An Approach from Biblical and Systematic Theology
Published in Studia Biblica et Theologica, March 1971
Systematic theology is not biblical theology; but if it would be Christian, it necessarily must rest upon biblical theology. Therefore, this paper, aiming primarily to determine a Christian belief, will have the following structure: First, I will examine the Old Testament teaching on the image of God; then, I will examine the New Testament teaching about the image; and third, through an interaction with several contemporary scholars, I will work out a systematic, theological definition of the imago Dei.
The Image of God in the Old Testament
The explicit theme of the image of God appears in three texts in the Old Testament:Genesis 1:26, 27; 5:1, 2, and 9:6. I am excluding from the discussion such important texts as Psalm 17:15 and Ecclesiastes 7:20 because, although these texts bear upon the essence of man as such, they are not part of the Old Testament's own teaching about the image of God. Given this limitation, intrinsic to the Old Testament itself, we readily see that among the ancient writers there is not a great interest in describing man in terms of the image of God. This cautions us, perhaps, that we should measure our emphasis accordingly.
The first text, Genesis 1:26, 27, records the final creative act of the sixth day of creation:
Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.1
The fifth chapter of Genesis contains the genealogy from Adam to Noah. It begins:
This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created.
Our third text falls within the context of God's blessing upon Noah immediately after the flood. God says to Noah,
Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for God made man in his own image.
In these texts, the English word "image" translates the Hebrew word selem; and the English "likeness" translates the Hebrew demût (except in Genesis 5:1, where "likeness" translatesselem. Our first task, then, is to find out the meanings of these words from their usage in the whole Old Testament.
In the remainder of the Old Testament, selem is used, but for the two exceptions, to refer to the physical likeness of a person or thing, and almost uniformly these images are abominable.2 The two exceptions of this usage, however, broaden the possibilities of the meaning of this important word. We should, therefore, consider these texts more closely. InPsalm 39:5, 6a we read:
Behold, thou hast made my days a few handbreadths,
and my lifetime is as nothing in thy sight.
Surely every man stands as a mere breath! [Selah]Surely man goes about as a selem!
The RSV renders selem "shadow," which points to its meaning as a resemblance or reflection of something greater. It certainly is not a material idol or the like. Thus we have some evidence the selem is not bound to denote a physical image. Similarly, in Psalm 73:20 Asaph, speaking of the rich heathen, says,
They are like a dream when one awakes,
on waking you despise salmam.
Here the RSV renders salmam "their phantoms." Thus we are not dealing with a concrete, tangible image, but again, a more abstract likeness. With von Rad, I conclude from the above evidence that selem "means predominantly an actual plastic work, a duplicate, sometimes an idol…; only on occasion does it mean a duplicate in the diminished sense of a semblance when compared with the original…."3
The second important word, demût, apart from the Genesis texts, has a greater flexibility than selem. It is used in a concrete sense almost synonymously with selem,4 and in the abstract sense of resemblance.5 Although the abstract quality is there, demût is used uniformly in connection with a tangible or visual reproduction of something else. So again, as with selem, the usage of demût urges us very strongly in the direction of a physical likeness.
The next question we ask is whether or not a substantial distinction is meant between these two words when the writer says, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness" (Genesis 1:26). The evidence is against any serious distinction. If the author conceived of an important distinction between selem and demût in verse 26, which is God's resolution to create, then why did he omit demût in verse 27, the record of the very act of creation? The most obvious explanation for the oversight, either by God to create man in his likeness, or by the author to record it, is that there really was no oversight by either and that nothing is lost either from man or from the meaning of the text by the omission of demût. Another bit of evidence which points to the interchangeability of these two words is that in Genesis 5:1and 9:6, only one word is used to denote the image, demût, in 5:1 and selem in 9:6. The Septuagint translators perceived what was happening here and accordingly translated bothdemût and selem in the texts by the one word eikōn. Finally, with regard to Genesis 1:26we must recall the repetitions for the sake of emphasis, variety, and rhythm, are common in Hebrew poetry, e.g., Psalms 59:1, 2; 104. This passage (verses 26 and 27) is poetic, and the repetitions of verse 27 are obvious. "So God created man in his own image / in the image of God he created him / male and female he created them." It is understandable in this context that the author would use two different words with no fundamental distinction intended.
We must ask now what role the prepositions play in the phrase "in our image, after our likeness" (besalmēnû kidmutēnû). Do they imply that man is not the image of God, but is only in the image? That is, does man image God or is he twice removed, the image of an image? Karl Barth follows the latter possibility. "Man is not created to be the image of God but—as is said in vv. 26 and 27, but also Genesis 5:1 (and again in the command not to shed human blood, Genesis 9:6)—he is created in correspondence with the image of God."6This looks very much like theological expediency, however. It is likely that the prepositions should not be pressed for such a meaning. My main reason for saying this is found inGenesis 5:3. "When Adam had lived a hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth." Obviously the author does not mean that there was an image of Adam according to which Seth was fashioned. The conclusion that emerges from the comparison of these two texts is that when the author employs this kind of phrasing, he simply means that in some sense the one person is like the other; man is at some level as copy of his Maker. As H. C. Leupold remarks, "The double modifying phrase, 'in our image, after our likeness,' is in the last analysis nothing more than a phrase which aims to assert with emphasis the idea that man is to be closely patterned after his Maker."7
We are now in a position to ask what the author of Genesis 1:26, 27; 5:1, 2; and 9:6 really intended to convey about the image of God in man. To answer this, let us observe more closely the context of Genesis one. What features of the creation narrative are unique to man? 1) Man is the final creation; 2) only man is stated as being in the image of God; 3) only man is given dominion over all the earth; 4) prior to the creation of man alone was there divine counsel; and 5) only man is explicitly stated as being created male and female. Now what, if anything, does each of these features contribute to our understanding of God's image in man? First, that man was the final creation gives rise to such statements as "Man is the crown of creation, the end toward which it was all directed." But this tells us nothing about the nature of God's image.
Second, and by far the most important feature of Genesis one, is the actual statement that man is in God's image. On the basis of the linguistic evidence presented above, it would reflect a theological prejudice to deny that the author means man's physical appearance images his Maker. As von Rad says:
The marvel of man's bodily appearance is not at all to be excepted from the realm of God's image. This was the original notion, and we have no reason to suppose that it completely gave way, in P's theological reflection, to a spiritualizing and intellectualizing tendency. Therefore, one will do well to split the physical from the spiritual as little as possible: the whole man is created in God's image.8
That God's image in man may go beyond the physical is not ruled out, but it may turn out that the Genesis writer intends to give us no information in that regard.
The third feature of the creation narrative is that only man is given dominion over the whole world. Helmut Thielicke thinks that here we have a statement of the very essence of the image. "The divine likeness is thus a relational entity because it is manifested in man's ruling position vis-à-vis the rest of creation, or better, because it consists in this manifestation, in this exercise of dominion and lordship."9 He maintains that to distinguish between the image itself and its manifestation is to foist a Platonic way of thinking onto the text which is foreign to biblical thought. Over against this idea I would place von Rad's opposite contention. "This commission to rule is not considered as belonging to the definition of God's image; but it is its consequence, i.e., that for which man is capable because of it."10 This seems to be closer to the truth, not because it reflects Platonic thinking (von Rad, I think, would be horrified at that accusation), but because it is the most natural way of handling the language of the text. We must emphasize again that the author may not intend to tell us any more about the content of the image, for, as von Rad caution: "…the text speaks less of the nature of God's image than of its purpose. There is less said about the gift itself than about the task."11
The fourth unique feature of man's creation is the divine counsel which preceded it. "Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.'" Barth finds a significance here for determining the nature of the image. As he put it, "A genuine counterpart in God Himself leading to unanimous decision is the secret prototype which is the basis of an obvious copy, a secret image and an obvious reflection in the coexistence of God and man, and also of the existence of man himself."12 In other words, the divine deliberation indicates the "I-Thou" character of God's existence, of which man is a copy. The image of God in man, therefore, consists in man's addressing and being addressed as a "Thou." At this point we must be very careful to distinguish between, on the one hand, what may be a correct assessment of the nature of man and God, and, on the other hand, a correct assessment of what the Genesis writer is intending to say. I find it very difficult to see Barth's interpretation in the intention of the writer (though I do not rule out its possibility). In the three texts where the actual statement that man was create in God's image occurs (Genesis 1:27, 5:1, 9:6), no plurality is mentioned. Also, the plural is used elsewhere when God deliberates before an important act. In Genesis 11:7, 8a we read: "'Come, let us go down, 'and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.' So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth…." We may say two things on the basis of this text. First, it appears that the plural "let us" may be a way of pointing to God's own self-deliberation.13 Second, when an author uses the plural, we cannot insist that he intends any essential connection between what the plural implies about God's nature and the immediate object of his action.
The final feature of the creation account unique to man is that explicit statement that he is created male and female. This is reaffirmed in Genesis 5:2. Barth finds here the specific locus of the image of God in man as a "Thou." "Man can and will always be man before God and among his fellows only as he is man in relationship to woman and woman in relationship to man."14This view is weakened to the extent one rejects Barth's other notion that the divine counsel of verse 26 is intended by the author to supply the divine prototype of which man is the copy. I have abandoned that notion, and I find nothing else in the text to compel me to think the author intended to say that the bisexuality of mankind is an essential part of the image.
Finally, if we look at Genesis 9:6, we see again that all the author tells us is a consequence of man's possessing the image of God. Because man is made in the image of God, "whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed." The most important thing about this text is that it comes after the Fall of mankind into sin. Negatively, there is no indication that man has lost the image. Positively, the benefits of being created in God's image continue to be preset realities after the Fall. I, therefore, concur with Barth that "…it is not surprising that neither in the rest of the Old Testament nor in the New is there any trace of the abrogation of this ideal state, or of the partial or complete destruction of theimago Dei."15 (I have yet to demonstrate the whole of this statement, however.)
The following conclusions may be drawn from the foregoing discussion: That man is in the image of God means that man as a whole person, both physically and spiritually, is in some sense like his Maker. Just what the nature of this likeness is, we are not told. But we are told what really matters: even as sinners we bear God's image. As a result of this image in us, we have dominion over all the earth and we have a right to live out our days upon the earth. Beyond this teaching about the image of God in man, the Old Testament is silent.

South East Asia's largest and most prominent literary festival returns to Bali this 25-29 October 2017. The Ubud Writers & Readers Festival 2017 is taking the theme of Origins this year and will once again bring the world renowned authors, writers, thinkers, creatives and academics to the cultural capital of the island.

About the Festival
Now in its 14th year, the 4-day festival has evolved far beyond what it started as. Now there is something for everyone, book lover or not, with events including workshops with prominent writers, forums of global dialogue and current affairs, poetry slams, film screenings and performances. From day to night, Ubud will take on new life as it is transformed into a hub of creativity and interaction.
This year, the Ubud Writers & Readers Festival 2017 draws on the Balinese Hindu philosophy of 'Sangkan Paraning Dumadi' as the inspiration for their theme, Origins. The philosophy centres around recognising that where we have come from, is where we shall ultimately return to. In a time of global political and social tension, it is a reminder for us to look at the big picture, to avoid individuality and adopt universal interests; what can we achieve together for a better world?
For years the festival has been able to attract numerous internationally acclaimed writers, activists, thinkers and artists from around the world, which they continue to do. However, drawing on a growing local interest, they have in recent years increased a focus on Indonesian authors, in line with their increased popularity and relevance on a global scale.
The festival has announced (17 July) a sneak peek line up for this year, this includes: king of crime writing Ian Rankin, Canadian historical fiction writer Madeleine Thien, The author of the book adapted into critically-acclaimed film, Lion, Saroo Brierley, Malaysian political author and activist Marina Mahathir, Founder of the Australian Climate Council Tim Flannery, revered Indonesian authors Seno Gumira Ajidarma and Leila S. Chudori, Indonesia's premier puppet theatre group, Papermoon, Papermoon, and internationally acclaimed dancer-choreographer, Eko Supriyanto, plus many more.

27 September 2005
Up Is Down, Black Is White, Drunk Is Sober
Via The Poor Man, Sully the Pooh quotes the drink-soaked former-Trotskyist popinjay thusly (emphasis added):
"Was there a single placard saying, "No to Jihad"? Of course not. Or a single placard saying, "Yes to Kurdish self-determination" or "We support Afghan women's struggle"? Don't make me laugh."Look, Hitch, I know it can be hard to keep track of things when you start drinking before you even wake up in the morning, but can you at least try to make a little sense? Here's what the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan has to say about their struggle:
RAWA joins with the rest of the civilized world in remembering the innocent lives lost on September 11th, as well as all those others lost to terrorism and oppression throughout the world. It is with great sadness that RAWA sees other people experiencing the pain that the women, children and men of Afghanistan have long suffered at the hands of fundamentalist terrorists.Of course, read the rest. And Hitch, go see a proctologist -- you need your head examined. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go throw up (again) in disgust at what my country has been doing for the past four years, and at the fact that Hitch dares call himself a humanist.
For ten long years the people of Afghanistan -Afghan women in particular- have been crushed and brutalized, first under the chains and atrocities of the "Northern Alliance" fundamentalists, then under those of the Taliban. During all this period, the governments of the Western powers were bent on finding ways to "work with" these criminals. These Western governments did not lose much sleep over the daily grind of abject misery our people were enduring under the domination of these terrorist bands. To them it did not matter so very much that human rights and democratic principles were being trampled on a daily basis in an inconceivable manner. What was important was to "work with" the religio-fascists to have Central Asian oil pipelines extended to accessible ports of shipment.
Immediately after the September 11 tragedy the US military might moved into action to punish its erstwhile hirelings. A captive, bleeding, devastated, hungry, pauperized, drought-stricken and ill-starred Afghanistan was bombed into oblivion by the most advanced and sophisticated weaponry ever created in human history. Innocent lives, many more than those who lost their lives in the September 11 atrocity, were taken. Even joyous wedding gatherings were not spared. The Taliban regime and its al-Qaeda support were toppled without any significant dent in their human combat resources. What was not done away with was the sinister shadow of terrorist threat over the whole world and its alter ego, fundamentalist terrorism.
Neither opium cultivation nor warlordism have been eradicated in Afghanistan. There is neither peace nor stability in this tormented country, nor has there been any relief from the scourges of extreme pauperization, prostitution, and wanton plunder. Women feel much more insecure than in the past. The bitter fact that even the personal security of the President of the country cannot be maintained without recourse to foreign bodyguards and the recent terrorist acts in our country speak eloquent volumes about the chaotic and terrorist-ridden situation of the country. Why is it so? Why has the thunderous uproar in the aftermath of September 11 resulted in nothing? For the following reasons which RAWA has reiterated time and again:
- For the people of Afghanistan, it is "out of the frying pan, into the fire". Instead of the Taliban terrorists, Jihadi terrorists of the "Northern Alliance" have been installed in power. The Jihadi and the Taliban fundamentalists share a common ideology; their differences are the usual differences between brethren-in-creed.
- For the past more or less twenty years, Osama bin Laden has had Afghan fundamentalists on his payroll and has been paying their leaders considerable stipends. He and Mullah Omar, together with a band of followers equipped with the necessary communication resources, can live for many years under the protection of different fundamentalist bands in Afghanistan and Pakistan and continue to plot against the people of Afghanistan and the rest of humankind.
- The Taliban and the al-Qaeda phenomena, as manifestations of an ideology and a political culture infesting an Islamic country, could only have been uprooted by a popular insurrection and the strengthening and coming to power of secular democratic forces. Such a purge cannot be effected solely with the physical elimination of the likes of Osama and Mullah Omar.
The "Northern Alliance" can never sincerely want the total elimination of the Taliban and the al-Qaeda, as such elimination would mean the end of the raison d'être of the backing and support extended to them by foreign forces presently dominant in the country. This was the rationale behind RAWA's slogan for the overthrow of the Taliban and al-Qaeda through popular insurrection. Unfortunately, before such popular insurrection could come about, the Taliban and al-Qaeda forfeited their positions to the "brethren of the 'Northern Alliance'" without suffering any crippling decimation.
With their second occupation of Kabul, the "Northern Alliance" thwarted any hopes for a radical, meaningful change. They are themselves now the source and root of insecurity, the disgraceful police atmosphere of the Loya Jirga, rampant terrorism, gagging of democracy, atrocious violations of human rights, mounting pauperization, prostitution and corruption, the flourishing of poppy cultivation, failure of beginning to reconstruct, and a host of further unlisted evils, too many to enumerate.

Patience is actually a virtue in seo. You won't see any instant gratification of your respective work. It could take several months for you so that you can view the results of your projects repay. The newer you will be on the business, the longer it will be to get the hang of things.
Tend not to run afoul in the spam filters modern search engines use whenever you optimize your web site. These filters - actually complex decision-making algorithms, analyze website content and flag pages for omission whenever they appear to be light on real content. To prevent this sinister fate you ought to limit the amount of search engine optimisation tweaking you employ.
You are able to generate new traffic to your internet site by posting on forums inside your chosen niche. Most forums allow links in, either your signature area or on your own profile, but see the rules first. If you reply to the forums, be sure your comments are of help. Answer questions, ask pertinent questions, be friendly and have fun.
To demonstrate the significance of a keyword to browse engines, bold it on its first use. Search engines like google have the ability to recognize when text is bolder, and rate bolder words as being more essential in your page. Having a bold word can help search engines like yahoo to locate your keyword and to search for additional appearances from it in your page.
Bold your keywords to enable internet search engine crawlers an easier hunt. Crawlers are intelligent, but sometimes they may have difficulty recognizing what your keywords are. To alleviate this matter, highlight your keywords by putting them in bold. It would make them easier to find, take much less time for that crawler, and place you higher from the rankings.
Submit your site to major search engines like google. This may seem like it is really an obvious step, but some site owners feel that the search engines will backlink to you if a person searches a definite keyword. While this might be true, you may not be the first listed, as well as on the 1st page. Optimize this tactic if you are paying a small fee to the search engine, and have your web site on the top of the outcome.
To optimize ones online search engine they must program it to distinguish multiple word meanings and how to identify which meaning an individual is applying based from the other words it is actually combined with. By having ones internet search engine try this it would produce more relevant outcomes for users.
A terrific way to get the site more visible is to begin posting blogs on your own site. Blogs increase the size of your web site and give you a means to connect to your online visitors. This, therefore, increases your research engine visibility, which provides you with more visitors.
When you construct your website ensure that you tend not to use Flash for the. This is because many internet search engine crawlers do not understand Flash. Using HTML is the most popular option which is the easiest to take care of. Also remember to keep each of the flashy graphics as low as possible.
If you want customers to find your pages online, then it is absolutely vital that you optimize your website for search engine listings. In 2008, Google revealed it had been indexing approximately one trillion unique URLs. With this quantity of competition for viewers, the opportunity that individuals will elect to view your page over others is slim to none except if you put work into optimizing your site.
As you've learned, anyone who wants to generate income should optimize their site for search engines. The recommendations listed here can give you the various tools you need to optimize your site. A better website will receive more traffic and generate additional money to suit your needs.

The stigma of taking a year out from medical school
I have never felt as nervous as I did when I requested my year out from medical school. I'd never met anyone who had taken time out, and I wasn't sure it was possible. You are supposed to put your head down and get on with it, aren't you?
My first reason for taking time out after my second year of medical school was financial hardship. I had a job throughout the first two years of medical school, but as the third year approached I knew the spare time to earn some cash would get shorter, and my student loan would get bigger. I had overdrafts, no savings, and did not want part time work to hinder my clinical studies. I thought that a year out would enable me to earn and save enough to get through the final three years without working or building up any more debt.
But there was another reason—burnout. By the end of my second year I was exhausted and not sure whether I had chosen the right course. It was interesting, but I felt out of my depth and unsure of my abilities. I didn't want to drop out completely, but I needed some time to reassess and to make sure medicine was what I really wanted to do. The dropout rate at UK medical schools is around 5-6%,[1] and in a recent study half of the medical students who were asked reported feeling burnt out, and 11.2% reported suicidal thoughts.[2]
Medical schools will generally allow time out for major life events such as childbirth, illness, or bereavement. But if medical students are experiencing such stress, should medical schools be more open to students taking time out for other reasons? To my surprise, my medical school was incredibly helpful. I met the sub dean of medicine and explained my request. He admitted that it was unusual, but he was supportive and talked me through the headings under which people are permitted a year out. These included: illness, parental responsibility, professional commitments, study abroad, compassionate grounds, and financial hardship. He then guided me through the application process. It was approved.
I had another reason for wanting a year out. I wanted to travel while saving money, and my year out turned out to be the best decision of my life.
I went to New Zealand and got a full time job as a phlebotomist, which was a brilliant skill to have gained. It is invaluable now that I am in my clinical years. This job took me closer to medicine. I was able to get involved and learn about the reasons for the tests I would be requesting as a doctor. I also gained a better understanding of colleagues in a multidisciplinary team and their role within the hospital. This re-ignited my passion for medicine, and by the end of the year I was reading Kumar and Clarke just for kicks.
Coming back was difficult. It was hard to return to the routine of studying for long periods, and I didn't know anyone in my year group. Word of my year out travelled fast around the medical school. Some people seemed interested, but I also felt there was some disapproval about my decision. This predominantly came from consultants, but some junior staff too. I heard words to the effect of "that shouldn't be allowed." The implication was that I was not serious about medicine. I find this outrageous. I am more mature, more experienced, and more committed as a result of my year out. The idea that you will fall behind academically comes up repeatedly on blogs and discussion groups,[3] [4] but I found it no harder than returning from a summer break. My third year exam results were my best yet. Since getting back I have been contacted by several of my peers who want advice about doing the same thing. After medical school there are opportunities to take time out. The General Medical Council allows you to take up to two years out between graduating and starting the foundation programme.[5] Later on you can do an accredited foundation year 2 abroad, take a year or more out after foundation year 2 or after core training, or take a sabbatical during registrar training.[6]
So, why is there less flexibility at medical school? It seems disgraceful that at a time when my fellow students are feeling lost, burnt out, and in need of a break, the options available to them are not widely known. My year out was invaluable—I am now fully committed to my career choice. There should be no stigma around taking a year off medical school.Bethan Conrad, fourth year medical student

820 Washington St., at Gansevoort St.; 212-254-3000
From the same folks who brought you the only rainbow cookies worth devouring, at Torrisi Italian Specialties, come these equally elevated rainbow mini-cannoli in coconut, cherry, and pistachio. The filling is imported Italian sheep's-milk ricotta, but the shells deviate from the Mulberry Street norm: Chef Mario Carbone makes his pizzelles from Thomas Keller's Cup 4 Cup waffle batter and fries and fills them to order. The result is light and crisp, yielding the ideal contrasts of texture and temperature and none of the dense, premade sludginess that often befalls this Italian icon.

So what exactly does best mean in a city with thousands of pizza joints, hundreds of celebrity masseuses, and museum-worthy concept shops on every corner? Well, in the case of this, our annual Best of New York roundup, there's a heavy emphasis on what's new or what has somehow remained virtually unheard of (until now, of course).

What Is Cloud Computing?
The Advantages of Cloud Computing
Cloud computing allows you to achieve economies of scale, which increase productivity with fewer people.
Cloud computing allows you to reduce spending on technology infrastructure.
You can spread your workforce out nationally without incurring additional IT costs through cloud computing. In fact, your team can access the cloud anywhere and at any time, provided they have an Internet connection.
Cloud computing helps you to streamline processes. In other words, you can get more work done in less time with less people.
Cloud computing improves your accessibility. This is because it gives you access to the internet and your business network anywhere and at any time.
Through cloud computing there is a reduction in capital costs. This is because there is no longer a need to spend money on hardware, software or even unnecessary licensing fees.
When using cloud computing networks, you can monitor projects more effectively. This allows your business to work within budget and stick to completion times.
Very little systems training is needed when a business uses cloud computing. It literally takes fewer people to do more work on a cloud and there are no hard and software issues that a business needs to worry about.
Companies can minimise the licensing of new software when using cloud computing systems. They do this by scaling their cloud capacity without having to buy software licenses and programs.
Cloud computing allows a business to improve the "flexibility" of a business. It does this by allowing a change in work direction without causing any serious "people" or "financial" issues further down the line.

When Microsoft released Internet Explorer 4, one of the technologies that they introduced and supported was scriptlets, scripted components that could be included and reused in multiple documents. Just as style sheets give developers the ability to separate content from formatting information, scriptlets provide the capability to separate content from scripted functionality.
With Internet Explorer 5, Microsoft deprecated support for scriptlets in favor of Dynamic HTML behaviors. Similar to scriptlets, behaviors give you the ability to create simple components that can be used to provide specific functionality or behavior on a page. In this way, you can extend the functionality of the browser within a page but not clutter the page itself with a lot of extraneous scripting.

Rihanna – "Hard" (feat. Young Jeezy)
"I'm so hard!" What?! I'm just singing the chorus! So, Rihanna's video for "Hard" has been released and its oozing Girl Power and sexiness. Now some of it seems to be forced, but there's only so much forcing that can be done. The rest is all Rihanna. Whether she's wearing porcupine shoulder pads, or black tape on her tatas, or channeling Minnie Mouse while straddling a canon, Rihanna does a good job personifying "Hard"ness.
By the way did I mention that Jeezy is in it too?
Check out the video and some stills.

New Music Review
Vampire Weekend- "White Sky" Listen to it here.
Contra, Vampire Weekend's second album, will be released on January 12, 2010, but it seems like before it is even leaked the band will hand out all the songs. Personally, I'm not complaining because it fixes my two issues: one, my love for Vampire Weekend and two, my hate for waiting. The only issue is the newest track that they gave up isn't really "new" at all. If you are a follower of Vampire Weekend you would know that "White Sky" has been played by VW through festivals and concerts, which is why it sounds more like their debut album than "Cousins" or "Horchata." With an arpeggiated piano chord and plinky guitar "White Sky" soars as the best "leak" from Contra yet.
Mary J Blige Ft. Jazmine Sullivan- "Gonna Make it" Listen to it here.
When I first heard this song, I immediately played 20 other times, which shows how quickly this song gets implanted into your membrane. The chorus is reminiscent to "this is the song that never ends", but regardless I can see this being a number one for Mary J Blige. It was almost genius to have Jazmine Sullivan on this track; the passing of the torch from one "soul sista" to another. (By the way while typing this up, I've listened to it 3 times more).
Coachella 2010 Tickets
Guess who's going to Coachella this year?!?! I'm Not (It's too dar away and plus I think I have school around that time, but I digress)! If you're planning on taking the trip to the Indie Mecca you can pre-order your tickets today! Yes, I said today. Granted, there hasn't been any announcements on the lineup, but the people of Coachella haven't failed us yet. To get the pre-order tickets click here.
There's not much to say about Rihanna. She seems to be getting more attractive (atleast to me) as time passes. 2009 has been Rihanna's year. It didn't start off as a good year, for obvious reasons, but by the end of 2009 she seems back to the old Rih Rih and on top of the world. Thankfully, she doesn't seem to be going anywhere soon, as she welcomes us to 2010 with the help of GQ.
La Blogotheque + Phoenix "1901"
Take a look at this video and you'll realize why Phoenix has one of the top albums of 2009 in Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. La Blogotheque teamed up the french group to record an impromptu performance in (where else?) France.
The acoustic "1901" sounds as good if not better than the heavier version, but what makes this video shine is the location. There is something eerily romantic about the gathering of the passing by locals trying to figure out what's going on and why this French band is serenading these newlyweds.

"Where's Wayne"- Young Money
I had a previous post about Young Money's "Bedrock" video. Now in that post I'm not quite sure if I was able to portray my love for that song. When I had first heard it, I was excited because it was everything I never thought it would be. It was fun, there wasn't cussing every 2 seconds like there was in "Every Girl" and I liked the lyricism of most of the players (Sorry, Gudda Gudda).
But there is one problem. The radio. I decided to switch from the "All Christmas" radio station and try out our urban radio station (aka 107.9). Mistake. The played "Bedrock" after every other song. So to say the least, I"m not a fan of it anymore.lol.
That is why I was ecstatic when I found a new Young Money track out aka "Where's Wayne". The ringleader isn't on the track but his subjects do a good job holding it down though.

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Davis Love III shot a 5-under-par 30 on the front nine Saturday to climb into contention at the U.S. Open.
Love made four birdies and an eagle to miss tying the Open scoring record for nine holes by one shot. Through 12 holes, Love was at 2-over par, five strokes behind leader Graeme McDowell, who had a late-afternoon tee time.
The 1997 PGA champion also served as Exhibit A that good scores were available at Pebble Beach – at least in the morning.
But he wasn't the only one putting up red numbers early on a cool, breezy day on the Monterey Peninsula.
Last year's Masters runner-up, 49-year-old Kenny Perry, made four birdies over his first seven holes to briefly get to 3 over before making two bogeys to fall back.
Brandt Snedeker shot 32 on the front nine to get to 4 over.
Thailand's Thongchai Jaidee aced the 181-yard, par-3 fifth hole, the first hole-in-one at the U.S. Open since 2006.
And 60-year-old Tom Watson shot 33 on the front, then made another birdie on No. 12 to get to 4 over. The 1982 champion here at Pebble, who received a special exemption for this year's tournament then made the cut on the number, was in a tie for 28th. The top 15 finishers get automatic invitations to next year's Open at Congressional.
Love went birdie-birdie-eagle on Nos. 2, 3 and 4 to start his roll. He made bogey on No. 5, then birdied the par-5 sixth and the par-4 ninth to get to 2 over and in a tie for 13th place. Love's only major championship came 13 years ago, and he hasn't finished in the top 10 in any major since 2005. Out of exemptions, he earned his spot at Pebble Beach through sectional qualifying in Ohio.
USGA officials were giving in some places, taking away in others, as they set up one of America's crown-jewel golf courses for the weekend.
The tee box on the short par-4 fourth hole was moved up for Saturday's play, 284 yards from the stick, making the hole drivable, especially if the wind is coming from the West, which it was early Saturday afternoon.
But the USGA was not as liberal in watering the course overnight, and the wind was gusting up to 16 mph, which could dry the course and make things progressively more difficult for the afternoon and evening rounds.
And, yes, they will be playing late.
In an effort to televise the tournament in prime time on the East Coast, the USGA set a 6:50 p.m. EDT tee time for McDowell, who comes into the weekend at 3-under-par 139. He leads Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, Dustin Johnson and Ryo Ishikawa by two strokes.
Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh tee off about two hours before McDowell, each seven shots off the lead.
Mickelson was set to play with Alex Cejka, one of four players who come into the weekend at even-par 142. Mickelson, seeking his first U.S. Open victory after a record five second-place finishes, shot a 5-under 66 on Friday to get in the hunt.
"I'm in a good spot," he said after a second round in which he beat the entire field at a major for the first time in his career. "I don't look at the leaderboard. I don't look at other players. I look at par. If you can stay around par, you're going to be in the tournament Sunday. That was kind of the goal."

Tomatoes, rosemary, and a hand torch. An impromptu photo for the client. The dark roasting pan provided great color contrast against the tomatoes and rosemary. Sometimes simple ingredients and a strong concept are better than an overstyled photo.
This is my signature cake. It is called "Tomás", after the little boy (not so little now) that told me to add the raspberries in each layer. It was the final touch to my chocolate cake and it is my clients' favorite for some time now.
This is my quick and easy twist on famous Toscan soup - ribollita. I made it with cannelini beans, tomatoes and kale and served with parmesan garlic toasted bread. The idea behind this picture was to make it look rustic and autumnal.
This is a rolled rib of delicious beef shot on set with Field & Flower for their upcoming new website. Some lovely marbling and texture shows off the quality of the cut - really gorgeous!

This is a photo of a simple fish and seafood soup made according to an italian recipe with cannellini beans and tomatoes. I made it for my husband who is a huge fan of all seafood dishes.
This image was created for a client who wanted some images for his Menu. He was so happy he enlarged all the images I created to stick on the front of his restaurant as well as creating a new website to add all the images . Good vision & technique helped me to create some mouth watering images for the restaurant owner who couldn't wait to get those food images up on his website , stuck on the front window & on the Menu.

This was one of many happy customers I have helped in promoting there food for there restaurant. Shooting food is not easy when your hungry but with the right vision & technique there's so much interesting food to shoot & enjoy.
These are my lemon and raspberry tarts, which I have baked for a very special homemade wedding and baptism that I catered. The couple was very sweet and chose a rustic look for their unique day, which was complemented with beautiful golden details.
The picture was taken for the needs of Emalco Enamelware Company. The idea wad to present another way of using their producs in our daily life.
The picture was taken for Emalco Enamelware Company and presents an Apple And Pumpkin Pie baked in an enamel mug. The idea was to present other ways of using enamel mugs and what better way to use them if not in baking? :)
The picture presents a red currant pie with chocolate, something that makes me feel a little bit better while thinking about those long cold evenings... And it is also my favourite way of using enamel mugs!
The best to feel the dough is to knead by your own. Green onion and dried pulled pork toast with scrambled duck eggs there are the perfect combination for breakfast.
Sweet potato and pumkin soup, decorated with sunflower seeds and fresh mint - the idea behind the picture was to present food in a natural way.

Spanish Paella made for heaven- but made in Sweden by @arnesmat. Saffron, shellfish and clams is a heavenly taste combination and also beautiful for resting your eyes on.
Sometimes the simplest things are the best things at the same time, so we shouldn't always go for everything fancy and complicated... The idea was to show beauty in simplicity.

My Persian Inspired Pavlova....This is one of my favourite desserts!! I created this for a client of mine, she asked for a pavlova but wanted something different. So i came up with this beautiful recipe of rosewater, pistachios, cream, figs, fresh raspberries, freeze dried raspberries, pomegranate and white chocolate shards. Its such a pretty Pavlova I just love it!
My family is trying to cut down on sugar, so I prepared this apple and zucchini loaf with whole grain flour, oatmeal and walnuts. Of course there is no sugar added, all the sweetness comes from apples and a little bit of honey. The loaf tastes delicious, especially as a part of a healthy breakfast.

Otiko Djaba celebrates birthday with orphans
The Minister-designate for the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Otiko Afisa Djaba, has donated assorted items worth thousands of cedis to the Osu Children's Home in Accra to mark her 55th birthday celebration.
The items included cartons of soft drinks, Milo and milk, boxes of biscuits, bags of rice and sugar, gallons of oil, boxes of Key Soap and bags of washing powdered soap.
Presenting the items, Madam Djaba said she decided to celebrate her birthday with the inmates, introduce herself to the home, interact with the management and familiarise herself with their operations.
She declared her support for the Osu Children's Home and all other orphanages in the country, saying "promoting social inclusion is a top priority of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, therefore the government will review challenges facing the various children's homes in the country for them to be suitable for habitation."
Madam Djaba said all that the underprivileged children needed was love from society," and added that, "childhood fun is the best stage in everyone's life."
She, therefore, entreated all Ghanaians to assist the less privileged children in society and make the world a better place for them.
Madam Christiana Addo, Manageress of the Osu Children Homes said the home had existed for the past 55 years to ensure that the less privileged in society were properly catered for.
She said: "the home caters for 147 children made up of 101 males and 46 females out of which 48 are children with special needs, but lack special needs teachers."

Have you ever wondered "What is Aloe Vera?" Well, this whole site is dedicated to answering just that question and sharing the amazing benefits of our favourite plant.
Aloe Vera is a medicinal plant, known since ancient times for its healing properties, but the definition of Aloe Vera has also now been expanded as a term to describe any of the products made from the plant and used in cosmetics, food and medicines.
Throughout history it has also been called the 'Burn Plant', 'Miracle Plant', and 'Plant of Life' among various romantic names. It is a cactus-like succulent, with a long spike of yellow to reddish flowers which grows in warm tropical climates.
Originally in the Lily family and related to tulips, garlic and turnips,
this succulent wonder-plant was moved into the family Xanthorrhoeaceae
in 2009 when taxonomists re-classified the Genus of 400 different
species of Aloes.
Its proper scientific name is Aloe vera (L.) Burm. f., also known as Aloe barbadensis, which you see frequently on ingredient labels.

Aloe Vera appears in the earliest medical treatises in existence, the Ebers Papyrus and the Edwin Smith Papyrus from the 1550s and has been used in folk medicine to treat ailments including sunburn, skin rashes, gastric problems, rheumatism and infections. It is thought to have anti-bacterial, anti-viral and antioxidant properties.
Although much is known scientifically about Aloe Vera, much work is still needed to complete investigations into the benefits of the plant, the efficacy of its healing powers and the safety of its use.
It has been generally proved that use in skin products is safe, but the jury is out on whether we should be using it internally. However, it is undeniable that this plant is incredibly versatile and has a thousand and one uses.
Learn more about this amazing plant and how you can benefit from its healing and beauty enhancing powers.
The parts of the plant which are used include a yellow, bitter, latex layer just under the skin of the leaves, which is used for laxatives and a bitter flavouring. The gel from the middle of the leaves is extracted for cosmetics and skin preparations, and the whole leaf is processed for juice. Powders and concentrates are made from the juice for use in innumerable products.
The active ingredients in Aloe Vera do not last for very long, and so it wasn't until the 1960s when a method was invented to preserve them that Aloe really took off in a big way in the cosmetics and natural health industries.
The International Aloe Science Council have set standards which require any product labelled as containing Aloe Vera to have the polysaccharide Acemannan present. This is a way of identifying Aloe Vera in chemical analysis and proving that a product really contains extracts of this healing plant.

I again use both first name and surname for this alphabet. Khushwant Singh is in K because S is such a common alphabet that there is a big war going on there already. Yes, choosing authors for S is difficult because I am spoilt for choice! For K today I have 4 authors yet again that I had to feature, all of them with very diverse books and views yet all doing extremely well in their writing. If writing stirs our passion then it has done its job is the best example of their writing. So go ahead and tell me who do you like best?
Khushwant Singh (2 February 1915 – 20 March 2014) was an Indian novelist, lawyer, politician and journalist. As a writer, Singh was best known for his trenchant secularism, his humour, and an abiding love of poetry. His comparisons of social and behavioural characteristics of Westerners and Indians are laced with acid wit. He served as the editor of several literary and news magazines, as well as two newspapers, through the 1970s and 1980s. He was the recipient of Padma Vibhushan, the second-highest civilian award in India.

Cincinnati Comes from Behind During Wild Third Period
Cincinnati, OH- The Cincinnati Cyclones (30-21-2-0) took down the South Carolina Stingrays, 2-1 in overtime, on Wednesday night. Forward Justin Vaive netted the lone Cyclones goal in regulation, while forward Brandon McNally lit the lamp in overtime for the game-winner.
After a scoreless opening period, South Carolina netted the game's first goal when defenseman Paul Geiger lit the lamp on the power play to put the Stingrays ahead, 1-0, 13:09 into the second.
The 1-0 Stingrays' lead held up throughout the remainder of the second, and in the third the Cyclones tied the game 5:25 into the frame while on a delayed penalty, when forward Mike Barrett threw a shot towards the net that was deflected in by Vaive to even the game, 1-1.
The physicality ramped up in the third period as well, as the sides exchanged hits along with extra-curriculars after whistles. Each side also had quality scoring chances, however neither side managed to break the 1-1 tie, thus forcing overtime.
In the extra session, Cincinnati netted the game-winner 3:11 in, when forward Jesse Schultz slid a pass up to McNally, and he hammered a shot off the crossbar and in from just inside the blueline to send the Cyclones off to a 2-1 overtime win.
The Cyclones were outshot, 23-18 on the evening, with goaltender Jonas Johansson stopping 22 in the win. Cincinnati continues their four-game home stand on Friday night against the Indy Fuel. Face-off is scheduled for 7:35pm ET.
The 2017-18 season is underway, and the Cincinnati Cyclones want YOU along for the ride! Call (513) 421-PUCK for information regarding Cyclones single game tickets, ticket packages, and Season and Group Tickets!

Obama is trying to grab some of the initiative, inviting the leadership to the White House the first week of the lame duck Congress, which begins Nov. 15. There is actual work to do. They are aiming to agree on an extension of the Bush tax cuts, which expire at the end of the year, before the new Congress is seated.
The pool was invited in to listen to Obama during his Cabinet meeting this morning. Here's an excerpt from the report.
POTUS said he has invited Republican congressional leaders John Boehner and Mitch McConnell and Democratic leaders Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi to the White House during the first week of the lame duck session to talk about working together, focusing mainly on "what we can get done in the lame duck."
It's "not just going to be a photo-op," POTUS promised.
POTUS listed off a number of economic issues that need to be addressed in Congress during the lame duck session, including an extension of the middle class tax cuts.
The government has "got to provide business some certainty," POTUS said.
He also singled out the New START treaty as an important foreign policy priority he wants to see get done during the work period. He noted that the arms control treaty with Russia is the sort of thing that "traditionally has gotten bi-partisan support."
POTUS also said he had invited the newly elected governors to the White House on Dec. 2. He said he looked forward to hearing from the governors about the "nuts and bolts stuff" that "oftentimes yields the kind of commonsense approach" Americans are looking for.
On his upcoming trip to Asia — he departs tomorrow for India — POTUS said "primary purpose" would be opening up markets. "The hope is we've got some specific announcements that show the connection" between what he is doing abroad and what is happening at home.
"We've got a lot of work to do," POTUS concluded. "The American people don't want us just standing still."
"We can't afford two years of just squabbling," he said.

The facts about the discount clothing
The European traders for the first time began to use such commercial tool as the sales in the late 18th century, but since then, in principle, almost nothing has changed. Their popularity is due to the fact that they are beneficial to both – the seller and the buyer.
In addition, the discounts for the traders are beneficial as they allow them to get rid of excess production or stale goods. Also the discount clothing allows attracting more customers to the store. By the way, for many shops it is much more profitable to sell the goods from the last year with a big discount than keeping them in stock or utilize.
At present there are several kinds of sales, each of which is held by its specific purpose:
- The seasonal sales. The main purpose of the discounts is to sell the old things and make space for the new. It is the most popular form of sales, which is used by almost all the famous international brands;
- The liquidation. There are two types: the real, when the product is really sold with virtually no extra charge and "the fake" – firstly there are rumors about the closing of the store and then the sale is organized;
- The presentation of the new thing on the clothes shop. it is perhaps the most pleasant variant of sales, as really at very minimal cost you can buy the qualitative product, in addition, you can often get some discounts on the purchase of goods of this brand in the future;
- Disposal of non-liquid goods. It is organized in order to sell the products that are out of fashion or inferior to similar products of other brands, and therefore can not be sold at the original price. Typically, in order to attract the customers there is the additional advertising of the hot commodity that can be bought at the discount and not those goods that have to be sold, the price remains the same;
- The pseudo sales. Usually they are organized if the goods are not sold over a long time. In order to improve its promotion, the pseudo sales are arranged. The prices usually increase by the end of the season and then there are discounts, but often the cost of the goods at a discount even more than it was at the beginning of the season.
Therefore it is recommended when making any purchases during the sales to study the proposed range very attentively.
Beware of, you can be tricked!
We all know all the sellers tricks about the clothes sale. And in spite of mutual understanding, we continue to peck at one and the same. The last place in the charts of the tricks gets the logo where you can buy two units of clothing for the price of one (of course at the price of that which is more expensive). In fact, it is 50% on the entire collection of old, but still the second thing is often limited to the certain items. Today it is widely spread to lure the clients only with discount. Frequently the discount progresses depending on purchased goods. The first product – 100% of the cost, the second – 70% and the third can be already less than 50%.
I think many of us have seen the fashion stores that sold out everything due to the closure. You have only three days, and then the shop will move or close! We hurry there, try the discount clothing on and buy. In a week we pass the same store and there is the new collection or even worse – the total sale.
VIP sales or private sales for owners of the gold cards. In fact, it is just the good option to test the demand for certain products in order to reduce the price. You are a wealthy man, if you have been invited to such an event and you are likely to buy something, if you already have come here – the situation requires. And tomorrow, these all will be available for everybody – no exclusivity. But you will be able to tell that you bought this suit on the "private sale" and this is a very significant plus.
Very often the old prices are crossed. It may happen even more than twice. But how nice to buy something for almost half the price! It is not necessary to trust the sellers who tell that everything that they have is in the room. This is often not the case.
Discounts on the boutique clothing are 70% and more. Does it seem unbelievable? Indeed, it is very rare. And it says only that the cost of the clothes was so high that the entire store is filled with pantry items to the eyeballs. Having bought the thing here, remember, in this shop the price of the product is over-prohibitive.
Remember, that exactly on the sales one can approximately estimate the real cost of clothing. It is worth mentioning and this kind of trick, as the announcement that the clothing, footwear and accessories, purchased during the sale, can not be returned or exchanged. This is the fiction and it is illegal. Moreover, the unscrupulous dealers often sell the low-quality products in these days.
How to resist?
First of all, make a list of what you need to buy. It is not necessary to keep in mind. Write it down on the sheet of paper or on the phone. If it is the shopping before the holidays, you can make a list of people and what kind of gifts you are going to buy for everyone. Also try to isolate yourself from the euphoria caused by an avalanche of favorable offers. By doing this you will protect yourself from impulse purchases and save money for immediate celebration.
Another important and long-recognized way to save money while shopping – do not use the credit card. It is better to take the money that you have planned to spend and count only on this amount.
Do not think that buying discount clothing on the sale now, you save money for the coming months but buy the bunch of things. This is the wrong approach, as you run the risk in the future months to repay debts or to limit yourself to the usual things. The good opportunity to buy the qualitative cheap thing happens almost every month.
Do not make the purchases because of politeness. It can be difficult to refuse the seller who, as the mites digs into your pocket and persistently beat out your money, bringing new jackets, sweaters, dresses, shirts and skirts. Learn to say "no" – but without the coarseness. It is better to just laugh it off. And considering the level of professional skills of the majority of our vendors, you can easily enough get rid of them by saying you came just to see.
A good tactic of confrontation of the impulse purchases is to "spend the night" with the idea of thing that you wish. It is possible that in the morning the coat or dress will not seem so attractive. And if you will look on the internet and compare the prices in other stores – you can make the unequivocal opinion about whether you need this purchase.
Be sure to carefully inspect the bought thing. If you have any doubt of its quality and the seller persistently says that now all the clothes is of this style – feel free to turn around and look for another thing. The range, nowadays, is great. And do not think that the words of one or two vendors reflect the current fashion trends.
It is worth mentioning about the fashion boutique clothing. When buying the thing on sale of the last season, you risk not getting into the new fashion. And if suddenly it the following winter these boots will be considered as vulgar? Our advices: do not take the trendy things and do not take what is already wearing half of the freshmen. For men, generally, the best variant would be the classic.
What is the closed sale?
In recent years, much widespread became interesting private sales. In the West they have long been popular. Such private sales are considered an integral part of the shopping experience on the Internet. Stores that arrange the closed sales rather frequently update their catalog of products and make the huge discounts. The distinctive feature of these sales outlets is the limited number of things on offer. Discount is usually availably for a short period of time. For example, it may act night. However, the discounts on different categories of products can be found all the time.

Thanks for the warm welcome, all. I've had very little computer time lately, between work and my girlfriend demanding attention (the nerve)... I don't know much about football, real or American, though I was living in Germany when they won the cup - place went nuts for weeks, so I do grasp the fanatacism... I do enjoy baseball; only things I know about cricket are from Douglas Adams. Seems a nasty sport, causing all kinds of war across the galaxy... not for me.
Anyway, I'll be posting sometime soon.

I work in a school as an SLP and my room is right next to one of the Kindergarten rooms. Apparently this morning one of the kindergarteners got into a "fight" with another student (like went up and hit him).
When the mom came to pick the child up his teacher told the mom what had happened. The mom got pretty angry, yelling at him, and when they left she stormed down the hall in front of him by at least 6 paces. She then yelled "This is why I don't love you! You are a bad boy!"
I was in shock! Who says that to their child!? The poor boy was just hanging his head and trying to keep up. 🙁
