Ever checked out the Izmaylova website? No? Well you should. The motion graphics are of clouds, as if you're travelling through them like a pilot flying his plane. There are also statistics in the right hand corner of the destination you 'wish' to travel to. There is a choice of Moscow, London and Paris. Why those three cities? Well, the two creative forces behind Izmaylova, Antonina Izmaylova and Nathaneal Gam, hail from Moscow and Paris, and now have a common habitual ground of London. So there you have it, locations and bearings indentified.
So what brought this pair, who are separated by 4,100 miles, together? Was it fate, destiny, serendipity? It's slightly simpler than that, it's just two individuals who share the same creative vision to constitute modern luxury. Perhaps you could call it destiny, if you take into account that Antonina's graduate collection at Central Saint Martin's was what merged her vigor with Nathaneal's, who is accountable for International Relations and promoting British Fashion Worldwide within the British Fashion Council.
Antonina has been compelled to textures and the perfect silhouette of the female form since a young age, which are reminiscent of trips to stylish boutiques accompanying her mother. Her forte is not only in fashion; she also possesses qualifications in Art, Sculpture and History. Whilst Parisian Nathaneal, continues to drive his ambition to develop Izmaylova into a luxury lifestyle group, all whilst protecting their image, beliefs and principles.
Upon realizing they shared the same ideals, objectives and dreams, the idea for 'Izmaylova' was conceived. A trip to Florence helped fortify their intention of wanting to translate a feeling of desire and emotion through fashion. They drew stimulation from Botticelli's 'Birth of Venus', Michelangelo & Leonardo da Vinci at the Uffizi Gallery and adhered to the idea of art inspiring fashion.
Their latest campaign for AW10/11 is aptly named 'Edge of Darkness', though I don't think they are referring to the lack of seasonal sunshine. "Set in a futuristic post-apocalyptic world, far beyond the realm of our imagination. This is a journey beyond fashion, as it exists in the present, taking the customer into an extraordinary experience. Fashion and craftsmanship teleported through time to a parallel universe; where the iconic woman is finally fashioned into ultimate perfection; a fusion between tough independence and ladylike poise."
This correlates well to their resolute ambition and a good understanding of commerce, "One of the dreams we had was to redefine what is considered luxury. Luxury is about being subtle it is not about being overt rather the detailing and finish the garment should speak for itself" says Izmaylova. "We're influenced by a new era with a distinctive futuristic sensibility, grandeur, grace and careful attention to detail" and these are all evident in this new Russian inspired luxury brand. Well there's always Louis Vuitton and Fendi should you need something with a brash logo, I suppose.
They don't believe in one-hit wonders that are relentlessly duplicated by the high street either "The brand epitomizes a combination of couture expertise and wearable elegance in a graceful style that is made to last. Using only the finest materials, each piece of IZMAYLOVA is hand crafted to the highest standard, every detail gently completed by our skilled couturiers. Delicate in design and completed with longevity, IZMAYLOVA garments are timeless pieces that can be treasured for years to come."
You could look at this as an anti-thesis to the status of 'fashion' and 'trends' today. There is such a fast turnaround of what is available at our disposal now; that the sentiment of buying something that lasts is now a distant memory. And hey, if you didn't catch it the first time around, surely there will be something similar next season?
Designers don't only bring out main season collections, there are the 'cruise' collections, the collections 'for when it's kind of sunny, but not quite rainy, but you definitely need a coat' collections...and in the midst of all this, Izmaylova offer something that maybe, just maybe you could pass down to generations after you. This craftsmanship is not to be discarded to the back of your wardrobe after approximately 6.5 weeks, it's the kind you store in acid-free tissue inside moth proof bags, and bring out to wear again and again. Imagine the complimentary mints you receive after a rich, heavy meal where you probably indulged in excess, and now let's revel in the refreshment the fashion world has been craving for a very long time.

I may be slightly obsessed!!!
This is a sample of what I have on hand now….
Van houtte, donut shop, dunkin doughnuts, eight o'clock, foldgers, Starbucks, tullys, Gloria jeans, caribou, Wolfgang puck, Timothy's, green mountain, bigelow, celestial seasonings.
(I'm not a big fan of caribou but keep it on hand for guests who like bolder strong coffees…. I'm more a medium and flavored coffee drinker)
I do tend to favor Timothy's and van houtte with some Gloria jeans. Green mountain is my least favorite because it tends to be a weaker coffee and tends to be more acidic… However, I really enjoy their fall/Christmas flavors like spices eggnog, French toast and gingerbread despite their weakness and acidity. (by acidity I mean makes my teeth sensitive if I have too many cups of green mountain coffees too many days in a row)(by weakness I mean I can't stretch it into 2 good cups- my second morning cup is usually a re-run through of my prior k-cup, mixing it with the bottom quarter of my first morning cup)
My water filter for the keurig came in today…
I saw a link on kohls.com for the mini keurigs in different colors….
I just have to wait until my original keurig is broken beyond redemption…..
I like the purple!!!

Perfect flavor....thanks for this easy recipe.
Being in a state where red and green chili is readily available it's hard to find a salsa recipe worthy. This was bland. Not something I would recommend to anyone.

So yummy! I added a little lemon to it, and also simmered it a little longer, close to 45 minutes, perfect!
Didn't have green tomatoes so I only used tomatillos and the salsa still turned out terrific.

Is there some weird-ass astrological thing going on? Because I would like to kick someone in the nuts.
Okay, true, I feel like that a lot at work. I swallow it, and smile, and let the world walk right over me because they pay me a lot of money. But now I'm home, and all I want to do is hurt someone.* Physically, obviously, not emotionally.* Gotta keep the day job separate from after-hours anger!
Ugh. I hate it when "8:00/9:00 to 5:30/6:00" pours over into the evening, when I usually unwind and move past it. This mood is ruining my off hours, meaning I'm going to be a bitch tomorrow, and spiral into a deepening pit of anger and resentment until I do something more inappropriate than my normal inappropriateness, which is usually idiotic comedy, not raw anger.
So... if any of you have a real need/fetish to get kicked in the balls, let me know. I have a feeling this will be hanging on for a few days, and during the day I am centrally located in Midtown Manhattan.
* - not my boyfriend, who is -- as always -- supportive and adorable. Although all of the sudden he wants to GET ON THE COMPUTER WHILE I'M USING IT!!!!!
No, I'm okay. Seriously...

Remember these babies?
Some of my fondest memories of my summer research trip to Kew three years ago revolve around the fresh fruit 'n' veg stall at Richmond Farmers' Market, which was run by this barmy and slightly despotic European chap (never did work out where from. I'm useless at accents).
Also barmy and possibly despotic, but in the nicest possible minor-public-school English-treasure way, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall just evoked all sorts of memories of that summer and its fruits with this column devoted to tomatoes.

Goa, known for the coastline which overlooks the horizon from the Arabian sea has lush flora and fauna, but it does not end there. It houses many forests, villages, rivers and backwaters. It is full of hidden gems and surprises. The more you discover it, the more there is to discover.
The back waters of Mandovi river hosts a secluded village known as Britona, which is just a few kilometers away from the airport. Casa Britona is one of its gems. Quietly tucked away and bang on the banks of the river, the 300 year old structure, converted into a heritage home is no doubt the most unexpected retreats.
I had an early breakfast meeting with the owner of Casa properties, hence I made my way nursing my hangover. And sitting on the deck by the riverside which diminishes into the forest, was as pleasant as that morning could have ever gotten. The tour of the little home consisting of eight uniquely designed rooms by the owner and various acclaimed interior designers was a lesson in design and artistry. The lengths of details of the wall paintings and antique furniture sourced from around the country is sincerely admirable.
Originally designed to be the personal holiday home of the owner, it definitely has a warmth and an inviting vibe to it. I could imagine festivities, celebrations, romance, intimacy, spending hours on the deck chatting and laughing, taking a dip in the pool, going fishing in the river, hiring the yacht/ boat from the yacht club close by and spending the holidays with close friends and extended family. It is a place where you spend exclusive time with those special people.

Crafting time
Went over to the creative crafts show at gateshead stadium this morning. I was only there an hour but i'd got exactly what i wanted so it wasn't worth staying. I havent done any form of papercrafting since june when my mojo went on a long holiday and didn't come back ....................until today :-) After lunch i decided to head upstairs and have a play with the flitterglue and mega flakes i had bought. What fun, especially when i sneezed over the pot LOL I think the flakes are still dancing around in the breeze up there LOL But it was exactly what i needed and i decided to make some xmas cards. Six are completely made and i have another 30 images stamped and flaked all ready to be made up. It's been a long time since june but i hope this is the start of me getting back to my crafting fun!

Mr. Robot finale: The creator talks the biggest moments of the summer's best new show – Vox:
I always look back the Arab Spring. I'm Egyptian. When I went there after that went down, my cousins were in their late teens, early 20s, and were very angry. You channel that anger into this really positive movement to effect change in society. That to me is something that's always necessary when you want to effect a big outcome like that in the world.
In a weird way, when I look at Elliot and there's this young, angry outlook of society, I see a part of me in there, like that younger part of me that I'm happy with, that I'm encouraged by, that all young people might have. Going into the world with that bold brashness is something I think is awesome and amazing and totally encouraged. But I also see the flaws and I know that in 10, 15 years, that worldview might evolve and change. I love Elliot for it, even though I'm aware of the flaws. I find it encouraging that young people could have that passion.

Clash of the Titans' Izabella Miko on 'Glowing Gods' and Eagle Attacks: VIDEO
Let's return now to Movieline's roving video powerhouse Carly Steel, who had the happy fortune recently to catch up with Clash of the Titans co-star Izabella Miko. The actress plays the film's Athena, goddess of wisdom and war -- and apparently the repository for a massive python that Miko wasn't quite ready to share the screen (and especially her shoulders) with. But that was just the beginning of her animal problems. Carly gets the full story from Miko -- along with an appeal for environmentally conscious single men with a spare $100,000 lying around -- after the jump.

Taekwondo History
Evidence of the practice of Tae Kwon Do had been traced back far as the year 37 B.C., through examination of ancient paintings found in royal burial tombs located in northern Korea. These tombs were built during the Koguryo kingdom period, when Korean territory included much of southern Manchuria and eastern China.
Today, Tae Kwon Do is practiced by more than 30 million students, in over 120 countries around the world. It has become the most popular marital art form in history.

It's definitely not among the most in-demand sports cars today, having been largely forgotten even in enthusiast circles. Remember Nissan's Z-car? It has been around in current 370Z form for over eight years now, and we're thankful/surprised that Nissan hasn't already culled the brawny RWD sports car.
Not just that, but a new one is coming to refresh the franchise. Car and Driver reports that a concept previewing the next-generation Z-car will be revealed at this year's Tokyo Motor Show.
The motoring rag says that the future production Fairlady will have similar proportions to the outgoing coupe, which means a wide stance, long hood and pushed back cab (2011 Esflow Concept pictured above, illustration only). It adds that the next Z will sport edgier styling, including a gaping front end that takes cues from the GT-R facelift. Apparently, it will ride on a shorter wheelbase courtesy of the Infiniti Q60's FR-L platform.
It is said that of the three powertrains that will be available, a twin-turbo 3.0 litre V6 from Infiniti's Red Sport cars will be the flagship motor. The new VR engine makes 400 hp at 6,400 rpm and 475 Nm of torque from 1,600 to 5,200 rpm in the Q50 and Q60. It will be paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic.
This boosted V6 engine is 700 cc smaller than the 370Z's naturally aspirated VQ V6, and it's lighter too. C/D mentions the Porsche 718 Boxster S and BMW M2 as possible rivals for the hottest Z. A tasty proposition.
The report adds that in addition to the flagship motor, an entry-level 3.0 litre V6 with 300 hp and a hybrid variant – expected to use the same V6 alongside an electric motor for up to 500 hp – are on the cards. Expect a new Fairlady Z in 2019, the report says. If correct, this is good news.

You know how you get caught up in the mundane, routine daily part of your life, you tend to dwell on the small, insignificant things that annoy you. Then, WHAM!, something happens to shake you up and wake you up. This week we received a phone call that one of my Husband's life-long friends was killed in an accident. Suddenly what seems so important at times, now fades into the background, because you have to focus on dealing with this tragedy. So, why at a site called simple wealth am I addressing an issue like this? If you have made a choice to live a simpler lifestyle you are probably not living paycheck to paycheck, so when an unexpected event forces it's way into your life, you do not have to react with panic. My Husband has the freedom to be able to help out the family during this difficult time, without the pressure of losing time off from work. He also has the freedom to take some time to himself, if needed, to adjust to what has happened.
Ask yourself, are you in a position to be able to deal with this type of situation without panic over finances? What if something happened to you? What will you leave behind for your family? The freedom to mourn and adjust, or a financial and emotional disaster? I know these are things no one likes to think about, but that does not prevent them from happening. Take some time to think about how you would want things to be when you are faced with this type of situation. This will help guide you on your path to simple wealth and remind you why you are making the choices that you are.

1000 square feet condo, 2 bed room 2 bathrooms and a small dining room off the living room. I would like the walls done in latex the same colour as the existing paint so as to avoid doing two coats. How ever there are a few small spots that may need some small repairs.I also need the kitchen cub-boards and under the sink painted in oil.
We have recently purchased a 3000 sq foot home and would like to have the entire main and upper floors repainted. We would like to use Benjamin Moore designer White to paint over the existing darker colors.
Baseboards not required, but a few sets of French Doors and a wood plank sunroom would be included.
Good morning,
I would like to request a quote from your company for the following services:
1. Interior painting of 2 bathroom ceilings and 1 wall (by small staircase)
2. Exterior painting of our house's window trims and the garage door
3. If interested, we also need help to clear out some clutter around the house, and make a few minor home repairs (e.g. one broken wooden panel on our fence, replace one wooden trim on a window).
We are available most of Oct 1 to Oct 3 (daytime) if you need to stop by for an estimate or to start the work.
Priority is on the exterior of the house -- so we can paint before it snows.
Thank you,
We are looking at repainting the house and have started to look at paint colours but have not made any final decisions. We are looking for someone that could offer ideas and help us decide on materials and colours. There is also some brick on the house and are not sure what to do with it.
We currently live in a four level split in Midnapore and need to replace the roofing on the house and garage. The total living area above grade is 1280 sq ft, and the garage is 22 x 24. We are not sure what kind of materials we are interested in and not sure where to start.
2 storey home 1800 sqft main level, triple garage. All cedar siding. Looking for two options: 1) repaint complete exterior (trim in 2nd color), 2) repaint trim only (windows, doors, soffits, fascia, eavestroughs, downspouts). Includes underside of upper level deck (150sqft) - see photo 4
House is 30 years old but has been repainted within (guessing) last 10 years.
Hi there,
I am looking to paint the exterior of my house/carport/shed/garage. It is a regular double size garage. The sidings are metal. Additional 'optional' paint required - fence.
Note: I am replacing the front corner windows as well.
Could you please contact me to setup a quote/estimate?
Paint the wooden exterior areas on 1950's split. Home is partially stucco. The wooden areas are a vertical wood siding around the top part of the house and horizontal wood siding on the front the just wraps around the sides a few feet. There is also a gable end and two doors. These are all to be painted the same color that they are now. There is some peeling paint on the front horizontal siding. I have the paint for all of these wooden areas. (Behr Premium Plus Ultra). Most of the windows have some white aluminum wrap, but the parts that are not wraped should be repaired and painted. I guess you will have to come out and see those. Would like to get someone started on this project ASAP. Thanks.
I have a client in Strathmore who requires quite a bit of exterior painting.
-Scrape & Paint North exposure siding
-Scrape & Paint west exposure Fascia
-Scrape & Paint small window trim
-Scrape & Paint medium window trim (north & west)
-Scrape & Paint large window trim (north & west)
-Scrape & Paint patio door trim (West)
-Quonset (40x64) Scrape & Paint north exposure including doors
-Quonset (30x43) Scrape & Paint north exposure including man door
Please contact me if you would like to provide an estimate for this job.
Paint colors will be matched to the existing unless homeowner states otherwise.
Please email me for more information on this potential job.
Decision will be based on timeliness, quality and price.
Thank you.
We have a 2 storey home with walkout that requires the exterior trim including around windows (and small white shake section) to be painted on the front, sides (if applicable), and back of the home on the upper levels (beyond our reach).
We would like a trim painting quote separated into different sections (as follows) in case we decide to proceed with the whole project rather than just getting the upper level trim completed:
1) Paint Garage door and trim, front door and trim, all window/trim on the front of house, and small white shake section on front of house
2) Upper level trim (beyond our reach) and small white shake section on front of house only
3) All Window/trim on back/side (if applicable) of house
4) Window trim on back/side of house beyond our reach only
Thank you in advance for your assistance. Have a fantastic day!!
I would like to get a quote for a number of projects in our house, including:
New steps and railing to sunken living room
New sill and tiling on French doors
New Crown moulding and casing around kitchen cupboards
Painting of 8 interior doors (new)
Final coat painting of casing & baseboards
Painting of bathroom
Probably a few more items once we do the walk around
We'd like to have all of the above items done as soon as possible, and separately we'd like a quote on the basement development as well.
Need an Finisher to provide and estimate on finishing work for a basement development. The basement is about 1000 square feet with one bedroom, a bathroom, main living area and then a storage room. I have a plan that you can work off to provide me with an accurate estimate. Looking for baseboard work, door way trim, Window Trim, and hanging of doors.We take possession of the house in May of 2018 and would like to get going as soon as possible.
I have 2 walls that are hip high. One is about 2 feet long at the front entrance. The other separates the bathroom to the living room. It is about 2.5 feet long. Both are needing to be finished with some crown moulding and flat top instead of the painted drywall. How much to cap the walls?
I also need my house painted. 1475 sq feet. 2 stories.
We are looking to redo our flooring, currently hardwoods in kitchen, dining and hall, carpet on stairs, upstairs and living areas, ceramic in master bath and main bath upstairs. We will be buying wood grain porcelain tile for areas where hardwood and ceramic tile are now and laminate for stairs, and all bedrooms, living areas. Want to also repaint and replace baseboards where required. House is about 2400 square feet, 7 years old so subfloors should be fine, will remove carpets and baseboards ourselves and will purhase materials ourselves.
Painting should be one color, similar to beige taupe that is existing, will do minor repair work in advance
Please provide a ballpark estimate for painting and install and timelines for work. Want to get this all done in August
Thank you
We are looking to have the entire interior of our condo painted. It is 1400 square feet. It is two bedrooms, a den, one full bathroom, one 1/2 bathroom, 2 stairwells, kitchen, livingroom. The walls are in good condition with little need for drywall repair as the home was built in 2000. We do not require ceilings, closets, or window casings to be painted. 3 exterior metal doors require painting. We will move furniture to the center of each room and will remove any light switches and fixtures from walls.
It's time to refresh! Would like quotes to repaint main floor, stairwell and upstairs landing, perhaps including upstairs main bathroom. Main floor consists of entryway, family room, kitchen and front living/dining room. Approx 700 sq ft on main floor. Most patching has been done. Some sanding, additional small fill ins may be required. Would entertain colour suggestions as am looking for something new.

We have approx. 800 sq. ft. of stucco ceiling in our 1970's home. This ceiling was last painted about 20 yrs ago and is on the main floor of a bi-level. This is a smoker's house and will require "good" coverage. I have heard of a primer/sealer for these types of jobs, but know nothing about these products. We are not wealthy so cost is a big consideration, but quality is of utmost importance.
My 2000 sqf home needs to get a new paint, looks walls needs just 2 coat and we go with light baige (which was mid baige before). Half of ceiling needs spray and half of that need roller. Please tell me your estimate if it comes with paint cost or without. I need it get start soon like next 10 days.

Faith and Its Defenders
July 18, 2011
The paperback edition of David Fergusson's book Faith and Its Critics (Oxford, 2011) has been published. It will probably reach many readers who remain intrigued by the God debates.
The book is well-titled, as Fergusson is vastly more concerned about faith rather than God. God would be able to take care of Himself, one might suppose, should He care to undertake any direct self-defense in these troubled times. No, it is the welfare of religious believers' faith that has Fergusson's full attention.
Fergusson is deeply troubled by recent atheist criticism against faith, and he judges that criticism as misdirected, unfair, and unhelpful. Atheism misdirects its criticisms against faith, in his view, because religious belief is not really based on knowledge that God actually exists. Atheism is unfair towards faith, because faith permits so many beautiful things like appreciation for religious music and art. Atheism is unhelpful about faith, because religion generally keeps people healthier and more virtuous than they otherwise would be. On the last point, this book is especially disappointing. Fergusson offers no real evidence that people would be generally worse off without religion, aside from the truism that religious people would be unhappy if their religion were taken away. Whether the world as a whole would be a better place without religion's fractious and violent disruptions -- not to mention religion's reliable capacity to keep people ignorant and unthinking about their lives -- is not a question taken up by Fergusson.
By selecting the "New Atheists" as his opponents, especially Richard Dawkins, Fergusson is standing up as an intellectual against rival intellectuals, battling for the soul of religion. There is an intellectualized sort of faith to be defended, in Fergusson's view. No blind, intuitive, or inspired faith is defended in his book. What is it about faith that Fergusson finds so valuable? It isn't the usual sort of religious faith that one might suppose must be involved, the sort of devout faith that arises from some personal communion with the divine. There is no defense of mystical religious experience or miraculous revelation forthcoming – no "born again" conversion or communication from God holds any interest for Fergusson. Direct contact from God by Word or Deed seems either ruled out or just ignored. Mysticism does not help faith in this book, and scripture is treated as just wisdom literature.
Fergusson helpfully informs his readers in chapter six that no intelligent person should take anything in the Bible literally. What, then, is faith to do with such a strange book? As a good Protestant, he can't recommend any established church (even his own) to authoritatively interpret the Bible for the flocks. But believers aren't entirely left on their own to deal with this confusing and messy Bible. We still have "the church," apparently. Fergusson doesn't exactly say which "church" or denomination he has in mind. However, he does seem to know what this "church" is good for. The best that "the church" can do is to pick out high ethical ideals from the Bible and then use these as hermeneutical "hooks" to fish out similar Biblical passages to round out an ethical lifestance. Not surprisingly, Fergusson expressly favors the high ethical ideals that one can vaguely locate in a few of Jesus's sayings, but are easily found in recent humanistic and progressive liberalism. Fergusson's "church" evidently is one that has only existed since the late Victorian Age. Fergusson even admits that enlightenment and secular ideals of human dignity and equality have proven necessary to drag Christianity decisively away from approvals of aristocracy and slavery in the Bible.
His confession that Christianity's ethics needed guidance from humanist ethics and secular politics is the only appreciation for non-religious thought that Fergusson can muster. When it comes to faith, nothing atheism has to say has any value. Although Fergusson complains at length about the New Atheism's denial that God exists, this book is not a theological tract explaining valid arguments for the existence of God. Fergusson defends "belief in belief" rather than belief in God. A defender of "belief in belief," as Dawkins and Daniel Dennett have pointed out, highlights the many supposed benefits of sustained belief for the believer, quite apart from the question of that belief's truth. It just doesn't matter if belief in God is actually false – it only matters that staunch believers can keep believing that it is not false. And in Fergusson's view, religious believers don't ever have to worry about being proven wrong about God. They needn't worry, not because God-belief is rationally supportable in itself (it isn't, as Fergusson at length comes to admit), but rather because those pesky rationalists and atheists remain unable to prove their case that God does not exist.
Fergusson's defense of faith as a personal worldview and commitment revolves entirely around faith's seeming reasonableness and practical utility for each believer. Whether a believer might actually be correct in thinking that God exists is an entirely secondary matter. Where the question of God existence has Fergusson's attention, in a few pages scattered across the book's second chapter, God actually receives very little help. Even the better theological attempts at arguing for God (of the sort examined in my own book The God Debates) aren't supplied. This book only gives the most simplistic arguments for God, far less sophisticated than even the arguments for God examined by Dawkins, for example. Fergusson won't really argue God, because his advantage lies in superficiality. Fergusson most strenuously defends agnosticism – God is not a knowable entity, yet no one can know that God does not exist. How convenient for faith. Faith therefore obtains a special privileged place among worldviews – it enjoys the unique advantages that it supplies "explanations" for everything, and it cannot be proven false. Fergusson sternly complains against atheism that there is no single vantage point that privileges one worldview or explanation over the rest (p. 70). But just a few pages earlier (p. 57), he happily privileges the explanation that "God did it" over any other account for the universe's existence.
Proud that everything about the world, even its intelligibility, points to a divine creator's hand, Fergusson thinks that theology holds a permanent evidential advantage over science. However, he is blissfully unaware of atheism's logical point that any "explanation" that supposedly explains everything actually explains nothing. Where no possible evidence could ever count against a hypothesis, that hypothesis not only loses any possible truth-value, it loses most of its intelligibility. All that is left to the "God hypothesis" is a vaguely intuitive need for something, anything, to take care of this universe, and Fergusson accordingly elevates this juvenile emotional instinct to high intellectual status. Fergusson repeatedly praises religious believers for supposing that their faith and only their faith holds all the answers to the biggest metaphysical and existential questions.
Needless to say, Fergusson has no specific advice about which religion might be more right than the rest, although he is happy to quote from the usual assortment of Catholic and Protestant theologians when convenient. The fact that all their theologies have severe disagreements among them doesn't disturb Fergusson in the least. Truth is not at stake, when it comes to theology. Not even theological coherence really matters. For example, Fergusson has no difficulty accommodating a God who loves life and loves diversity, yet decides to use the bloody and wasteful method of evolution by natural selection to eventually produce human beings at the pinnacle of all life, who promptly kill each other for having diverse religions.
Thank goodness for intellectuals like Fergusson, who contribute nothing new to the God debates except the repetitive drumbeat that God is unknowable and no one can win the debate. With metaphysical doubt enshrined in place, and no truth anywhere to worry about, religious believers can just keep their faith in belief. Fergusson does not exactly defend blind faith, but he does defend shadowed faith, where people can keep dimly blundering, feeling confident that no one can point to the light. Deep in the shadows, only inertia matters, not direction. Everyone can ultimately be a skeptic about God, but that's fine for Fergusson, since lack of knowledge about God is precisely what keeps the faith enterprise going. The difference between Fergusson's shadowy faith and atheism's skepticism is not actually a difference about God, but about the overall value of "belief in belief."
Fergusson is a confirmed pragmatist about religion – he looks to the steady practical value of religion for life, and anything that lacks sound value by his high church standards isn't really religion. Fergusson's theological stance falls within the worldview of liberal modernism. Modernism demands that each individual's own personal intellect should largely have its way about matters of ultimate concern such as religion, and its liberal wing holds that one's committed lifestance should enjoy respect and tolerance, unless it involves breaching proper social decorum or the law. Liberal modernism has long been an option, standing between conservative theologies demanding exclusive validity and social reign on the one side, and progressive humanisms entirely liberated from religion on the other. Christian liberal modernism takes in what it can from western science, and modifies religion in light of enlightened ethics. That is why Fergusson only cares to defend the "right" sort of faith, one that has intellectual privilege and good breeding. Other kinds of faith, the kinds that hate and destroy modernism, don't count as faiths worth defending, since they must be just barbaric aberrations. Fergusson's admission that it has been modernism's humanistic ideals and secular protections which has dragged Christianity in the better direction is not ironic so much as honest. Fergusson is a modernist intellectual at heart, after all.
In summary, the New Atheist criticisms against faith still stand, and they even receive confirmation from Fergusson's own admissions. God cannot be known. Agnosticism ends up as the default foundation for religious faith. The lingering "belief in belief" can only be judged for its practical effects on believers and the rest of the world. And the standard of judgment upon belief must ultimately be ethical humanism, not divine revelation. Atheism's epistemic skepticism and humanism's wise ethics constructed the raised pulpit in which Fergusson stands to taunt the New Atheism. Despite his borrowed intellectual height, he cannot see as far. With his rose-colored glasses firmly atop his nose, Fergusson can only see a little beyond his own nose, as he gazes approvingly upon that enlightened realm of intellectual Protestantism that was always good enough for the Church of Scotland and its brightly puritan and middle-class bourgeoisie. Fergusson is best advised to take off those glasses and look deeper into the darkest realms of faith to perceive the dangerous monsters that still lurk there.

Groundhog Day for Dillon after another lead slips away
SEAN DILLON isn't about to argue with him. Not only is Mixu Paatelainen his manager, but the Dundee United defender knows there would be no point pretending they are currently anything other than mere soft touches in the eyes of the opposition.
That's what the beleaguered United boss compared his bottom-of-the-table side to in the wake of Saturday's damaging defeat to Hamilton which left them trailing second-bottom Motherwell by seven points, and there is little doubt teams the length and breadth of the country now believe they are there for the taking such are their deficiencies especially in defence.
United, not for the first time this season, contrived to blow a valuable lead as they plunged to another loss in the league despite Billy McKay giving them a first-half lead before their secondhalf collapse summed up their season so far
Paatelainen, whose managed just one win since replacing departed boss Jackie McNamara back in October, confessed after the game "crisis" wasn't an exaggeration in describing their current domestic plight which sees them facing an almighty fight to retain top-flight survival.
Gavin Gunning's own goal sparked their late downfall before Ziggy Gordon's stylish 79th minute winner piled more misery on the Tayside outfit.
And defender Dillon, one of the more experienced stalwarts within their ranks, was refusing to hide from reality in the aftermath of this latest setback, by admitting Paatelainen called it right with his frank post-match assessment which compared them to an easy target.
He said: "You can't argue with him. I am not sure how many times we have only conceded one this season.
"When.we have conceded one, we have generally let in a second and that has been the case in the last two weeks anyway. That is disappointing but it is just something we need to put right."
United seemed to be heading for only their second win since Paatelainen took over at then helm, after McKay's firsthalf opener had given them hope. Dubliner Dillon was left to scratch his head once more as he attempted to explain the reasons behind their on-field malaise which is threatening their existence as a Premiership club.
He said: "It is just so frustrating. You are getting the same answers out of me all the time at the moment.
"But I think you can see there are improvements being made the way we played today.
"However, we have conceded another two bad goals. So as much as it is disappointing that we didn't take our opportunities up front, we have let in another two poor goals."
Meanwhile, Hamilton's Lucas Tagliapietra has revealed they've have set their sights on a winning run, now that they're back in the groove. Martin Canning's men celebrated their first victory in two months and now they've savoured that winning feeling again, Brazilian star Tagliapietra insists they're looking onwards and upwards.
Tagliapietra, who helped his side leapfrog Ross County into fifth place, said: "Hopefully we can go on a winning run. That has got to be the aim.
"It's very tight in the table. I think we have the quality to keep fighting."

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude. Denis Waitley
What is it that makes you happy? We all have different things that make us happy. I know for me I am happier on a day to day basis when I practice gratitude, just for the simple things that I have in my life, I often need to remind myself of things that are good and I know that when I do that my life does indeed seem sunnier.


text: I've been wanting to do this for a few years now, but something has always been in the way. This year I finally said that nothing was going to get in my way, so I signed up and took the test. 92% on the test and now I'm slowly getting everything around for the school. I probably won't be getting in until January, especially since their January classes have clinicals that are only half an hour away, instead of an hour and twenty minutes away. I've calculated my gas to be $5k for the year. The school is $13k, and I am eligible for $5.5k in grants. So, I'll be about $13k in debt, with no job or anything! But, all should look up once everything comes into place. I just need to get my references and send in for my transcripts. My old bosses told me when I left that if I needed a reference, they'd give me an excellent one. My transcripts were excellent, state testing I was ranked at 99 and 98% for three or four of the categories (I forget how many there were) and one 76% (math, lol) in the entire state. So, I really don't have any excuse not to be getting into the program. After my references and transcripts are sent, I need to get CPR training for the healthcare professional (which is something like $30), bloodwork and a physical, and then I think I'm good. I just need to light a fire under my butt and get everything done!

I feel old. I'm 32 and surrounded by hundreds upon hundreds of young men and women.
To clarify, I'm queuing to enter Barcelona World Games, specifically their retro gaming event, RetroBarcelona, but I'm honestly stunned not to see anybody over the age of about 21. I mean, retro gaming usually attracts retro gamers, right?
I've queued for the best part of an hour but as we turn the corner, can finally see the entrance and the large sign that welcomes us: "solo centros educativos" – or "schoolkids only". SH*T. Wrong queue. I'm actually quite relieved.
Shuffled off to the correct entrance (Plaça Catalunya, people), a good few hundred yards away, I'm finally inside.
Boasting 155 exhibitors; 1000+ game stations and 53,000m2 of floor space, Barcelona Games World welcomes around 125,000 people each year and features a large number of themed exhibits from Nintendo, Xbox, Sony plus a whole host of publishers and indie developers.
What I'm really here for though is RetroBarcelona.
Ascending the elevator to the top floor – thankfully with visitors of all ages – I was amazed to see the size of RetroBarcelona – huge, much larger than the pictures on the website make out. Being one of the first inside, I had the luxury of choosing which console or arcade unit to play, and there were hundreds to choose from.
Although I can't remember them all, some of the more notable consoles on offer include the Nintendo (NES); Super Nintendo; GameCube (some with four controllers for Smash Bros); N64; Sega Megadrive; Commodore; Atari and a large amount of other systems dating all the way back to the earliest Pong video game units.
One of the vendors explained that the consoles, arcade units and games are brought by their respected owners – enthusiasts, who receive no financial reward for doing so. As with most enthusiasts, they do it for the love of their hobby and to share the experience with other like-minded individuals.
With so much to see, and play, here's an idea of some of the more notable things on offer:
- 250 consoles and classic systems
- A museum – detailing a wide array of consoles from the earliest machines, to the Virtual Boy, to more recent units.
- The creator of PacMan – here for a meet and greet with fans
- A marketplace – a vast number of games, consoles and gaming merchandise for sale
- Tournaments – MarioKart and Street Fighter battles, for prizes
- 6000m2 of nostalgia
RetroBarcelona also houses the Video Games for Food programme by ASUPIVA. In exchange for non-perishable food, ASUPIVA will trade video games with you, and all collected food goes to local food banks in Barcelona. A very noble cause and an easy one to get behind.
Finally, if you're in the market for buying some retrogoodness, you'd be wise to bring plenty of cash. Common, obscure and hard-to-find titles and systems are aplenty, and for the most part all are reasonably priced.
There's still time to attend this year's festival (if you're reading this on the day it's published) and i'd highly recommend going if you're a fan of gaming – new or retro.
Barcelona World Games runs every year between October 5th and October 8th
14 euros for a one-day ticket
35 for a three-day ticket
Fira de Barcelona, Montjuïc recint, Avinguda Reina Maria Cristina

We're still in Vegas this week as the Top 20 are chopped to the Top 10. Now "America" (or anyone else with a smart phone or internet access) can vote for their favorites. There is a new power voting method with the American Idol app. You can place 50 votes with the app or on the AI website.
Zoanette Johnson- "What's Love Got To Do With It" by Tina Turner.
Poor Zoanette, nobody told her she can't really sing, especially not Tina Turner. She's way off pitch and there's the crazy warbling sound again. Would someone please stop her. And there it is, the judges have officially thrown her under the AI bus. They all hate the performance. It wouldn't be so bad if they had been honest with her before now. The highlight of this performance- Zoanette's new wig.
Breanna Steer- "Flaws and All" by Beyonce.
I don't know the song, but it sounds pretty. Kind of mellow for this stage of the game, but not terrible. Keith thinks it's a good performance. Nicki hates it and says that was totally the wrong song. Randy and Mariah think it was a safe choice.
Aubrey Cleland- "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie.
I like the girl, but the song was bland. Keith wishes the song had some moments. Nicki loves her (we don't know about the song). Randy says she has a Rihanna vibe. Mariah says she has multi-platinum potential. I wonder if they were listening to the same performance I was.
Janelle Arthur- "If I Can Dream" by Elvis.
Why don't I know this song? It's definitely country. It sound ok but it felt like she was missing something. No big moments in the song. Keith loves her classic country voice. Nicki says "You are a little marshmallow that I want to eat." Randy loves the old throwback thing in her voice. Mariah says she has an "America's Sweetheart" vibe.
Tenna Torres- Lost Lyrics" by Faith Hill.
She is wearing an ugly dress. I can't understand half of the words. She is distracted by the camera and has pitch problems. Over all- blech. Keith loves the song choice but caught the camera distracting her. Nicki loves her hair and her boobs (no idea about song). Randy says nicely done (obviously he was distracted too.) Mariah loved the song choice and the richness of her lower register.
Angie Miller- "Never Gone" by Colton Dixon.
Angie is at the piano and killing the song. She will be a Christian artist for sure. Keith says "That was beautiful." Nicki "the trumpets should sound when you walk into the room little girl." Randy "America, a star is born on that stage right now." Mariah loved the song choice and was happy she was back at the piano.
Amber Holcomb- "I Believe in You and Me" by Whitney Houston.
Amber obviously didn't see the article by Brian Mansfield about the 10 Commandments of American Idol. Don't sing Whitney. I'm surprised. She doesn't sound bad. This isn't a major power ballad so that helps. Keith says it was the perfect song for her. Nicki loves the runs. Randy "Amber is in it to win it." Mariah "You are one of my favorites."
Kree Harrison- "Stronger" by Faith Hill.
Wow, this is even better than Angie. Kree nails those really high notes. Keith loves it. Nicki says Kree is her wife (yuck). Randy says she's in it to win it. Mariah is always surprised by her.
Adriana Latonio- "Stand Up For Love" by Destiny's Child.
I have never heard this song before. I don't like it for Idol. way to schmaltzy. She is trying to be Jessica Sanchez and it's not happening. And I didn't like Jessica that much either. This is a dull song. Keith is nervous about the song choice. Nicki says that was very pageant performance and suggests she work at it some more and come back next year. Randy "You were boring." Maraih says she needed to be more soulful. It was the wrong song.
Candice Glover- "Ordinary People" by John Legend.
Finally a contemporary song from her. Nice job. I like it. Keith loves her blend of old soul and contemporary. Nicki just salutes her. Randy "I'm learning listening to you." and suggest we might need a wildcard or something. (foreshadowing???) Mariah is team Candice.
And there you have it. Now America votes.
My votes go to Angie, Kree and Candice. To round out the 5, I pick Amber and Janelle.
Tonight we hear from the guys and Thursday we get the results for all.

Mr Rontreewas the victim of age discrimination; he got compensation after using Michael Lewin in London.
Mr Rontreewas forced to resign after working for the same company for 16 years after he was the victim of age discrimination.
Our client had worked as a compliance officer until he was internally promoted to his current position of compliance manager which he had held for the past 11 years.
A manager had been internally promoted who had previously had an issue with our client out of work. He used the fact that Mr Rontree was nearly at retirement age as a reason to ignore his ideas and take any credit for his suggestions as his own.
I have had a similar case of age discrimination; can I make a claim using Michael Lewin to get compensation on my behalf in London?
Mr Rontreeinvolved Michael Lewin after being told about our services by his daughter. He has been delighted to find that Michael Lewin take on the claim on a no win no fee basis.
He has received an apology for the way in which he was treated by the owner of the company and he has been astonished by the amount of compensation that he has been awarded.
If you feel that you can claim because of age discrimination call Michael Lewin's expert team of lawyers about compensation in London on:0844 499 9302.

Aunt Gabs
Over the holidays Wife's best friend came to visit. I'll call her Gabs cuz she and Wife can talk for about 20 hours straight when they see each other.
Gabs blew into town with a lot of snow, just what a California girl needs when she comes to the friendly state of Iowa. In fact, I had to pull her out of a ditch when she got to the house.
In spite of that rough welcoming, when she got in the house you could see the sunny skies that she brought with her. With happiness shining out of her eyes and bursting from her smile she could warm the whole house and brighten the weekend. She looked fabulous and lighthearted and dominated the conversation with cheer.
Gabs and Kat had only met once before when Kat was a month old but Kat took to her like old true friends. Gabs of course spoiled her with laughter and gifts and Kat captured Gabs heart with her impish smile.
It is always good to see Gabs and we don't see her often enough. Back in her home, Gabs changes lives for the better with one class of students at a time. She is responsible for dozens if not hundreds of children having better skills and values as they move forward through life. She works with whole families from time to time when they have struggles. Goodness permeates her very being.
She went back into the cold that evening and drove back to her father's house. Maybe Wife will be able to visit her this summer and introduce her to Squawk.
