Richard Dawkins was hacked [updated]
by PhilipJ on 17 June 2008
On Twitter, anyway. Twitter is a venue for "microblogging", or posting, in 140 characters or less, some commentary. That Richard Dawkins signed up for an account at all is interesting, but last night his account was evidently hacked by a self-proclaimed Christian to try to reach some of Dawkins' followers. Before it gets cleaned up, here's a screenshot of the page as of this morning:
If that's a bit too small to read, here it is reproduced (in non-140 character-limited form):
While I still have 1700 of you paying attention, I just wanted to say: Whatever you believe, respect others beliefs. It's not wrong to be kind to people who don't believe the same as you. You don't have to be militant atheists. People who claim to be Christians can be hypocrites, but they're just people, and all people make mistakes. Try to be good to one another. That is my message of peace to all of you. Love one another. It's ok. Consider that being hostile towards others has never won any followers. Richard Dawkins is just an old man trying to leave behind a legacy. Just like I, a Chrisitan do not follow Jerry Falwell or Pat Robertson, don't be mislead by someone just because they share your belief system. It's easy to be against people who are different than you, but try not to be like that. Take the high road, unlike RD.
Very strange. I don't find Richard Dawkins to be particularly hateful towards people who are religious, even in The God Delusion (despite the somewhat inflammatory title).
If you want to see what happens next, you can follow Dawkins' on Twitter here.
Update — Nothing to see here afterall. Commenter Mark pointed out that this was a fake account to begin with. That makes the whole thing even stranger.

Seems to have actually been an impostor. Had me fooled with references to book talk in Edinburgh, to his assistant Josh, &c. Cf. http://richarddawkins.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=48137&p=1008649&hilit=twitter&sid=9511ee92896f250fa84609529176a2d2#p1006345

This guy is pretty interesting. He's busy apologizing now to all of the twitter-ers, and sort of politely bantering back and forth with them. Pretty clever.

"I don't find Richard Dawkins to be particularly hateful towards people who are religious, even in The God Delusion (despite the somewhat inflammatory title)."
You might want to do a bit more looking into what Richard Dawkins says about religious people and religion. At least some of what he says can be justifiably defined as "hateful" but, even when his words are not outright "hateful", Richard Dawkins exudes contempt for religion and God believing people. He is incredibly condescending and regularly makes statements to the effect that atheists are more intelligent than religious people. I dare say that he comes across as an Atheist Supremacist if I may coin that phrase.

I've done my fair share of Dawkins reading. I don't find I disagree with too much of what he says, and I certainly don't find much of it hateful.
In fact, the tone of your own comments at the link you provided seem far worse than anything I recall Dawkins writing. Either way, thanks for dropping by.
- Robin Edgar 3714 days ago #
I suggest that you look beyond Richard Dawkins' books and read some interviews that have been published or watch videos of interviews etc. Richard Dawkins can be very offensive and should not be surprised if people respond to his offensiveness by being a bit rude about him.

At some point in your life – maybe even recently during this flu season – you've likely been plagued with fever, sore throat, cough, muscle aches and/or congestion.
You may have reached for a different medicine to treat each symptom, depending on the order in which they began and their severity. What you may not have realized is that one ingredient, acetaminophen, was likely found in each medication.
Commonly known as Tylenol, acetaminophen is found in pain relievers, fever reducers, sleep aids, and cough, cold and allergy medications. In total, it is found in more than 600 different over-the-counter and prescription medications making it the most common drug ingredient in America.
When taken in correct doses, acetaminophen is safe to consume. When consumed in excess, however, it can cause serious liver damage. In fact, acetaminophen is the No. 1 cause of acute liver failure in the United States.
If you have ever taken multiple medicines to treat each individual cold or flu symptom, or have taken one medicine for a backache and one medicine for a cold, you likely ran the risk of damaging your liver.
Unfortunately, some of the symptoms of liver damage can be easily confused with flu symptoms: loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, general sense of not feeling well or sleepiness. If you think you have taken or given too much acetaminophen, contact your physician or go to an emergency room immediately.
So, how can you take acetaminophen carefully?
According to the National Institutes of Health, you should not exceed 4,000 mg of acetaminophen in one day.
You should talk to your doctor before taking it, especially if you consume three or more alcoholic drinks per day, have liver disease or are taking the blood thinner warfarin. Parents should adhere to medication directions, especially for children aged two through 11; and acetaminophen should never be given to children two years old or younger.
Most importantly, never take more than one medication that contains acetaminophen at a time. Look for keywords including: APAP, acetam, acetamin and other abbreviated versions of acetaminophen.
Read labels and follow directions carefully; never take more than recommended and never take for longer than recommended. When in doubt, speak to a pharmacist or your physician.

My internet search for the answer led me to Perfect Bodies Equal Perfect Sex on Christianity Today. Teri Looney (which would totally be my pen name if I wanted to write about keeping sex alive in Christian marriage) writes:
"I remember feeling queasy the first time I heard the idea: if your love life seems stale, send the kids to a neighbor's house, prepare a candlelight dinner, and greet your man at the front door swathed only in Saran Wrap. First of all, Saran Wrap isn't cheap and I'm a size 12. Second, do I really want to send my husband the subliminal message that I'm just 'leftovers'? And third, what happens if I get too close to those candles?"
Despite the lack of shrink wrap, Mirabel Morgan offers plenty of her own charming advice on marital revampment:
"The outer shell of yours is what the real estate people call 'curb appeal'-- how the house looks from the outside. Is your curb appeal this week what it was five years ago?
Many a husband rushes off to work leaving his wife slumped over a cup of coffee in her grubby undies. His once sexy bride is now wrapped in rollers and smells like bacon."
But oh, the early days were different. Mirabel reminisces:
"Remember how immaculate you were each time he came to call? Remember those long baths and then the powder, perfume, and pizazz? You felt so confident, and you were so excited you could hardly wait to see him. Dazzling, you floated out to meet him, knowing he would be pleased just seeing you and being seen with you."
So Mirabel, how do we go about getting the spark back?
"Have you ever met your husband at the front door in some outrageously sexy outfit? I can hear you howl, 'She's got to be kidding! My husband's not the type, and besides, we've been married twenty-one years!'
... Costumes provide variety without him ever leaving home. I believe every man needs excitement and high adventure at home. Never let him know what to expect when he opens the front door; make it like opening a surprise package. You may be a smoldering sexpot, or an All-American fresh beauty. Be a pixie or a pirate--a cowgirl or a show girl. Keep him off guard.
...My first costume, the pink baby-dolls and boots, was among my more conservative outfits. For a corn-fed gal from a small Ohio town, I must admit I've branched out quite a bit since then. "
It's all so adorably naughty. Her advice has been recycled into about ten magazine articles and seven books a year since 1973 when the book was written, but Marabel's readers were nice Christian ladies like her, and this stuff was racy. Marabel went on to write more books on marriage, and even made the cover of Time.
But The Total Woman at one point takes what I find to be an uncomfortable turn:
"You may not wish to parade around in nylon net at half-past five with your fifteen-year-old son all eyes. But the children will love your costumes. It makes life exciting. Can't you just imagine Junior on the sandlot, telling his friends, 'I've got to go now, guys. Got to see Mom's outfit for tonight."
Do you know that sound cartoon dogs make when they do a double take in surprise? That is the sound I made when I read that last part.

Sure, the name sounds more like something for batteries than weight loss, but it's actually way more normal than some of the other diet trends made popular by Tinsletown's tiniest (Beyonce's cayenne cleanse comes to mind).
Marjorie Nolan, RD, an American Dietetic Association spokeswoman agrees: "It's a diet of fresh fruits and vegetables, plenty of water, avoiding processed foods, coffee, and alcohol, which are all recommendations for a generally healthy diet anyway," Nolan told WebMD.
While there aren't any gimmicks, this diet does take some discipline. Not surprisingly, stars known for their healthy diets, including Victoria Beckham, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Aniston are among the A-listers who swear by the Alkaline Diet.
Want to try it? Here's what else you need to know about the Alkaline Diet.
The plan is based on the idea that maintaining an ideal pH level is necessary for optimum overall health, and your pH level — which determines how acidic of alkaline you are — is determined by what you eat. Based on that premise, the goal of the diet is to maintain an ideal pH level of 7.35 to 7.45 by limiting acidic foods to just 30 percent of your diet and loading up on high-alkaline food — aka mostly fresh fruit and veggies. Alkaline-promoting foods, including soy products, certain nuts, grains, and legumes, are also okay.
The bad news? Acid-promoting foods such as meat, fish, poultry, and dairy products are prohibited. In other words, prepare to go quasi-vegetarian. Also not allowed are sugary and processed foods, as well as caffeine, all of which are considered highly acidic.
But according to its proponents, giving up these acidic foods is a small price to pay for the benefits. The diet has been purported to do everything from slowing the aging process and preventing cancer to aiding in weight loss.
Still, the science behind the diet's claims isn't clear. A 2012 report, published in the Journal of Environmental and Public Health gave the diet mixed reviews for its effectiveness. While Nolan concedes the plan is pretty healthy overall, she isn't convinced of the pH-balancing premise behind the diet.
"Our body regulates our pH between 7.35 and 7.45 no matter how we eat," Nolan told WebMD. "Clinical studies have proved without a doubt that people who eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and hydrate properly do have lower rates of cancer and other diseases, but it probably has nothing to do with blood pH."
While the diet may not have science supporting its claims, it continues to have Hollywood's backing. Beckham even makes her family healthy meals from the Alkaline cookbook, Honestly Healthy.
"Love this healthy eating cookbook!! X," the wife of soccer star David Beckhamtweeted on Jan. 11, along with a picture of Honestly Healthy.

Link Encounter provided my non profit organization with an end-to-end support experience that was simply first-rate.

I would recommend their knowledgeable staff to anyone who needs a compelling web presence to promote their business, ideals or the like. They're not a bargain business, but you do get what you pay for. Tony Steed
I am a Florida resident formerly of New York City. VER came highly recommended by an old friend of mine for a few services I was in need of. After a brief consultation and review of what they had to offer I figured I'd give them a shot. Even though they weren't the least expensive they came highly recommended, appeared to be very trust worthy & professional. Besides that I've always believed that you pay for the quality you receive. So far, I have worked with the VER team for the past few years taking advantage of a number of their services from Identity Theft credit restoration (raising my credit scores 200pts in less than 60 days), individual & business tax services, business planning, marketing, legal compliance and business consulting. In my first year in business under the guidance of the VER team, and my chief advisor J.Cole, my organization grossed more than $200,000.00 Not bad for a single Mom who was a first time entrepreneur and had been a full time student just the year prior. Overall I have been completely satisfied with the professionalism, knowledge, and reliability of Mr. Cole and the entire VER Team. They continuously go out of their way exceeding my expectations. Very good service at an reasonable rate.
I'm a local dentist up in the high desert. I'm more old school and we never thought social media would attract more customers. Using OMG Marketing we were able to drive in more people to our offices. We still use OMG on a monthly basis to keep up our social platforms. Working with Kyle was super easy for an old timer like myself.
Garrett worked me out for 3 months about 2 times per week. We did a lot of toning by doing strength training while doing cardio as well. He was professional, had great tips, was very knowledgable of correct form and encouraged me through the rough days. I was hesitant about his pricing, but after working with him I can see and feel results far more valuable. Definitely reccommend this charming trainer.
My website needed a "facelift" about a year ago. I learned from a mutual friend and client that Ron's work is not only professional and reasonably priced, but he is FAST! He delivered beautifully on all that I expected. He also pointed out how my previous host/designer was costing my more money per month than was necessary. SO glad I found Ron!
Nina edited my first book for me. She was quick, proficient and followed through on all counts. Her communication skills are refreshing! In this day and age, it is nice to pay somebody for a service when they follow through and when they get back to you in a timely manner. There is no missing in action with Nina, her responses/emails etc are always within 24 hours! REFRESHING!!!!!
Jeff is an amazing coach and is even a coach of coaches. He has trained many people including myself in what it really takes to run a business and how to be successful. The minimal amount that you pay to get his coaching at C-Level is well worth it. He created C-Level to better be able to share his expertise and business prowess with the world. C-Level is an amazing group of business owners who are all collaborating together to have everyone grow their business. These meetings are run by a C-Level group leader (Jeff or someone trained directly by Jeff). These meetings are basically given away for the value that is provided.
I needed invitations for my twins Cowboy themed 4th birthday party. After searching for 'ready made' invites in the stores I was disappointed by how generic and impersonal they all looked. Thank God, I found Simone and she was able to customize and personalize my twins' party invitations. The invitations were so awesome and I even kept one to frame as a keepsake !!!
Aviv is amazing! I hired him as my go-to guy for all my IT needs for my physician's practice and he has never disappointed. He's personable, professional, knowledgable, and efficient. I recommend him without hesitation!
Working with Patrick has been excellent. His expertise in building my social media marketing campaign has brought out phenomenal results. My click cost is 1/5 of what it was before and conversions are triple. I just increased my budget and am going to be following his other marketing recommendations. I highly recommend!
Our facility receives over 100,000 visitors per year and operating a dinner house and event space for weddings and receptions requires a very capable and visually dynamic website. Logan did that for us and more. Our sales have increased 30% since the website was launched in late 2012 and guests can make reservations online, view wedding options, and even sell tickets to their events online. He goes above and beyond to make a quality product.
Stratagem has been powering our internet marketing campaign for almost 2 years and we couldn't be happier. Since they took over our traffic has increased by over 35%, our business by over 20%, and our overhead has decreased by 100k per year. In all they have not only saved us money, but made the company a significant amount. We fully recommend them to anyone looking for SEO, PPC, or internet marketing in general.
I was referred to Moosmedia by a close friend of mine, who raved about Rahsaan's work on her website, back up support, maintenance and impeccable service with prompt responses. I needed a spectacular logo that I could easily brand and wanted to make it consumer friendly. I also needed a website, where my clients could book events, pay their balance, and save their information (profiles) to my website which Rahsaan calls a "database". The data base he created brought me so much more business, as he was able to use that information to drive so much traffic to my site that my business grew very very fast. Who knew that a simple website could bring revenue to a new start up like mine. I have now gone back to Moosmedia for a face lift to my website in order to keep up with the latest tech trends and manicured look! Thanks Moosmedia I have recommended you to all of my colleagues, family and friends in the South Bay Area! - Toni
Hands in the air for the BEST LSAT TUTOR PERIOD. I was weary of spending more money but I heard she was especially gifted with teaching applied logic to people who "should" be scoring higher but aren't. After our 3 sessions, we changed my entire approach and I am officially +11 from last summer. I told her she should double her price, she changed the trajectory of my life --I'm going to Vandy! She can take the most complex abstract concepts and convey them in a way that suddenly *clicks* without any condescence or sublte remarks for having taken two paid-for prep classes already. She's a Polly-Anna for late-bloomers/mom's/40+ and everyone else going back to school and I highly recommend her.
Jon Layne at PartyLayne is great to work with. He is extremely creative, innovative, professional and fun to work with. He is always paying close attention to detail and knows how to design and deliver a successful event. Would highly recommend!

Having a baby is a big life event, and it's natural to experience a range of emotions and reactions during and after your pregnancy. But if they start to have a big impact on how you live your life, you might be experiencing a mental health problem.
Around one in five women will experience a mental health problem during pregnancy or in the year after giving birth. This might be a new mental health problem or another episode of a mental health problem you've experienced before. These are known as perinatal mental health problems.
'Perinatal' means the period of time covering your pregnancy and up to roughly a year after giving birth. It's made up of two parts:
You might have also heard terms used to describe the time specifically before or after giving birth, such as:
There's no right or wrong word to describe the period of time around pregnancy and after birth, and you might hear your doctor or midwife use any of these.
It took a lot of courage to tell my midwife that I was experiencing suicidal thoughts and had sought help from my GP.
It can be really difficult to feel able to talk openly about how you're feeling when you become a new parent. You might feel:
But it's important to ask for help or support if you need it. You're likely to find that many new mothers are feeling the same way.
If you experience thoughts about death or harming yourself or the baby, this can be very frightening, and may make you feel as if you are going mad or completely out of control. You may be afraid to tell anyone about these feelings.
But it's important to realise that having these thoughts doesn't mean that you are actually going to harm yourself or your children. However difficult it is, the more you can bring these feelings out into the open and talk about them, whether to a family member, a friend or a health professional, the sooner you can get support.
Watch Sara, Holly and Kate talk about their experience of mental health problems after pregnancy.
You can experience any kind of mental health problems during and after pregnancy, but there are some that are particularly common or are specifically linked to pregnancy and childbirth. These pages cover:
Some women also experience eating problems around pregnancy. See our pages on eating problems for general information, and Tommy's has specific information about eating disorders in pregnancy.
Dealing with postnatal depression
Read Karen's blog about her own experience of postnatal depression.

If you become pregnant, or are planning to become pregnant, it's important to think about how you can manage your mental health during this time. Whatever your feelings are about being pregnant or becoming a parent, this can be a stressful time for everyone.

Hi faggot, I want to talk to you about your BBC obsession. You have quite the unhealthy fixation on Big Black Cock now, don't you? And I'm not talking about heterosexual porn, no, all of your BBC fantasies are fag boy ones, isn't that right? This was a slippery slope and one that you fell down very fast. I know you didn't mean for this to happen. You used to just love watching black guys fucking, right? You were turned on by interracial porn, I get it, it just looks so good to see those Huge black cocks being sucked and fucked by hot white girls. It makes for good viewing, for good wanking material but you just took that a little bit too far. You didn't even realize what was happening. Your brain twisted these fantasies for you and before you knew it, you weren't looking at the girls any more, you found yourself fixated on those huge black cocks.
You've been brainwashed. It wasn't your intention, but you were brainwashed by BBC porn. It's not your fault, your weak brain just couldn't resist those big black cocks. And now black cock is all you can fantasize about. It's so funny how it was all so innocent, how you truly didn't mean for this to happen. You were completely straight, you just loved watching black guys fucking white girls. But those black cocks just looked so good, didn't they? You couldn't take your eyes off of them. You were hooked on those huge superior dicks that could please women in a way you never could.
And I think I know why you liked looking at big black cocks, it's because they're everything that you're not, isn't that right loser? Look down at your penis, does it compare? So you tried to live vicariously through them until that fantasy started to get twisted too. Until you began wanting those big black cocks in your mouth and in your ass. Over time you focused more on that fat BBC, so much so that you started staring at those Huge cocks as you came. Look at this huge cock next to me, that does something to a loser's mind, doesn't it? So what happens when you associate all of your pleasure to BBC, what did you think would happen? Every time you came you were looking at BBC. It fucked up your head, it brainwashed you. Now all of your pleasure is associated with BBC. It happened over months and years of watching BBC porn. You were brainwashed by Big Black Cocks. You have conditioned your brain to associate BBC with your orgasm. You see how you're fucked? How you fucked yourself?
I'll bet it's gotten so bad that you can only cum when there's black cock on your screen, it's all you want to jerk off to. You don't need to even have a woman in the scene any more, all you need is Big Black Cock. You've ruined your mind. It started out as just an interest in interracial porn and now you've been brainwashed by pornography. You have been unknowingly conditioned to love big black cock. I know you're stroking right now hearing me, watching the big cocks on the screen, you can't help it. You want BBC, you need it, you crave it, you jerk to it. You want those bigger, better, superior cocks right down your throat. You want to feel their cum all over your face, don't you, you little faggot? And you did this all to yourself loser.
You have been brainwashed by pornography and now here you are, a black cock loving faggot. You want those huge cocks in your ass. You want to be chained up and used by a group of black guys as nothing more than a little fuck doll. You have so many sick, twisted submissive faggot fantasies about black cock, don't you loser? Every time you cum, you're looking at black cock, it's what you trained your brain to love. You need this now, don't you fag boy? Wank that little white dick between your legs, show me just how inferior you are, show me just how much you lust after BBC. You're a black cock loving faggot loser. Do you see how weak minded you are? Plenty of men jerk off to interracial porn and they didn't end up like you. You were destined to be this way. You mind is so weak and susceptible.
Now I want you to cum for black cock, I want you to condition yourself further. I want you to focus on the BBC right as you cum. I want you to cum for that superior, black, alpha bull meat. That cock that you envy, that cock that you lust after. Know that you were brainwashed by BBC porn, know that no normal man ends up like this, only a black cock loving loser does.

text: An admirable indie film that stars bankable local actors! Gibson (Dominic Roco) is neither deaf nor mute but won't speak, this after a tragedy fell on his family. This doesn't stop him from falling for a girl though, who goes by the name of Enid (Annicka Dolonius). Commendable performances from Roco and Dolonius and equally impressive acting portrayals by the support cast that include Dawn Zulueta as Gibson's mother, Boboy Garrovillo and Mercedes Cabral, among others. Dawn Zulueta hasn't lost that teligenic appeal, she's flawlessly beautiful to a T, all through these years. This is one movie you should check out soon!

Senatorial candidate and Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao has been slapped with a disqualification case before the Commission on Elections.
Citing his number of absences as a member of the House of Representatives, a certain Ferdinand Sevilla, a resident of Makati City, submitted a two-page petition to declare Pacquiao a nuisance candidate for the May 2016 elections.
The petition, however, cannot be deemed officially filed because Sevilla failed to pay the corresponding filing fee of Php10,100 ($225).
"Records show out of 70 session days of the HOR from January 20 to December 17, 2014, Pacquiao had the most number of absences with only 7 days present. While Pacquiao was consistently absent to train for his boxing bout, shoot his television programs or shoot hoops in basketball games, he was denying his constituents representation," according to Sevilla's petition.
Also stated in the petition is that in 2013, Pacquiao incurred 60 absences out of the 168 session days, and was only present in seven of the 70 session days last year.
"He has failed to fulfill his mandate. He has wasted time, money and other sources," stated Sevilla.
"That Pacquiao's filing of COC for Senator in the upcoming national elections, therefore, comprises a sheer and shameless mockery of the election process," he added.
According to the Omnibus Election Code of the Philippines, a person aspiring for an elected post may be declared as a nuisance candidate if proven that his/her certificate of candidacy "has been filed to put the election process in mockery or disrepute or to cause confusion among the voters by the similarity of the names of the registered candidates or by other circumstances or acts which clearly demonstrate that the candidate has no bona fide intention to run for the office for which the certificate of candidacy has been filed and thus prevent a faithful determination of the true will of the electorate."
The eight-division boxing world champion filed his Certificate of Candidacy (CoC) last October 16 under the United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) of Vice President Jejomar Binay who is seeking the presidency in the coming national polls.

Bethel Music is the new label for words and sounds from the Redding church with a worldwide influence on church culture and worship in music. The breadth and depth of Bethel Music artistry goes way beyond their youth ministry 'Jesus Culture' label based in the California mega-church.
'The Loft Sessions': more heart and less hype
The newest release on the Bethel Music label offers something of an antidote to the 'Jesus Culture' arena-scale youth event live worship recordings. 'The Loft Sessions' recorded as its name suggests in the more compact settings of a converted loft, offer a more intimate and thoughtful live music experience.
Away from the technical constraints of big venue performance, the exceptional Bethel Church musicians are set free to give of their un-plugged best. 'The Loft Sessions' collection sets the standard in the new and growing popularity of 'acoustic' worship music.
'The Lost Sessions' is authentic, practical worship music. Free of the overpowering energy of large scale arena worship, this is worship for your personal space. It's music and words for your private devotion or for you to set the right atmosphere for small group gatherings and in more compact settings.
This is stripped down worship music that allows you the time and space to reconnect with the music, the musicians, other worshippers and with the God that brings it all together. Recorded over several evenings with established and emerging Bethel Music artists, the CD/DVD sets the stage for a refreshing. experience of community and creativity in worship.
'Love Came Down': more unplugged worship from Bethel Music
Further new releases in the style of 'The Loft Sessions' include 'Love Came Down' featuring Bethel worship pastors Brian and Jenn Johnson. Another CD/DVD combination, 'Love Came Down' brings a visual dimension to the relaxed intimate style of acoustic worship with the spiritual connections at the heart of the Bethel Church experience.
'Be Lifted High': Bethel Music in live church worship
Back on the big stage, 'Be Lifted High' is live worship from Bethel Music's home church and musicians in Redding, California. 13 tracks of fresh new songs are backed up with DVD bonus features including interviews with Bethel Church pastor Bill Johnson, and personal stories from Bethel Music performers and leaders.
Quick Guide to
Bethel Music New Releases – what are they?
- New live and studio recordings from the musicians and worship leaders of Bethel Church, Redding, California.

A Past Exhibit
"The Camera's Coast: Historic Photographs of Maritime New England"
February 20 — May 30, 2004.
An exhibit of extraordinary maritime photographs opened at the Maine Historical Society (MHS) on Friday, February 20, 2004. Called The Camera's Coast: Historic Photographs of Maritime New England, the exhibit featured over sixty historic images chosen by renowned Maine scholar Bill Bunting from the collections of the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities (SPNEA).
In addition, historic artifacts such as ship models, nautical instruments, paintings and other materials from the collections of MHS enhanced the exhibit and provided unique insights into the maritime history of Maine.
"Beginning with the earliest period of European settlement in the 1600s until today, the sea has fundamentally influenced the lives of the people of Maine and New England," noted John Mayer, Museum Curator. "Over time, with changes in technology, economics, and natural resources, the nature of this relationship has been remade, but it still dominates our experiences and shapes our sense of New England and its history."
Taken between the 1870s and 1920s, the photographs provided a vivid look at maritime activities that were common during this period when ships and the sea were a vital part of the New England economy. Included were views of dockworkers and fishermen unloading their catch from Grand Banks fishing schooners from Portland, Gloucester and Boston. Images of shipwrights and carpenters repairing and building vessels suggested the regional importance of the knowledge and skill of these workers. Views of steam–powered ferries, three–masted ships, fishing schooners and trawlers, and recreational sailboats revealed the range of activities seen on the waters of New England.
This exhibit was organized by the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities (SPNEA). It is made possible at the Society by the generous support of H.M. Payson & Co. in celebration of its 150th anniversary.

People interested in a career in teaching are being urged to attend an open event at the National College on October 18, to boost Nottinghamshire's falling trainee teacher numbers.
The reduction in available good quality teachers nationwide has led to a debate highlighting the struggle that schools are facing to recruit, one which experts say is leading to an expensive overuse of supply teachers.
Last year's applicant numbers reported a healthy response from neighbouring counties, but uptake numbers from Nottinghamshire was mysteriously low. This under recruitment to the teaching profession in Nottinghamshire and has seen a rise in the need for schools to rely on temporary supply staff.
Paul Goodman of Inspiring Leaders Teacher Training said: "Nationally we have seen a significant drop in the numbers training to teach, with Nottinghamshire the worst affected in our region."
Paul added that a new system for recruitment introduced by The National College for Teaching and Learning has not made things easier.
The open day at the National College, Triumph Road, Nottingham, takes place on October 18. If you would like to attend, call 0116 3184066 or visit www.inspiringleadersscitt.com/

Shaq and Co. have put the Peacock back atop the weekly ratings perch for the first time since January.
Behind three high-rated NBA conference final games, including Sunday's nail-biting clincher in the West, NBC has put an end to ABC's 22-week winning streak in total viewers.
According to Nielsen, NBC edged ABC by an average of 140,000 viewers per half-hour during the week of May 29-June 4 (10.65 million to 10.51), putting a halt to a winning streak that began in January. NBC also won in homes by two-tenths of a ratings point (7.4 to 7.2), ending another 22-week ABC streak that included one tie.
It marks the first time that ABC has lost a week in viewers since "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" began airing at least three times a week in January. NBC was also the last net to top ABC, taking the week of Jan. 3-9.
This time around, NBC also won easily in adults 18-49 (4.7 vs. ABC's 3.7), its fourth demo victory in the last six weeks following a nine-week run by ABC.
Last week's NBA action included two Western Conference final games between the Portland Trail Blazers and the Shaquille O'Neal-led L.A. Lakers, which as the league's marquee team is helping NBC shave its playoff-to-date losses vs. a year ago. The net is down 12% from last year's postseason average (5.7/14 vs. 6.5/16) after trailing by as much as 20% earlier in the playoffs.
It was a good week overall for the six broadcast nets, which were up 4% in homes vs. the same week a year ago (29.8 vs. 28.7) and 9% in adults 18-49. With basketball and UPN's Thursday wrestling leading the way, the gains in men 18-49 were an even larger 12% (15.7 vs. 14.0).
CBS joined NBC, ABC and UPN in posting gains vs. 1999. Eye's Wednesday bow of "Survivor" drew more than 15.5 million viewers and won in all key demos, while a Saturday repeat of the first episode added 9 million sets of eyeballs.
The top programs of the week in total viewers were "Millionaire" segs on Thursday (23.83 million), Sunday (22.72) and Tuesday (22.28).
In adults 18-49, the top shows were Sunday's NBA game (9.3/25) and "Millionaire" editions on Thursday (7.4/21) and Sunday (6.8/16).
Adults 18-49 averages for the week of May 29-June 4: NBC, a 4.7 rating/15 share (up by 15% in rating vs. the same week a year ago); ABC, 3.7/11 (up 12%); Fox, 2.9/9 (down 6%), tied with CBS, 2.9/9 (up 12%); UPN, 1.4/4 (up 56%); the WB, 0.9/3 (down 25%); Pax, 0.3/1 (even).
In homes, it's: NBC, 7.4/13 (up 3%); ABC, 7.2/13 (up 22%); CBS, 7.0/13 (up 3%); Fox, 4.3/8 (down 10%); UPN, 2.3/4 (up 44%); the WB, 1.6/3 (down 33%); Pax, 0.9/2 (even).
Fox's "Millionaire"-esque quizzer "Chance of a Lifetime" (6.09 million, 2.4/7 in A18-49) started slowly on June 5, losing young adults in its second half-hour and slipping 29% behind the net's week earlier rating in the slot with sitcom repeats (3.4). It also provided a weak lead-in for an already ailing "Ally McBeal," whose repeat seg could only manage a tie with ABC's Stanley Cup game in adults 18-34.
With hockey on ABC and Fox stumbling, CBS cruised: Eye net won each half-hour in viewers, adults 18-49, adults 25-54 and adults 18-34. At 10, newsmag "48 Hours" surged to the net's best non-sports adults 18-49 rating in the hour since Jan. 3, 1999.
NBC posted its first viewer and demo victory on a Sunday since Oct. 24 (World Series) with Game 7 of the NBA's Western finals (19.09 million viewers, 9.3/25 in adults 18-49). Despite the big basketball numbers, "Millionaire" still ranked as the night's No. 1 program in total viewers.
The season premiere of HBO comedy "Sex and the City" improved by 41% vs. last season's opener (9.0 vs. 6.4 in HBO homes), which translates to an average of about 4.2 million viewers. Of course, the program's cume average will increase with its usual three weekly repeats, which benefits viewers who may have opted for the NBA game knowing they could catch the laffer at another time.
Game 3 of hockey's Stanley Cup Finals left ABC in fourth for the night in viewers (3.73 million) and young adults (1.7/7). The game, featuring the Dallas Stars and New Jersey Devils, did very well in Dallas (20.0/36 in homes), but failed to escape fourth place in any other top 10 market.
Fox won in viewers and demos, led by "America's Most Wanted" (8.31 million, 3.7/13 in A18-49), which topped its May sweeps averages.
Game 6 of the NBA's Western Conference Finals led NBC to an easy victory in viewers and adults 18-49, more than doubling second-place ABC in the latter (5.4 vs. 2.6).
The basketball game was so dominant that, in addition to a commanding 23-share victory in men 18-49, it also won by 6 shares in women 18-49. Its men 18-49 rating (8.4/29) was NBC's best on a Friday since June 12, 1998 (NBA Finals, Game 5: Utah vs. Chicago).
ABC looks to have Thursdays in its pocket this summer, with "Millionaire" towering over everything else on the night for a second straight week. It topped repeat NBC laffers "Frasier" and "Just Shoot Me" by more than 14 million viewers (23.8 million vs. 9.5) and by 61% among adults 18-49 (7.4/21 vs. 4.6/13).
In a rarity, NBC slipped to third in viewers at 8:30 as a repeat "3rd Rock from the Sun" (9.34 million) trailed repeats of CBS' "Diagnosis Murder" (10.55) and ABC's "Whose Line is it Anyway" (10.15).
UPN, whose "WWF Smackdown!" wrestling is airing originals this summer, moved up to fourth in viewers (7.76 million) and third in both adults 18-49 (2.9/9) and adults 18-34 (3.4/11).
ABC and CBS tied in adults 18-49 (4.4/13), with NBC right behind (4.3/13).
"Survivor's" first episode handled "Millionaire" in key demos and finished the week as the No. 1 series in adults 18-34. In another positive sign for the show, it also improved handily on the half-hour — something the quizzer has consistently done.
"Millionaire" helped ABC win the night in viewers and adults 18-49, although CBS took the post- "Millionaire" hours in viewers and NBC in young adults.
Fox's attempt at a four-comedy lineup — including two new segs of "The PJs" as well as an original "Family Guy" — failed to lift the net out of fourth in adults 18-49. "Family Guy," airing at 9, looked the best, winning among kids and teens and placing a close second to ABC's "Dharma & Greg" in adults 18-34.
CBS won May 29 in viewers and adults 18-49, its first ranking atop the Monday demo charts without sports help since Jan. 31.
With big-name performers like 'N Sync and Ricky Martin, ABC's "World Music Awards" was able to improve on its year-ago adults 18-49 rating by 32% (3.7 vs. 2.8). Kudocast also won its slot in women 18-49 (4.6/13) and women 18-34 (4.6/14).

Mike is a great PT - - just loved him.
The Cary Physical Therapy folks were friendly and welcoming. They introduced themselves and called me by my first name which made me feel like they thought of me as a person and not just another patien. We set goals and met them - they taught how to walk correctly with a cane which I found helpful. My month at Cary P.T. was an enjoyable experience. I'd recommend it to anyone.
I always choose Cary for myself and my son without a doubt. We have always had a wonderful experience.
I want to thank every one at Cary Medical Center for help and kindness. Not just one person everyone was so nice. That's why I only go to Cary Medical Center Cary is the best hospital around.
I came in by ambulance due to heart issues. The nurses were excellent, lab techs very competent.
I was very happy with the care I received at Cary. Just wanted to say that in addition to the clear level of medical competence & professionalism of all the staff I met, regardless of level, I also appreciated their interpersonal demeanor & bedside manner. I was afraid, and the were able to calm my fears.
I had wonderful care from nurses & CNA's during my 12 day staff. Too many to record names.
I was very impressed over all with my colonoscopy. Dr. & nurses were excellent and never once made me feel I was an imposition to them when they were so busy. I have already recommended Cary to my friends
All were informed and had excellent attitudes. Very professional and caring.

Vodafone Overturns Tax Bill in India
NEW DELHI—India's Supreme Court on Friday ruled that Vodafone Group PLC isn't liable to pay taxes on the deal it struck to enter India in 2007, delivering a major victory to the British telecommunications giant and providing some encouragement to foreign companies that are concerned about the country's investment climate.
The court's decision means that Vodafone won't have to pay more than $2 billion in taxes on its $11.2 billion acquisition of a controlling stake in an Indian cellphone company from Hong Kong's Hutchison Whampoa Ltd. Indian authorities don't have jurisdiction to tax the deal because it was structured as a transaction between two foreign entities, a three-judge panel of the court said.
The verdict, which overturns a ruling by a lower court in Mumbai, comes after a four-year legal fight by Vodafone in India. The tax case became a symbol for many foreign investors of the uncertainty of doing business in India, the unpredictability of regulators and the risks foreign firms face if they decide to make big bets on Indian growth.
In a statement, Vodafone Chief Executive Vittorio Colao said: "We are a committed long-term investor in India and we have made clear all along that we have faith in the Indian judicial system. We welcome the Supreme Court's decision, which underpins our confidence in India. We will continue to grow our Indian business."
The court directed the tax department to refund the 25 billion rupees ($500 million) that Vodafone, the world's biggest wireless-service provider by sales, had deposited, along with 4% interest.
Indian tax authorities can file what is known as a "review petition" to seek clarifications from the court on some aspects of the case, but haven't decided whether to do so, said Mohan Parasaran, counsel for the tax department.
The Vodafone case took on heightened significance amid a broadly grim climate for foreign investment in India. The ruling will be a boost for India as it tries to convince companies to pour more money into the country. Still, foreign companies will want to see New Delhi take other steps, such as following through on promises to further open the retail sector to foreign investment and speed up permits and approvals for big projects.
Vodafone's rapid-fire expansion into emerging markets, which former CEO Arun Sarin engineered over half a decade before stepping down in 2008, has become a cautionary tale for European companies chasing growth in the developing world. Vodafone plunged quickly into India, Egypt, Ghana and Turkey—alluring high-growth markets whose unpredictability has turned out to pose deep challenges for the company.
Cyril Shroff, managing partner of Indian law firm Amarchand Mangaldas, said the Vodafone decision was a surprise in the Indian business world, where many people had assumed that the Supreme Court would uphold the Mumbai High Court's earlier decision and side with Indian tax authorities. "It's a strong indication of an independent judiciary, despite all the noise on the street and the fact Vodafone had lost in the High Court," Mr. Shroff said.
Mr. Shroff said the verdict provides much-needed clarity for foreign investors who had become skittish about doing major deals in India with so much tax uncertainty. "It was becoming a big issue—just the fact that something could hit you like a bolt from the blue in India," Mr. Shroff said. Vodafone has said the legal advice it received in India indicated it wouldn't be taxed on the Hutchison deal.
Mukesh Butani, chairman of consulting firm BMR Advisors, said the decision delivered an important critique of India's murky laws in areas such as taxes. "Certainty is an integral part of the rule of law and the government needs to make laws that give a clear picture to investors," Mr. Butani said. BMR said Vodafone is one of its clients but it didn't provide advice to the firm on the Supreme Court case.
The Vodafone case comes as the government of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is trying to reverse a worrying slowdown in economic growth by boosting both domestic and foreign investment. Growth in gross domestic product, once expected to be 9% in the year ending March 31, is now forecast to be about 7%, still high by international standards but not enough to accomplish major objectives like rapid infrastructure development and programs to alleviate poverty. Mr. Singh is planning a range of measures to jump-start growth, including encouraging state-run firms to make major infrastructure investments and streamlining regulations in the power sector. The government is also expected to consider opening up the aviation sector to investment by foreign airlines.
And it will likely reconsider a move to allow in foreign retailers like Wal-Mart Stores Inc. WMT 1.35% Late last year, the government approved a change that would allow 51% foreign ownership in Indian supermarkets and department stores, but then reversed itself days later under pressure from a major coalition ally.
The 2007 Vodafone deal was structured as a transaction between the firm's Dutch subsidiary and a Cayman Islands-based company that held Hutchison Whampoa's India assets.
The Supreme Court agreed with Vodafone that the deal isn't subject to capital gains tax—and Vodafone therefore had no obligation to withhold tax—even though the main asset changing hands was a controlling interest in an Indian cellphone company. The court's decision said taxing Vodafone "would amount to imposing capital punishment for capital investment."
The offshore transaction is a "bona fide" structure, Chief Justice S.H. Kapadia said while issuing the verdict. The judge said the fact that Hutchison's Cayman Islands unit was in place for several years before the deal suggested that the deal structure wasn't created with the purpose of sidestepping taxes.
The landmark ruling is a defining moment for Chief Justice Kapadia, who has guided the court through a tumultuous time in India since taking over in May 2010, asserting the court's role to oversee investigations into corruption and large-scale tax evasion. He brought to the case an expertise in tax and finance law honed through handling many corporate cases as a judge over the years. "He is someone who understands how the law affects businesses," said Nick Robinson, a visiting fellow at the Center for Policy Research, a think tank in New Delhi.
Lawyers said the ruling upheld a principle that many countries follow but that India didn't—that tax authorities should concern themselves only with the corporate structure or "form" of a merger deal, not the substance of what assets are changing hands. The upshot of that approach is that India doesn't have jurisdiction in tax deals like the Vodafone one.
"It really clears the air for a number of foreign direct investors whose deals are pending because they had similar structures to Vodafone and were concerned about this," said Akil Hirani, managing partner of law firm Majmudar & Co.
Dinesh Kanabar, chairman of the tax practice at KPMG India, said the verdict will also help many other companies that are facing Indian tax demands similar to Vodafone's, including AT&T Inc. T 0.09% and SABMiller PLC. "It's a significant precedent for every single case," he said.
Vodafone, which bought out Indian joint venture partner Essar Group last year, has had a rough time in the country. Of Vodafone's 391 million mobile phone customers globally, more than 146 million are in India, but that hasn't translated into huge profits. For the fiscal year ended last March, Vodafone's India operation generated $3.86 billion in revenue but just $15 million in operating profit.
The company was forced to book a $3.4 billion impairment charge on its Indian operations in May 2010 due to tough competition from more than a dozen mobile rivals. Meanwhile, Vodafone has been pouring cash into India. Between the 2007 acquisition and its investments in mobile-phone spectrum and cellular-network infrastructure, the company has invested more than $26 billion.
Though its Supreme Court victory on Friday represents a major success, Vodafone has spent sizable sums fighting the case and has also brushed up against other serious challenges there since entering the Indian market in 2007. Not long after Vodafone entered, a major Indian regulatory shift led to the sudden entry of six new competitors in the mobile market, triggering a price war that caused Vodafone to write down its initial $11.1 billion investment by about a third.
Vodafone has also suffered serious write-downs on its businesses in Turkey and Ghana due to adverse changes in the macroeconomic assumptions the company made when sizing up acquisitions in the markets. Investors eventually became fatigued with Vodafone's rapid global expansion. Its CEO, Mr. Colao, has taken the hint and announced plans to concentrate the company in Europe, India and sub-Saharan Africa rather than expanding elsewhere.
The challenges posed by emerging markets haven't been limited to Vodafone's balance sheet. In Egypt, for example, Vodafone took heat last year when government forces shut down its operations during the Arab Spring and later used its mobile network to send out pro-regime propaganda messages via text.
Despite the volatility, however, Vodafone's emerging-markets exposure has soothed investors as European markets such as Spain, Italy and Portugal have become a drag on the company amid the European debt crisis and sluggish economic climate.
In the year ended March 31, 2011, Asia, the Middle East and Africa region—which does not include Turkey—comprised almost a third of Vodafone's global service revenue of £42.7 billion ($66.1 billion). As service revenue in Europe dropped 3.4% on a reported basis during the fiscal year, revenue in Asia, the Middle East and Africa skyrocketed 20%. In India alone, service revenue surged by 23.9% on a reported basis.

Family Holidays in The Galápagos Islands
Follow in Darwin's footsteps on a family adventure of a lifetime.
Useful Information: The Galápagos Islands
The Galápagos Islands: Why You'll Love It
Take the ultimate family adventure to The Galápagos Islands, an extraordinarily preserved archipelago 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador that lies right on the equator. This eco-system offers one of the most unique, magical and unforgettable wildlife experiences on earth.
Naturalist Charles Darwin first visited these volcanic islands over five weeks in 1835 on a sailing ship called the Beagle. He noticed that the finches on each island had slightly different beaks. Years later these observations were key to forming his theory of evolution.
Witness a place where birds and animals have no fear of humans, from breeding boobies and flightless cormorants to marine iguanas and giant tortoises, the fearlessness of the animal life here is astounding.
Ninety-seven percent of the Galápagos archipelago (some 54,000 square miles) is an Ecuadorean national park and human habitation is restricted to one of the 14 larger islands. Most visitors live on boats, such as the ones detailed in our hand-picked family holidays to the Galápagos.
The Galápagos Islands: Why The Kids Will Love It
There is nowhere else on earth quite like The Galápagos Islands and a family holiday here truly is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
These islands and waters surrounding them are full of life. See fur seals and flightless cormorants, black marine iguanas and giant mantra rays, penguins, frigate birds, blue footed boobies and much, much more. Of all the Galápagos' famously approachable wildlife the sea lions are the only ones that pay you much attention. Don't be surprised if one comes up to say hello when you are snorkelling!
Our partner agent are parents of young children themselves and they understand what makes an exceptional family adventure holiday. They also understand the care and attention that is needed to create a holiday that is not only inspirational, but that will be remembered for a lifetime. A Galápagos family holiday can be enjoyed at whatever age, however the older children are the more they will get out of it. The trips include a lot of snorkelling and so it's best if the children are confident swimmers.
When To Go
The Galapagos Islands are a great year-round destination for a Galapagos cruise and there really is no "off-season" as opposed to many other wildlife sanctuaries around the world. However, the high season for tourism tends to be from mid-December to January and from June to August, which coincides with the general holidays and vacation months around the world.
The climate in the Galápagos is subtropical and is regulated by the warm Nino Current and the cold Humbolt Current.
- January to May: from low 80°F (27°C) to low 90°F (32°C) (possible rain)
- June to September: low 60°F (15°C) to high 70°F (21°C) (possible rain)
- October to December: 70°F (21°C) to 80° (27°C) (dry season)
December to May: The time period between December and May is considered the "warm season." During this warmer season, the Galápagos' climate is more tropical with daily rain and cloudier skies. Also, the ocean temperature is warmer for swimming and snorkelling.
June to December: From June to December the southern trade winds bring the colder Humbolt current north to the Galápagos. This means that the water is cooler, and a layer of high atmosphere mist pervades the island skies. In effect, the highlands of the larger islands are kept green and lush, while the sea level islands and shorelines have very little rainfall thus; June to December is generally called the "dry season".
Fast Facts
Capital: Puerto Baquerizo Moreno is the capital and lies at the southern tip of San Cristóbal (Chatham) Island.
Time: GMT – 06:00
Language: Spanish is the official language.
Voltage: 120 v
Flight time from the UK: Flight time from the UK to Ecuador is roughly 12 hours. From here you must catch a flight to the Galápagos Islands takes just over 3 hours (if flying from Quito as all planes go via Guayaquil).
Visas: Visitors from the United States, Canada and most European countries traveling to Ecuador for tourism, business or to study do not require a visa unless they expect to stay in Ecuador for more than 90 days in one calendar year. Please remember that visa situations do change and it's worth contacting your nearest Ecuadorian consulate prior to travel.
Health & Vaccinations: Visitors travelling to Ecuador and The Galápagos Islands should be up-to-date with all routine vaccines. Other recommended vaccines include Hepatitis A and Typhoid. Make sure to check with your doctor prior to travel.All visitors should have travel insurance that covers medical expenses. Based on where you are going and how long you are staying your doctor may advise the following vaccinations: Hepatitis B, Malaria, Rabies and Yellow Fever.
Getting There: To get to the Galápagos Islands you must first travel to Quito or Guayaquil in Ecuador.
There are flights to Ecuador from London Heathrow via Madrid on British Airways. You may find cheaper deals on the same route with Iberia and Lan Chile S.A. Low-cost flights to Ecuador are offered from London City with a stop-over in Amsterdam on KLM, and on Continental from Heathrow via Houston. Flight time is roughly 12 hours.
From Ecuador, the two major airlines flying to the Galápagos Islands are TAME and Aerogal. TAME operates two morning flights daily from Quito via Guayaquil to both the Isla Baltra airport and the San Cristóbal airport. AeroGal has three flights daily from Quito to Isla Baltra and San Cristóbal via Guayaquil. All return flights are in the early afternoons of the same days.
Some flights go to the small islet of Baltra, just off the coast of Santa Cruz Island, others go to San Cristobal Island. Which flight you need depends on where your cruise starts.
Usually each yacht has reserved spaces on a particular flight so that all the guests arrive together from the mainland – for guests travelling with our partner operator, your flights to The Galapagos are booked for you.
Money: The official currency of Ecuador and The Galápagos Islands is the US Dollar.
Safety: That Galápagos Islands are safe, the only thing you need to worry about is possible seasickness and sunburn – make sure to pack accordingly!
There currently are no blog posts or videos for The Galapagos Islands, but we will have some soon!

This hour introduced you to the world of networking. Network technology has come a long way in power increases and cost decreases. The true winner in the network advances has been the small office and home-based PC users. Just a couple of years ago, consumer computers did not even carry networking equipment because of the network's place in the corporate world. At that time, the network's place meant that the network technology was expensive, difficult to use, hard to install, and costly to maintain.
All that has changed. With the low-cost PCs that have flooded the PC market in the past few years, the demand for connecting PCs has increased as people buy second machines and laptops. Networks are popular for two reasons: Users of multiple machines can share files and printers, and file integrity is maintained when only one disk keeps the data used by several PCs. Fortunately, Windows XP takes much of the mystery out of the software side to networking setup by providing you with the Home Networking Wizard.
