyre atttention whores and they need to stop being reported on.
Me too. This latest stunt is truly sick but the holier than thou response of everybody pointing out this all too obvious fact is an eye opener – not to mention all the sincere calls to kill them! Like we are so much better when it's the 'right' people who are hated. Maybe there's some truth in their preaching – that all humans deserve hell. It just takes the right prompt to bring out the hate in all of us.
Please You are not God, so stop saying that God wanted hurricane Sandy, i think hurricane Sandy killed not gay people. God wants peace on earth, everyone has the write to live like he wants as long as he is not hurting others. Please No one is God, so do not say that God is doing this or God is doing that… I think God knows well what he is doing since million of years and not our thinking will limit God or know what God is doing
This could ALL be solved overnight if someone insisted that God tells us HIMSELF, IN PERSON, what it is he wants from 'His children 'instead of leaving it up to weird nut-jobs to pass on his messages. Why doesn't he just pop down .. or send a postcard … or (if he's techno-savy, a text) or turn up in court and, under his own oath TELL US WHAT THE F**K HE WANTS!? Strange how, throughout all the wars, famines, natural disasters, man-made disasters … he's never ONCE put in an appearance, instead relying on the WBC to be his spokespersons. Personally, I think he should review their contract of employment because, in business terms, they're having a highly damaging efect on His brand image.
FYI. Change.org have posted a petition against protest at funerals.
One thing I honestly can't understand. With all the gun toting mental cases in the USA why is it that children get murdered in a school whilst the members of WBC are still breathing?
Is it that all the gun toting mental cases secretly agree with them?
I think the vile campaign waged by the WBC is driven much more by closet homosexuality. Psychologists would tell you that for anyone to have this extreme reaction indicates some deep-seated issue self-loathing. Could it be that among the membership there are those IN TURMOIL and CONFLICT with themselves over their sexuality and extreme religious brainwashing they've endured? I hope they demonstrate themselves into oblivion.
I'm with Lee Rand. We know their messages are full of hate. Now let's ignore them and stop giving them the attention they crave. They planned to picket Newton after the Sandy Hook shootings, for crying out loud — how much more disrespectful, hateful, and attention starved could they be?? I propose that we fill spaces that would otherwise be used to relay news about this horrible organisation with more news of gay and queer allies. Let's promote that and not hate.
"In 2009, the British Government placed a ban on members of the church entering the UK due to their attitude to homosexuality"
one of the greatest things that the British government has ever done .. the killings in Conn have saddened me and hurt my heart then to see this ..I thought it couldnt get any worst for the families and the community in Conn . now we have this bunch of idiots to put up with . here in middle tn as soon as they announce they are showing up a group forms to keep them away from the funerals . its a mixed group of veterans, gblt, bikers etc… ..I do hope the same happens in Conn .. but where is a link to the petition .. also its strange not a word about it in the news in the USA but thanks to pink news
I can look for the petition GOD hates hate … Bette Midler sang it best
"God is watching us
God is watching us
God is watching us
From a distance"
and he is pissed at westboro
Like I always say: The Pope, African dictators, and heartland Evangelists agree on little, if anything, save for their hatred of gays. By extension, men should be violent and in control, while women should be submissive and sexually available to men. Their hatred of gays is a natural extension of those beliefs because gays totally disrupt their social order. Homophobia is a distinct form of sexism, yet homophobia can only exist in the context of narrow gender norms.

On the campaign trail, GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum often discusses his opposition to abortion rights and gay marriage. That message served him well in Iowa with its large contingent of evangelical voters. Christian conservatives are also dominant in South Carolina, which votes Saturday. Santorum hopes to repeat his Iowa performance, but he's been struggling to keep pace in polls.

As we start to feel the blossoming of spring, there is also an abundant blooming of transformational media events. Its interesting that after Inside Job won the Academy Award for Best Documentary last month, this month brings a crop of fresh economic views and alternatives. Some of the many events this week include:
On Wednesday, March 9th at 6:00pm, the Center for Food Safety in collaboration with Congressman Dennis Kucinich presented a special screening of Pig Business at the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center's North Orientation Theater in Washington, DC. The film explores the impact of factory pig farms on the environment, workers, human health, rural communities and animal welfare. Introductory remarks will be made by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr and the director of Pig Business, Tracy Worcester.
Colin Firth, Oscar winner for Best Actor in the film "The Kings Speech" went eco-friendly on the red carpet at the Academy Awards Sunday night. Firth and his wife Livia wore environmentally friendly clothing in an effort to raise awareness that you can look red carpet fabulous and be eco-conscious. Livia is the founder of a Fair Trade boutique called Eco Age in London. She wore a gown made from old dresses and told Britain's The Sun,
Entertainment Weekly looks at 12 Documentaries That Changed the World. A dozen nonfiction films with real world impact -- helping free a man (''The Thin Blue Line''), energizing debate on climate change (''An Inconvenient Truth''), altering diets (''Super Size Me''), and more
This past weekend, I attended the Conscious Life Expo. It took place in Los Angeles, CA, at the LAX Hilton. One of my main areas of interest, this time around, was film and media, so I made a point to experience the Conscious Life Film Festival. I attended the Transformational Media Panel on Friday evening, saw a variety of films and excerpts over the weekend, and attended the awards ceremony on Sunday evening.
I just stepped out from a screening of Sing Your Song at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. Wow! I have never been so moved by a movie – alternating wanting to cry and clap.
This powerful film illuminates the life of Harry Belefonte, a man who is loved for his music, acting, personality and his humanitarianism. He is a true global citizen who has been involved with creating positive change in the world his whole life. From his beginnings in the Theater in Harlem the marvelous archival footage of him performing as an actor and singer to his role as voice for causes everywhere.
Its quite awakening to see that a performer of Harry Belelfonte's stature was still subject to the racial segregation the divided our country. This awoke in him a passion that lives to this day. his fame and stature enabled him to connect with many leading politicians and thought leaders. Not only did he lend his singing voice to the actions taking place, but reach leaders such as JFK and RFK and bring the messages of MLK.
One of the stories he tells in the film is how his mother told him to do one thing each day to fight injustice in the world.
His remarks after the screening were equally profound and articulate as those in the film. His charm and warm enhance the clarity of his message and mesmerizes one. He told how his mother observed him seaching for a pair of socks over and over in the same places and asked him if he ever thought that the answer lie in place had not yet looked. It became a mantra that led him around the world seaching for wisdom and the next piece of the puzzle for mankind.
I also had the privilege to see Mr Belefonte in a panel discussion on Film and Movement and he was equally powerful and empowering.
It was quite interesting that the same day I saw this film which highlighted the non-violent part of the civil rights movement, there was also a screening of Black Power Mix Tape which features footage about the Black Power movement which was archived in Sweden and recently discovered.
I hope this movie encourages everyone to sing their song and create a global chorus – it has moved me to do so, never before have I wanted to write like this, to add my voice to this song!
It's true that almost anywhere you go there is a film festival of some kind, but be thankful – they have taken the place of "big cinema" as venues for quality movies that may never see the dark of a Cineplex. This is especially true for movies without the enviable budgets of their studio counterparts or whose uplifting messages or controversial subject matter get passed over for the lucre of lowest-common-denominator filmmaking.
350.org is an international campaign that's building a movement to unite the world around solutions to the climate crisis--the solutions that science and justice demand.
Our mission is to inspire the world to rise to the challenge of the climate…

Al Mohler has caught up to a controversy that's been talked about for years in Christendom. In a post last week at his website 1, the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary president — I'm sorry to say this — breathed new life into the issue.
Without outlining my own position just yet, here's an overview of three Christian views on yoga.
- Pagans came up with yoga for false-religious reasons. Its belief basis, meditations, ideas about the human body, poses and breathing methods do not honor God. Therefore Christians should shun everything about the practice, not wanting to worship idols.
- While pagans may have come up with yoga for wrong reasons, I as a Christian should be able to do it, even the meditating and whatever, and I'm okay. What's wrong with it?
- Yoga began as a system of exercise based on anti-Christian beliefs. Wise Christians will employ Biblically based discernment to weed out the junk, not wanting to dishonor God (and waste their time!) with false religious beliefs. However, although almost any Thing in the world (such as food) may be invented or sold with anti-God motivations (definition: any motivation not sanctified by the Spirit!), a Christian may stretch or exercise in a way that yoga practitioners just happened to popularize first, and not dishonor God.
Mohler takes a stance
This past spring I joined an anti-yoga Facebook group and participated, not because I believed in the group-starter's beliefs (ahem), but because I wanted to stretch my mind (ahem) and take part in an intellectual exercise and learn (ahem!). That didn't go over too well with other group "members," most of whom were anti-Christian activists, polite and otherwise, who had more-crucial issues to complain about. But I did get a column out of it (plus a short sequel).
Still I stand by my conclusions then, that yoga poses, stretches and even breathing techniques and the like are almost direct equivalents to the "meat offered to idols" the Apostle Paul talks about in Romans 14 and 1 Corinthians 8-10.
It seems Mohler doesn't bring up that issue. To him, perhaps, not discerning yoga as a false religion is the main Problem in Christendom.
Do I agree this is likely Christians' biggest problem? Yes.
Will I also ask rhetorically whether Mohler may be skipping over potential lesser problems? Yes.
He won't know anyway, that I'm about to first, quote from his column:
[A] significant number of American Christians either experiment with yoga or become adherents of some yoga discipline. Most seem unaware that yoga cannot be neatly separated into physical and spiritual dimensions. The physical is the spiritual in yoga, and the exercises and disciplines of yoga are meant to connect with the divine.
… then rework it just a bit, like so:
[A] significant number of Corinthian Christians either taste-test meat offered to idols or become adherents of some pagan temple worship service. Most seem unaware that eating these meats cannot be neatly separated into physical and spiritual dimensions. The physical is the spiritual in idol-worship, and the exercises and disciplines of eating such meats are meant to connect with the divine.
This changes things somewhat — especially if we also remember that Paul did not say this or anything similar. Rather, the apostle said that while evil is real and we should not participate in actually worshiping demons, nothing is intrinsically wrong with the meats.
What do I imply then? That food offered to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? No, I imply that what pagans sacrifice they offer to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and the table of demons. Shall we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
"All things are lawful," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful," but not all things build up. Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor. Eat whatever is sold in the meat market without raising any question on the ground of conscience. For "the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof." If one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you are disposed to go, eat whatever is set before you without raising any question on the ground of conscience. But if someone says to you, "This has been offered in sacrifice," then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for the sake of conscience—I do not mean your conscience, but his. For why should my liberty be determined by someone else's conscience? If I partake with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of that for which I give thanks?
1 Corinthians 10: 19-30
Spiritual freedom restrictions
A Christian's only restrictions on doing something that could look evil but is not actually evil, are not based on the possibility that they'll actually honor a demon by accident. Instead a Christian should avoid eating because another brother, with a conscientious objection, might be hurt.
That's the catch. Freedom is what we have in Christ, Paul says. But as he himself gave up his freedom for His sake, we should take into account a Christian brother's honest difficulties.
As I disclaimed in my first column on the issue:
[L]et us assume you are a newer Christian, or truly a more-sensitive sister. Such a person could have experience with an actual pagan-saturated practice of yoga, and want to avoid it. Why? For the same reason that a new Christian with an alcoholic past might avoid any restaurant with a bar: He might be tempted to fall back into that sinful habit that dishonors the Lord he loves.
So if you had a background in New Age practices, paganism or religion-saturated yoga, I would not be telling you like this that certain parts of yoga might be okay. Instead, I would encourage you to think about where the real sin comes from — as I'm doing now. But then I would back off and let God and you make your own decisions and whether it would be sinful for you.
Will the real compromise stand up?
Yet what about Mohler, and other Christians — such as a pastor friend of mine — who either merely bypass another potential problem of the yoga issue (blaming a neutral Thing for sin), or else directly state that you simply can't have yoga's physical part without its spiritual part?
For example, Mohler seems to acknowledge an inherent neutrality of yoga-esque positions:
There is nothing wrong with physical exercise, and yoga positions in themselves are not the main issue.
… yet then immediately adds:
But these positions are teaching postures with a spiritual purpose. Consider this — if you have to meditate intensely in order to achieve or to maintain a physical posture, it is no longer merely a physical posture.
Agreed with the meditation part: any connotation, in or outside of Christendom, of meditation without a preposition (we meditate on Christ, on His Word!) comes not from Scripture but from false religion, and has no place for a Christian. It's also a tremendous waste of time.
But how can a position of the human body teach anything, especially if it is undertaken by a Christian who can and does separate it from its pagan origins?
Isn't this equivalent to saying "even if you don't eat meat in a temple as part of a false religious ceremony, the meat itself would teach you to worship idols"?
Furthering Mohler's point, a pastor acquaintance of mine — whom I much respect — asked this:
There is a difference between accidentally striking a pose and deliberately learning and imitating yoga techniques. To think that we can separate the physical from the spiritual in this matter is to not understand eastern religion.
In response I asked: "But why should we assume that what Eastern religion believes is right?"
Put another way, let's consider only two of the yoga positions, ruling out the second, which both no. 1 and no. 3 believe is wrong (i.e., Why can't I practice everything about yoga, it's okay, right? and I can meditate — without a preposition — and still love Jesus!).
- We can't separate the physical and spiritual components of yoga, so we need to avoid it all. Eastern religion says the physical and spiritual components of yoga can't be divided.
- We can indeed separate the physical and spiritual components of yoga, and perhaps assume a yoga-esque position, intentionally, for exercise, rejecting false beliefs.
Now I ask: which view here has actually bought into Eastern religious beliefs?
As for me, I say the Eastern-religious can't-divide claim is hokum, just like the notion that meat offered to idols automatically gives credit to idols wherever it goes. And while I don't believe Christians who take the Eastern-religious concepts at their word do so intentionally, I have also begun to wonder whether they're not avoiding Things not out of concern for weaker brothers, but because the Bad Guys say they've "claimed" them and the Christians just go along with it.
What testimony are Christians giving to others about where we believe sin actually originates?
By the way, quasi-sabbatical over. Back to work, now writing three entries three times a week.

With the influx of so many technologies that support our habits, many of us have become slaves to things that we may or may not be proud of. (Isn't it funny how the best tool the enemy uses against us is the power of distraction getting us involved with things that steal our time with the Father?)
In order to put this article in perspective, I needed to get to grips with the meaning of addiction; which (in my definition) is to be enslaved by something (situation, habit, person, and item) where we 'feel' the need to continually and consistently feed.
The thing I ask is this: why do we get addicted to things of the world and not things of God? Is it so enticing and somewhat 'cool' to be a part of these addictive craziness and not even know the depth of damage it causes?
Reflecting on all these with the help of a gospel song called 'Addicted' by Frank Edwards (a Nigerian born gospel artist) I needed to evaluate all my addictions to see and validate where I am in God's will. I decided to do a case study on myself and turned myself off from everything addictive so I can test my addiction levels. After a few days of withdrawal symptoms, with the help of the Holy Spirit, I began to forget and not 'itch' when those addictions were not satisfied; my flesh was finally being controlled by the Spirit! Within that time, my closeness to God, his ways and his will were clearer and more real than ever before. I saw that I was addicted to so many things that though not visibly harmful now, still contributed to my slow pace regarding achieving my goals in Christ.
Addiction is of various forms, in varying degrees and on various things. A lot of us (Christians too) struggle with addictions which are common and uncommon, some of us may not even know it is an addiction. I dare to say that anything that takes the place of God and His WORD is an addiction.
We slowly become what we hear and see and what we feed will grow. The only thing we should be addicted to is God, God and God alone!. There is so much to learn and know and because we may never know it all, we must then strive to (with the little time we have left and if Jesus Christ tarries) by spending time digging God's statues, his ways and his plans and also spend time understanding what the Kingdom is all about.
What addictions are you struggling with? Anything can be controlled by God, talk to us now through email@example.com
