Currie Cup - Round 12
Bulls cruise past Pumas
ESPNscrum Staff
September 30, 2011

Fly-half Louis Fouche produced a virtuoso performance as the Blue Bulls kept their hopes of place in the Currie Cup play-offs alive with a bonus point-clinching 47-12 demolition of the Pumas in Pretoria on Friday night.
The Bulls made a stirring start at Loftus Versfeld, with lock Flip van der Merwe crossed just six minutes in, after shrugging off a couple of would-be tacklers on his way to the line. Fouche converted and then added a brace of penalties to put the hosts in command.
The Pumas hit back through Jaco Bouwer, who dotted under the posts after a quick tap from Doppies le Roux, bout the Bulls responded with wonderful solo scores from Fouche and CJ Stander. Fouch then slotted a penalty with the last kick of thehalf to send the Bulls in 28-7 up at the interval.
Francois Venter extended the hosts' lead shortly after the restart before the new bedraggled Pumas lost Ashley Buys and Boela Serfontein to the sin-bin. The Bulls capitalised on their numerical advantage, racking up further tries through Arno Botha and Bjorn Basson.
The Pumas managed something of a consolation score when Marius Coetzer flopped over late on but the game belonged to the Bulls, who climb to fourth in the log.
The Lions staged a terrific second-half comeback as they claimed a 25-25 draw against the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein on Saturday.
The Cheetahs had lead 15-5 at the break after fly-half Johan Goosen scored all their points with five successful penalties. And when scrum-half Piet van Zul touched down after the break, which was converted by replacement Sias Ebersohn, the Lions looked set for a comfortable victory.
Bu the Cheetahs fought back after Tewis de Bruyn was yellow-carded for collapsing a maul. Cobus Grobbelaar, Jacobie Adriaanse and Michael Killian all crossed for the Cheetahs, two of which were in the last five minutes. Fly-half Elton Jantjies landed two conversions as the Cheetahs claimed the draw.
Dewladt Duvenage scored a late try as Western Province claimed a 15-10 victory over the Sharks at Kings Park in Durban on Saturday.
The teams went into the break locked at 7-7 after lock Jean Deysel powered his way over in the corner for the Sharks and winger Danie Poolman finished well for Western Province. Freddie Michalak and Duvenage traded penalties as the game wore on with little spark.
But with the clock ticking down, Michalak's mistake allowed Duvenage to hack the ball ahead and collect before dotting down for the winning try.

Eye and lip make up is my favourite type of make up to review – I guess it's just the most fun. I have enjoyed using Pixi's Shade Quartette eyeshadoow quad in Shades of Daylight and Copper Glow eyeliner – natural and glowing browns!
The older I get the more I appreciate browns and neutrals – they are just so easy to wear and I don't have the time to apply brights!
Shade Quartette
There's something I quite like about these quads – maybe it's because they're quite big (or they feel like they are spaciously..erm…spaced) so I feel like a MUA swishing my brush over the colours!
The eyeshadow quad 'shades of daylight' as a mixture for 4 very natural wearable browns.
There's a shimmery cream, a shimmery beige, a warm orangey brown and a chocolate brown. These eyeshadows feel very soft and creamy, and the pigmentation is good – I had no issues getting the colours too look how I wanted them to on my lids. These cost £16 each.
The Endless Silky Eye Pencil – in Copper Glow is just divine. I have one of these pencils already (teal) and it is just simply gorgeous.
They say:
Waterproof, super-long-wear, no-smudge, no-budge eye liners. They glide on like seamless silk, and in a single sweep motion create a flawless, solid jewel-toned line. No retouching required all day – or night! Gentle on eyes, yet intensely coloured and super-silky.
I really really love these eye pencils. The colours are gorgeous and work really well on the waterline – this rich coppery brown is one of my favourites.
My one complaint is that these super soft pencils do transfer – I don't find they set 100% (and I don't find them waterproof either). These are £11 each. Do I like these more than Urban Decay 24/7 pencils?
Well, I don't think they last all day either and I have a soft spot for these colours in the Pixi range – I would say it's a tie!
A rough idea of how it looks on the eye!
They say: "Packed with lip-loving ingredients, this glossy gel balm protects & hydates lips instantly. After the balm wears off, lips are left tinted with a flattering, personalized hue just for you (colour & intensity depends on pH level of lips).'
Tinted Brilliance Balm in Baby Bare is a really nice lip product – I quite like these chubby sticks since you can apply the product with precision without too much bother.
This is somewhere between a tint and a balm and a gloss. Baby Bare is a natural pink which doesn't have too much pigment when you swatch it, but when I tried it on my lips it reacted to the 'PH' and I ended up with quite a bright eye catching rose!
I really liked the finished look of this balm – I thought it would be quite wishy washy and nothing-y, but it became quite a rich pink on my lips, and also quite healthy and plump.
I would definitely try more colours to see how the shades turn out on my lips particularly the pale ones! I don't know why these lipstick change colour so much on me, but they do!
Check out the entire range of Pixi Cosmetics here.
Is there anything that takes your fancy?

If H.G. Wells could hop in that time machine he imagined more than a century ago and suddenly pop up Saturday night in front of a TV tuned to BBC America, he'd likely be proud of what he's wrought.
The sci-fi, time-travel show initially ran from 1963 to 1989, becoming a UK pop culture touchstone (the rumble of The Doctor's TARDIS time-machine made an audio cameo during the Olympic opening ceremony), but never gaining more than cult status on this side of the Atlantic.
So maybe it's time to start watching "Doctor Who." Perhaps the best analogue for the uninitiated is "Star Trek," which similarly inspired multiple incarnations and fanatical devotion. The franchises also share a knack for telling human stories on a fantastical plane. While "Doctor Who" came before "Star Trek," the British show echoes the spirit of the early Trekker favorite "City on the Edge of Forever" episode, ripping and repairing holes through the time-space continuum.
The storylines can be heart-renders and mindbenders as well as time-benders. But those of us who came to "Doctor Who" late in the game found you can pop in and out, TARDIS-like, and catch up relatively quickly (for the instantly addicted, Netflix offers full "Doctor Who" immersion).

I do not know what I like more about the street style site Hel Looks - the fact that it features people from all walks of life, aged 12 to 55, in all their confidence and awkwardness; or the fact that the site features one or two (in the case of group photos) people at a time and lets them actually speak about their outfits, style, inspiration, and even about the events in their lives, in their own words.
Lassi (19): "I'm wearing a coat and a bag by Antti Asplund. The jeans are by Cheap Monday. I like to wear black, easy clothes. I don't want to stand out too much. I like to follow fashion but I don't think about my own clothes that much. I really like Vivienne Westwood and Gareth Pugh."
The site, in effect, becomes a collective style journal of the capital of Finland. Unlike the other famous street style pages, which tail the fashionistas every fashion week, Hel Looks keeps it locally relevant. It allows a city its own terms, and gives it enough space to dream.
Antti (24): "I like slim, sharp, unconventional cuts. My favourite piece right now are these wollen Raf Simons 3D pocket pants with a silk lining. Cold disappears with them on. The shirt is by Gaspard Yurkievich and the brooch is self-made."
Here are 112 looks (not people, since I'm not sure if there are repeats; or actually even more since there are some pictures with two guys) culled from the site from way back in 2005 till the present year.
Petteri (29): "I wear this grey t-shirt almost every day, because I can't decide what to wear. The vest I bought for Chaplin masquerade. The frames are from Specsavers, the calculator watch from Amazon.com, the flurry sneakers from Top-Sport and the necklace is made by my girlfriend Sera. Photos by Jamel Shabazz in Back in the Days inspire me."
These 112 images have been picked not for being on trend, but because each and every outfit suits the people who have chosen them (some with help from their friends, family, girlfriends, and even from strangers' clotheslines), who have decided to live and breathe in them.
Aapo (22): "Tonight I was inspired by Children of Corn trilogy. The jumpsuit, the jacket and the straw hat are second hand, the shoes and the shirt I've bought abroad."
Enough interesting reading for those with another extended holiday weekend.
Aleksi (31): "Tonight I wanted to dress up in the spirit of the 50's. That decade is the cornerstone of my style; neat and smart but practical. I wear lots of second hand. I prefer quality over quantity."
Henri (21): "I wear skinny jeans almost every day. I like black and brown, too. Cheap Monday makes nice jeans. I also like Boss. I hate indie music although my style may indicate something else. I listen to 90's grunge, not indie."
Otto (15): "My style is a mix of the 50's, the 60's and the 70's punk music. When I was 13, I started listening to The Who, The Clash and Eddie Cochran. That's how I found my style. Today I wanted to dress up in a mod-inspired style. The scarf adds colour to it. I mostly shop at thrift stores and small boutiques."
Johannes (27): "I like big cardigans, leather jackets and boots. At the moment I like grey. It's so easy to spice it up with other colours. Band t-shirts inspire me."
Juuso (37): "I'm wearing this hat because I have one meter long dreadlocks. I've had dreadlocks since the year 1988. Stylewise I'm inspired by early anti-fascist skinheads, gypsies, Rastafarians and old geezers."
Jussi (28): "I'm wearing women's jeans, a tank top and a cardigan by Diesel, a vintage hat from Helsinki10 and shoes from Rizzo store. I like carrot-shaped trousers and I often mix new and old stuff that I buy at UFF or Bondegatan in Stockholm. I think good-quality leather shoes and bags are essential. My favourite brands and designers are Cheap Monday, Marc Jacobs and Bottega Veneta."
Ville: "Two words describe my style best: mod and dandy. Tonight I'm wearing a Finnish vintage jacket from the 60's, Merc London trousers and Chelsea boots by Jeffery West. The 60's rules my style. I get inspired by music, movies and escapism."
Tommi (22): "This is my standard look. I like comfortable, wearable clothes. I shop while travelling and at second hand markets. This dress shirt is from UFF store in Riga. I changed the buttons and therefore I put the tie inside the shirt to show the buttons. Japanese art books, photography books and Ryan McGinley inspire me."
Artturi (27): "I was browsing The Sartorialist today and got inspired. All my clothes are second hand except the trousers. I like to wear dress shirts and knits. Gipsy men have a great style. Personality is always stylish, too."
Joona (17): "I always wear lots of black. Since last week I've worn this bunch of necklaces. The bag is second hand. It cost 10 euros. Besides of black I like simple clothes and skinny jeans. Homeless people with their ragged and oversize clothes inspire my style. On the other hand I like posh dandy style, too."
Jaakko: "I'm wearing a trench coat by Surface to Air, a sweater by Raf Simons, boots by A.P.C and Cheap Monday jeans from the time they only had this one wash. Moustache is my favorite accessory as it gives a certain je ne sais quoi to my outfit; regardless of what I'm wearing. I admire people with humour and something thorny in their style – flawless outfits are boring."
Giuliano (17): "I'm wearing Cheap Monday jeans which I ripped because they were a bit tight. The bag I bought yesterday in Turku. The 80 euro hat I got for 15 euros in Holland where I live nowadays. I'm into dark clothes and homeless looks. I love when people keep their styles really simple. New wave bands from the 80's like Depeche Mode inspire my style."
Matias (24): "I'm wearing a 70's ladies jeans jacket by an old Swedish brand, Guld & Blå. My trousers are by Whyred and the shoes by Tretorn. Skinny trousers and white shoes are my trademarks. I like to combine white shoes and white belt with dark clothes. I also really like polka dots, the bigger the better. 60's and 70's guys like Brian Jones and Keith Richards are stylish."
Ville (24): "I bought my coat at Play it Again Sam vintage store last spring. The shirt is from a friend for whom it was too big. The bag is from the 70's and used to belong to my mother. I usually wear a suit, because it fits every occasion. I like to wear black. I think Morrissey has a great style."
Henry (18): "I'm wearing an Oxford Club cardigan from UFF and shoes from Berlin. I like to wear second hand. If I buy new clothes, I try to find more special pieces. Painting, art and colours have inspired me lately."
Patrik (19): "My trench coat is second hand, the jeans by April77, the dress shirt by Fred Perry and the shoes by Vagabond.
I like simple, classic style and black, white or red clothes. My favourite brands are Fred Perry and Cheap Monday. The Hives are stylish."
Joni (23): "Cosmopolitan chic, neo-barbarism, functional simplicity and scandinavian mentality inspire me."
Lauri (22): "I'm wearing only second hand. Wikipedia inspires me."
Sasha (17): "I'm wearing a second hand jacket and my friend's old jeans with my mother's old bag. I like blue and dress shirts with ties. I guess my style is a bit dandyish. Now I'm searching for some Fred Perry and and a new bag."
Elias (16): "I like to wear a vest, as tight jeans as possible and white high-tops. Next I would like to buy a pair of pirate boots. I want to pay as little as possible for my clothes. Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull inspires my style."
Alan (55): "My style is 50's teddy boy. I haven't changed my style since 1965. Clothes have to be tailor-made but it's very hard to find a good tailor these days. The cut and the quality is much better when the clothes are tailor-made. I was very lucky to find these original 50's shoes four years ago."
Robin (31): "I'm wearing Balenciaga knitted long cardigan and jeans, Rick Owens leather jacket and studded scarf, Givenchy jumper with eyelets and Ann Demeulemeester boots. My style hasn't changed for many years. It's just layers and layers of black with some goth tones. I also like Martin Margiela, Romain Kremer, Blaak Homme and Laitinen. Lately I've been impressed by goth teenagers in Helsinki."
Wille (21): "I'm wearing a second hand leather jacket which cost 4 euros and my ex-girlfriend's jeans and scarf. I like clothes that have a story to tell. When I saw Daniel Palillo's designs half a year ago, I became interested in dressing up and clothes. I'm inspired by lotteries, lying and elderly people."
Fernando (20): "My headteacher gave me the 80's sport cloth for this jacket which I designed and made myself. The same design will be part of my Fernando Korpi AW08 collection. I like to wear high jeans like these Dressmann's. I also like dress shirts and ties. My style is a mix of gentleman and cityboy. Old scifi and Marvel comics like Iron Man and body building inspire me."
Achilles (20): "I'm wearing a necklace by Antti Asplund, an old jumper which I've cut with scissors and Cheap Monday jeans with a Louis Vuitton bag and belt. I like to wear black-and-white. Normally my style is more conservative and harmonious. My black jeans are my favourite piece."
Saku: "I just bought the jumper for 4 euros at UFF. Women who are past their middle-age inspire me. I also like strong, garish colours, drama and minimalism."
Miikka (35): "I bought my cap in Greece. Actually I bought 5 similar ones at the same time but in different colours. I like to wear tight jeans and black-and-white. Lykke Li and African prints inspire me at the moment. I think everybody should wear a hat, men and women alike. When you feel good, you look stylish."
Konsta (28): "I'm dressed up for friends' exhibition opening and the last school day of the spring. The jeans are self-customized with felt-tip drawings, the sunglasses are from a thrift store and the cap from a sale at a hip hop store. I had to steal the tie from a second hand shop in Espoo, because I didn't have enough money to buy it. It would have cost 3 euros."
Lauri (18): "All my clothes are second hand except the shoes and the necklace which is by Antti Asplund. The haircut is self-made. At the moment I find it hard to buy new clothes. I just use my old ones."
Ville (18): "Music inspires my style, especially British music from the 60's. The Beatles, The Hives and Aerosmith are all stylish bands. My style has no limits. I appreciate extraordinary people who do they own thing."
Jari (45): "I was in Amsterdam last weekend and got inspired by bows. The cap is actually by Louis Vuitton. The 10 year old frames are by Paul Smith. I usually wear jeans, t-shirt, sneakers and a cap. My stylist friends have told me to wear white dress shirts and white t-shirts this spring. Relaxed attitude and cleanliness are essential. Music videos and movies inspire me."
Niilo (15): "I like smart and sharp Stockholm style with trench coats and skinny jeans. Many of my classmates are interested in clothes and dress up the same way. I like Cheap Monday a lot and Benetton, too. My coat and shoes are from Stockholm, the jeans by Dr. Denim and the bag from H&M."
Noel (21): "My friend made the necklace, I just added the chain. The t-shirt is H&M and a bit fixed. I like big t-shirts and tight jeans. My style varies according to my mood, from more indie to more rave. Lots of my friends dress like this. I cut my own hair. I like American Apparel quite a lot. Daniel Palillo makes pretty nice designs. We Smoke Fags and Kitsuné Music inspire me."
Rekka (25): "I bought this PVC jacket about ten years ago. It might be the most ugly thing I own. The hoodie and the watch are from a second hand market in Kyoto. Incomplete things are stylish. My mother's old piano and the new coming of Finnish street art inspire me."
Janne (24): "I like smart quality clothes. I shop infrequently. If I could afford I would buy more Dior. Now I'm wearing Dior jeans, a jacket and shoes from Zara, a scarf from London, a H&M cap and vintage frames from Optiikkahuone. I think hair is the most important part of style. Clean-cut and smart haircuts are stylish at the moment. I like Toni & Guy. Their haircuts are controlled and chaotic at the same time."
Vesa-Pekka (41): "I bought the Balenciaga trousers in New York. I'm wearing them for the first time tonight. They remind me of my old breeches back in the 80's. I like the cut, too. I've dyed my YSL shirt black myself. The sequinned top is by Chloé. Lanvin and Balenciaga are my current favourites. I like pure and clear-cut but not too minimalistic clothes. Stylish at the moment: a mix of bright colours."
Antton (18): "Snob punk inspires me: smart, classic style with edge. I dress up only for myself. Artists living in the 70's and 80's in London and New York inspire my style. I shop at second hand markets and ordinary clothes stores."
Ossi (19): "I bought this Marjan Pejoski shirt for tonight's party. The brooch is made by my friend and it's called 'Wolf's Eye'. At the moment I'm inspired by the book House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski, especially the labyrinth theme in it. I also like clothes with clear shapes and rhythmicity."
Joonas (19): "My friend stole these jeans from a clothes line and gave them to me. Aarni Kurppa inspires me. He introduced the sleeveless t-shirts in Finland in spring 2006."
Juha (44): "My coat is an old fireman's coat. A friend gave it to me. I've had many similar coats from the 40's. The traditional Finnish "jatsari" boots are from Salvation Army's second hand market where most of my clothes are from. I like to wear Marimekko's Jokapoika shirts and tailored old-fashioned trousers. It's my pay day and I'm going to buy a new Jokapoika shirt today."
Peter (27): "I mostly wear black. You can pair it with pretty much anything. I like sophisticated but egdy clothes. Long, abstract sweaters are nice, but I don't like nu-rave thing. Music inspires my style, pop rock and new wave like Bauhaus and The Sound. My favourite designers are Hedi Slimane and Raf Simons and my favourite brands Number (N)ine and April77."
Mies (25): "Because everybody's wearing black this autumn, I chose a red sweater instead. Everything except the jeans is second hand. This period of darkness inspires me. I think Nainen is stylish and Antti Asplund is cool."
Joonas (21): "I'm wearing a jacket by Martin Margiela, Acne jeans, a pullover by Laitinen and shoes from London. My style is eclectic, from classic to more rock-inspired and rugged. I think everything dark and gloomy is stylish at the moment, like Laitinen, one of my favourites. Next spring the prints are coming back. Psychedelic, surrealistic and dadaist prints."
Valentine (17) and Naniyo (19): "Our style is gyaru-o. It's a male version of Japanese gal style. So-called wolf hair, rock-inspired clothes and wearing lots of jewellery are parts of gyaru-o style. We like gyaru-o style, because it looks good and it's something special. We listen to psychedelic trance. Our favourite magazine is Men's Egg. Our clothes are from Japan."
Antti (25): "I'm wearing a jacket by Marjan Pejoski, a second hand hat and boots and self-made accessories. Black, darkness and gothic inspire me now. And the witch from The Blair Witch Project. Everything is black this autumn. I would like to spend a gothic Christmas at an isolated cottage in Lapland."
Aapo (21): "I'm wearing my uncle's old hat, my friend's mother's trousers, a bag from New York and YSL shoes. I invest in shoes. I only wear shoes by Gucci or YSL. I just came back from New York where I lived for a year. New York inspires my style. Now I dress up more radically. People wear less clothes in New York."
Äni Hunden (20): "I bought my trousers at a second hand market at the Swedish Theatre. I've customized them myself. The jacket is second hand as well. My friend's girlfriend bought the hat in Paris. I like to wear sympathetic clothes. I can wear anything, even my mother's clothes."
Francis (34): "I guess my style is funky and alternative, casual smart. I usually mix and match. American Apparel is one of my favourite brands. It's affordable and comfortable and they have bright colours. Raf Simons is my style role model."
Samuli (27): "Today I don't want to stand out too much. I'm wearing mostly Swedish brands like Tiger of Sweden, Filippa K and Acne. Lately I've been inspired by Pirates of the Caribbean, travelling, autumn and boring-looking businessmen in their pink ties and well-groomed hair-dos. Stylish at the moment: walking sticks."
Joonas (24): "I'm wearing a second hand anorak, second hand shoes, Whyred trousers and a second hand bag. A bigger upper body with slim trousers looks good at the moment. Anoraks are stylish. I like Swedish brands and read Swedish fashion blogs like Breach of Style and Klang."
Lauri (17): "All my clothes are second hand except the shoes. The shirt is my mother's old and the trousers I customized myself. HEL LOOKS, Facehunter and some magazines like Kasino inspire me. I also liked the designs by Santino Rice in Project Runway. Daniel Palillo is my favourite Finnish designer."
Yvan (29):"I'm wearing just vintage from different countries. I don't have any rules when I dress up. It's an instinct feeling that guides me. What's hot at the moment? For men: showing your socks and wearing hats. For ladies red lipstick. People could also play more with references beyond the 20's. There's huge potential."
Jonas (22): "I bought the sunglasses at Hietalahti second hand market for 5 euros. The t-shirt is made by my girlfriend. Johnny Thunders looks good. Cheap things inspire me."
Lauri (25): "Blue jeans are nice. And colours, especially pink. 80's t-shirts with He-Man and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles prints inspire me. The Turtles cap is from UFF. It was part of the store's interior decoration for a long time, until I finally managed to buy it. The jewellery is by Antti Asplund. Someone fixed it to my braces at some grabby after-party."
Juha (23): "This monkey is my best friend. The bag is by Vivienne Westwood. They only made 200 bags like this. Pete Burns has one, too, but his bag has lion, not leopard prints. Sleet and nakedness inspire me."
Ansver (23): "I like to mix things and styles. I think Rick James was stylish. The neon jacket is from a second hand market, the fur cap I found at my grandfather's place. I collect old magazines and girls' telephone numbers."
Juho (28): "First I found this bootlace tie. Then I realized I need a cowboy style dress shirt, too. Lately I've been wearing mostly black, grey and white."
Phil (21): "I suppose my style is a mix of streetwear and old, traditional British style. At the moment I've been inspired by hip hop and Helsinki. I like monotone colours. My favourite brands are New Era, Kim Jones and Cheap Monday."
Alex (25): "My girlfriend found the tie from a rubbish shop. The jacket is Victor&Rolf for H&M, the "Armani" sweater is bought from China, the glasses are by Miu Miu. I like Cheap Monday stuff although everyone wears it. I like second hand, but it takes time to find good pieces. My style tip: Go for the look of the Columbian drug dealer. Remember the clip-ons."
Tenho (18): "I mostly wear second hand. It's cheaper that way. This Love Records shopping bag means a lot to me. Love Records was the most legendary record company in Finland and it's really hard to get these bags anymore. I like the 60's and the 70's. Syd Barrett from Pink Floyd is my style role model."
Pyry (17): "My mother gave me the cap and the gloves. The jacket is one of my favourites. I've had it for more than a year now. The jeans I bought from a friend of mine. The shoes I want to get rid of. They are so worn-out. I try to buy as cheap clothes as possible. I like the style of Danish bands like Mew and Kashmir."
Anssi: "I like colourful clothes with bold prints. Now I'm wearing a CTRL hoodie, riding breeches from Beamhill and second hand shoes. I like piercings. Architecture in Helsinki and Regina are stylish bands. Harajuku style inspires me, too."
Ilari (22): "This t-shirt used to belong to my mother. My father brought it from Japan some time in the 80's. The trousers are self made. I wanted to make big, baggy trousers with big patch pockets. Be yourself, quit trying: namedropping is out, passé is so passé!"
Pekka (27): "My style is minimalistic, slim and pointed. My friends' styles inspire me. A must for the spring: boots. Now I'm wearing Boss trousers, Zara dress shirt, H&M tie, Brothers cardigan and boots from Tallinn."
Patrik (27): "Tonight my style is relaxed, sporty and colourful. Normally my style is a bit darker than this. My favourite stores are Wunder and Helsinki10. I like Belgian designers, Bernhard Willhelm for example. His style is special and fresh. Sci-fi, laser and fooling around inspire me!"
Reko (11) and Jere (12). Reko: "I bought this scarf last year. I like it because it's stylish. My jeans are Acne but Levi's and Lee are ok, too. I don't like bright colours. Next I would like to buy a white or grey WESC hoodie." Jere: "I'm wearing jeans by Lee. The shoes gotta be Vans or Lacoste – other brands are ugly. I would never wear rubber boots. We listen to r'n'b and rap. Uniq and Elastinen are the best."
Sebastian (16): "My sister is my style role model. She's beautiful no matter what she's wearing. She always finds nice things for me. I like classic British style. I like to play with colours. Most of my shirts are colourful: pink, turqoise or yellow."
Wilhelm (16): "The leather jacket is second hand, the cap used to belong to my father, the scarf I've had since a kid, the jeans are Cheap Monday. Next I would like to buy a black-and-violet hoodie from Bisquit Stash. And white retro sneakers. My sister is my stylist. My style role model is James Dean."
Max (12): "I like these clothes because they are different and extraordinary. I don't like to wear same kind of clothes as everyone else. I like black and red clothes and punk style. I don't have any style role models. HEL LOOKS website inspires me. I would like to be a professional slalom skier like Kalle Palander."
Tero (28) and Susanna (28): Tero: "The long johns inspire me, the ones I'm wearing now, for example. Pulttibois is nice, too." Susanna: "The winter inspires me. White clothes and white accessories. I would like to have more white jewellery. I'm tired of having an oblong jeans-bottom. I want to be a little lady."
Mikko (28): "I'm an artist and making my doctoral dissertation on the artist myths – that's why wearing a baret is a kind of a joke. I like comfortable and warm clothes. Michel Foucault is the most stylish person in the world. He managed to iconize his look: the poloneck and the bald head."
Matti (23): "The jacket and the jeans are self made. The jacket print is made with old c-cassettes. The jeans legs I've replaced with sleeves. Old computer games and green colour inspire me. My style role model is Mauri Jormakka. He's a former sportsman and from Jyväskylä like me." Mauri Jormakka was the first to produce shell suits in Finland.
Carlo (16): "The shoes are the most important part of my style because I like to skate. I usually wear tight jeans when skating. These are the most baggy trousers I have. The bag is a gift from my friend's mother. I would never wear leather pants."
Kalle (25): "I like comfortable and retro style clothing. I often wear a dress shirt and a tie. This jacket used to belong to my father back in the 70's. I'm a true sneaker head. Asics is my obsession. So many things inspire me: the 60's, New York, hip hop & pop styles."
Jaakko (30): "The shoes are a birthday present from Germany. I bought them myself. The bag is self-made. The next big thing is skinhead gay sailors. Or the Dutch style from the end of the 90's. The queens of style are Nina Hagen and Ola Salo. The capital of style is Berlin, because both Nina Hagen and Marlene Dietrich come from there."
Joonas (18): "I've worn lot of black lately. Black clothes always look good. I don't think about my style that much. I like Pete Doherty's style. He's stylish in a ragged way. The hat is from Sweden, the dotted Marimekko shirt from a second hand store."
Ministeri Pelle (17): "I like colourful clothes. I've customized the vest and the jeans myself. The more ugly you look, the more beautiful you are. My obsession is beer."
Harri (39): "Rockabilly, Rock'n Roll Gucci, Finland vs. Sweden and dark nights inspire me. Days are getting shorter, nights are getting darker. You need to do something! Hot at the moment: layers but in reverse order: large clothes underneath, tight clothes on top."
Antti (24): "These are all from Berlin! T-shirt is by Starstyling, shorts APC and shoes 406g. The necklace is a pocketknife which Kaira gave me. A Clockwork Orange and The Mad Hatter from Alice's Adventures in the Wonderland inspire me at the moment."
Antti (20): "When my father met my mother, he was wearing this leather jacket. Shoes are from Antwerpen. At first they were too small, but somehow they got bigger. The bag used to belong to my sister when she was child. Last time I bought a pair of linen trousers. Funk guys are stylish. My obsessions are drawing, hanging around and photography."
Jarkko (25): "Too bad I'm not wearing a pair of trousers I made this morning out of an old overall. I need to customize my clothes because I'm so small. David Bowie is my style idol. Acne is one of my favorite brands. The most expensive piece I've ever bought is an Umbro pullover by Kim Jones. It cost 300 euros and I've only worn it once."
Markus (22): "I bought these golf trousers from a sale at a sport store. Other clothes are second hand. I like to combine colourful and divergent patterns. I think Michael Jackson is stylish. My obsession is stand up comedy."
Antti (21): "My style is my style! I dyed these jeans myself and added the zips. I've worn these wallet chains every day for more than ten years. There are many great styles, from business suits to rock looks. But the most stylish band ever is The Clash. They were eccentric."
Lauri (19): "Now that I've found these crazy Cheap Monday jeans I can finally stop constantly taking in the seams of my jeans! These jeans are absolutely crazy. I saw a picture of them and I was in love! What can I wear after these jeans?"
Jaakko (21): "The secret of my style is Oksanen – it's the only place I shop. Now my apparel is springlike: I'm wearing just a t-shirt underneath my jacket and still I'm not cold. My favorite colour? Let's say brown."
Marko (31): "I'm wearing a young gentleman's uniform. Jacket and trousers are hand made, suitcase and scarf second hand, serial killer gloves are from some discount store. I like clothes with some kind of permanence. Big logos cause me mental rash! The capital of style is definitely New York. You can still find great old school clothes shops there. I think self-confidence is the corner stone of style."
Anders (38): "I like all things authentic and real. For example this leather jacket is a true biker jacket. And I like these Evisu jeans because they are raw denim. I like vintage, Levi's Red and dream of Dsquared. I do follow trends but I do not necessarily meet them. My style idol is a synthesis of all rock stars!"
Juha (24): "I often wear band t-shirts because I just keep on getting them. I like zip hoodies and jeans, too. I guess my favorite jeans brand is Lee. This hoody is from Lost Shoe in New York. Jacket is Levi's and sneakers Vision. I'm not loyal to any brand, though. I don't buy that many clothes."
Erik (19): "I need a new leather jacket. My only obsession is skate boarding. The most stylish skater in the world is Patrick Melcher. Otherwise my style idol is Dee Dee Ramone."
Tuomas (15): "I just bought this cap from Tetuan. The jacket I found at a market at the countryside. It's hard to find nice clothes. My obsessions are skating and cafes. I like The Smiths, Bravery, Ramones and Mötorhead."
Miska (33): "All kinds of visual things inspire me. I like to mix old and new. I have many different styles. Today my style is more clean-cut because I just met my girlfriend's parents for the first time!"
Henrik (23): "I found this Luhta jacket one month ago at UFF. I like down-to-earth colours and red t-shirts. My favorite is a brown cardigan that my mother made for my father in the 70's. Female Sonic Youth fans are stylish. My obsession is touching music like Bob Dylan."
Heikki (21): "I came to Finland for Christmas holidays without any proper clothes. These are all from the recycling center and from my grandfather's wardrobe. I like second hand and Icelandic design like Dead. I like to dress up. I was encouraged during my stay in Iceland. Icelanders have the courage to wear even glitterpop bum bags."
Ville: "My style is a modern version of dandyism with a touch of Bohemianism. I don't follow fashion or brands, I rather put my money into books and culture. My obsession is art."
Mikko (19): "I like leather jackets, boots, sneakers, jeans and leather bum bags. I've had this style for many years – I don't want to give up something that I've once approved. 80's Michael Jackson was stylish. I do shop quite a lot but mostly second hand, because the clothes stores are nowadays so expensive. I like clothes that feel natural and cool."
Emmi (19) and Lauri (19). Emmi: "The secret of my style is my grandmother's wardrobe. It's not worth spending money on new clothes. My style idols are Andy Warhol and David Bowie." Lauri: "I like black and tight clothes. Normally my style is simpler than tonight." "We are going to be university drop-outs! We'll found a dirt expensive boutique selling lousy clothes!"
Pietari: "At the moment I'm inspired by black, skulls, dandyism, decadence and Japan, although the last one sounds like a cliche. I can't help myself but military is always on top! I've always collected uniforms. It's worth investing in them because they will be in fashion sooner or later again. I like instant dressing: to take the first garments that happen to greet me."
Cato (23): "My style is kind of boring. All these clothes are from H&M. I think you can really find nice things there, too. I can wear anything, I have different styles. I do follow fashion. Lately I bought Tokion and Bulgaria magazines. You can see more special clothing here in Helsinki than in my home country Norway. It's more mainstream over there."
Unski (48): "I've had this style since 1973. That year I found Chuck Berry and sold all my lousy prog rock LP's. The final step was when I saw American Graffiti. I shop at second hand markets and have suits and shirts tailored in Far East. For example these pants were made after my own design in Thailand. I don't feel myself at home in modern clothes. I think we are living unstylish times."
Sasu (23): "I've had a black feeling lately. This fall I've been to minimalistic, black-and-white things. I often have stereotypies – like sailor styles or uniforms – as a starting point of my style. Sometimes it's just a detail that inspires me. I cut a hole in my hoody because there was a logo on it. Underneath I'm wearing a nice black-and-white Eva Dahlgren t-shirt."
Marko (26): "I try to find more individual clothes and invest in my style. I think style is a question of self-confidence; many people don't dare to stand out. I also like feminine colours like pink. The combination of tie and vest gives a nice touch, too. My favorite brands are Dsquared and Dolce & Gabbana." Jacket and pants Antonio Marras, shoes Neil Barrett for Puma.
KSPR (31): "I've made this panda sweatshirt myself. The gloves and scarf are from H&M. I try to visit H&M once a year, at least every time I visit a new city. It's amazing how global the brand is. Jenni brought these Swear shoes from London. She also found this blazer from a dump for me. Hot stuff in the year 2006: t-shirts with bicycle shorts. I'm also waiting for the denim sweat suits to reappear again."
Eero (21): "My style is quite strict: I always wear dark clothes, tight jeans and Converse shoes. I like blazers and leather jackets. I think 80's brittpop-newwave-punk is stylish. You can find interesting things from speed metal at the turn of the 90's, too. Interpol is stylish...but I guess this is quite a common answer?"
Jyri (28): "My glasses are a retro model from Optiikkahuone. I like colourful dress shirts - I work with engineers and I hope my shirts will cheer them up. The pins are from Karhu designers. I support Karhu. I wish Vuokko would make a comeback, too. When someone mixes beautiful and ugly and makes new kind of beauty out of it, that's stylish. I like to shop at Södermalm, Shoreditch and Shibuya."
Teemu (16): "My style is rock. Tight jeans and suit jacket are from The Clash, my hair is Skidrow style and my make-up is Hanoi Rocks. I shop at girls' departments because I like tight and skinny clothes. I get jeans from my friends and then I take in them. I would never wear baggy clothes. My grandmother made this mitten for me."
Ville (17) and Valtteri (16). Ville: "I make clothes myself. I always sew by hand so I can watch TV at the same time. I've studied how the shirts are constructed and then imitated them and improved the pattern." Valtteri: "I like to wear hats, because it's easy to change the style with them. I customize and make clothes. I've sewed a poncho for example. I had no pattern for it, I just made it."
Juha (22): "I dress up according to the weather or the situation. I don't respect any labels or brands."

This is an inspiration post highlighting the kind of style that appeals to me when it comes to working with other models. I'm not really into grunge and I'm hoping that one day I'll have the opportunity to shoot high end designers whose clothes are designed for women who are powerful, elegant, confident, sexy, demure, effortless. I love feminine silhouettes and intense expression, strong body language. My favourite editorials are those that tell a story about the kind of woman wearing the clothes. The mood is very important and its usually the difference between an experienced model and a new girl.
Kate, Eniko, Malgosia, Natasha and Isabeli are genius.

Bangor, Maine – UMBC rallied from a 24-point deficit to take a late second half lead, but host Maine prevailed, 83-80, at Cross Insurance Center.
UMBC senior forward Chase Plummer (Plainfield, N.J./St. Patrick) led all scorers with 23 points, while standout freshman guard Rodney Elliott (Baltimore, Md./John Carroll) added 21.
The Retrievers trailed, 55-31, with 1:32 remaining in the first half and were still behind, 61-40, with 14:50 remaining. But UMBC's pressure defense, missing in the first half, forced nine second-half Maine turnovers and aided in a huge rally. Over the next 6:38, the Retrievers would outscore the Black Bears, 26-4, capped by Plummer's elbow jumper, which gave the visitors a 66-65 advantage with 8:12 to play.
The lead would change hands eight more times and there would be four ties until the four-minute mark of the game. Sophomore guard Aaron Morgan (Langhorne, Pa./Council Rock North) hit one of two free throws to tied the score at 73-all with 4:19 remaining. But Maine sharpshooter Zarko Valjarevic hit a jumper to give Maine the lead for good 16 seconds later.
Elliott, who hit 12-of-17 from the charity stripe, missed a pair on UMBC's next possession and Maine's Ethan Mackey gave the hosts a four-point lead on a lay-in with 3:02 remaining.
The Retrievers continued to be plagued by poor free throw shooting, as they missed two-of-four on two later possessions.
However, UMBC would get a key stop when junior forward Devarick Houston (Jonesboro, Ga./Mays) blocked his fifth shot of the afternoon with 26 seconds left and the Retrievers called time out, trailing, 81-80, with 26 seconds remaining. With 11 seconds left, Elliott attempted a lob to Houston, but the high-flying wing, could not catch the ball cleanly enough to finish the alley-oop dunk.
UMBC quickly fouled Maine's Troy Reid-Knight, who hit the two free throws. Plummer missed the game-tying three-point attempt with five seconds left, but Elliott snared the rebound and fed senior Quentin Jones (Baltimore, Md./Mount St. Joseph) in the right corner. Jones' attempt from behind the arc hit drew iron as the buzzer sounded.
The Retrievers drew 29 Maine fouls and made 40 trips to the free throw line, but missed 19 attempts. Maine was 20-of-30 from the charity stripe.
UMBC (7-15, 3-6 America East) hit 42.6 percent from the floor (26-of-61), while Maine cooled in the second half, finishing at 47.4 percent (27-of-57). The Black Bears (5-16, 3-6) were 9-of-18 from behind the arc.
Plummer hit 8-of-14 shots from the floor, 6-of-11 from the free throw line and led UMBC with eight rebounds in 24 minutes of action. Elliott added seven caroms, three assists and two steals.
Valjarevic, who scored 24 points in the first meeting, a 79-76 UMBC win on Jan. 11, shared team scoring honors with Xavier Pollard. Each guard scored 18 points, and Pollard added seven assists and three blocked shots.
UMBC's first two possessions of the game ended in made three-point field goals by guards and Morgan. But the Black Bears began their torrid first half from the floor by scoring the game's next 15 points to take a 15-6 advantage with just 4:49 elapsed in the half.
The Retrievers would get within 20-14 at the 12:03 mark, but Maine outscored UMBC, 36-22, over the final 11:41 of the stanza. The Black Bears buried 8-of-13 from behind the arc and drew assists on 13 of 19 field goals. By contrast, the Retrievers misfired on 10-of-19 free throw attempts and trailed, 56-36, at the break.
The 56 points is the most allowed in any half by the Retrievers in 2013-14.
UMBC opens a three-game homestand by hosting UNH on Wednesday, Feb. 5 at the RAC Arena.

Nature works to filter water and to release water over time, thereby reducing the amount of artificial treatment needed to filter water and helping to prevent flooding. In this lesson, students learn about the importance of water quality for human health and agriculture. They relate their own consumption activities to the water supply and also brainstorm various threats to the water supply. By contrasting natural filters with impervious (paved) areas, students compare the impact of development on the ability of nature to provide clean freshwater.

1975 Chevrolet Corvette Race Car - Fast Line Around The Learning Curve
1975 Chevrolet Corvette Race Car - Fast Line Around The Learning Curve
It was a car that could do over 220 miles an hour on the back stretch at Daytona, then drift through the high-banked turns like a World of Outlaws car, fully under control. The "Spirit of Sebring" Corvettes built by John Greenwood in the mid-'70s represented a high water mark in the design and construction of road-racing Corvettes. These were the last cars that he built using the production C3 Corvette frame; his later cars were full-tube-chassis ones.
It was, in Greenwood's words, the wildest production-based road racer to date, much less the wildest production-based one ever. "Without a doubt, the #75 car was, for me, the most fun, biggest rush, and biggest reward for doing all that kind of stuff, of any car that we ever did," Greenwood says from his Apopka, Florida Corvette store, Greenwood Corvettes. "That was THE car...that car was a bad boy!"
Back in the spring of 1975, we saw the #75 "Spirit of Sebring" Vette in action at Laguna Seca, in an IMSA Camel GT Challenge race. As Greenwood recalls, that race was as much a test/research-and-development session as it was a competition against the factory Porsches and BMWs in the field. "We didn't do well there," he says. "There was a learning curve with the car." Once he took the fast line on that curve, Greenwood wound up with a car that ran up front in both IMSA Camel GT and Trans Am-and scored three wins in Trans Am, leading to that series' 1975 championship.
Greenwood's foray into road racing followed a successful career street-racing W-engined Chevys (Impalas and Corvettes) on Woodward Avenue outside Detroit. Turning to road racing in the late '60s, after initial success at the club level starting at Waterford Hills, Greenwood took his Corvette racing operation nationwide, winning two consecutive Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) A/Production National Championships in 1970-71.
A sponsorship deal with BFGoodrich in '72 resulted in his first highly-modified Vette racers, called the "swing-arm cars" by Greenwood, which he ran in IMSA's Camel GT Challenge and SCCA's Trans-Am Series in 1972 and '73 (scoring three Trans-Am wins in '73) wearing ZL1 flares over their shaved BFG Radial T/As. His next race cars after the swing-arm cars, were to be progressions, while still wearing BFG's regular-production tires.
Troubles with Goodrich's production-derived tires--when they switched from 60-series to 50-series ones to race on in '73--led to on-track problems, and the BFG program ended after that season. But that didn't stop Greenwood from getting design, fabrication and technical help for his next C3 race cars.
It started at a test session on the big oval at central Ohio's Transportation Research Center (TRC). "At the time, I was getting more and more associated with Zora Arkus-Duntov," Greenwood recalls. "He and I sat down and talked, and I said, 'I want to build the most highly-modified platform car.'" Nothing brought out the best in Zora like a challenge-especially one involving Corvettes, as Greenwood witnessed. "As I'm sitting there talking to Zora, we're sitting on a curb and I'm telling him what I'm doing, and he's talking about the body work, and he wanted to make this wide body with the fender flares angling up. He just kept going with his hands, and explains to me how he wanted to make the fenders and bodywork on the car." And, so was born the concept of using wider bodywork to create downforce.
Greenwood's new racing Corvette turned out to have as much state-of-the-art Chevy and GM help as a privateer could dream of back then, as GM's corporate racing ban didn't end for another decade. "We came up with a deal where they ended up designing the body that was on the car at GM, at Chevrolet's Advanced Styling studio," says Greenwood, who also notes the contribution that future-GM Styling boss Jerry Palmer (and its then-current chief, Bill Mitchell) made at the time, as well as Randy Wittine's. "They made some temporary 'tools' (body tooling), and gave me the first tools. We made a deal where we would go ahead and produce the parts, for any Corvette person who wanted to use them. The parts ended up being homologated for FIA, so we could run them at LeMans (or in any other FIA-sanctioned races). ended up having the clay model done, and they made the parts." Also, those wide-body parts got GM factory part numbers, and were listed in the Chevrolet Power service manual (along with stuff like LS7 crate engines and bare ZL1 blocks) for Chevy racers that was released in the mid-'70s.
Underneath, Greenwood's new race car got plenty of big-name attention, too. "Bob Riley designed the chassis and suspension, and the fabricator was Ron Fornier, who was with Penske when their Camaro dominated Trans Am with Mark Donahue driving," says Greenwood. "Riley and Fornier worked real close together building those platforms, and I worked with Riley on what I wanted to the point where we ended up using the C3 spindles." Greenwood says the FIA's rules-which SCCA and IMSA followed then-- specified that they had to use production Corvette items like spindles, A-arms, and all geometry points. "We literally stretched all those rules-it cost me twice as much to build the #75 and #76 wide-body cars than it did to build the tube-chassis cars!"
One planned feature of the new car didn't make it on until later: cross-ram fuel injection. "My plan was to come out with this platform, chassis and suspension AND cross-ram injection, with the BFGoodrich tires," Greenwood notes. "I didn't get it done in time for the BFGoodrich deal because of the second-year tire change caused so many problems with the other car, that there wasn't any reason to throw any more speed, or horsepower and all that to the tires."
The result? Greenwood remembers it like it rolled out of his shop yesterday. "That is the most outrageous modified Production-based car that anybody has done! The car would go 230-235 miles per hour-it would enter the banking at Daytona at 221 miles an hour, and I didn't lift at all!"
Before its successful runs came the early races and the problems attendant to an all-new car. "We ran into header problems at the first race at Road Atlanta. It was actually some really 'tricky' headers that Jere Stahl built for us. He'll tell you what we learned right there changed the way he did everything from then on-and he was the guy building Penske's headers, and everybody else's."
Once the car was sorted out, it ran up front, and stayed there in many a race. That led to three Trans Am wins in 1975, at Pocono, Portland, and Nelson Ledges, plus enough other up-front finishes to give him the '75 Trans Am title, while being a factor in the IMSA Camel GT title chase-no matter who drove it. "Milt Minter was a contender, and I was not," Greenwood says. " I told him, I'll let you run my car, because its last race was the November '74 race at Daytona. The championship was between him and Peter Gregg-whoever finished higher in that race won the championship. I put the new cross-ram injection on-I finally got one machined and built, and on the car-and Milt opts to run Kaiser's Porsche, because he had a better chance to finish in the position he needed to beat Gregg to win the championship. I take the #75 car, and I had it working good! We stomped everybody-I won, Milt was third and Peter second, so he (Gregg) won the IMSA championship."
But, in 1976, early bad luck led to a crash. "The next year, the car went to the Daytona 24 Hour. I brought in other drivers, and one of them stepped off the apron going into the tri-oval, and totaled the car. We did re-build it, while we were bringing out another car, and ran it at Sebring. It qualified on the pole again."
Soon after, it was sold to Dr. Juan Olivera, an orthopedic surgeon. Unfortunately, he died in a dirt-bike crash not long after he bought it, and the wide-body C3's history took it to Germany, where it was raced with success. However, after the '80s, the car's history gets hazy, and Greenwood says he doesn't know where it is right now.
But it's a car that Greenwood would like to restore, to the same configuration it was in when he raced it. One big reason: Its "user-friendliness." "When I drove it at Daytona, we'd go down the back straight and enter the banking at 221 miles an hour, and drift it," he recalls fondly. "I'd say we were 30 degrees out. Everybody who was up in the sky lounges at the time told me about the angle the car was on. It was actually under control that way. That car was 'user-friendly'! All my other cars, I did the same thing with all of them."

I don't think that a militant attitude toward religion is the right strategy. Attacking someones beliefs rarely wins you any points, and it definitely won't convince somebody to your point. In fact it probably strengthens their religious outlook, and they become convinced that it was some cosmic spiritual test. And honestly it's kind of offensive to attack a persons privately held beliefs with your privately held beliefs. It's kind of similar to the type of oppression that religious extremists try to force on the US. I support religious freedom because it places value on an ideal common to all people; the right not to believe the crazy shit that other people believe. When you attack someone's beliefs you are also attacking that ideal. If you don't stand for tolerance, what's to stop an extremist from arguing for a state religion, and being right? Reason? Knowledge? Nope.
The question shouldn't be how can I convince others to unbelieve the existence of a supreme being? That's a waste of time. Why even bother with the struggle of denying God? Our society works based on the rights we grant others in exchange for the rights granted to us. Human law. and if we neglect our system of rule to destroy a religion, then we are inviting tyranny to run amok. But if we grant freedom of religion on the condition that it can't interfere with established law, then we have a nice little position to call out religion when it overreaches.
I think that these extremists are shooting themselves in the foot by trying to advocate a national religion. Just like the demographics in the US are changing, so too might the religious make up. And the national religion they advocated for might not be the one they had in mind.
So, the point I'm making is that attacking religion is tyrannous at a certain point, it serves no purpose but to impose a set of beliefs on others, and to oppress them. But defending against religious tyranny is a virtue.
I awoke this morning with a clearer head about the subject.
In the military we all learn the same phrase by heart: "I can not confirm or deny the blah blah blah" -it's a set statement that shuts people up -because it's the end of the story from the person saying it.
So when asked, "My official stance is, I choose NOT follow ANY FAIRY-TALES... And I'm perfectly fine with others conducting themselves that way -As long as they're not passing any laws based on them or hurting people (period)."
Now I have to practice it, and wait for someone to ask me :).
I don't see why we should be gentle and mild, esp. on the religious lunatics that think they have the right to use their fairy stories to control the lives of other people. It's not as if religion has become something private in society. Even today, in most parts of the world, religious organisations have deep political control and influence and the religious cause and promote high levels of violence and other inhumanity. I think that if we really want religion to finally go away and society to start to get better we need to stop being passive and mild and intellectual. We ought to be doing everything (non-violent of course) we can to combat religion. I think culture jamming is very effective at this and protest, for a start.
hrmm... only being proactive is the answer.. no matter how bad the hate gets this is still the USA secular or bust 1st and .. well, bust on the 2nd amend too!
We have rights this aint' theocratic paki'iran'russia'stan nagh mean!?
I'm a secular anti-theist. I have not had the pleasure of talking with many religous people about it. However, come election day, I might just get the oppurtunity. My Polling Place is a church. In fact, I am hoping to get this oppurtunity.
I have talked with my wife about my positions against God. She is a catholic. Though she is cool about it, she doesn't present arguments for her beliefs. And when I give her mine, I recieve a glossy-eyed, apathetic look. So hopefully the chance will come this tuesday, and I can offer more to this reply.
