The version 1.0 release can be downloaded right now, or you can choose for the Pro version which gives you a number of extra features. It's available for Windows XP, Vista, and 7, with versions for Mac OS X and Linux in the pipeline. The best way to give you an idea of how BumpTop works is to watch this little vide, that more or less gives you all you need to know.
After using BumpTop for a while, a few things become obvious. Let's get the good out of the way first: it's fun. Throwing your files around, stashing them into piles, making them bigger, bumping them into one another, pinning them to the walls - it's all very entertaining. Performance is a bit slow at the moment (AMD Phenom 4x2.2Ghz/4GB of RAM/Radeon HD 3200), but I'll forgive them that since it's just their first official release.
Still, despite the fun and all, it's very hard for me to actually find it useful, and that mostly stems from the fact that it seems as if BumpTop is a bit ahead of the times. It sorely needs a 3D display, but most of all: it needs a 3D input device. You see, all the screens and input devices we use today are 2D, and slapping a 3D interface on top of that is simply a bit cumbersome; it creates perspective issues that mess with your brain. It's like the Leopard dock, but much more obtrusive. Things like windows are also 2D objects, which simply do not fit very well in a 3D environment.
Then there's the issue of whether or not adding a 3rd dimension to computing actually makes computers easier to use. In our very first Common Usability Terms article, on spatial memory, I already touched on 3D interfaces. A study performed by Cockburn & McKenzie (2002) found that there was no benefit to adding a 3rd dimension to user interfaces - in fact, it only made subject's performance deteriorate. They tested both real-world and virtual interfaces, both in 3D as well as "2.5D". Their conclusion:
Getting back to our original question, it's hard to escape the feeling that BumpTop is a gimmick. It suffers from a lack of 3D input and display devices, and the fact that there are indications that adding a 3rd dimension to computer interfaces only makes them harder to use - not easier. It increases complexity instead of reducing it.
Still, that doesn't mean BumpTop is a bad product. It works very well, looks good, and it's a lot of fun. At least they're trying something new, which cannot be said of the big players in the desktop market.

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|A Revenger's Tragedy
After the tragedy with Roman at the church on his wedding day, Niko will wake up in the Bohan safe house. Back in the clothes he got off of the boat with, Niko will be out for revenge on this, the final mission in the game (if you chose the "money" direction as opposed to the "revenge" direction). Jacob will text Niko almost immediately to let him know that he'll be in touch as soon as he's located Dimitri's whereabouts, and implores you to go stock up on weapons in the meantime. This is good advice. The closest gun merchant to the Bohan safe house is southward in Broker, so put that as a waypoint and drive down there. We recommend buying everything and anything you want, including lots of explosives and plenty of ammunition for your assault rifle and other automatic weaponry.
Eventually, though, Little Jacob will call Niko to inform him that he's waiting for him in a car on Asahara Road in Alderney, and regardless of where you are at the current time, you should head there once you're prepared to begin this final mission. When you arrive, Little Jacob will tell Niko the rest of the plan, how Pegorino and Dimitri are in cahoots with one another, and that to find him, we need to tail one of Pegorino's guys back to his place. And just like that, you're on your way.
The car you have to follow here already knows you're tailing it, so don't expect a lackadaisical pursuit here. It's not one of the chases where you have to stay close to the car you're trailing, but far enough where they don't see you. No no... this is a real chase, so keep an eye on the red dot on your HUD, which represents the car you're tailing. And speaking of tailing, high-tail it yourself! This chase is an intense one, and you will find yourself under fire often. You should be able to handle this chase on your own without our help, but we will tell you this—when the car you're chasing goes against oncoming traffic, don't follow immediately, but do follow eventually (such as the second time you're given a chance to head into oncoming traffic). That's because an exit will be taken by that car, also against traffic, that is easy to miss and can ruin the chase, forcing you to start over.
The ultimate location of this chase is at the far, far northern end of Alderney, where an abandoned casino is located. This is Dimitri's stronghold, and he's got goons all over the place waiting for a shot at you. While Little Jacob accompanied you this far, Niko eventually encourages to get out of here and to plan an exit strategy for when this is all said and done, since the carnage will be, to say the least, massive. He eventually agrees, leaving Niko on his own. Now, please keep in mind that our walkthrough here will rest upon the assumption that you took our advice earlier and stocked up on weapons, including grenades, RPGs and the like. Okay, ready? Let's go!

I just started experimenting with a half deck in elo. I was assuming it should be about 50% 2/2 (2 cards from each clan I mean). In 48 fights I've only gotten 2/2 11 times, or about 23%. I know 48 isn't a large sample but it's consistently hovering around 21%. Is there some card selection process I don't know about, or am I just having bad beginner's luck?
subclavianHoA Imperator Saturday 13/10/2012, 03:20
Or, you could conduct your own experiments using 51.4% as the null hypothesis and see if your p-value is less than the 0.05 significance level

Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc, The (UK - BD)
Reviewer Marcus Doidge checks out this Luc Besson epic on Blu-ray disc
Joan was a French girl who loved talking to god from an early age. She liked to confess to a priest everyday and she thought the world was wonderful because of it. Then the English invaded her village and she witnessed them kill her sister.
Years later, the would-be King of France (if not for the English), Charles VII (John Malkovich) receives word from an older Joan (Milla Jovovich) requesting she be given an army to lead against the British, so she can do God's work and make sure Charles is crowned King of France as he ought to be. Despite having no experience of war and coming off as a bit of a mental, Joan soon proves that may very well have God on her side and that soon brings about problems of its own.
I'd never seen this Luc Besson historical epic and to be honest, the majority of the reviews I'd read or heard from friends were lukewarm at best. Going in, I was initially struck by how Braveheart this all was, which considering the release being just four years after Mel's epic genre re-igniter was understandable. Studios do so love taking chances trying to recapture another popular movie's appeal after all. However, what Braveheart has over The Messenger (as well as many of its other wannabes) is a steady hand. The Messenger is just a little too chaotic in its opening hour or so to allow its audience to get comfortable.
For starters, this is probably the worst example of strange casting in the history of strange casting for the 'epic' movie genre. We're all used to having Scottish playing Irish, English playing French, or American playing Greek, but it's a really tough pill to swallow here. As a bit of a recap, Joan is French, but speaks in a sort of American accent, Charles VII is the king of France, but is John Malkovich being John Malkovich. All of the French priests have English accents, as do the French soldiers (other than a very pirate-y looking Vincent Cassel). This wouldn't be so bad if all of these characters weren't fighting against the English, who are all, well… English. It's all easy enough to follow for the most part, but doesn't really work when you're meant to be siding with the glory of France and the French people who aren't even close to feeling French.
On top of that, there's a lot of fluff around the main point of the story. When your focus is on Joan proving her validity as a messenger for God, it's hard to see the point in some of the smaller scenes between many of the bit players and their discussions on things that don't even involve Joan. The movie comes in at a whopping one hundred and fifty eight minutes and there're at least twenty minutes that could have been lost without affecting the story at all.
Looking into a bit of films history, it seems much of the controversy was over Milla's central performance as Joan, as well as how historically accurate the story was. In regards to the historical accuracy, I don't let these things concern me as a movie watcher generally, so I can let that one slide but Milla's performance is a tough one to call. I can't work out if it's inappropriately amusing or borderline genius. I know for sure that eighty percent of the performance feels like acting—unnatural, awkward and rehearsed. However, that other twenty percent is almost mesmerising. Joan is essentially a total crank who believes totally that God has called upon her to help and she will win because he has told her so. Because of that, Joan is madly confident, always seeing signs of God's instruction around her and coming off as pretty close to deranged. Milla somehow makes this endearing, even when she is at her most wacky. She makes Joan feel like a broken, fragile girl who genuinely needs all of this to happen to make her whole. Someone who must have the war in God's name but struggles with the bloodshed around her and the internal conflict that this may all be revenge for what happened to her sister. It's a tough one to call but I think this may be a great performance despite there being a lot you have to let go in order to really find it.
All of this really comes into focus in the film's final act. After Joan has been cast aside by her King and is in the hands of the English. They want to execute her, but have to prove she is not a messenger from God. Joan remains strong despite their persistence and to counter that, in the privacy of her cell, Joan is plagued by her conscience (Dustin Hoffman) questioning all of her actions up to this point. Besson co wrote this with Andrew Birkin and my hat goes off to them for including this element to the movie. To actually question the motivation of the much praised Joan of Arc and bring it down to the human levels of suggesting the possibility that she'd deluded herself that God had asked her to do all of this is a nice slant on what could have been quite a generic life story celebrating only the glory days of this historical figure.
Initially I was incredibly impressed by the picture quality here. The opening scene with young Joan talking to a priest in a confession booth really shows off the beauty of high def movies. Joan's eyes framed within the diamond partition of the booth look amazing. Her skin tone was represented perfectly, showing every pore and freckle and her eye looked fantastic. The following scenes in wide open French fields, chocked full of bright flowers that popped to life on screen were really impressive, but sadly as the film moves on all of this disappeared and generally nothing really registers.
It could be that I've grown used to what HD can do, or I have now seen similar locations in other films look better, but other than the occasional well-lit shot everything feels a little bland here. Detail flitters between great (take a look at the chain-mail armour) to dull (the castle locations) and the battles all feel very grey in tone and because of the thick layers of mist in some shots the grain really makes itself known.
As I said, I'd never seen the movie before to compare how it may have looked in the past, but this Blu-ray release does a fairly standard job on a quite typical looking nineties epic.
There was only one thing in the entire mix that did anything to call attention to itself in my opinion and that was Dustin Hoffman's first appearance. His voice coming through all the speakers and bass was incredibly effective and really set the tone of this character. Outside of that, this was all very normal. The battles had hardly any dynamics, there seemed to be little to no atmospheric noises in the, what should be, echo-y castles or buildings full of people. The dialogue was all strong and the score were clear and well presented but only in a way you'd expect rather than in a way you'd notice. There's nothing wrong with the mix at all, it's just a little uneventful really.
A Men in Black trailer and Blu-ray show-reel trailer. Exactly what you'd expect from a movie drenched in history and epic filmmaking, right? I sense there may be a better edition for The Messenger, but it certainly ain't here.
The Messenger has a good amount of problems that not everyone would have the patience with, but I have to say that despite said problems, I came away from this Joan of Arc story really quite liking it.
It's full of everything you'd want out of an epic movie (before they all went too CGI). It's got a great mix of solid performances and a central character that locks you into the events, even if it's not always in the good way and on a personal note I can now say I know a bit more about Joan of Arc beyond what I learnt in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

This WAS oddly casted. Did Luc Besson just say, f*ck accuracy, just act. Still though, great movie. I wish that Jovovich would do some more serious stuff rather than the plotless action flicks she's known for--she's a better actress than she is given credit for, I think.

Seen this film many times. Great epic movie. I agree there are flaws but there are some great cinematic scenes. Easily the best Joan of Arc movie. Although I have not seen that many.

Just a bit role....but I have to say Dustin Hoffman played a great role as Jean conscience/angel. Very subtle and creepy. Loved the film though....despite the quirks

THE WAY HUGH HERR sees it, he's in the transportation business. Personal transportation.
Herr, 47, weaves titanium, silicon, carbon fiber and nuts and bolts into prosthetic devices for amputees. "Our devices have to work like a car, because of the same profound reliance that people have for locomotion,'' said Herr, director of the Biomechatronics Group at the MIT Media Lab and founder of iWalk, a bionics company based in Bedford.
The work is personal, too. Herr lost both of his lower legs 30 years ago in a hiking accident on Mount Washington. Last year, he introduced BiOM, the world's first bionic ankle system, designed to work for millions and millions of steps while remaining reliable and comfortable. A wearable robotic system, the prosthetic can't start to "rattle or hum'' after long, daily use, Herr said. Veterans of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were the first to be fitted. They were able to walk out the door, leaving canes and crutches behind.
Stealing ideas from nature, Herr used robotics and software to imitate the actions of leg muscles and tendons. "Even if the limb is bionic, the goal is to have it move like skin and muscle,'' he said. And one day, will we go beyond the current capabilities of the human body, like the Six-Million-Dollar Man?
According to Herr: "Absolutely.''

Next Meetup
What we're about
Welcome to the Salem Hiking Meetup group! We are primarily a day-hiking group, but you may also find us biking, rowing, snowshoeing, or backpacking. Here is some information about our group and the ground rules we ask members to follow. We require you to read and agree to these rules so you know what you are signing up for and so we know that you understand your responsibilities to the group. This may look like nothing more than "fine print," but the information is important and essential to a smoothly functioning group. Please take the time to read it carefully, and contact the leadership team if you have any questions.
1. We are friendly and respectful to each other. Our backgrounds are diverse, but we are united in our love for the outdoors. If you cannot come to an event with patience, humor, tolerance and friendliness, please reconsider whether this group is a good fit for you.
2. Our events range from easy to very difficult. We will provide a brief description of an event, but it is your responsibility to independently research the event and determine whether it is appropriate for you. You know your limitations; the group leaders do not. It is your responsibility to show up properly equipped with appropriate clothing, footwear, food and water. The failure to do so jeopardizes your safety and unfairly burdens the group. While we anticipate and welcome a wide range of experience and capabilities, we are not a "teach you how to hike" group. The event host has the authority and discretion to turn away anyone who shows up for an event not properly clothed or equipped, or if the host decides the event is simply too physically demanding for a member. Suggestions about what to bring on an event can be found in the "Pages" section of this web site.
3. This group's events are not lead by paid or trained guides. We are fellow explorers. By joining this group you are voluntarily participating in outdoor wilderness activities with a wide range of inherent danger. By joining this group you accept full responsibility for your own health and safety and the health and safety of your guests. By joining this group you agree that in no event and under no circumstances shall the group's organizers, hosts, event leaders or drivers be liable for any injury or damage of any nature to yourself or your property resulting from your participation in the group or resulting from the negligence of any other member of the group. You accept all responsibility for, and agree to hold the hosts and organizors harmless from, any injury, harm or damage resulting from anything going wrong on an event.
4. We are a hiking group. If your goal is trail sprinting, you are a loner, or you are not comfortable hiking with a social group, please consider joining a different group. Although everyone hikes at their own pace, our practice is to periodically stop so that all can catch up. We pride ourselves on supporting each other.
5. We are not a "singles" group geared towards the dating scene. Please leave behind personal drama and visions of hooking up, and view the group as a haven from whatever clutter filled your head before your boots hit the trail.
6. We limit the number of event attendees for hiking to 12 people for several reasons. Wilderness areas have legal limit of 12 to a group, a larger group is too unwieldy for your host to safely manage, we at all times strive to minimize our impact on the environment, and we respect the solitude people seek on the trail. Do not hesitate to join an event's waitlist, but please respect the attendee limit. For more on that, see the following paragraph.
7. Do not RSVP as a "yes" unless you know you will attend the event, and do not RSVP simply in order to bookmark a spot. IF YOU BECOME UNABLE TO ATTEND, PROMPTLY CHANGE YOUR RSVP TO A "NO." This allows those on the waitlist to attend and also allows the host to properly plan the event. Members who are multiple no-shows or who routinely cancel after signing up for events may be suspended or terminated from membership.
8. As much as we love them, we do not allow dogs on our hikes unless the description specifically states the hike is dog-friendly. Among other reasons, a dog impacts the environment as much as a human. We understand that your dog is trail savvy, nicer and better behaved than other dogs, but please leave Fido at home. We are not an ADA covered group, and service or companion dogs are not allowed on our events unless the event is designated as a "dog-friendly."
9. This is generally an adult group. By joining this group you are confirming that you are at least 18 years old. Also - unless an event is labeled as family-friendly, please do not bring children under the age of 14.
10. A hike labeled as family-friendly means it is a hike that will be geared to a more leisurely pace and relatively easy and/or short, with the expectation that youngsters will slow things down. It does not mean the trail is child-proof. Family-friendly hikes may well involve steep drop-offs, access to swift water and slippery rocks. If your youngsters are not of the age and experience to be exposed to those risks, and if you cannot supervise their safety, do not bring them. It is solely your responsibility as the participating adult to independently research a hike to ensure it is suitable for your family and to make sure your family has appropriate clothing, footwear, food and water for the hike. We want to expose the next generation to all the benefits of experiencing the outdoors, but the safety of your family must be your priority.
11. We strongly encourage and expect carpooling. An event description will include a carpool meeting spot. There is usually no need to try to arrange carpool details ahead of time – our practice is to show up and pile into cars. Carpoolers are expected to contribute for gas and vehicle wear and tear. The rule of thumb to follow is $5 from each rider for every hour of driving.
12. Finally - to sign up for membership we require a profile picture that is an actual picture of the actual you, sufficient to allow an event host to put a face with a name. Do we care about your gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or anything else about the way you look, think, act, sing or believe? Nope; we never have and never will. To the contrary, the diversity of our membership and the unity of our love for the outdoors is this group's greatest asset, though really bad trail singing might eventually draw a mild rebuke. So why do we insist on a profile photo? As much as we enjoy photos of flowers or your pet rabbit, your event host needs to be able to match names and faces. Requiring a profile picture also helps us to ensure that our members are real people and not scammers, marketers, trollers or stalkers. It's one of those pesky details that helps keep us all above board and safe and running smoothly.
Thanks for working through the guidelines! If you have not done so, please go back to your profile questions and confirm that you agree to follow the group guidelines.

Have that told you it's pulled yet? They might be willing to work with you so that you can keep it.
-My undergraduate major was "Political Science-Legal Studies" from a relatively unknown public school.-My GPA there was a 2.74 (LSAT 167).-I defualted to law school.-I went to a T3 on a full scholarship. -I needed a 2.0 to keep it and got a 1.98. -I've got about 20K in debt.-I don't have a backup plan.-I don't have a plan even if I graduate from law school.-I'd be damn near last in my class.
lets see below average undergrad gpa lsat way way way above average.that probably means your smart and don't work.this suggests to me the reason your not doing well in law school as well. a 167 at a t3 is unheard of. your probably smarter than everyone there. work harder.if you drop out and find out your working fcor 35-30k a year with 30k+ in loans to pay off-your going to find out what hard work means.

Kentucky coach John Calipari promises that Alex Poythress will improve.
In fact, he's taking a personal interest to ensure the freshman's growth.
One of the Wildcats' four highly touted rookies, Poythress is struggling. Despite being Kentucky's second-leading scorer and rebounder, inconsistency has raised concerns about his commitment.
Poythress didn't start in Saturday's 80-77 loss to rival Louisville and had just seven points and five rebounds in a season-low 15 minutes. Calipari hinted Monday that Poythress might not play in Wednesday's non-conference home game against Eastern Michigan unless he improves.
The coach is trying to avoid that scenario through one-on-one sessions with Poythress, aiming to correct flaws in his game and motivate the soft-spoken forward. Calipari's personal instruction has already helped guard Ryan Harrow rejoin the starting lineup for Kentucky (8-4).

Hybrid: Skyline Awake-- the sound's familiar...
Few bands easily walk the line between hardcore and straight-ahead pop/rock.
Hardcore, for those of you of the older persuasion without kids, is probably the present day music least palatable to stereotypical versions of yourself. Sure, there's melody in there– buried beneath grinding guitar– but to the untrained ear (and sometimes, I must admit, to me) the genre seems to generally consist of staccato screaming on and off the beat.
Combining this genre, generally not known for its reliance on subtle songwriting, with melody of the sort found in pop/rock, is no easy task, but it has been done, with sonically pleasing results… and You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead (yes folks, that is a band name), for one, did a nice job of it on their latest album, Source Tags & Codes, and there have been a number of recent examples of the mix that show that the hybrid genre is beginning to bear fruit.
Originally hailing from the hardcore and (mostly indie) rock Mecca that is Harrisonburg, the hardcore/(indie) rock group Skyline Awake, formed in 1999 by bassist Brad Perry and guitarist Brendan Murphy, has the right mix down cold.
Two years of playing shows with groups such as the rocky Q and Not U, the overly enthusiastic Engine Down, the wonderfully sing-songy Butchies, and the melodious noise that is The Matlock Four concluded with a series of line-up changes that racked the group, resulting in a new drummer, Jonny Kuthy, and a new guitarist, Jason Butler.
But the songwriting team of Perry and Murphy endured, ensuring that the group's particular mix of pop/rock/and hardcore would live on.
On the group's soon-to-be-released EP, Fight Your Route Of Identity (Rosewater Records) Skyline Awake show off a level of cohesiveness that is only found in groups of great musicians who know each other's styles through and through. Kuthy's drums are so tightly locked in with Perry's bass that frequently it's impossible to tell the two apart.
The twin guitar barrage laid down by Butler and Murphy is extremely powerful, though the two don't deviate enough from what the other is playing quite enough for my tastes. Singer/guitarist Murphy possesses a fine example of the half yelling/half singing voice of the type that Ian MacKaye of Fugazi has used for his long career, as well as Jason Reece of the aforementioned, and you will know us…
The last comparison is probably one the group has heard, or will hear a lot of in the future. Similar styles of music, and at least more than slightly similar sounding singers, might make AYWKUBTTOD a thorn in the side of Skyline Awake in days to come.
The remedy? I'd suggest an old-fashioned spitting contest between the acronym from hell and the local boys. Winner take all.

New Jersey's hopes of implementing sports betting at racetracks and in Atlantic City's casinos were dealt a major blow Friday, when Gov. Chris Christie vetoed a bill sponsored by state Sen. Raymond Lesniak (D-Union) that would allow the practice by deregulating it and circumventing the federal law prohibiting it.
Lesniak put the bill forward as an alternative means of ushering in sports wagering after being rebuffed by a federal appeals court and seeing the U.S. Supreme Court decline to hear the state's case.
The bill, which Christie noted in his veto as a "novel attempt," is "counter to our democratic traditions and inconsistent with the Constitutional values I have sworn to defend and protect."
"While I do not agree with the Circuit Court's conclusion, I do believe that the rule of law is sacrosanct, binding on all Americans," Christie wrote. "That duty adheres with special solemnity to those elected officials privileged to swear an oath to uphold the laws of our nation."
Christie added in his veto that there may still be other options for the state, but that there was no need to rush to find them.
"While I remain open to exploring legally sound ways to let the state's casinos and racetracks offer sports wagering, I am mindful that this process takes time," Christie wrote.

On Monday, Lesniak said he's still not sure why Christie, who supported the previous legal push to bring sports wagering to New Jersey, would veto his bill and at least not give it a shot.
"Everybody's scratching their heads," Lesniak said.
Lesniak said it would be "no harm, no foul" if the state decided to proceed with the bill only to find out later that it was in violation of federal law.
"Why not try it?" Lesniak said. "What's the harm? What's the governor afraid of?"
Now, according to Lesniak, the state is left with only two options if it ever wants a sniff at sports betting: a legislative override of Christie's veto, or just waiting it out a few years until a new governor is in office.
The problem with an override is that although the bill received wide bipartisan support in reaching Christie's desk, Lesniak said those same votes are never usually there a second time around after the governor has used his veto pen.
And waiting? Lesniak says that option "may very well be too late" to save the state's casinos and racetracks, which he says are "both on life support."
"They need help now," Lesniak said. "Not three years from now."

You Can't Argue With Christians
One of the things I have noticed in dealing with Christians on this blog and in person is that they are hard to deal with. They are hard to deal with because of their belief system and their world view. They are nearly impossible to talk with rationally (about religion, especially theirs) and they are dead set in their ways. They can quote snippets of the Bible with such forceful authority that it can make your hair stand on end. They speak as if their opinion is the God-sanctioned truth about both religion and politics.
Having been a Christian myself, I know from personal experience that "proving" to a Christian that they are wrong doesn't work. Trying to show them that the Bible is wrong or contradictory doesn't work. Trying to go against what their Christian leaders preach is pointless, too. The reason it is so hard is because of their mindset, their world view, their beliefs and the assurance that they are right.
Look at the things they believe:
- God is everywhere
- God hears all
- God sees all
- God acts (when he feels like it)
- God is mysterious
- God must be taken on faith
- The Bible is the word of God
- The Bible is infallible
- There are no contradictions in the Bible
- God intervenes when he sees fit
- God answers prayer – yes, no, wait
- God heals when he sees fit
- God can explain everything away
- Faith can explain everything away
- Contradictions are okay as long as they are from God
- God is the answer to everything
- It is up to him to give us the answers if he wants
- God is the way, the truth and the life
- Anything can be argued/proved by the Bible
- The earth is young
- God created it
- He put things there to trip up the scientists
- I'm a Christian, you're a Christian, we're all Christians (but I am in the right)
- All other religions are wrong
- Other religions have myths, fairy tales, superstitions but not mine
- There are angels around that help
- There are demons around that hinder
- I am right. You are wrong. You are a poor lost soul going to hell, sent there by a loving God, but it is your choice.
- God wants us all to come to him
- All you have to do to get to heaven is… take your pick depending on which Christian/religion you are talking to).
- God is, was, and ever shall be
- The earth is going to be destroyed
- God told us what was going to happen a long time ago
- God performs miracles
- God disrupts nature
- God uses natural events to punish sin
- God loves you and wants you to come to him, but if you don't he wants you to spend an eternity in torturous hell
- Humanity is sinful
- Without God we are hopeless, helpless and lawless
- After we die we go to heaven
- God lives in me
- God shows me what to do
- God speaks to me through his word
- Things happen for a reason
- The world is evil
I know not all Christians believe every single one of the things I wrote down, but that is another problem with Christianity – there are just too darn many variations. Some believe this, some believe that, some are adamantly opposed to this teaching and others are adamantly opposed to that teaching. Interpretation is everything. My denomination is better than yours. We have the real truth. That is one of the reasons I started taking a close look at my own beliefs, because of the many factions of Christianity.
So, if you can't argue with Christians, can't prove to them that they are wrong or their Bible is inadequate, can't show them their preachers don't always know what they are talking about, you can't convince them that they are using circular reasoning, what can you do?
Remember change occurs gradually. You can't lambaste someone into changing their beliefs; it only makes them more defensive. The harder you try, the more they resist. The more they resist, the more firmly they dig in their heals against change.
I remember when I became a Christian and I bet a lot of you do, too (if you weren't lucky enough to be born into a non-religious home). The first time I heard about being a born-again Christian I scoffed at the idea. After all, I was a good Catholic girl. What on earth did I need that for? But every once in awhile I would be confronted with that idea again, I heard more about it, I heard some Catholics were doing it, one of my friends did it, I became more open to it and sought out more examples that it might be true. And then eventually I tentatively did it myself. Then I looked for even more examples that I was doing the right thing. The more I looked the more convinced I became and soon my whole world view was changed around to look for God and Christianity everywhere. And I found the wonders of God wherever I looked. And I blocked out contradictions and the things that didn't make sense.
My deconversion story is much the same. I scoffed at unbelievers. How could they not believe? How could they not see God at work everywhere? How could they not know that Jesus was the only way to heaven? How could they not see and hear the beauty of God's word and experience the same fear I felt if I were not to believe in it?
My deconversion was a slow and imperfect process. At first I heard about some more liberal Christians and I couldn't believe it. How could they even claim to still be Christians? But then I met some and saw that they were genuine, just not as strict as I was. And so I loosened up a little. And then a little more.
I heard how some people were saying that maybe Jesus wasn't the only way to God, just one way. I scoffed at that, too. Of course Jesus was the only way; it said so right in the Bible. But the door was opened a crack and I was open to hearing more examples.
I don't want to go through each stage of my deconversion, but I think you get the idea. It happened gradually as I heard bits and pieces, closed my mind to it, heard some more, opened my mind a crack, looked for more examples, tentatively explored some thoughts in my journal and with a few close friends, took a step or two back, looked some more, opened some more, explored some more.
It wasn't arguments, persuasive or otherwise, that got me to either one of the extremes. It wasn't proofs and reports. It wasn't people railing against what I believed. It was hearing and listening, little bits at a time. It was done in my own time. It was opening doors, just a crack here and there, testing things out. It was seeking out confirmation other peoples' experience, through books and websites. It was two steps forward and one step back.
You can't whack people over the head and expect them to change immediately. You can't try to argue them out of a corner they have painted themselves into. You can't force the truth onto them. It takes awhile to change a mindset. I had to overcome internal resistance to the fact that I might be wrong. This is never easy. To admit I might be wrong takes courage, even if I am just admitting it to myself.
So don't lambaste, don't rail, don't argue. Don't try to force the door open because what will happen is that those Christians, with their integrity at stake, with their whole belief system and world view in jeopardy will lock that door with multiple locks, they will jam a chair up under the doorknob, they will alert the authorities that someone is trying to force their way in and they will close themselves off even more.
Instead, try some compassion. Remember that a lot of us were there at one time, too. Make suggestions. Offer different ways of looking at things. Be an example. Share your story. Instead of trying to force the door open, slip a little note under the door. Maybe they will read it, if not now, then later.
Here is my note for now:
Dear Christian,
Things are so much simpler when you look at life from a natural point of view instead of a spiritual one. Here is my world view:
- There are no supernatural beings – not Gods, not angels, not demons
- There are no miracles, no mystical elements, no revelations
- Natural phenomena is… natural, things happen because they do
- Humanity is beautiful - there is more good in the world than bad
- We live, we die, we create our own meaning in life
Try walking around one day with that view of life and see what happens.

Great closing lines of songs/tracks
Ok so I'm talking about songs where there is a payoff or a punchline rather than the standard chorus-repeat-to-fade. You know what I mean, proper closing lyrics that surprise and/or delight.
A couple of examples of what I'm talking about....
If you're feeling sinister by Belle & Sebastian
essentially a bleak song exploring small town melancholy, religious angst and teenage suicide, all of which culminates with the conclusion 'so if you are feeling sinister go off and see a minister, the chances are you'll probably feel better if you stay and play with yourself'.
"Something for the weekend" by The Divine Comedy
'when he woke she was gone with his car and all of his money', didn't see that one coming.
Your turn.......
Weird Al Yankovic - Living With A Hernia. No, wait...
His parody of James Brown's "Living In America". After the final staccato horns bring the song to an end, he says "I Feel Bad!". I laughed like an idiot when I first heard him say that, because as I was listening to it I knew he HAD to say that - & when he DID, I don't know, it was hilarious. You had to be there. Ahem.
And then one day it happened...
...she cut her hair and I stopped loving her.JaguarPirate and monoshono this'd this
This the last song I will ever sing (cheers)
No, I've changed my mind again (groans)
Goodnight, and thank you
Morrissey - Disappointed
You've caught me at a bad time
So why don't you piss off
New Order - Your Silent Face
- thekidswhopoptoday this'd this
Shit, I said
I was never a breast man anyway
Tindersticks - ChocolateAntelope this'd this
'and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make'
Would've been a fine end, if they hadn't put her majesty on the end.
The opportunity was there to release Abbey Road as the last album and have that as the last line of their recorded career which wouldn've been great.rainmaker this'd this
'The fact that you are married only proves you're my best friend.
But it's truly, truly a sin.' Pale Blue Eyes - Velvet Underground
He does repeat the 'linger on' bit, but this line turns the whole song on its head. Great thread.
Bob Dylan - Idiot Wind
The way the last lines turn the whole song around, from being spiteful into being full of regret.
Aren't you glad to live in America?
(Stnnng - New National Anthem)
Deerhunter - He Would Have Laughed
the way bradford sneers "shut the hell...shut your mouth" gets me every time
Barry Adamson's 'Still I Rise' Is a fine example
of this. Finishes with:
"...the man with the Golden hip bone connected to the… devil's fucking plaything".
If you spend 2mins and 25 secs of you day listening to this you won't regret it:
Trust me.
Tom Waits Martha
It's great anyway, but if you interpret that last line as being sung by martha, and not by tom frost, it's even better.
those funny little plans that never work quite right.
mercury revDave_iLT this'd this
Elliot Smith - I Didn't Understand
You once talked to me about love and you painted pictures of
A never-neverland and I could of gone to that place
But I didn't understand
I didn't understand
I didn't understand
gets me everytime :(
Glassjaw - Tip you bartender
Buy it.
Load it.
Shoot it.
Glassjaw - Babe
It's a field trip to Hollywood Babylon but
The Unicorns - Ready To Die
i've seen the world, kissed all the pretty girls
i've said my goodbyes and now (cough) i'm ready to die. (cough)
It's a great ending to the album as well as the song, just sums up their attitude really.
Mad Skillz "Ghostwriter"
You favorite rappers' songs? I put the flames in it.
Y'all keep fucking around, I'm a put this back out with your names in it.
WOOAAAAAAAH there's a live version where he actually did!!! :D
They're pretty much all rappers who you'd expect to/openly use ghostwriters though
Puff Daddy, Jermain Dupri, Will Smith, Mase...
Probably more of a burn left censored.
yeah, i was just kind of surprised/happy to hear it uncensored after all these years
I assumed it was nonspecific/fictionalised. :)
Half Man Half Biscuit - Evil gazebo
Suspected murderer of Tupac murder suspect
Nothing to do with the rest of the song at all.
My favourite HMHB closing line
'Might as well be in Ely or St Ives' from What is Chateris?
Doesn't really mean anything without the rest of the song though.
- Cementimental this'd this
Wild Beasts - All the King's Men
"Number my babies and my broken body"
Never sure whether this is a bloke ruing has bygone days of sexual conquest or what, but he's certainly not cocksure at the end.
Jim O' Rourke's Get A Room is also great:
"And your skin's getting colder"
A great tune where the protagonist is dying next to his partner and can't reach her or do anything. Creepy.
...and i'm too sexy for this song
neatly resolved
The Magnetic Fields - Papa Was a Rodeo
What a coincidence... your papa was a rodeo too!guyofthelondonzoo this'd this
''Then I put the letter back in the place where it was found
In the pocket of a jacket on a train in town
Sent to her from heaven
Sally Cinnamon, you're her world''
Nice turnaround
Hold Steady, I forget the song name:
"I know it's unlikely that she'll ever be mine,
so I mostly just pray she don't die"
Beautifully pathetic.

Purpose Of Blog—if you want to know about me, go to "About" page
There is a growing class divide. The speed and breadth of power corporations and the wealthy have been accumulating is shocking, and this country is morphing into something that benefits only a select few.
The public is also making political and economic choices based on wrong information given to them by conservative groups and pundits masquerading as news, i.e., FOX News, and these decisions are to their/our detriment.
With this site I want to get out the real news and share my thoughts and views on our politics and current events.

The Tri-River Historical Museum Network, an association of mid-Michigan historical museums, is hosting "Spring into the Past" from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. There will be 22 unique area museums open for visitors and many participating museums will be hosting special events as well.
The Tri-River Historical Museum Network, an association of mid-Michigan historical museums, is hosting "Spring into the Past" from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. There will be 22 unique area museums open for visitors and many participating museums will be hosting special events as well.
Saranac Historical Society President, Pat Raimer, said that the Saranac Depot Museum's feature of Michigan's first roadside table, which was placed in 1929, will be one of the highlights of the event. Allan Williams' roadside table was located on the southeast corner of Grand River Avenue and Morrison Lake Road south of Saranac.
Since M-66 was the main route between Detroit, Lansing, and Grand Rapids at that time, this roadside table was seen by many Michigan residents. In addition to Williams' table, the Saranac Depot is also hosting a bake sale, a large military display and a display of Larry's Store, which operated in Saranac from 1950-1997.
The Belding Museum and Belding Exploration Lab will also be open this weekend for the event. All museums in Montcalm and Ionia counties will have free admission during the tours.
The Belding Museum Secretary, Jan Mehney, said a highlight of the weekend will be the special exhibit at the Belding Museum, "A Celebration of Vintage Fashion," which depicts clothing styles through the decades. Visitors may also view the updated displays throughout the museum's three floors. The Belding Museum in located in the historic Belrockton at 103 Hanover St.
The Ionia County Historical Society will be hosting the event at the Blanchard House and is celebrating the founding of Ionia 180 years ago. This event will feature cake, ice cream, tours of the Blanchard House, and a bake sale.
Linda Ciangi, member of the group, has helped to organize the event and is excited for the presentation of the Ypsilanti Reed Furniture showcase in the museum's conservatory. The Ypsilanti Reed Furniture Company started in Ypsilanti in 1901 and moved to Ionia in 1904. For the event, the Blanchard House will feature many new showcases that pay tribute to Ionia's history, from the Dexter Colony settlements in 1833 forward.
In addition to the new showcases, the museum gift shop will also be open this weekend. Stephanie VanderMolen, president of the Ionia County Historical Society, will be helping with the quilt raffle on Sunday. The quilt was started by a descendant of John C. Blanchard and many local residents aided in its completion. Tickets for the quilt raffle are still available.
In addition to the "Spring into the Past" event this weekend, the Ionia County Historical Society will be hosting the Upstairs Downtown Tour on May 18 in downtown Ionia and the Antique Fayre and Flea Market May 31 and June 1 at the Blanchard House.

I watched a short sneak preview online video and found that Meryl Streep lives up to my expectations as the perfect Julia Child. I had not the slightest reservation that she would pull it off in grand style. You absolutely must check out the most delightful site regarding the movie. A happy melody greets you. Click on "Watch the Trailer" and a video clip introduces you to the plot. At the conclusion of the video, click on "Enter the Site" and you will just smile... a wire whisk unravels to form the outline of Paris's Eiffel Tower on the left side of the screen and a city (New York?) skyline to the right side of the screen. then pull down the "Menu" for a wide array of fun features and info that awaits you!

Guidelines for Contributing Code
Contributions to PAL are very welcome. Basically, there are two main routes:
Minor contribution
: If you want to contribute a single or few classes only, for example those implementing your own favorite method, simply send your tested code to one of the core team members. Your class(es) will then be included in the library for publication in the next release. Your contribution will be acknowledged in the sources, in all documentation, and on the web.
Major contribution
: On the other hand, you may be interested in joining the PAL core team in further developing and improving PAL in general. This generally involves a considerable amount of continuous (and sometimes boring) work on all parts of the library. If you have experience with a similar project before and now would like to bring in your expertise in PAL, get in touch and you will be afforded full CVS rights.
In both cases the following PAL programming guidelines
be followed. The aim is to have code that is easy to understand by people other than the original author, and that runs on a minimal Java platform:
Coding conventions: all code must follow the Java coding conventions. In particular, the Java naming conventions for variables, class names, constants etc. must be followed strictly.
Preferentially, all code should follow Java 1.0 language standard rather than Java 1.1. language standard.
Access to library features must be restricted to Java 1.1 (no Java 1.2/1.3 library).
All classes and public/protected methods must be documented using JavaDoc comments.
Each public class must carry @author and @version tags.
All code must carry the standard PAL header, assigning copyright to the PAL Core Development Team and permitting distribution by the GNU GPL.
Your code must fully comply with the GNU GPL, i.e. must be your own or from some other GNU or public domain source.
Code containing, e.g., portions from Numerical Recipes can not be accepted
In your classes methods from existing PAL packages likes pal.io, pal.math, pal.util should be preferred over the corresponding SUN packages (e.g., for random numbers)
If you need to change code other than yours be careful not to break it!
Needless to say, all code should be well tested and should actually do what it claims ..
Please look at the sources of the current PAL distribution for example code.

K. Sophia - Mama to my little lactivore, the amazing Mr. X (11/10).
Thanks for responding! She's 6 weeks from delivery and already sleeping on piddle pads. Here's the following advice I gave her. I know you all advise against the pump but if using it will get her further along she might as well know the bast way to do it in the first months.
You either have to feed or pump when the baby is hungry...never both. Pumping after a full sucessful feeding creates oversupply and is telling your body to make more milk.
Milk supply regulates after 12 weeks. Before then it is still fluctuating and increasing as to how much the baby is eating.
You have to pump or breast feed every time the baby is hungry to empty and help with the leaking. There is really no option to skip a feeding and not expect to be engourged and leaky.
If you skip a feeding and pump instead you want to pump at least 15 minutes or until the last milk stops flowing. IE..you're empty. You may end up with more then the baby will eat in one single feeding so it can be divided into more then one bottle.
As for the leaking, I've read that many mothers with this problem sleep on multiple towels and with multiple breast pads and just have to deal with it until their milk supply regulates with what the baby is consuming. You more then likely had some degree of oversupply and over active let-down. There are ways to control and deal with this in the long term.
Knowing her, she's not going to stick with it but I'm hoping a little advice will at least help her for the time she does commit to. I don't know what advice to give her about the PPD. She pulled out of it last time at about 3-4 weeks but was pretty down in the beginning.

Last upgrade modified my /etc/sudoers file. It asked me if I wanted to install maintainers file and that's what I chose.
Since then, I could no longer sudo !
Hopefully, I had backuped my sudoers file before I chose to install the maintainers one...
Be careful !

Since asking if you want to keep your custom configuration or reinstall the maintainer's default configuration is the perfect and sane way to do it, it is not an upgrade warning, so I moved this thread to "software". It is default behaviour in Debian and apt offers you "No" as default action (not changing your custom configuration).
You chose to have your custom configuration replaced. Apt did what you asked for.

Beside that it is dpkg which asks this conf files question (but that is nit-picking) it also creates various files to help you even if you chose the wrong option: Just look at the place the file normally resists for files with .dpkg-{new,dist,temp,old,…} extensions and restore the correct one…
The question gives you btw the option to show a diff - use it! If dpkg asks me this questions (not common on my laptop, but on my phone as the software is in big flux) i normally diff first, and then let dpkg spawn a shell for me were i can edit the file to get the new and better settings while leaving e.g. my debugging settings intact… i exit the shell, dpkg asks again and i verify with diffing again if i did all what i wanted and either repeat to edit again or kepp my file and let dpkg proceed.
The force is with you, so use it!

After looking at the maintainer's version I also decided to use that one and put my modifications into /etc/sudoers.d/ as suggested in the maintainer's sudoers file.
I just wonder what is the difference between the former "root ALL=(ALL) ALL" and the new "root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL"? And why "Defaults timestamp_timeout=0" was removed and what's the consequence.

That is what I did as well so that I would be less like to run into this again.
If the Debian folks go to the trouble of suggesting where I should put a config, I try to pay attention.
I was wondering about the difference but I just copied the new syntax

i thought we didn't sudo in aptosid, only sux.
sudo is not supported
sudo is not enabled by default on installation to hard disk
. It is available for use on a live-ISO since no root password is preset. The reasoning behind this is so that if an attacker gets hold of the users password, they do not immediately get full super-user priviledges and make potentially damaging changes to your system.
Another issue with sudo is that it leads to running a root application with a users configuration, which may override or change permissions. In some cases, this can subsequently make an application unusable for the user.
Use sux, kdesu, gksu or su-to-root -X -c as recommended!
but i too am curious what the different effect is btwn pkg maintainer's version and what i had.
i looked at the diff but it means nothing to me. since i re-disabled sudo maybe it means nothing to anyone 8S
ps i can sympathize with the op putting this in upgrade WARNINGS. many of us (most of us? some of us? well, me anyway!) these questions that come up during a dist-upgrade, whether i do a diff or not, i have NO IDEA what effect my choices will have. it brings to mind a Monty Python movie with a knight trying to cross a bridge and a troll asking questions. the wrong answer and. . . AHHHRGH. ripped into shreds and fed to the rabbits.

Its pretty easy actually: Do you remember editing the file? No? -> Good candidate for replacing by maintainer version (they know what they do in general) Yes? Why? A Workaround? -> look at the diff, maybe its now included. Permanent setting? -> using your old will properly be okay, but look at the changes in the maintainer file. Also, try to watch for config file fragment directories (ending in .d). More and more software supports these to simplify the life of users…
You are helpless? -> Ask, here or IRC, very few people got killed for asking a question here.
That is btw the punshline in the sketch above: The heros could pass the brigde by tricking the guard into giving a wrong answer by asking a question.
Maybe, it will need some time until you find the holy grenade (= a solution to your problem) here in case you use some obscure or unsupported software, but you can at least try…
For the record: I haven't sudo installed - su is more than enough for me

For those who kept the old sudoers file, here's a copy of the new one, notice the sudoers.d and sudo group options:
# This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root.
# Please consider adding local content in /etc/sudoers.d/ instead of
# directly modifying this file.
# See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file.
Defaults env_reset
# Host alias specification
# User alias specification
# Cmnd alias specification
# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
# Allow members of group sudo to execute any command
%sudo ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
#includedir /etc/sudoers.d
and in /etc/sudoers.d place the new sudoers file (chmod the file to 0440)
echo 'username ALL=(ALL) ALL' >> /etc/sudoers.d/sudoers
chmod 0440 /etc/sudoers.d/sudoers

Brown v. Board of Education 50th Anniversary Commission
In 2001, President Bush signed legislation that established the Brown v. Board of Education 50th Anniversary Commission for the purpose of encouraging and providing for the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark May 17, 1954, decision in Brown v. Board of Education, which declared racially segregated schools to be unconstitutional. OCR was primarily responsible for organizing and managing the commission. Over the past three years, the commission disseminated information about the Brown decision through lectures, town hall meetings, writing contests and public service announcements. The programs included:
|"Brown promised access to school for all children, regardless
of their skin color. Today, No Child Left Behind aims to go beyond
that question of access: Now that everyone can walk into the schoolhouse
door unimpeded and unafraid, we have to make sure that they receive a high-quality
Rod Paige
- The Latino Pursuit for Excellence in U.S. Public Schools: Mendez (1946) and Brown ;
- Today and Beyond, Advocating Equality for All: The Impact of Women Civil Rights Activists on Brown ; and
- Making the Spiritual Practical: The Impact of the Faith Community on Brown.
On May 17, 2004, at the opening of the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site in Topeka, Kan., President Bush said, "On this day, in this place, we remember with gratitude the good souls who saw a great wrong, and stood their ground, and won their case. And we celebrate a milestone in the history of our glorious nation."
