I'm really sorry if this is the incorrect forum to post on.
I have recent began selling my pieces on Etsy.
My prices are between 10-30pound and I had charged £2.50 for recorded post.
I am not selling much, a piece or two a week if I'm lucky but it is a hobby.
I recently went to post a piece this week which I sold for £20 via recorded delivery, I always believed that it covered everything up to the value of £20, however I was advised that it wouldn't compensate if lost or misdelivered and that I was to choose special delivery which starts at 6.40.
It's a trivial concern but I would like to know how others deal with this, when selling low/mid value items, do you send via 1st class or recorded to ensure its been delivered or do you request a postage charge for special delivery.
I feel bad when I'm charging nearly an additional third of the price of the piece in postage to ensure it's covered.
Hoping this makes sense and not the ramblings of a novice.
thanks x

open sky
On Saturday, OCTOBER 5th, the Open Sky Sangha will host a DAY SIT from 9:30AM-3:30PM. The day will include a Dharma talk, sitting and walking zazen, and interviews with Senior Dharma Teacher Tony Sager. A $25-$40 donation requested. More information about the group follows:
THE ALBUQUERQUE OPEN SKY SANGHA is affiliated with the Kwan Um School of Zen, an international Zen sangha that originates from the Korean Zen tradition. It meets every evening at the Albuquerque Zen Center from 6-7:20 PM.
The purpose of the group is to practice together and to share and explore the dharma. While some of the core teachings and practice approaches of the Kwan Um School of Zen certainly are shared and emphasized, ultimately this group is not so much about a particular school or lineage of Zen as it is about the Dharma at large. Tony Sager, a senior Dharma teacher of the Kwan Um School of Zen, is the group leader. He attends the group every other week. The weeks he is present, typically include periods of sitting and walking meditation. Tony also gives a brief talk on some aspect of the Dharma followed by a time for questions/answers and sharing.
One of Tony's focuses is to help people establish a daily practice that they can comfortably incorporate into their daily lives. Tony stresses both the formal practice as well as the informal practices (how to have a moment-to-moment mind, to really be present and aware, during the course of all one's everyday life activities and situations). He strives to connect practicing accessible to each person and their current life challenges and circumstances. Eventually, meditation becomes organic and part of the fabric of everyday life.
Tony is always open to giving meditation instruction for beginners and experienced practitioners who seek guidance. The weeks Tony is not present, Paul Sonia leads the meditation periods.
Participants are encouraged to give dhanna (a donation). $5 is suggested but any amount that one is able to give will be appreciated. No one is turned away if they are unable to give something.

The groom recites "Harei at mekudeshet li okay'dat Moshe V'Yisrael"- "behold you're thus sanctified to me by the regulation of Moses and Israel" as he places the ring on the bride's proper index finger. The bride's silence and acceptance of the ring signify her settlement to the marriage. This part of the ceremony referred to as kiddushin The groom's giving an object of worth to the bride is necessary for the wedding to be authentic.
Delight your company with creative banquet delicacies.
Two weeks ago we had our dream wedding in Wells Dwelling. It was a tremendous and ideal day. All people at Wells made sure every part went easily and seamlessly. Main up to the day the group in Wells have been so supportive, educated and useful in planning it all. The meals was completely out of this world, we had a lot of joyful buddies and all of the staff had been terribly pleasant and accommodating. We actually had our fairy-tale wedding and we could not be happier. Wells is a gorgeous place full of stunning folks and I might recommend it to any brides or grooms to be.

They're saying the simplest issues in life are free. And we occur to agree. That's the reason, everytime you e-guide three nights or additional, we'll present you a wedding without spending a dime.

PUNK OF NICE- To put in in simple English- the WT writing committee is insane to be sure.
HOSER- Interesting analogy you have on the eagle illustration. Very good points ! Any kind of slavery the WT Society can put these people under- including financial- is open season for WT leaders. Really sad.
SD-7- Good point. If the WTS leaders really BELIEVE in a resurrection why do they worry about JW's dying ? I think it's because WTS leaders do nOT really believe in a resurrection - the resrrection is just a marketing ploy to keep JW's hooked into their false promises of an alleged " paradise"

It is with a touch of nostalgia that we recall one of Richard's previous engagements with us in 2007 when he presented:
"How Able Is Abe?" (4/26/2007) Former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi left some big shoes to fill. Current Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is trying to live up to the expectations, but it remains uncertain whether he can maintain the reform momentum needed to sustain economic growth. Renowned commentator Richard Katz will share his assessment and outlook regarding the Abe administration's prospects.
Nine years on, what has changed? Not to make light of the myriad developments over the past several years, but the outlook is as much puzzling as promising. Join us for an up-to-date view from one of our premier commentators on contemporary economic and political matters in Japan.

MENDOTA - The Mendota Area Chamber of Commerce has selected Roberta Friedlein to reign as 2019 Sweet Corn Festival Parade Grand Marshal. This is a fitting tribute to Friedlein, who retired from the Chamber office last fall after more than four decades helping to organize the Sweet Corn Festival Parade and the Crafters Market along with her many other day-to-day tasks at the Chamber.
The eldest of three children, Friedlein was born to Francis "Shorty" and Marie Pini. She grew up in Spring Valley, graduated from Hall High School and then attended IVCC, where she received her Associate's degree in 1972. While at IVCC, she met many new friends and was introduced to Bruce Friedlein, who was from Mendota. Bruce went on to the University of Illinois, and Roberta continued her education at Illinois State University seeking a degree in secondary education, while majoring in mathematics with a minor in biological science.
In 1974, while home on Christmas break, Roberta met with the superintendent of the Spring Valley Elementary Schools. She was offered a one-year substitute position teaching 6th and 7th grade math. This was very exciting news, as teaching jobs at the time were very rare. She went back to school after break and one of her professors was discussing the scarce job market for teachers. The professor asked for a show of hands of those who had teaching jobs and Roberta was the only one who raised her hand. A student sitting next to her was impressed and asked her, "Where at?"
That student was none other than ISU star basketball player, Doug Collins, who went on to play and coach in the NBA. "I told him not to worry, he would find a job too. We all know how that turned out!" Friedlein remarked.
Roberta and Bruce became engaged and enjoyed spending their time together going to concerts and U of I football games. They were married on June 27, 1975 and she officially became a "Mendotan." As she continued to search for a permanent job, Robert Dempster, president of the National Bank of Mendota and also treasurer of the Mendota Chamber of Commerce, approached Bruce and asked if Roberta would be interested in working for the Chamber as an office secretary/bookkeeper.
Roberta accepted the job and began working on July 10, 1976. At the time, the Chamber office was open from 8 a.m. to noon and was located above First State Bank. This was the beginning of a 43-year career with the Mendota Chamber of Commerce. New on the job that first July, she was immediately immersed in preparation for the Sweet Corn Festival, which she had only attended one time. The Chamber board president at the time was Michael O'Connor, editor of The Mendota Reporter. Although the festival had a smaller footprint in those days, it still received a very large crowd of visitors.
In her 43 years with the Mendota Area Chamber of Commerce, Friedlein worked with nine directors, 44 Chamber presidents, and well over 100 board members, ambassadors, and V.I.P. members. "Above all, it was a pleasure to meet and serve so many Chamber member business owners," she said. "There are so many wonderful people, representing retail, service and industry, many of whom have become my friends."
As her duties increased at the Chamber, so did the duties in her personal life. Roberta and Bruce started their family and had two children, Matthew born in 1982 and Heather in 1989. In the fall of 2001, Bruce was diagnosed with cancer. Roberta was granted a leave of absence from the Chamber board so she could stay home and take care of him. On June 2, 2002, Bruce passed away and Roberta returned to work shortly after.
Friedlein always enjoyed helping people, both local and far away, who had questions about Mendota. Whether they wanted information about products produced here, were looking for a business or industry or had questions about the community, she was willing to help. "It gave me a good feeling when I could send a customer on their way."
Looking back, Friedlein recalled some particularly memorable experiences while helping with the Annual Sweet Corn Festival. The first happened after only a few weeks on the job when she lost the parade chairman and had to step in and organize the event. Then there was the year she got to work on a Friday and found out that the Queen candidates' float used in the parade had been destroyed in a fire. Another time, she answered a phone call during the Festival and was told that the garbage cans on the midway were overflowing - and she was the only one in the office. "So, you put on some gloves, grab some garbage bags and go," she said matter-of-factly.
On the positive side, Friedlein enjoyed having the opportunity to interview and write the articles about the Sweet Corn Festival's many parade grand marshals, calling it "truly an honor for me." She also had a helping hand in creating the Festival's Craft Show and seeing it become a success. The parade was another part of her role, which took many hours of effort, but the reward was being able to watch it all unfold on Sunday knowing the hard work and long hours paid off. Mostly, she enjoyed working alongside so many Chamber members and community volunteers to make the Sweet Corn Festival a success through the years.
As for the free sweet corn served at the Fest on Sunday, Friedlein did not mind standing in the block long line with everyone else to get a plate of piping-hot corn. She saw the line as a chance to meet some interesting people while waiting. During those brief visits, she had the opportunity to reminisce about "our little town" with people who had been coming to the festival for 20 years, as well as those who said their grandparents brought them when they were little. "Those conversations make the line seem short," she said.
With the Sweet Corn Festival right around the corner, many people will be returning to Mendota again this year to enjoy time with family and to catch up with old friends. For Friedlein, like so many others, the festival has become a time of homecoming and community.
The Mendota Area Chamber of Commerce invites everyone to join Roberta Friedlein on Sunday, Aug. 11 as she is honored during the Sweet Corn Festival Grand Parade and is recognized for her dedication and service in helping to make the Festival grow and be successful over the past 43 years.

Recent reviews
Exceptional 9,4 From 33 reviews
I had to go to Johannesburg for school, so then I took a road trip to Cape Town. I chose African Violet because of the great reviews and because it's location was pretty central to everything I wanted to do in the area. The room was beautiful and Jenny the host was very friendly and accommodating. They provided a map and she pointed out places that were recommended. The view was incredible. I'll definitely see if they have a room available the next time I'm in town.
This would be my first review in Hotel.Com as usually I don't write any review of the hotel I stay. Love this hotel very much, the view is amazing, and everything you need is in the room. It's like staying in your own comfort home I would say. And Jennifer is very accommodating, friendly and helpful. She came to our room and explain in details about our room and where to visit and even told us the nearest supermarket to grab some stuff. Would definitely recommend this place to others, and if I come back to Cape Town, I will definitely stay here again, no doubt. Thank you Jennifer, hope to see u again in the future.

One of the largest barges ever handled at Lowestoft was safely moved out of the port early in July on her way to Maersk Oil's Culzean offshore energy project east of Aberdeen.
The large barge carried two bridge sections weighing almost 2,000 tonnes in total. At 122m long and 30.5m in beam, the barge was close to the maximum size Lowestoft can accommodate.
In the previous week, a power generation module for the same project had left the East Anglian port, which is part of Associated British Ports.
The power generation module and the bridge sections were constructed by Sembmarine SLP within the port. The company had been awarded the contract in 2015 to construct new components for the Culzean project.
Maersk Oil's Culzean gas condensate project is the largest gas field in UK waters since East Brae in 1990. Due to come online in 2020, the Culzean project is expected to meet around five per cent of the UK's national gas demand.

Red Bull target Ferrari in constructors' championship!
Aston Martin Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner has targeted Ferrari in the constructors' championship, as the team took its first victory of the season thanks to a sensational Max Verstappen drive.
Aston Martin Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner has targeted Ferrari in the constructors' championship, as the team took its first victory of the season thanks to a sensational Max Verstappen drive.
Verstappen started the race in second and dropped as far down as eighth after a poor start, but the Dutchman showed tremendous character and talent to fight back on his second stint, as he started picking off drivers one by one.
He eventually overtook Charles Leclerc for the lead and made it two wins in two years in Austria, Red Bull's home venue. Needless to say, Horner was thrilled with the result.
"What an unbelievable performance by Max today," the Brit said.
"To win the race here in Austria and to give Honda its first victory with a V6 hybrid is unbelievable. Winning our home race means an enormous amount to everyone in the Red Bull family."
The main discussion of the race was that race-winning overtake from Verstappen on Leclerc, as there was contact between the two drivers as the SF90 and the RB15 banged wheels, with Leclerc going off-track. After three hours of deliberating the subject, the stewards opted not to give Verstappen a penalty, meaning his win remained intact.
"It was a tense wait after the race but the stewards made the right decision. What happened today between Charles and Max is hard racing and I think that's what Formula One is all about – it's two young guys going for it. Formula One has come under a lot of criticism recently and I think today's race was an exciting one with overtaking, tyre degradation and drama – exactly what the doctor ordered!"
The other Red Bull of Pierre Gasly did not do as well, with the Frenchman finishing in seventh as he got lapped in the closing stages by his teammate. Horner did say he will want Gasly to perform better, as he has the ambition to challenge Ferrari in the championship.
"It was a tough race for Pierre but he managed to make progress and pass Raikkonen. When your teammate is performing at this level the benchmark is extremely high, but with time and as his confidence builds, Pierre will close the gap.
"Our target in the constructors' championship is Ferrari and we need both cars to score the maximum points possible."

Veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) with related learning dysfunctions may have a greater chance in overcoming memory, attention, and learning difficulties through the use of a portable brain-mapping device that maps brain activity's failures, suggests a multidisciplinary study conducted by UT Arlington researchers recently published in NeuroImage: Clinical.
According to Hanli Liu, Bioengineering Professor and one of the leading researchers, the use of this near-infrared spectroscopy in veterans with PTSD provides not only the information about the brain areas that "fail to memorize or recall learned knowledge," but also "shows how PTSD can affect the way we learn and our ability to recall information."
Equipped with the data, and "based on where the person is on the learning scale," researchers can "customize a treatment best suited for an individual," says Alexa Smith-Osborne, Associate Professor of social work at UT Arlington and another member of the team who conducted the study.
As reported by Medical Express, Liu-Osborne's team, which is associated with UT Austin psychology professor Francisco Gonzalez-Lima, Psychology Professor Carol North, UT Southwestern Medical Center and the Veterans Administration North Texas Health Care System, gathered a group of 16 veterans with diagnosed PTSD and revealing some cognitive damage and related deficient academic performance. They were asked to perform a number of activities while being monitored with the near-infrared spectroscopy.
The first results suggested that the veterans were less likely to recall those tasks than people in a control group with no PTSD diagnostic. In addition, the research team could access their levels of cognitive impairment.
Through the data, researchers were able to decide which area should be worked on in each one of the individuals. After working under new therapies, the group submitted to new tests with the near-infrared spectroscopy and, according to Smith-Osborne, "data have shown improvement in brain functions and responses." With the results of this study, Smith-Osborne has been working on recommendations for some veterans who desire to return to college.
Research on PTSD has accelerated of late and is of utmost concern, not only for researchers and veterans associations, but for the U.S. government as well. With the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, many military staff and their families have been severely affected by the disorder. At the same time, brain mapping seems to be a point of interest to researchers. As previously reported on BioNews Texas, Dr. John Hart from UT Dallas, has been working in this area, hoping it may save lives through the knowledge of how the brain works and how traumas can be overcome.

Art History Futures - 'She paints like Picasso'
June 6 2011
Meet Aelita Andre, who has her first solo show in New York. Aelita is four.
Says Angela Di Bello, director of the Agora Gallery:
'She's special in that she really knows what she's doing... if you look at her paintings you'll see that they're balanced... it's one painting after another, she's very very consistent in her work, so she's already developed a style that is hers. What's interesting about her work is that it's abstract impressionism but it's also surrealist in the way she includes objects in her works, and how she includes objects.'
Dubbed 'the youngest professional painter on the planet', Aelita's paintings are priced at up to $9,900 each. Of 24 paintings in the exhibition, 9 were sold by the end of opening night.
Only in New York?

Russia bans texts by Scientology founder
MOSCOW — Russian prosecutors said Wednesday that dozens of texts and recordings by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard had been ruled "extremist" and would be banned in Russia.
"Materials on Scientology by Ron Hubbard have been found extremist and will be banned from distribution in Russia," the Russian prosecutor general's office said in a statement.
The ban relates to 28 books and audio-video discs containing lectures by Hubbard, a US science fiction author who founded Scientology in 1954, the statement said.
The ruling was the latest blow to the Church of Scientology, an organisation that some countries treat as a legitimate faith but that others consider a cult designed to trick members out of large sums of money.
The ban on the Scientology materials was imposed by a court in the city of Surgut in eastern Siberia, which decided they should be added to a list of literature banned in Russia for extremist content, the statement said.
The illogic of belief
Is Brian Dunning being too soft on Bill Nye?
It appears that Bill Nye, the Science Guy, has thrown his weight in support of some product that supposedly "ionizes" water to endow it with amazing cleaning powers! In his latest Skepticblog entry, Brian Dunning quickly dispenses with the nonsense claim, but then he goes into a sort of defense of Bill Nye; a defense that made me raise an eyebrow (emphasis mine)!
After some consideration, I think the way to react to this is probably not to criticize Bill personally. There are realities that we all have to live with in this world, and one of those is the need to earn a living. There is, unfortunately, little or no money in science journalism (or in critical thinking outreach), and if you check Bill's IMDB page, you'll see that not even he has been nearly as busy in recent years as we'd all hope. My guess is that Activeion made him a much-needed offer, and I think we'd be jumping to conclusions to say that he accepted it lightly or without reflection.
There's an obvious benefit in being able to live to fight another day. The Activeion product is a bottle of water; it's not going to hurt anyone except in their wallet. If you have to choose a snake-oil product to promote, this is as harmless as it gets. There is probably a number that Activeion could offer me and I'd have done the same thing Bill did. I'd reason that if I took that job, it could fund Skeptoid and my other projects for some time. It could pay my kids' tuitions, and there's value in that — there are certainly snake oil salespeople out there whose money I'd be glad to leverage to my own advantage under the right circumstances. I'm not saying I would, I'm not saying I wouldn't; I'm saying I'd definitely weigh the pros and cons. Whether or not you agree with the choice Bill made, you at least owe him the benefit of the doubt and recognize that it's neither a simple nor an easy decision.
I certainly HOPE, wholeheartedly that Brian Dunning would not, in fact, do the same and support something he believes to be woo, solely out of an economic interest. Since when does the need to earn a living justify supporting woo? Are we really assuming that the only way Bill Nye could put food on his table is by lending his scientific credibility to woo? I don't accept that excuse, not for a single minute.
It seems Brian here is voicing the belief that "everyone has a price". That may well be true, but then on what basis do we, the skeptics, go after the woo meisters who are milking people out of millions, if we're saying that we'd probably do the same, for the right amount? Wouldn't that makes us hypocrites? Shouldn't we, at least naively, believe that we wouldn't support woo, regardless of how much money is thrown are way? What kind of supporters of Science and critical thinking would we be, if we thougth that we'd throw them out the window the moment we can make a buck or two? Something tells me that the other Skepticblog authors will differ with Brian on this point.
Brian says he's considered this issue, but I think he needs to go back to doing some more thinking. If this Activeion product really is nothing but water, and if Bill Nye is supporting a clearly unscientific product, then hell yes we should criticize Bill personally. We should criticize anyone who does that, regardless if it is Nye, Dunning or Randi himself! "I need money" is not a good excuse, nor does it get one off the hook, because guess what: Trudeau needs money; Browne needs money, the BCA needs money. All are in the game for the money, and if we allow the need for money to be an excuse then just what in the hell are we, The Skeptics, doing?
Measles claims almost 200 in Africa
In less than three months, a measles outbreak in Africa has killed 185 children . the UN is asking for help to increase vaccination efforts in the affected areas. As it stands, only about 80% of the population is vaccinated, quite below the desired level of 95%. These low levels of vaccination means that outbreaks, such as the one gripping the continent now, can be expected every 3-4 years. I send Jenny McCarthy a tweet pointing her attention to this issue and asking her to change her stance on vaccines. Do you think this story will change her mind at all? …..we can only hope!
2 sought for allegedly taking $62,000 in 'cursed money' in psychic healing scam
When she saw the "for rent" sign in the Far Northwest Side home, a Park Ridge woman realized the mother-daughter team of self-described psychic healers had not taken her money to cleanse it of evil spirits — they stole it.
Laura Santini, 61, and her daughter, Rosann, 35, were indicted this week in Cook County on felony theft charges for allegedly scamming the woman of $62,000. The two haven't been seen in more than a year, authorities said.
"They basically were able to convince the victim that some money she had gotten was cursed money and that somehow that curse had transferred to other money that she had," said Chicago police Detective Milorad Sofrenovic of the Grand Central area. "They told her that in order to be able to remove this curse, they needed to take this money physically to a shrine in Indiana and with prayers drive the curse from the money."
The alleged scam began in early 2007 when a flurry of fliers began peppering car windshields on the Far Northwest Side and nearby suburbs.
"One does not live without problems such as love, health, marriage and business," the flier read. "Why endure them when a gifted psychic can help you with whatever your problem may be?"
I try to be understanding…..
But then sometimes I fail miserably. Case in point, Iranian cleric displays this bit of……."logic":
Many women who dress inappropriately … cause youths to go astray, taint their chastity and incite extramarital sex in society, which increases earthquakes
Oh boy…must…not…get…angry!
*Facepalm* ….*deep sigh*….barely containing tears here. It saddens me deeply to see this level of ignorance being displayed by human beings. That an adult can say the above with a straight face completely befuddles me. I wonder what has to go wrong in someone's brain; what level of intellectual devastation is needed to produce this kind of moronic statement. Clothes lead to earthquakes!!! Wow, just WOW!
Church doctrine in a nut shell
Don't worry this won't take long. Apparently Mexico gets it, their education officials that is, and as always the church completely misses it, the point that is.
MEXICO CITY – Mexican educators and officials defended the country's public school sex education Friday from criticism by a Roman Catholic bishop who said such teachings make celibacy vows more difficult for priests to keep.
Education Secretary Alonso Lujambio told reporters that public-school sexual education texts "seek to make our boys and girls responsible, to take responsibility for their actions, and for that they need information."
Lujambio said the programs are careful to avoid "hurting any social sensitivities."
On Thursday, Bishop Felipe Arizmendi said that "when there is generalized sexual licentiousness, it is more common to have pederasty."
"In the midst of the invasion of so much eroticism, it is not easy to remain faithful in celibacy, or in respecting children," Arizmendi, the bishop of the San Cristobal de las Casas diocese in Chiapas state, said at a meeting of Mexican bishops.
Of course! Because teaching children to use protection and safe sex when engaging in consensual sex, obviously sends the message to grown up men that raping children, non-consensually, is acceptable. That makes perfect sense: what better to reduce the priestly carnal desires for young flesh than keeping said kids ignorant about safe sex? Elementary!
Judge Declares National Day of Prayer Unconstitutional
A year-old, incorrect story about Barack Obama "canceling" the National Day of Prayer made the rounds today. Meanwhile, in reality, Obama's Justice Department was defending the Day of Prayer to a U.S. District Court that just ruled it unconstitutional.
U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb declared section 119 of US Code 36—establishing an annual National Day of Prayer—to be unconstitutional. Her decision is available here. We certainly agree with everything she writes, and we're sure there will be no major controversy over any of this.
The Freedom from Religion foundation brought the suit, claiming that the statute calling on the president to proclaim a National Day of Prayer each year is a violation of the Establishment Clause. Crabb found that the plaintiffs had the standing to challenge section 119 itself, but not presidential proclamations generally.
In Crabb's reading of the case law, the government can encourage prayer when it has "a significant secular purpose," but the National Day of Prayer has no point beyond encouraging everyone to pray.
Unfortunately, § 119 cannot meet that test. It goes beyond mere "acknowledgment" of religion because its sole purpose is to encourage all citizens to engage in prayer, an inherently religious exercise that serves no secular function in this context. In this instance, the government has taken sides on a matter that must be left to individual conscience. "When the government associates one set of religious beliefs with the state and identifies nonadherents as outsiders, it encroaches upon the individual's decision about whether and how to worship." McCreary County, 545 U.S. at 883 (O'Connor, J., concurring). Accordingly, I conclude that § 119 violates the establishment clause.
PZ Myers is a witless wanker who peddles pablum
No, not really, but I got your attention, yes? On the other hand, these are precisely the words used by PZ in a recent post, aimed at criticizing Michael De Dora's observations about a recent debate in Knoxville, TN on the wording of a biology textbook.
Let me start with a full disclosure: Michael is a friend, and of course one of the contributors to this blog. But this post has little to do with that, it deals with the substance and the tone of PZ's remarks, both of which are highly relevant to the quality of discourse within the atheist community (currently, pretty low), something I deeply care about.
First the form. PZ's post reads like it was written by an intemperate teenager in the midst of a hormonal rage. Among other things, he calls De Dora "witless," "wanker," "wishy-washy," and "sloppy-thinking"; he accuses Michael of engaging in "cowardly intellectual dishonesty" and of using a "quisling" approach. So that we are crystal clear on just how low these ad hominem (a logical fallacy!) attacks go, let me refresh your memory about the dictionary definitions of some of these terms:
Quisling = a traitor who collaborates with an enemy force occupying their country;
Wanker = a person who masturbates (used as a term of abuse);
Wishy-washy = feeble or insipid in quality or character, lacking strength or boldness;
Witless = foolish, stupid, to such an extent that one cannot think clearly or rationally.
If PZ thinks that this sort of language belongs within any thoughtful writing about rational discourse, he really needs to look up the dictionary definitions of rational, thoughtful and discourse. Then again, it is precisely this sort of theatrics that apparently makes him so popular, as nothing gets people's attention on the internet so much as shouting as LOUDLY as possible, regardless of the vacuity of what one is actually saying.
And speaking of content, what was so witless, wanky, wishy-washy, and witless about De Dora's post? Oh, he dared question (very politely, and based on argument) one of the dogmas of the new atheism: that religious people (that's about 90% of humanity, folks) ought (and I use the term in the moral sense) to be frontally assaulted and ridiculed at all costs, because after all, this is a war, and the goal is to vanquish the enemy, reason and principles be damned. Michael had simply noted that the recent controversy in Tennessee was a bit less clear cut than usual: while of course creationism doesn't have a leg to stand on, and of course biology textbooks should teach evolution without apologies, De Dora also noted that using the word "myth" when the book refers to the biblical story of creation was an uncalled for breach of the principle of separation of Church and State (if invoked in the context of a biology class in a public school). Therefore, on that narrow technical ground, and on that ground only, the creationist who complained had, in fact, a point.
Contrary to PZ's invective, acknowledging this point is in no way a cowardly act of intellectual dishonesty. On the contrary, it is a paragon of intellectual honesty because one is able to maintain the nuance that is necessary in distinguishing positive science education from gratuitous religion bashing. (And please, do note that I've got plenty of credentials in the department of religion bashing, but I try to do it in what I consider the appropriate manner and context.)
On the fallability of skepticism
No one is infallible. Not I, not Plaitt, not Randi, no one! We all make mistakes sooner or later. I am sure that in my years of blogging I have made many errors, committed logical fallacies, reported or commented on something too soon, based on insufficient evidence etc. That's because we are human; we all come with baggage, biases, emotions that, try as we might, we cannot completely isolate or stop from affecting our thinking.
Today was a great day for skepticism. Simon Singh emerges victorious from his libel suit against the BCA. I am very happy, but that event brought something into my mind. For the past few days I have been engaged in the arrest-the-pope saga, specifically in the "should organized skepticism get involved" side of it. Many prominent names in skepticism have voiced their opinions, and they range from "not our job" to "could be our job depending on the defence the Church uses" approaches. Since the beginning, I had a strong feeling that yes skepticism should get involved, but that was a gut feeling, I coud not quite articulate properly why. Could be due to an inherent bias, the fact that I strongly believe that skepticism, properly applied to the god hypothesis, should lead to atheism. Maybe that is why I feel that the Church, the "enemy" must be held accountable. Perhaps!
But then, the Singh news brought it all into perspective. Because, you see, the Libel Law Reform case, that the whole of organized skepticism got behind, is not a purely skeptical issue either. The BCA made no claims that fall within the skeptic's sphere when they sued Simon Singh. They said he had defamed them and proceeded to sue him. THAT is not a skeptical issue, anymore than the arrest -the-pope issue is. Yet, we, the skeptics, got behind Simon and endorsed and loudly advocated for reform in the British Libel Laws. AS WE SHOULD!
However, how is the libel law case different from the pope/church case? They are both legal issues, neither of them falls within the skeptical sphere of expertise; yet we support one but remain silent on the other? Why? Because, someone may say, the libel laws are being used, or can be used, to silence skeptics. Hmmm, interesting, but if the church is left to its method, doesn't that mean that it can continue practices that can lead to a child of skeptical parents being molested? Would it then become something we can get behind? I find that excuse unsatisfactory. Clearly, the skeptical world has, and still can, get behind causes that do not fall within its area of expertise; the Simon Singh case proves that. Then the question becomes: how do we choose which causes we'll get involved in? That's a more interesting question, but we cannot have our cake and eat it too. Either we stay "pure" and do not get involved in anything that cannot be examined skeptically, or we do; but we cannot, at the same time, claim to only want to get involved in "skeptical issues" and, as a movement, support Simon Singh's battle, a purely legal issue! If I have to choose, I choose to support Simon, but that implies that we should be open to support other issues as well, if logic so demands. If we do not, when we do not, we only prove that skepticism isn't immune from fallibility either.

Archery has become a precision sport, however, it has historically been used in hunting and combat. Although archery probably dates back to the Stone Age – around 20,000BC – the earliest people known to have regularly used bows and arrows were the Ancient Egyptians, who adopted archery around 3,000BC for hunting and warfare. In China, the earliest evidence of this sport dates to the Shang Dynasty – 1766-1027BC. Archery is featured in folklore around the world, Robin Hood being probably the most famous.
We use entry level compound bows for our target activities. The bows are designed to reduce the force that an archer must hold, yet increase the overall energy stored by the bow. The targets are marked with evenly spaced concentric rings. A direct hit, in the center, on the bulls eye is what we are aiming for!! The distance of the targets vary, depending on the skill of the archer. We offer archery at our own venue, Kunguru Lodge in Elgin Valley. We often combine it with clay pigeon shooting. It is offered at other venues dependent on the space available in the grounds, however the area is cordoned off. Safety is a priority, with a safe distance set behind the target for those "practice" shots.

Iowa gas prices still low as school begins
(Image courtesy of the Iowa Department of Education)
DES MOINES, Iowa - Drive-time traffic is about to get more congested as kids go back to school.
Mark Peterson with AAA Iowa says it's important to watch for school zones and buses when classes start back up, as well as planning for a longer trip to work. "It's going to take you a little bit longer, there's more vehicle traffic because you have a lot of parents dropping them off," said Peterson. "So they're driving into congestion at some of the schools. And with that, it's going take a little more. You've got to build a little time in there."
A law was signed in 2015 calling for Iowa schools to start no earlier than August 23rd. The date was selected in part because it's the last day the Iowa State Fair can end.
The start of classes coincides with a build-up of traffic on roadways in late August moving toward the busy Labor Day weekend. "You're talking about the tail end of the 100 busiest and deadliest days of summer as we approach the holiday weekend," Peterson said.
The Iowa State Patrol says August to Labor Day is such a dangerous time because of an increased amount of drivers on the road, including back to school traffic.
Meanwhile, gas prices are low right now, but Peterson says tension in the middle east could lead to a spike upward. "That's an intangible issue, that is something that could have effects on it," Peterson said. "It does not appear to yet, but it is something we have to keep our eye on."
He also thinks oil reserves could impact prices at the pump. "Right now the reserves are in pretty good shape, so we have been seeing the prices going down, but now they're starting to pick up a little bit."
Regular gas in Iowa is 2.46 a gallon, about 15-cents below the national average. The price at the pump is down roughly 10-cents from the same time last year in in the state.
AAA figures show the lowest price is 2.25 in southeast Iowa's Clarke County. Gas Buddy reports individual retailers in Ankeny are posting prices as low as 2.12.
Prices will drop further next month with the changeover from summer-blend to the cheaper-to-produce winter-blend gasoline.

As someone who prefers soy milk to cream and tofu instead of meat, I always enjoy trying "healthy" versions of typically indulgent foods. Cauliflower rice, sweet potato gnocchi, and black bean brownies are some of my favorite dishes to make, but I never considered how these "healthier" alterations affect the original meal.
Recent backlash surrounding the opening of wellness blogger Arielle Haspel's "clean" Chinese Restaurant in New York City made me reconsider the social implications of altering traditional foods to make them "healthier."
Stereotypes and Assumptions
Haspel and her Husband, Lee, opened Lucky Lee's American-Chinese restaurant on April 9, 2019. The restaurant marketed itself on its website and Instagram as "Feel-Great Food" inspired by Chinese-American cuisine, but it was immediately criticized by the Chinese-American community for its stereotypical perception of their culture.
The Connotation of the Word "Clean"
The idea that some food is "dirty" and others "clean" has strong cultural connotations. Not only does it belittle the traditional cooking practices of foreign cultures or ethnically inspired restaurants, but it also mimics American stereotypes about immigrants. According to a study from the American Psychological Association, "dirty" is one of the top 47 traits considered in American stereotypes of other cultures. By asserting that Lucky Lee's dishes were a "clean" alternative "dirty" Chinese food, Haspel attached the cultural context of these words to her actions and her business.
Missing Education and Knowledge
As a Caucasian chef without first-hand knowledge of Chinese culture or food heritage, it would be nearly impossible to accurately represent Chinese-American cuisine without extensive research and collaboration with industry experts. Instead, Lucky Lee's relied on cultural stereotypes and generalizations about Chinese-American food, such as:
- Generalizations about all Chinese food being "oily" and "salty;"
- Design elements based on chopsticks, fortune cookies and bamboo;
- Equating the word "lucky" with Chinese culture.
The Thin Line Between Admiration and Appropriation
By definition, appropriation is to take something without permission and act as though it is your own. For food, appropriation occurs when dishes are separated from their original cultural context or used to misrepresent their traditional culture.
Loving a certain dish and making it for yourself is fundamentally different from taking a traditional cuisine and claiming it as your own. Making changes is completely acceptable, but it is important for those changes to complement the food's original culture, not diminish its value.
Removing an ingredient or adding substitutions to a dish to account for allergies or personal preference is fine because those changes are not tied to the dish's food culture. Appropriation becomes an issue when individuals claim that those changes have elevated the dish out of its traditional context. This assertion generates negative assumptions about the dish and its culture.
Food is Often More Than Just Food
It is easy to think of food as just a mixture of nutrients, calories and flavors, but food plays a much larger role in everyday life. It is a cornerstone of culture and identity. Food traditions can bring people closer to the past and connect them across borders, but we must ensure that our food practices highlight similarities instead of overshadowing cultural context. Arielle Haspel learned this lesson the hard way, but we can learn from her mistakes.
How can we be more concious of food's cultural context? Leave your thoughts in a comment.

The New York Times recently reported on the ever increasing phenomenon of having a proposal documented in the same way as a wedding. Photographers are now being hired by those intent on getting down on bended knee to propose to their partner.
The role of the proposal photographer can be an altogether different challenge to that of the wedding photographer, in that a crucial part includes not being seen. However, being so discreet as to be invisible requires a delicacy that will come natural to a professional wedding photographer in Liverpool, or beyond, as it relies on the skills that they have developed and honed over many years.
The process does not involve shifting the individuals into position for that perfect shot, but rather a high level of flexibility is required, ensuring that the natural elements are utilised, whatever they may be.
If a wedding is traditionally the bride's domain then the proposal tends to focus primarily on the groom, though obviously there are many exceptions to this, and those that wish their proposal to be recorded tend to have something special in mind. It is for this reason that proposal photography offers up many different challenges, with a large number of uncontrollable variables at play to traditional wedding photography.
For couples that want their special moments to be documented though, it can serve as a touching preamble for loved ones who want to share the moments that inevitably lead to the happy day that a successful proposal triggers.
