The Expelled film: Straws in the wind, and other news
May 19, 2008 | Posted by O'Leary under Expelled, Intelligent Design |
First straw flies past: The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) is playing the "religion" card, of course:
… the statement noted, more than 11,000 Christian leaders in the United States have signed a letter affirming that evolution does not conflict with religious faith. The United Church of Christ recently sent out a pastoral letter expressing a similar position. Evolution "is based on a diverse and robust body of physical evidence, from fossilized bones to radiometric measurements of the ages of the Earth's rocks," the statement says. But the movie, by conveying misinformation about science and researchers, seeks to force religious viewpoints into science class …
AAAS's PR people think that today's serious Christians are stupid. That we haven't seen the film, don't know that the key issue it raises is intellectual integrity, and don't even know that their tame clergy are, for the most part, the phantoms of a discredited liberalism – haunting churches awaiting rapture into condos.
Second straw: If AAAS is the large event, here's a small one: A reader wrote me last night wanting to know what I thought of the fact that Expelled had flopped at the box office.
Much surprised, I wrote back, pointing out,
Expelled is # 5 in all recorded political documentaries, grossing Domestic Total as of May 18, 2008: $7,486,000 (Estimate)
Here's the list of the documentaries, including those released this year, of which Expelled is doing by far the best.
I asked in what sense my correspondent (who was delighted by the prospect, I suspect) thought that the film had flopped. He wrote back to say that (1) it hadn't done well in his neck of the woods and (2) that it wasn't doing as well as Michael Moore's documentaries.
Moore, of course, practically defined the art, so it's not surprising that his films would lead. Still, if we look at the list of all documentaries tracked by Box Office Mojo, Moore's Roger and Me did not make as much in 19 years as Expelled made in a couple of weeks. But, in fairness to Moore, he was starting from behind back in 1989 because the genre was new. So we can't really count that.
1 | Fahrenheit 9/11 | Lions | $119,194,771 | 2,011 | $23,920,637 | 868 | 6/23/04 |
2 | Sicko | LGF | $24,540,079 | 1,117 | $68,969 | 1 | 6/22/07 |
3 | An Inconvenient Truth | ParC | $24,146,161 | 587 | $281,330 | 4 | 5/24/06 |
4 | Bowling for Columbine | UA | $21,576,018 | 248 | $209,148 | 8 | 10/11/02 |
5 | Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed | RM | $7,486,000 | 1,052 | $2,970,848 | 1,052 | 4/18/08 |
6 | Roger and Me | WB | $6,706,368 | 265 | $80,253 | 4 | 12/22/89 |
The more recent films that grossed better are between about one and six years old, and Expelled's run has been measured only in weeks. So this is failure?
Still, don't be surprised to hear your local Bible school's biology drone announcing to the Daily Yawnicle that Expelled is "doing a lot of harm in the Christian community, causing students to doubt science and to question their faith" – just about the worst things he can imagine, I suppose.
Third straw before I stopped noticing: ID basher Larry Arnhart pretends to read some sinister significance into the fact that Michael Behe isn't in the Expelled film.
I wonder if ID bashers are hoping that readers will not realize that Behe WASN'T expelled. He still has his lab and his job as a biochemistry prof at Lehigh (that's not the ID bashers' fault, you may be sure).
Behe's first book, Darwin's Black Box, came out in 1996 (Free Press). At that time, it was still safe for the Darwin mob to portray a scientist who knows that Darwinism is a crock – and is actually willing to admit it – as a tenured crank who could be attacked, then ignored. Later, when the bad news grew in volume, they knew better. They had to start Expelling even high profile doubters. Hence the film.
So now what? Well, with Edge of Evolution, Behe has written another powerful book, but it is only one of many available. So it is safest for the Lehigh Darwinbots to either buy him out or wait him out until retirement, rather than give him reason to appear in Expelled.
Case in point: When Baylor decided to roughhouse Bob Marks while Expelled was being shot, Baylor ended up as one of the film's locations.
Today, even people who say that they hate the ID guys are starting to publish seriously on Darwin's Blank Crocks. So expanding the Expelled strategy might not be a smart move. Anyway, stay tuned.
There, Larry, is that so hard to understand?
Since we are here anyway, here's an truly reliable and unbiased account of evolution from the Simpsons.
Just up at the Overwhelming Evidence blog
Physicist: Darwin's theory of evolution supported in part from "calculated fear" A remarkable admission in light of all the bilge currently fronted by tax-supported science organizations, assuring us that the Expelled film is wrong, wrong, wrong and that no such thing is going on.

True, Behe wasn't expelled, per se. But neither were Bruce Chapman, Richard Weikart, Gerald Schroeder, Michael Egnor, or David Berlinski, all of whom were interviewed in Expelled. The argument that Behe didn't appear because he didn't suffer enough doesn't hold water and then we remain with the fact that perhaps the single most recognizable name in ID was left on the cutting room floor. This demands a better explanation than Behe wasn't a martyr.
My guess as to why is because Behe doesn't buy into the Darwin/Hitler rubbish and/or he gives Darwinian mutation/selection too much credit over billions of years of descent with modification while not showing proper deference to the 144-hour creation mythologists.

Album Reviews:
Clash (magazine) - "FRIENDS, their fourth record, continues their almost perverse obsession with crisp, vibrant synth pop and gnarly post-punk....There's a remarkable level of consistency."
Album Notes
Since their debut, 2009's impressive To Lose My Life..., Britain's White Lies have stayed remarkably true to their crisply delivered brand of brooding, emotive post-punk. Centered on the yearning croon of lead singer/guitarist Harry McVeigh, White Lies also feature bassist Charles Cave and drummer Jack Lawrence-Brown. Together, they craft an undeniably attractive sound that matches hooky choruses and poetic lyrics with a moody, bass-heavy sound that owes a large debt to '80s icons like Joy Division and The Teardrop Explodes. Subsequent albums, like 2013's Big TV, found them fleshing out their arrangements with shimmering orchestral synths and electronic flourishes. With their fourth studio album, 2016's Friends, the band continues to hew closely to its gray-scale aesthetics, albeit with a nuanced sophistication and brighter melodic palette that sounds like something you'd encounter on college rock radio in the early '80s. Largely self-produced, Friends sounds a lot like the band's past work, full of propulsive Peter Hook-influenced basslines, edgy, kinetic electric guitars, driving beats, and synthesizers that frame McVeigh's burnished baritone hue in a halo of neon sparkle. Cuts like "Take It Out on Me," "Morning in LA," and the Richard Wilkinson-produced "Come On" are soaring anthems that balance gothy gravitas with an uplifting, romantic pop euphoria. Similarly, tracks like "Hold Back Your Love" and "Is My Love Enough?" bring to mind something along the lines of a Scott Walker album as produced by Giorgio Moroder. Ultimately, Friends is a focused, clear-eyed album that finds White Lies trading some of the sprawling ambition of Big TV for the infectious pop urgency of their debut. ~ Matt Collar

Poser, 10, Poser Pro 2014 get subdivision surfaces, live simulations
Smith Micro has launched Poser 10 and Poser Pro 2014, updates of the developer's core 3D rendering and animation tools. Both apps have gained a number of new features, such as subdivision surfaces, which let users set subdivision levels for props, figures, or body parts using Pixar's OpenSubdiv library. The technology should improve aspects like bending accuracy and object smoothness.

A new Bullet Physics tool simulates both rigid- and soft-body dynamics, including hair, which should save work in creating realistic animation. Along those lines Smith Micro has added a Live Simulation mode, enabling real-time animation previews.

 A Comic Book Preview Mode lets comic illustrators generate color or black-and-white art, with line controls and shading effects. A Fitting Room meanwhile lets people attach existing clothing and props to a figure and quickly tailor them for differences in the figure's dimensions.

 Until June 30th, Poser 10 is $240, and Poser Pro 2014 is $400. After that point pricing for Poser 10 will go up to $300, while Poser Pro will jump to $500.

"Best theology I've ever heard in a short book"
This book is an absolute gem. It presents the deepest mysteries of God in a way that any one can understand. I think the best age would be approximately 7 years old and up. I however will be playing this in my grand children's bedrooms at night as they go to sleep. I will buy dozens of copies of this book to give to new believers and to give to those who have been all messed up in church and religions
I bought this for myself, after listening to the audio clip. God's love shines clearly through David Suchet's narration.
I'd say it's suitable for children and child-like adults!

I am in love with the alphabet pillows. It would create a small problem to win though because I could not do without both. I would have to order the other. I am inspired by the bold colors. Thanks for the chance.

I LOVE the Alpha needlepoint kits- her choice of colors is really fun! I love Alpha I because of the blues (my favorite color), but I'm also partial to the Alpha II because of the great fonts! So hard to choose! I can't wait to see her Alphabet charts (which are coming soon!) Thank you so much for pointing out this great site!

As a huge needlepoint fan, I was really excited to see this post...I am always looking for ideas of where to get my next canvas. I love these designs... definitely a fun change from your traditional, boring florals! I love the Three Swallows design. It has great, bright colors and a cheerful, but still contemporary pattern. It would look great in so many rooms! MMahon

Oh my goodness! I am almost worried that MoS has introduced me to Felicity Hall...I want them all! I am thinking the two car pillows would be amazing in my son's room (and I must have two because he's got a little brother on the way now). There really isn't one I don't like. How fun to have the classic tradition of needlepoint in such modern and vibrant colors! Thanks for this gals!

are you serious? "one" favorite?? impossible. but i must say that the Victorian one with it's shades of blue and brown seems to exemplify her contemporary spin on an old art form. today the hot combo for decorating is blue and brown and all variations thereof and yet the items in her NP are of a Victorian era and using NP as the medium for presenting it. I find that one pice speaks voluumes about her interpretation of our passion.

Dwight Howard always wanted to go to Brooklyn. The newness of the franchise and the chance to create a new legacy — in a big market — enticed Howard greatly. If only the other half of his mind had not convinced him to stay in Orlando for another half year and send himself into purgatory and eventually re-request his trade out of Central Florida.
By the time Howard had finally decided there was no going back to Orlando — he had already physically left The City Beautiful in March for back surgery — the Nets had moved on. Literally to Brooklyn but also past Howard. The Nets were done waiting.
And they are done waiting now, even if Dwight Howard wants to pull them back in.
Tuesday, Jarrod Rudolph of RealGM reported that Nets general manager Billy King has quietly been looking for a third team to help facilitate a deal that would bring Dwight Howard to his desired location, Brooklyn.
According to sources, King was planning to contact the Minnesota Timberwolves in order to gauge their interest in a three-team trade that would send Kevin Love to the Lakers, Brook Lopez to the Timberwolves and Dwight Howard to the Nets. Other small pieces would need to be included, but the proposed trade was thought to be intriguing enough to start conversations in the Lakers front office that would force them to deal with Howard earlier than planned.
That idea, however, was hurt when Love was sidelined 8-10 weeks with a broken hand. The Nets believed the Lakers would be interested in Love, but not an injured Love, even if they're facing missing the playoffs, according to sources.
King will still look around for an attractive piece for the Lakers, but won't make getting Howard as big a priority as last season, according to sources. But he will continue to watch the Lakers and explore intriguing trade options, sources said.
The report was vehemently refuted by a source to NetsDaily.com:
Nets source: Howard trade rumor "total BS" … "fabricated" by "Jarrod Whatever His Name Is" Strong words delivered minutes after report.
— NetsDaily.com (@NetsDaily) January 22, 2013
Whether or not such a deal was discussed seriously or if the Nets and King were simply doing their due diligence is completely unknown. It depends on which reporter you want to believe.
As Nets Daily notes, several Nets sources have said the Nets are happy with Brook Lopez, who is gaining All-Star consideration, and have no intentions of shaking things up. Particularly since the Nets have gotten out of their little mid-season funk and are making a run to take the Knicks off their Atlantic Division perch.
Again, it depends on what you want to believe.
Remember though, Rudolph was in front of the Dwight Howard story in Orlando and was the one who broke the story that Howard would opt-in to the final year of his deal.
It is just as possible that both guys are right with the Nets denying their interest in a trade to keep team morale up and a discontented Howard having his people leak information out or begin investigating the structure of a deal to get him what he wants.
Who knows? I do not know what is really going on. Your theory is as good as mine.
This just feels all too familiar with the speculation and rumors surrounding Howard.
What we do know though is the Lakers are struggling. And that Dwight Howard has not looked like the same happy-go-lucky, dominant Howard in Los Angeles. The weight of the world is still on his shoulders it seems. And if he is not happy with his situation in Los Angeles, he can still elect to leave in free agency.
Ramona Shelburne and Marc Stein of ESPN Los Angeles report the Lakers still feel confident they can resign Howard, but his growing discontent with Mike D'Antoni and his role in the team's offense is making the Lakers nervous. It is not surprising to hear that Los Angeles is beginning to explore their trade options.
Howard is keeping quiet, predictably.
Unpredictably though, Howard re-aggravated his shoulder injury in Wednesday's loss to Memphis. He is going back to Los Angeles to have his shoulder examined again. He could miss more time. That could throw a wrench in any trade plans.
And so it all begins again. Wake me when it is over.

Bayern Munich coach Jupp Heynckes said Sunday he was pleased with his team's 2-1 win at Stuttgart after they came from behind to claim victory and are set to finish 2011 top of the German league.
Germany striker Mario Gomez scored either side of half-time against his former club after Stuttgart midfielder Christian Gentner had given Stuttgart an early lead.
The hosts were reduced to 10 men after defender Cristian Molinaro was shown a red yellow card after only 29 minutes for a foul on Bayern winger Arjen Robben, just five minutes after he had also tackled the Dutchman from behind.
Victory puts Bayern three points clear and, with a superior goal difference advantage, they are set to finish the year as league leaders with the Bundesliga to break for winter next Sunday.
"There are still 18 games to play, the crucial thing was to win at Stuttgart, which you can never take for granted," said Heynckes after a lively south Germany derby.
"Towards the end, you could see some of my players beginning to look drained.
"Gomez didn't just score the two goals, he also worked really hard when we weren't in possession.
"Games against Stuttgart are very special for him. Fortunately, he scored both goals, and we really needed them."
Bayern midfielder Thomas Mueller admitted Munich had to work to take the three points.
"It was an important match, and Stuttgart are very hard work away from home," he said.
"We went a goal down but put it behind us very well.
"We've turned a game around and fought back.
"We made trouble for ourselves towards the end because we failed to make it 3-1, and it was a very nervous finish.
"You might even say we were a little fortunate, because Stuttgart had chances."
Stuttgart coach Bruno Labbadia praised his team for their battling display despite being a man down for more than an hour.
"My team put up a fantastic fight and we were very good tactically," he said.
"We've not been rewarded for our courage, it's a shame, but it wasn't quite enough."

Organizing a remote state of incipient talk: Push-to-talk mobile radio interaction
This study investigates the organization of conversational interaction via push-to-talk mobile radios. Operating like long-range walkie-talkies, the mobile radios mediate a remote state of incipient talk; at the push of a button, speakers can initiate, engage, dis-engage and re-engage turn-by-turn talk. Eight closely-knit friends used the mobile radios for one week; fifty of their conversational exchanges were analyzed using conversation analytic methods. The findings describe the contour of their conversational exchanges: how turn-by-turn talk is engaged, sustained and dis-engaged. Similar to a continuing state of incipient talk in copresence, opening and closing sequences are rare. Instead speakers engage turn-by-turn talk by immediately launching the purpose of the call. Speakers dis-engage turn-by-turn talk by orienting to the relevance of a lapse at sequence completion. Once engaged, the mobile radio system imposes silence between speakers' turns-at-talk giving them a resource for managing a remote conversation amidst on-going copresent activities.

After missing out on initial Indian Premier League action, Praveen Kumar made an instant impact against Chennai Super Kings, albeit in a losing cause, but the Mumbai Indians medium-pacer said he still gets the goose bumps when he thinks about his snub during the February auctions.
"I was very disappointed when I was not picked in the auctions. It was a shocking moment for me. I was dejected for the first week-and-a-half, but started to calm down as the days passed by," Praveen told IPL's official website.

This is awesome.
"The Sawi were headhunters and cannibals when a young couple named Don and Carol Richardson arrived in their village carrying their seven-month-old boy Steve—and a message that would change the tribe forever. The year was 1962, and Steve—and later, three more children—spent their youth among the Sawi, learning the language and embracing the culture in ways that would shape the rest of their lives. Their story was immortalized in the best-selling book Peace Child and a feature film of the same name, inspiring a new generation to take the gospel to the remaining isolated tribes of the earth.
Fifty years later, Steve joins his father, Don, and two brothers, Shannon and Paul, to visit the Sawi village where they grew up. What is the state of the church they planted among the Sawi? Are the friends they played with still alive? Will anyone remember the mark their family left on the tribe? Journey with Steve as he travels to the swamps of Papua, Indonesia, to introduce you to the Sawi, and explore the impact of the gospel among a previously unreached people group."
Amazing, isn't it?

Bringing the Cedars to Downtown. Or: Some Good Ideas, Goodspeed.
From Belleview Place, the winning design for the Cedars in the Urban Land Institute competition |
In January, we mentioned that the Urban Land Institute annual Gerald D. Hines Student Urban Design Competition was using Dallas's very own Cedars neighborhood as the site of its contest. Well, the competition's come and gone -- in April, a team from the University of Pennsylvania won with its plan for integrating the Cedars into downtown -- but one of the myriad contestants today posted his team's homework to his blog, and it makes for an interesting read. Rob Goodspeed (any relation to Stanley?) offers his team's suggestions for how to reconnect, rethink and renew the neighborhood -- using everything from "a new amphitheater in the Old City Park" to "a magnet arts middle school" to "a restaurant and craft brewpub [that] would serve as a hub of activity at the Cedars DART Station." --Robert Wilonsky

Corner semi-detached of four bedroom house situated in the residential area of Mas d'en Serra just five minutes drive from the Centre of Sitges, the Olive Tree international school and the French Ecole Bel Air. This property offers incredible views of Vilanova i La Geltrú, the surrounding mountains and the sea on the horizon.
It is an ideal property for a family in need of space, since it offers three comfortable and spacious bedrooms located at the same level, in addition to the master bedroom with dressing room, complete bathroom and exit onto a terrace with fantastic panoramic views... A basement converted into game room / 4 car garage complete the housing. Outer space is spacious and welcoming. The House has hardwood floors in bedrooms and marble in the rest. Optional furniture.
Sitges has always been a place that has enchanted artists, tourists and visitors from all over. For many people, the secret lies in its light and its almost 300 sunny days a year. The Nature has been generous to Sitges, as it has the privilege of being located on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea and protected by the Garraf Park Mountains. Culturally, the legacy is extraordinary. Art is alive and traditions are maintained with modernity. Sitges has preserved important medieval references and the quaintness of the old village of farmers and fishermen. It has a cosmopolitan character thanks to the diversity of its population, where more than 70 different nationalities live together, which is certified with the existence of four international nearby schools. Now, in the twenty-first century, Sitges is based on creativity, talent and innovation, but without losing its roots. Sitges is a city that attracts and seduces.

Waaaay Behind JT2
Carol is doing hers in pink and brown solids. She has been doing a lot of embroidery on her blocks and she has also reversed the values on her quilt. Where the pattern calls for white, she is using brown, and pink for the red.
This photo shows how one pattern made in the reverse values can look so totally different. I love this block, I could see a whole quilt made out of it.
I was doing the walk of shame today, my only movement from last month to this month was four checker board strips. Here is K's blocks, scrappy reds with embroidery. Both K and M used the same red for the Celtic Knot appliqued block and it's perfect for this piece. The top right block is K's addition to the pattern, she is using this block instead of one of the sail boats. I'm thrilled to see everyone putting their own stamp on this pattern.
C arrived saying, "I haven't got the wedding ring block done" I replied, "I haven't even seen the wedding ring pattern!" She is ticking right along, staying on task and will have all the blocks done when the last pattern is released. What a difference the embroidery makes on her blocks.
I love the embroidery on the lone star block, it's perfect!
M has also gotten busy, she told me she was back at this after taking the summer off, but I didn't realize how much she had gotten done. I'm impressed AND I'm a lot smarter now because of her blocks.
Look at how she addressed these blocks. This was done with fusible applique, but the biggest thing is that she cut the red out all in one piece. What a smart cookie, talk about thinking outside the box.
Another one piece applique.....
and another. This one M reversed as she did not want the shadowing of the red showing through the white.
and another one piece applique. I was so thrilled to learn this from M today. I know exactly how I'll be cutting out my blocks. That's the beauty of quilting with a group, someone always steps up to the plate with a new idea or technique or tool or trick.
And since I did the walk of shame, I got busy tonight when I got home. My lone star is put together along with my strip of bow ties. I pulled out my applique supplies and I will be doing M's method on my blocks and hope to get a few more done tomorrow.
What have you learned lately? Any new tool you wouldn't want to give up!
Staying focused will result in finishes. Our group is going to skip December and January meetings. All the patterns should be published by Dec 15. We shall meet again in February to share any issues or ideas and will wrap up this group in March. I hope to see everyone either finished or very close to finished on their top. It's been a great journey with this group and the monthly meetings have definitely been an asset in keeping me on task. Hmmmmm, what can we start in April on the first Sat of each month?

I love seeing the variations on this theme!
I'm also reassured that I did the right thing in NOT taking on this project. I'm sure I could never have kept up and then I would have given up. But I love what I see everyone else doing. That is so clever, the way you are making those blocks all in one piece. - November 3, 2012 at 10:38 PM

Not really, when Fords new diesel cranks out 325 hp and 550 ft/lbs. I'm sure the Dodge will run well but it's probably lacking in low end for serious towing.

I knew he was talking about the gas hemi. Great top end power, but a lot less torque than a diesel or the other companies gassers. Be a hell of an engine in a half-ton though.

you tow where your powerband is! I mean.. .it sounds like your putting down the engine because it doesn't produce its power at 1400rpms. Well.. with a diesel redline around 3-3400 rpms... that is about the equivalent to running a gas engine at 3-4,000rpms. oh yeah... when is the most power being produced in a stock V8 gas engine? Thats right... between 3-4,000rpms. a lot less torque than other companies gassers? man you are so full of shit... comparing small block V8s, which is what the 5.7 is. Dodge hemmi 5.7L V8 - 345HP/375ftlb Ford, 5.4L V8 - 260hp/350ftlb Chevy 6.0L V8 - 300HP/360ftlb GMC 6.0L V8 - 300HP/(Assuming 360ftlb, same as chevy) Hmm... looking at that... I'de say the hemi outpowers them all. hmmm.... Comparing a gas engine to a diesel? well.. thats stupid. yeah.. the diesel will produce more torque than a gas engine. Of course, not everyone needs a diesel, so the 5.7L Hemmi is a good thing. BTW - It sounds like your a Ford biggot... so... I'll have you know. Dodge's new diesel puts out 305HP/555ftlb, up.. thats basically equal to a Ford's diesel. Maybe a little better. Last edited by Travis Waldher; 09-29-2002 at 10:08 AM. |

I stand corrected, if somewhat misunderstood. I saw that as soon as I wrote that, that I would come across as a "ford biggot" Fact is right now all three companies are building good trucks that will undoubtedly get the job done. When I made the comparison to gas engines from other companies what I had in mind were the Ford V-10 and GM 8.1L since thats the competion in the HD truck market. My mistake, comparing apples to oranges though since the dodge is small block, as you pointed out.
Back on topic...When is the Hemi going to be available in the Dodge? I went looking at them yesterday and every single HD I saw was a Cummins.

Man I wish all the HD's I saw were Cummins, all I've seen has been Hemi's. Great gas engine I think its the best one out there(just by the number's) they havent proven themselvs yet. Sure as hell beats the old 5.9L.

Ford: SAE Net Horsepower 260 @ 4500 SAE Net Torque (lb ft) 350 @ 2500 Dodge: SAE Net Horsepower 345 bhp@ 5400 SAE Net Torque (lb ft) 375 lb.-ft.@ 4200 Unfortunately, this doesn't help us any because i have no idea what numbers the Hemi puts out at 2500rpm, or what the Triton puts out at 4200rpm. (if you want to compare torque anyway) Maybe somebody could get some solid figures on tow ratings? You talk about the Ford 5.4L blowing the new Hemi away with e-prom upgrades and whatnot. Remember something. This is the first year of it's introduction which means there is a shitload of room for improvement in the future. Out of all the literature i've read on the new Hemi, it is severely de-tuned. You can thank the beancounters for that. You talk like the Ford Triton 5.4L is hand built by God or something... Yeah, it's a good engine..but give Chrysler some friggin credit for stepping out ahead of GM and Ford for once, they deserve it. Last edited by intense4x4; 10-01-2002 at 03:58 AM. |

GM 5.3/6.0 are based off the new SMALL BLOCK.. The 8.1, now THAT's the big block. LS1 guys are using the 6.0 block in the F-bodies once they get to the HP level where they need an iron block.

HP is the rate at which torque is produced. Hence the formula for HP, HP=(Torque*RPM)/5250. It's the combination of Torque and RPM that get you up the hill quicker, and that's what HP is a measurement of. |

Tsar Nicholas II
Nicholas II (1868-1918), who makes a brief appearance in Yakov's dream near the end of this novel, was the last tsar of Russia (the word is also translated as "czar"). He was driven from the throne and executed shortly after the events of The Fixer take place. To a large extent, it was Nicholas's arrogance and foolishness that brought about the Communist Revolution in Russia, although it is also likely that the country's weak economy would have crumbled under even the most competent monarch. Nicholas was a descendant of the Romanov dynasty, whose rule reached back to 1547, when the grand duke of Muscovy, Ivan IV (1530-1584), had himself crowned czar (the Russian word for "caesar"). His grand nephew, Ivan VI (1740-1764), was the first tsar with the Romanov name, a name that was passed down to Russian rulers until Nicholas was deposed. Nicholas himself became...

If you want to keep the crying baby idea feel free to expand the concept or if you want to try something different I'm good with that too! I don't mind a cartoony feel to this so long as it still looks professional
Don't need black background options - plain white background works better
We're doing a redesign (and a refocus) of our ilostmystuff.com website and would like a new logo to go with it.
We're going to be offering people the opportunity to register their details with us and get a unique id that they can put on anything and everything they own that might get lost so if people find the item and key in the id to our system they can contact the users to arrange pickup.
- main focus to be on the text - i Lost My Stuff
- I like the small i and the rest of the words in caps but if you come up with something else show me
- blue - how else do you feel when you lose something (red rage doesn't work!)
- if you like the crying baby idea work it out a little
- cartoony is ok but it's got to look professional too
- don't want too many colours, main colours will be be blue hues

" Excelente hostel e excelente Staff. Me ajudaram muito com informações preciosas sobre a cidade e passeios. Cheguei de madrugada e fui muito bem atendido. Apesar de não estar localizado perto do Oasis, isso não é um problema e o fato de estar localizado ao lado do terminal da Cruz Del Sur foi uma grande vantagem para mim. O preço foi excelente, o melhor que eu paguei por toda a minha viagem pela Bolívia, Chile e Peru. Eu recomendo e me hospedaria novamente neste hostel. "

The purpose of this clinical investigation was to determine the safety and effectiveness of the SciBase III device (Test) designed to help distinguish between malignant melanoma and benign lesions, using electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) relative to the histological gold standard (Reference).
The purpose of the study is to collect data to support a Pre-market Application(PMA) to obtain Food and Drug Administration(FDA) approval to market the SciBase III Electrical Impedance Spectrometer.
Condition | Intervention |
Malignant Melanoma |
Device: SciBase III Electrical Impedance Spectrometer |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor) Primary Purpose: Diagnostic |
Official Title: | SciBase International Melanoma Pivotal Study |
- SciBase Sensitivity and Specificity [ Time Frame: Post data lock ]
This study has two co-primary objectives, aiming to demonstrate the accuracy of SciBase device:
- Sensitivity ≥ 0.90 to detect Melanoma
- Sensitivity - (1-Specificity) > 0.00
Sensitivity is the proportion of correctly identified cases of Melanoma. Specificity is the proportion of correctly identified cases of non-melanoma.
- Sensitivity and Specificity [ Time Frame: Post data lock ]
Secondary confirmatory objective included two co-secondary endpoints that were defined similarly to the co-primary endpoints, but used the Secondary definition of dichotomous reference diagnosis.
Positive Reference Diagnosis: Melanoma, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Basal Cell Carcinoma, Severe Dysplastic Nevus (High grade dysplasia)
Negative Reference Diagnosis: All other skin lesions.
Enrollment: | 1951 |
Study Start Date: | April 2010 |
Study Completion Date: | October 2011 |
Primary Completion Date: | September 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
SciBase III
Subjects with suspected malignant melanoma or lesions designated for total excision were included into the study. To ensure no selection bias, all eligible lesions from a subject were included into the study. All study eligible skin lesion(s) were examined with the investigational device, photographed and removed by an excisional biopsy.
Device: SciBase III Electrical Impedance Spectrometer
SciBase III Electrical Impedance Spectrometer is based on Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). EIS is a measure of the overall resistance within a skin tissue, at alternating currents of various frequencies. Enrolled subject will undergo skin measurements with SciBase III Electrical Impedance Spectrometer. The relevant skin lesion(s) will be excised and diagnosed as per routine treatment.

Freedom wars or power plays?
Tony Abbott's address to the Institute of Public Affairs this week, Freedom Wars, has two parts.
The first is a cliché-ridden rant on "the current government's attempts to bully critics into silence". Here Abbott speaks of a government that "simply howls down its critics", or that launches a "jihad against mining magnates for daring to question the government's investment-sapping mining tax".
He laments that the Prime Minister had "a screaming match" with former News Ltd boss John Hartigan (because screaming is what women do when they are put on the spot by more powerful men).
Through this combination of jihad and howling, the Labor government's terrible campaign of "state-sponsored bullying" is said to have reduced the most powerful in the land to a cowering muteness.
The second part of Abbott's address discusses the use of the Racial Discrimination Act by what he calls the "thought police" to silence even further such distinguished and brave voices of democracy as that of Alan Jones or of Andrew Bolt. Abbott here draws his little sword and like a faux-Voltaire in the service of free speech, prepares to "defend to the death your right to say it".
But Abbott's address to the IPA is not primarily about the freedom to speak. His concern is about where the power lies in our society, and how to make sure that those who exercise power are not impaired in their sovereign enjoyment of it, an enjoyment that includes the freedom to discriminate if they wish. Accordingly, my response to Abbott's address is made not on the grounds of free speech, but in defence of the principle of anti-discrimination and more particularly, of the Racial Discrimination Act (RDA).
Abbott's speech provided a standard recital of the joys of free speech with which no one could disagree ("essential foundation of democracy", "free from fear of a knock on the door in the middle of the night"), with a splash of ersatz Voltaire thrown in for good measure.
Abbott then took specific aim at Section 18C of the RDA, naming it as one of the two major "threats to free speech in Australia" (the other being the government's "bullying" of its critics).
To make his argument about free speech, however, Abbott misinterprets both Section 18C and the RDA more broadly. Sections 18B-18F (Part IIA) were introduced into the RDA by the Racial Hatred Act of 1995. Section 18C provides,
(1) It is unlawful for a person to do an act, otherwise than in private, if:
(a) the act is reasonably likely, in all the circumstances, to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate another person or a group of people;
and (b) the act is done because of the race, colour or national or ethnic origin of the other person or of some or all of the people in the group.
Flying in the face of the words of the Act, Abbott asserted in his address that Section 18C "prohibits statements that 'offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate' another person or a group of people on grounds of race or ethnicity".
The Section simply does not do this.
First, 18C does not prohibit, instead, it renders unlawful certain acts. Moreover, as (then) Justice French acknowledged in the Federal Court case of Bropho, "the provisions of Pt IIA of the Act are '… set in a framework of conciliation in cognate legislation'."
Like other sections of the RDA, then, Section 18C is not a criminal prohibition but a civil injunction. Second, Section 18C does not target statements. Rather, it targets "an act, otherwise than in private". That is, the Section is not specifically directed at speech or expression, but at acts whatever form they might take, that is, if they do certain things or work in certain ways.
This matters.
This means that Section 18C is primarily a measure against discrimination – not surprisingly, given that it is part of an Act that is directed against discrimination. Regardless of the clear words of this Section, and of the Act in which it is placed, Abbott treats Section 18C as if it were a stand-alone piece of legislation dedicated to destroying freedom of speech in Australia, along with its muzzled proponents.
Abbott spoke of the "Orwellian overtones" of Section 18C, and asserted that "the test of acceptable behaviour" in the Act is "a 'hurt feelings' test". And yet, not a single one of the myriad cases that concern Section 18C (or the RDA more broadly) have made hurt feelings the test of unlawfulness.
I would be remiss if I did not mention that in this misrepresentation of the Act and of Section 18C, Abbott is far from alone. In his corner are figures as diverse as Julian Assange, the ABC's Jonathon Holmes, and the IPA's Chris Berg.
My understanding is that all of these men assert that the RDA targets speech, and moreover speech that is merely offensive. On the apparent principle that liberalism requires one to defend discriminatory speech, writes drawn from across the left-right spectrum and from the top on down to Michael Brull have written "in defence of Bolt's right to be disgusting".
Now, if the RDA did in fact make hurt feelings or offense into the test of unlawfulness, I would join this silenced brotherhood, unsheath my own sword and in all high pomposity, defend to the death your right to say it.
But it doesn't.
Nor do the tribunals and courts that interpret the Act use any such hurt feelings test. The RDA has no interest in whether Bolt is disgusting. It does have an interest in whether he practises discrimination.
The context of the RDA makes clear that the test is one of discrimination: something accomplished by acts that 'offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate' in a discriminatory manner.
Section 9 of the RDA sets out what discrimination means: "any act involving a distinction, exclusion, restriction or preference based on race, colour, descent or national or ethnic origin which has the purpose or effect of nullifying or impairing the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of any human right or fundamental freedom in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life".
Whatever has that purpose or effect on equal standing, is discrimination – whether in deed or in word. Like other anti-discrimination acts the RDA, for the most part, makes discrimination unlawful in specified contexts or circumstances covered by the Act (eg work, education, goods and services, clubs, etc.). What makes Section 18C different from the rest of the Act is not that it covers speech rather than something else.
Indeed, other sections of the RDA also cover speech and expression. Discrimination and discriminatory harassment operate through words more often than not. The primary distinctiveness of Section 18C is that it operates 'at large', in the sense that the conduct on which it focuses is unlawful wherever it occurs (otherwise than in private). The central question in considering Section 18C is not how to protect freedom of speech, but how to protect "the recognition, enjoyment or exercise, on an equal footing, of any human right or fundamental freedom in the political, economic, social, cultural or any other field of public life".
In this respect, Abbott is fighting the same contest over equal standing as did John Howard.
In an address to the Liberal Party Convention in September 1996, entitled "We will always listen to voices of reason", Howard explained that the 1996 election campaign had been fought and won on questions of free speech: "One of the great changes that has come over Australia in the past six months is that people do feel able to speak a little more freely and a little more openly about what they feel. In a sense the pall of censorship on certain issues has been lifted".
Howard was speaking in the wake of the election of Pauline Hanson, and of her inaugural speech in parliament. The 'certain issues' on which the pall of censorship had been lifted were issues of racial equality. People were again 'free' to impair the equal enjoyment of civil standing on the basis of race.
What is remarkable about both Howard's address in 1996 and that of his eager pupil Abbott in 2012 is that neither was primarily about free speech. The right of free speech was not under siege from jihads or screaming matches in 1996 and it is not now.
Abbott's address argues for the sovereignty of the powerful, using the language of free speech to buttress the freedom to discriminate on racial grounds. It is little more than discrimination dressed up and gone to town.

Body Ripple
OK, I am trying my hand at doing body work and my first attempt did not turn out as planned.
I have a chopped 1929 Model A and I have a lot of cleanup work to do where the top was welded back on and where the original open top was filled. I did some grinding this last weekend and got the really high spots knocked down. Then I used some bondo to fill the low spots and holes. Then I sanded, and sanded, and sanded. After many hours of sanding and a really sore shoulder, I have a smooth finish however, it is rippled (mostly the spots with bondo look lower than the pure metal spots. What can I do about this? Thanks
Sponsored Links | |||
Don't try to fill individual low spots like whiskey dents and such. Prepare the top for filler and cover the entire top with a generous coat of your favorite waterproof body filler. Then grind the whole lid down to a smooth, shot a mist tell-tale paint coat on it, block it with a long board and see how it looks.
If done right, there will be nothing more than priming and painting to do. If you try to fill indicidual dings, dents and so on you'll be forever doing it and still end up with a rippled lid or whatever. |
Sounds like a good candidate for polyester primer to me.
Like Evercoat Slick Sand or Featherfill G2. Then use a long board with 180 dry and sand in criss-cross motions. If you start to sand through, it's time for another coat. But you may not, as this stuff sprays on pretty thick. Guide coats can help but I have done it perfectly without. The 3M dry guide coat is the way to go tho if you are going to use it. |
A cheap can of spray-bomb is a much cheaper way to guide-coat. Just dust a mist coat of black over the panel. I've used the 3M dry guide-coat, it's not bad. The only advantage I could find with it, was if you've got pin-holes, they show right up. Other than that I found the stuff to be messy. If you do use the dry, I suggest scuffing over the panel quickly with something, it seems to go on better on a scratched surface. Good luck with it!

a park mum?
8 comments:
The beauty of living by the beach Hayley :)
Every Friday we have Amalia's swimming lessons at South Cronulla complex. Most summer days we then stay and play at the beach, its generally really calm, perfect for little kids to play along the waters edge. Through winter though, we walk a short distance along The Esplanade, grab morning tea at our fav cafe Ally Break, and then on to the play equipment in North Cronulla Park - It is by far the best park in Cronulla, if not the Shire, and perfect for little people too, my 2 year old has taught himself how to climb the equipment and go backwards down the slide (there are 4 slides to choose from) - you guys should take a trip down here one day - we are generally there every Friday :)No, I am not. I think once my youngest is a little older, I will be happier at the park (she is 18 months at the moment). But we also have to travel a fair distance to get to decent parks - ie we have to drive. Kind of defeats the purpose of going to the park....
But yes, the play equipment at North Cronulla is great!! Love Ally Break too.... of course that is one of the places we have to drive to get to...Confession - I am not a park mum. We usually go at least once a week and there are beautiful parks near us. But I am lazy and a cafe-bookstore mum all the way! Fortunately the Baby Space toddler enjoys cafes and having a babycino and a cookie 'with dots' (smarties). Having said that, tomorrow we're going to the park to do some activities with the Big Yellow Bus. Have you heard of it? It travels around to different parks in Sydney providing activities for toddlers and preschoolers...good fun.
ReplyDelete- Jo StewartJune 30, 2010 at 11:33 PM
No but I am a park Aunt !!! I love taking my nephews and niece to the park. We have a ball.
Thanks for your beautiful blog. I visit every day and I just adore your photos. You really are an amazing woman and mother.

Falling Victim to "Sponsored Stories"
If you were one of the unfortunate many to participate in the Facebook IPO, here is your chance to (partially) recoup your loss. This week, Facebook agreed to a revised class-action settlement of $10 per "victim" of their sponsored stories. The original law suit claimed that Facebook neither sufficiently informed users of their participation in sponsored stories nor gave them the ability to opt out of it.
So who are these "victims?" Well, they come from a pool of users that at one time clicked the "Like" button for a product or a service with a Facebook page. Afterwards, Facebook created "sponsored stories" on the news feeds of that user's friends, showing that the user "liked" the page. Of course, the retailer paid a marginal fee to make these stories appear. In the end, over 125 million Facebook users fell "victim" to the scheme.
If this does not sound like a gross invasion of privacy to you, you're probably not alone. Most internet users understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Instead, there is an unspoken agreement between services like Google or Facebook and their users. The user receives free access to the online applications and search services. In exchange, the user allows these companies to access its browsing and internet habits, in order to generate revenues.
This would seem to be the case with sponsored stories as well. The irony, however, is that when a user "likes" something on Facebook, that story appears on the news feeds of friends anyway. The user is already comfortable with that information being disseminated. In fact, it is likely that the user "likes" the page so that other people know what they are interested in. So why does it violate the user's privacy when Facebook re-shares the "like" to those same friends?
The likely explanation is that this lawsuit did not evolve from a group of frustrated users, embarrassed about the over-sharing of their "likes." Instead, the class-action suit was likely initiated by attorneys and non-profit organizations who seek to gain the most from a settlement. For example, in the original settlement agreement, attorneys and charities were awarded $10 million each, paling the amount awarded to those who suffered the harm.
In the revised settlement agreement, the pot of $20 million will be split amongst attorneys, charities, and affected users. The $10 award per victim is the result is based on an estimated number of users who will go through the trouble to fill out the paperwork. In fact, if every affected user applied for their share of the settlement, it would be less than $0.02 a person. In that case, you may want to start looking elsewhere to recoup your IPO investment.

Will P. says:
I agree Sam that it does seem a little unfair for someone to "like" something, which they would presumably do in order to show others that they like it, and then be upset when Facebook tells people that they like it. It just seems like a nonsense case. Maybe if it were actually litigated it could set some helpful precedent in the event that personal data was actually misused, but I guess we won't even get that.
Zachary Loney says:
Using a print example to illustrate the process:
Imagine a subscriber to a free magazine writes in a letter to the editor, explaining how much they love the product that was advertised in the magazine. The magazine prints the letter in their "Letters to the Editor" section, which seems both legally and morally right. Next, the magazine takes the letter and includes it in an advertisement that it sells to the maker of the beloved product. The advertisement runs in the magazine with a caption "X from Alberque loves this product!".Legality aside, it seems imprudent to use these unsolicited testimonials without permission, even if they aren't the true customers. If the advertisers are the end consumer and the intermediate users are merely the product being sold, it might be better to reconsider that product in terms of an investment. This seems like a short term gain at the expense of a long term detriment. While many believe that Facebook's dominance in the market will remain unchallenged, there is always reason to worry about a death of a thousand cuts.
As a side note, many Facebook pages require "liking" the page to enter promotional giveaways, etc. and the "likes" don't necessarily carry the same endorsement that is implied by these advertisements. I'm not sure if this runs afoul of state or federal advertising misrepresentation laws, but I know several users which use secondary accounts solely to avoid having their "likes" linked back to their actual account. It would be interesting to see if Facebook's strategy is driving users to fake accounts and if these false market segments are degrading the value of Facebook ads in general.

Worth noting that the court has not yet approved the proposed settlement, although nothing suggests to me that it won't be. I want my two cents/ten dollars!

Merlucciidae are a family of cod-like fish, including most hakes.[1] They are native to cold water in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and typically found at depths greater than 50 metres (160 ft) in subtropical, temperate, sub-Arctic or sub-Antarctic regions.
The best known species are in the genera Macruronus and Merluccius. These are large, up to 1.55 m (5 ft 1 in) in length (though most only reach about half that length), predatory fish inhabiting the waters of the continental shelf and upper continental slope, where they feed on small fish such as lanternfishes. Several species are important commercial fish, for example the blue grenadier (Macruronus novaezelandiae) that is fished in the southwest Pacific and the North Pacific hake (Merluccius productus) that is fished off western North America.

We're hearing all kinds of scary rumors today over at Indy Undercover including Peterson is paying people $20 to rent their front yards for his yard signs! We also hear that his campaigners get $10/hour to pretend they are Peterson's grass roots support.
Today a new website popped up to bring more attention to Monroe Gray's ethics demanding an invetigation. Like Peterson, Monroe was too stupid to buy his own name as a domain name. What kind of politician lets that happen?

Political yard signs should just be illegal. They are often times placed illegally in the right-of-way, hard to tell if government employees are putting them up on the public dime, and they are usually left up from at least a month after the election. Plus, people should vote with their convictions, not who their neighbor is voting for.
