Even reviewers will agree that there are inherent problems with reviewing works of art (such as heavy metal albums). First, there's such a thing as "slow growers," albums that are good, but that take a while for listeners to understand. The more you listen to it, the more awesome you realize it is. It's always hard to admit when this happens, because it means your initial impression was off the mark.
But in order to "stay relevant" in the contemporary media landscape, you've got to be talking about what's current. There aren't enough people who want to read a review of an album that came out two or three years ago. And yet sometimes it takes that long to understand and appreciate an album, to "incorporate" an album. I like this term "incorporate" because it means to take into the body. A great album becomes a part of you; it is incorporated into your view of the world. This isn't something that necessarily happens overnight. This is especially true of lyrical content, which often requires more reflection than the immediate auditory response to the music.
Therefore, reviewing is really more of a recording of one's impressions of a cultural work of art (such as a heavy metal album). These impressions can be useful, but they're really only the first stages in working out how that album is going to become a part of you. So, for me, reviews on this site will really be more about sharing my initial impressions. I won't give albums a score or a rank. Often, I will probably not even discuss them holistically, but rather pick out one or two elements that have me thinking. So, while I often have strong opinions, they are based on this early exposure to the music and should not be seen as final judgments. That's why blogs are great: you get to see the thinking process as it occurs.

Nu Balearic
so as usual ilx have been way ahead of the game for some time (see: http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?action=showall&boardid=41&threadid=58823), but I've not seen a thread about this on DiS before, so what are people on heres opinions / fave jams? Its a pretty damn smooth genre.
I love Balaeric but it's one of those genres I feel totally out of my depth in. Like on DJ History forum you see all these 30 and 40 somethings who've been crate digging for years and know so much, kinda makes me embarrassed to share what I enjoy.
Anyway. I'll pretty much check out everything released on Mindless Boogie, Eskimo, Perm Vac. Favourite artists for me, probably Peter Visti....and it's great to see Aeroplane kind of crossing over and appealing to indie types. I don't know what happened to Coyote either, they released some brilliant stuff a while ago but kind of disappeared. Al Usher I also like some of his work. And of course when Todd Terje lays down some smooth jams like Earth, Wind and Fire edits and Karou Inoue(sp?)
There's a really good compilation called Nu Balaeric mixed by Fred Deakin, 2 CD's full of some really good stuff.
I'll straight up admit, to use the popular internet phrase, to being 'a total n00b'
in the grand scheme of things when it comes to this stuff. Like you say, I read through other forums and folks have been crate digging for pure time. I have that nu balearic comp, and a couple of other bits and bobs. I'm gonna check out some of the stuff you mentioned that I don't know pronto too.
Its weird how much the weather makes you relate to it differently too. Like when I first started hearing it I couldn't get down with it whatsoever. Then listening to it in victoria park, in the sunshine, it was like, "ahhhh...I get it now". Which obviously sounds overly simplistic, but..y'know what I mean
I totally know what you mean about the weather affecting listening habits
Groovypanda knows the score. And I heartily concur with the excellent song choices.
Woolfy vs Projections - The Astral Projections Of Starlight is probably my favourite album of the year.
I'll get hold of a copy
Missed this yesterday
But I've been listening to loads of this stuff over the last couple of years.
All the Todd Terje/Tangoterje edits are worth checking out
Band wise I've been enjoying Studio (and their remixes), A Mountain Of One, Aeroplane, Smith & Mudd, Air France, Low Motion Disco, Sorcerer, Lindstrom & Prins Thomas, Quiet Village etc
As for particular tracks then these are some of my favourites:
Like An Eagle - Dennis Parker
Dolly - Peter Visti
Out There - Studio
Love Love Love (Aeroplane Remix) - Low Motion Disco
Things Are Gonna Get Easier - Low Motion Disco
Promises (Reverso 68 Remix) - Badly Drawn Boy
Roscoe (Beyond The Wizards Sleeve Remix) - Midlake
Paul Simon - Diamond Dub (Todd Terje Re-edit)
Dubby Games - Business Man
Too Hard (Aeroplane Mix) - Coyote
Caramellas - Aeroplane
White Diamond - Hatchback
Ride - A Mountain Of One
Ride Me High (Todd Terje Re-edit) - JJ Cale
Lordag (Ambient Version) - Blackbelt Andersen
Lindstrom and Air France
have been my main ones of this year, but I'm well aware that I don't know enough at the moment and need to do my research. Thanks for the suggestions, time to do some digging into the stuff I don't know
To be fair I've had that ILX thread bookmarked for the last 15 months
and have discovered loads of great music through it.
There's also been some links to great mixes posted on it but I imagine a lot of them will have expired now. Worth trying to track down the recent Aeroplane Resident Advisor mix as well as their Flying mix (should be able to find it if you google it) and there are some good mixes available free from this site:
yeah as with most ILX threads, I spend ages reading them
but rarely get round to fully investigating what I don't know about. Dabbling in everything a bit = vague wide knowledge. Thanks for the link, I'll get on that later + find the RA mix. Actually its the RA xmas party on saturday, can't wait for that & seeing what the MAtter soundsystem is like
I don't have much of a clue about new stuff
or that much old stuff for that matter...
It's more my step bro's kinda thing as he has been collecting dance music and all sorts of stuff like that since the early 80s. He puts soem tracks and mixes up here sometimes.
thanks james
I'll look at that when I'm not in the office. Your bro's got original nu balearic!
I liek a bit of Air France and Studio I guess they could be kinda nu-balearic.
I'm pretty sure you just mix any kind of vaugly mellow stuff together to make a valearic mix heheh. Aslong as it sounds good and a bit sunny and mayeb the odd house beats your off!
I'm not really sure what it is.
Sound like a pretty 'meh' genre though. I do however quite like the Quiet Village album, even if Radioslave's stuff is miles better.
Cosmic Balearic Beats Vol.2
Looks decent.
Music Go Music
do they count? I think their sound stretches between italo disco and balaeric, by way of Abba, quite nicely.
so it does!
So, is nu-balearic the same as cosmic disco....?
I used to get confused by genres when all I listened to was sad men with guitars... Getting into music that makes me dance in the last 3 or 4 years has only served to confuse me further.
Anyway, on a 'whateverthismaybecalledtoday' tip, all of the Todd Terje remixes/edits (50 or so) are available here at 320kbps (http://dizandat.blogspot.com/2009/06/todd-terje-remix-and-re-edit.html)
Also, if groovypanda is still about, just wanted to say thanks for that Disco at the End of The Universe mix you stuck up a while ago. Easily the mix I've listened to most this year. It introduced me to some cracking stuff, not least It's A Fine Line - Women. Was quite surprised when I found out Ivan Smagghe was involved with that. Anyway, thanks muchly!
Sure I'd read recently that
Lindstrom, Aeroplane and similar were being classed as cosmic, and it was written as if it was a new term... What you say does ring some bells from parts of 'Last Night a DJ Saved My Life' though.
Anyway... I like it, regardless of the name.

Publisher's Synopsis:
It's that wonderful time of year again—the Yuletide Ice Cube Fair! It's a time of festivity and fun as Veggies gather to eat snow cones, slurp slushies, and ice skate on the frozen pond. But the greatest part of all is the Ice Cube Carving Contest! The Veggies are trying to outdo each other in an effort to win the grand prize. But the smallest of all these ice entries is truly the most grand—a carving done by Junior Asparagus. It is a tiny stable with a shepherd on one knee. Young readers discover that it's not what's biggest or best that's most important on Christmas—it's Jesus.
MrsK's Review:
It's that time of year...Christmas time will once again bring us Heaven's first and everlasting Christmas gift. For one quick moment in time each year children will gather with family and friends to experience God's love. Even those delightfully fun characters from Veggie Tales will celebrate what Christmas means to them.
"The little town was humming. There were children everywhere."
Welcome to the Yuletide Ice Cube Fair! Where everyone can skate on ponds of root beer, where you can "slip and slide" on burlap sacks, and you can sculpt an ice block into what Christmas means to you. What would you carve?
Not only will these color snapping illustrations bring forth the sparkle of the season, but the moments of discussing and judging the ice sculptures is such fun. Our little miss liked the cake and the French Peas design. We delighted in the littlest entry and imagined the lights glowing through the glorious trumpets.
Sharing in the true joy of the season, we anticipate this little book will bring precious memories in continued reading. We are both excited about sharing this tale with all the cousins. I can't wait for their own designs as they create Christmas ice sculpture pictures for their parents!
"May glory be given to God in the highest Heaven!"
Luke 2:14
For this Christmas, spend some fun with this book...
So much fun to read, to discuss, to re-read!

The year 2013 is already shaping up to be a busy year, with several issues rooted in the past expected to come to fruition. While the year ahead will no doubt unleash its own bounty of surprises, here are some issues we can all count on happening in the months ahead.
Glendale police officers' lawsuit to move forward
The case of four current and one former Armenian American Glendale police officers suing the city for alleged discrimination and harassment is expected to move to trial in 2013.
This year, a federal judge refused to throw out claims against the city made by police Officers Vahak Mardikian, Robert Parseghian, John Balian, Tigran Topadzhikyan and former Officer Benny Simonzad.
A settlement conference is scheduled for Feb. 1, as well as a jury trial date for March 23, according to U.S. District Court records.
The officers filed the federal lawsuit in 2010 against the city and Police Department alleging years of discrimination, retaliation and harassment because they're Armenian.

I have recently been attacked by Japanese pop-up ad. About two weeks ago, none of the popular spyware killers worked. Finally, a full scan with Norton Security (trial version) seemed to contained it. Then, about 10 days later, the spyware returned. Nothing seemed to be able to contain it, including Norton and Malwarebytes. I followed suggestions I found on the Internet, and included the URL in "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts" The pop-up still comes up, but with an open (blank) window. If I close the window, then it keeps coming up. Finally, I minimize the blank window, then it comes up only twice, with two button taking up space in my task bar. I checked the task manager, and there are two jobs labeled "Microsoft (R) html Application host". Disconnecting network, the application still runs. Does this give enough hint as to how this particular pop-up works, and how to kill it once and for all?
I called help line of my security program, and they liked to talk you into a three-year maintenance program for hundreds. No thanks.
Please help. Thank you!

The often maligned Fending Bending documentary is finally online and well worth a look. It actually holds up pretty well and is a wonderful snapshot of 80's Auckland. There are some gruesome haircuts but the footage of Waikaraka Park is fantastic. Whether or not it did the sport any favours is beside the point now, as a time capsule of Stockcar racing it is priceless. The link to view 3 clips from the programme is HERE.

Why does everything that we grill outdoors just seem to taste better?
Is it the slight char? Is it the smoke that whirls around the meat or veggies that are searing away? Or is it the fact that the person turning the meat most likely was enjoying a cold beer while manning his/her post? Perhaps some of that beer accidentally became a basting sauce! Or is it a combination of all of the above?! I'm going with 'all of the above'!
What comes to your mind when you think grill/BBQ? Steak, ribs, burgers? Yes to all of the above. But for me it's sausage. Maybe it's the German in me. Sure, I love a good juicy, rare steak, or drippy, sticky ribs, or a loaded cheese burger. But there is something so appealing about a perfectly spiced sausage, grill marks clear and defined, just waiting to be cut into. That distinct 'cracking' sound as the skin breaks open, and the juicy meat is just waiting to be enjoyed. Add some mustard, and this girl is all set.
I've partnered with duBreton to create a perfect meal showcasing their Rustic Pork Toulouse Sausages. I love a good Toulouse sausage. This style of sausage finds its origin in France. It is juicy, and perfectly balanced in flavours, with spices like nutmeg used to bring out the quality of the meat. Toulouse sausages are integral to a good French Cassoulet (to me one of the best winter slow living meals ever!) Seeing that we're welcoming summer right now, I thought of another way to use these lovely sausages. Keeping up the international flavour of both this sausage, my German background, and the fact that we all love to explore cuisines, even if we aren't going to leave our backyards, may I present an Alsatian twist to a classic potato salad?! You guys are going to love this one: Alsatian Grilled Sausage and Potato Salad with Sauerkraut.
If you ever get to visit Alsace (that little corner of the world between France and Germany) you will quickly realize that Choucroute Garni is practically their signature dish. Heaps of juniper berry and wine-braised sauerkraut is surrounded by sausages, pork belly, bacon, smoked pork hocks and chops, and boiled potatoes. Just add a variety of mustards, and the crowd can't wait to dig into this impressive dish. I make it every year, and Jim looks so forward to it. So, I thought, why not use this as an inspiration for an easy, fun to throw together summer main salad?
The main ingredients are all accounted for: high quality gluten-free sausage (no meat scraps, by-products, or grain fillers in these duBreton babies, just 100% pork shoulder and spices!) lovely yellow-fleshed baby potatoes, and good quality sauerkraut. Did you know that the best and healthiest sauerkraut, besides the kind you make yourself, should be found in the chilled deli section of your grocery store? The live cultures are more potent, making the probiotic effects of sauerkraut more effective. Check out your local grocery store next time and you may be surprised to find a fabulous selection.
To make this a salad, we'll need a dressing, right? So, a lovely light dijon mustard vinaigrette is the best way to go. It will marry everything together, absorbing into the tender flesh of the potatoes, without competing with the sausage or the 'kraut. And for some visual interest, lets add some red onion, sliced radishes, and bright greens like arugula or even hand torn mizuna, which has a slight mustardy flavour.
This main meal salad takes two steps. But you can actually do them in stages, so that it isn't one long process. You see, in order to get the perfect sausage: crisp and perfectly grilled on the outside, but still juicy and tender on the inside, I like to simmer sausages first. This way the meat is already perfectly cooked, and then a quick turn on a heated grill will turn that exterior into crispy golden perfection. It only takes a few minutes in simmering water to achieve cooked meat nirvana! I was so happy to see that the back of the duBreton package of sausages agrees with me:) Now, the artist in me wonders, should I slice them in half lengthwise before I grill them, or should I slice them into coins after grilling and resting? If I slice them first, then I can get a crisp and grilled interior, for more flavour! So that is what I opted for.
The potatoes will actually be prepared in a similar manner. Par boiling these little orbs will make sure that they are already tender before we skewer them up and add them to the grill. If we actually tried to cook potatoes from raw on the grill, the outsides would be dry and burnt before the flesh got nice and tender. But a quick swim in a simmering pot, we've eliminated any cause for worry or waiting!
So, both the sausages and the potatoes could be simmered and drained and cooled somewhat. And you can also prepare the sauerkraut ahead of time as well. Yes, sauerkraut needs some prep. Don't eat it straight out of the jar. That's just so wrong, at least to any self-respecting German! The brine can be very acidic and harsh, leaving the 'kraut rather sharp tasting. That's why some people just don't like it. They've never had it served properly! We always put it in a sieve and run water over it first. Once rinsed, just add it to a pot with some water and perhaps a splash of white wine, and some sliced onion if you want. Bring it up to a gentle simmer just to cook off any harshness. This can then be stored in a container till you are ready to compose the salad.
When ready, heat up the grill and grill off the meat, just to get the flavour of a good char on the outsides. At the same time, you will add the skewers of par-boiled baby potatoes next to the sausages, to get them grilled to crispy perfection. That's it!!
The rest is easy. A platter with greens is the bed for all that grilling goodness. Slice the potatoes in half (or thirds, depending on their size) and toss with some of the vinaigrette so that they can start soaking up that great flavour. Slice the sausages in half, just to make them manageable on your fork. Scatter some of the rinsed and simmered sauerkraut around the platter, add the sausages and potatoes, and sliced red onions, and finish with another round of the vinaigrette. Garnish with sliced radishes and fresh dill. Seriously, this is one summer dish that you will want to make all year round. It is a lightened version of Choucroute Garni, and totally less intimidating.
My feeling about using these wonderful sausages: We choose not to eat meat as often as we used to. I am really picky about where our meat comes from. When we do eat it, we want to know that the animals used had as happy a life as they could beforehand. I love that all of duBreton's Certified Humane and Organic pork is from pigs that are raised with a simple philosophy: Allow pigs to be pigs! They are raised in crate-free environments, with access to shelter, hay or straw beds, sufficient space and ability to engage in a natural behaviours. Their farms follow strict hygiene practices, eliminating the need for antibiotics for disease prevention. And if an animal does get sick, it is carefully treated, but not returned to the organic or Certified Humane supply. And the part that makes me really happy is knowing that these pigs are provided hay for foraging, toys and play areas and live in comfortable and happy living conditions with more space, less noise and better air quality. All this to say, when we know where our meat, or any food for that matter, comes from, we are eating and sourcing more responsibly. It's the least we can do. Thankfully, duBreton even includes a link to their best practices here.

Grilled Sausage and Potato Salad with Sauerkraut
This Alsatian inspired salad highlights quality Toulouse sausages and baby yellow fleshed potatoes, which are grilled to perfection, and then combined with tender and bright sauerkraut, greens and a mustard vinaigrette. It's a lightened up version of Choucroute Garni for the summertime
- 4 links of duBreton Toulouse sausages
- 16-20 baby yellow fleshed potatoes 4-5 per person, depending on size or make more and have leftovers!
- 1 1/4 cups packed sauerkraut rinsed and drained
- 2 tbsp white wine
- 1 tsp caraway seeds optional
- 2 large handfuls about 3 cups or arugula, baby gems or mizuna greens
- 2 tbsp thinly sliced red onion
- 3 medium radishes sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh dill torn
Vinaigrette (makes about 1 1/4 cups)
- 2 large shallots peeled and minced finely
- 1 tsp fresh thyme finely chopped
- 1 small garlic clove finely grated or minced
- 3 tbsp champagne vinegar can be substituted with white wine vinegar
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 1 tsp grainy mustard
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp water
- 1/2 tsp coarse salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
To prepare the Sausages
Place the sausages into a large pot or saucepan and fill it with enough cold water to just cover the sausages.
Put the pot on the stove, turn the heat to medium-high, and cook just until the water reaches a gentle simmer—that should take about 6-8 minutes.
Turn off the heat and get those sausages out of the pot. The sausages are now cooked through, tender, and ready for step two, grilling.
Let them cool down. Carefully, using a sharp, serrated knife, slice them in half lengthwise.
Set aside on a platter.
To prepare the Potatoes
Place the potatoes into a pot of well salted water. Cover. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium, keeping a rolling simmer. Leaving cover slightly ajar, cook for about 10 minutes, or until a knife just slides easily into a potato.
Remove from heat, drain and set aside to cool a bit.
When cooled down, using 4 metal skewers, skewer 4-5 onto each skewer, leaving enough room to grip the end with. Place these on the platter with the sausages.
To prepare the Sauerkraut
Place the rinsed and drained sauerkraut into a medium sized pot, with just enough water to cover it, and add the white wine.
Bring to a boil, cover and then reduce to a low simmer. Simmer for a good 5 or so minutes to soften the cabbage. Drain well and add caraway seed (if using) and fresh cracked pepper. Set aside to come to room temperature.
Grill the Sausage and Potatoes
Preheat your grill to 400F or medium high. (alternatively, you can use a grill pan on the stove top)
When heated through, place the sausages, interior side down onto the grill.
Place the skewers of potatoes along side the sausages.
Turn after 5 or so minutes, checking the underside carefully to ensure that the grill marks are there. The potato skins should be just starting to get burnished.
Once both sides of the sausages are grilled, removed from the heat.
Turn the potatoes till each side is browned and crisped. Remove from heat and add to the sausages.
Prepare the Salad
Cut the sausages in half (only if you want to, not necessary)
Cut the potatoes into thirds or 4 slices (if larger) and place in a bowl. Dress with about 3 tbsp of vinaigrette. Toss. This will give the potatoes a head start in soaking up the flavours of the vinaigrette.
Place the rinsed and dried greens you are using on a large platter. Scatter the sauerkraut over this.
Place the sausages over the sauerkraut, and then scatter the potatoes over everything.
Scatter red onion slices over these.
Dress everything with another 1/4-1/3 cup of the vinaigrette (as much as you see fit!)
Garnish with radishes and dill. Add another good grinding of fresh black pepper.
This would be amazing with a good chilled Hefeweizen or crisp Riesling!
Recipe Notes
The dressing can be made well in advance and stored in the fridge. Remove from the fridge a good half hour before you need it to allow the olive oil to get it up to room temperature. The dressing makes enough for several salads, or for any other salads you will be throwing together in the week. It will keep a good month in the fridge.

Aglou is in Anti Atlas, about 10 minutes west of Tiznit.
Aglou was initially a fishing village but is being developed as a tourist destination. It already is a favorite getaway place for people from Tiznit to escape its sometimes insane heat since a public bus goes there.
Get in[edit]
By public bus from Tiznit or with CTM on the route from Agadir to Sidi Ifni - it's not an official stop so you will have to ask the bus driver to drop you of.
Get around[edit]
All of Aglou can be walked within 15 minutes.
- the beach
- the formerly inhabited caves at the sea (you can still rent some for a night - though they are very basic.
- fishing
- hanging out at the beach
There are a few restaurants at the beach at one at the entrance of the village.
Several small hotels are available and locals rent out apartments - ask in cafes or restaurants for the latter.
There is also a pretty large camping ground at the entrance of the village.

Yes, opportunities are bountiful on Twitter as a job seeker even with each tweet limited to 140-characters. If used properly, there are plenty of opportunities for job searching, job advice, and job networking. However, if used without caution it can come back to haunt you for years to come.
RELATED: 4 Tips To Using Twitter As A Job Seeker
Here are some basic tips on what NOT to do on Twitter when you're a job seeker.
Negative communication.
Your followers on Twitter aren't limited to friends and family. Hiring managers and recruiters may also be screening you on the social media site to get an impression of whether you're a suitable candidate for the job, so keep communication clean and positive. Don't tweet anything you'd be embarrassed to say or present at the job interview.
Controversial topics.
You want to create dialogue, but don't be pigeonholed into one corner. This can often happen when tweeting about a controversial topic like politics or religion. For the sake of your professional audience, it's best to avoid the topics. Your views on the topics may be a red flag to employers and other professional contacts. One bad tweet or retweet of another person's post can isolate you from many contacts. While you may have not written the post – by sharing it, you are essentially saying you approve the message.
Too much personal information.
Sharing what you like and your activities may help others understand you as an individual and your personality, but set a limit to how much information you share. Too much personal information can hurt you as a job seeker. For example, you don't have to share on Twitter that you got drunk over the weekend and did some things you weren't supposed to do. Don't get into the details, just indicate you had an eventful weekend.
Old rants and other inappropriate tweets.
Employers screening job candidates aren't limiting it to LinkedIn and Facebook. They are now also looking at Twitter. Before applying to any jobs, go through your Twitter account and take down anything that's inappropriate for employers and recruiters to see. Old rants about your boss, job, etc. should not be there. Any tweet that can give the wrong message or impression should be removed (even tweets with poor spelling and grammar because that leaves an impression as well). If in doubt, change the privacy settings so you limit what others can see. For more tips, read: "How Employers Are Screening You Through Social Media."
All these rules on what not to do on Twitter may have you feeling restricted to communicate with your personal audience, but keep in mind that Twitter is no longer just for personal use. More employers are showing activity on Twitter and when you're job searching, this audience matters. One solution around this is to keep a separate Twitter account using a pseudonym. That account can be used to communicate to your personal contacts while you leave the one with your real name to communicate to the professional audience.

With transportation secured to Urima, Bu-Jinwen Nivaye, Avaniel Cerelion, and Jozan took a moment to examine their spoils of the last few days. Jozan was able to determine that a scabbard and cloak he had been carrying had magical properties. Although the scabbard remained a mystery, the cloak had protective properties. Surprisingly, Jozan noted that the sketches he had been holding of the runes of the Mouth of Chaos and Shalecore had very strong magic in them as well. With this knowledge, the group went out to sell their items, and Jozan left to bid Jang farewell.
Taking the camel to the Aperture of Dom's Dignity, Jozan asked his companion if he would make the journey with them somehow. The camel saw great danger in the path Jozan walked and questioned if the druid understood how much peril he might be in. Jozan agreed it would be a difficult road ahead across the ocean, but it was a journey he could not ignore. Jang then commented that he worried for the druid. The worry stemmed from the runes he had made and showed around to others. The camel felt uneasy, scared even, of the things every time he saw them. Jozan found this odd but put it aside to have a more happy departure with his friend. Jozan returned to his life of wandering. Jang returned home.
The group neglected to follow up on the clues given to them by the spy earlier in the day and settled on camping outside the city until their journey the next morning. After an uneventful night, the group made their way to the docks and were transported to the Steelsnout just off the port. There the group settled in and awaited the anchor to be raised and their journey to begin.

Magnum Temptation
Anybody else eaten one of these? Bloody lovely.
You're missing out.
It's basically a normal Magnum, with bits of chocolate brownie and white chocolate inside. Yum.
they were never 60p!
magnums were always a luxury item
i remember when the buses were 45p
i paid £1.60 to get home tonight
i say this with only 43% irony
it's tony bliar's fault
Were they ever 60p? I never remember then being cheaper then around £1 they were always the DEAR icecream you got if you had anything with a decimal in it £1.00 was the benchmark, held on the same pedalstool as the British Balldog or Oyster Shell from the icecream van
In my Tesco, they're on offer
Plus they come in individual boxes. Proper swish!
It looks good
but I love the white ones too much to dare tryeth it!
Im gonna buy another white one tommorow, I might buy a temptation instead and will report later with my review
Please do
I'm currently undecided as to whether they're better than the double chocolate variant. But the #1 spot's certainly up for grabs.

Save for the name, practically nothing people associate with the Christmas holidays has anything to do to at all with Jesus or Christianity: gifts, family & friends, feasts, decorated trees, candy cane, snowman, Santa Claus, log cakes, mistletoe etc. There actually are non-Christian Christmas celebrations (obviously...).

So here, enjoy this video by TheThinkingAtheist regarding Christmas traditions.

On a related note, I just want to say that atheists can celebrate whatever holiday, religious or not, if they want to. I'm just not celebrating the myths -- if anything, the secular aspects (friends, family and common values etc) are what's worth celebrating.

Birds are dinosaurs.

Mosasaurs are not dinosaurs, instead they're related to today's monitor lizards.

Plesiosaurs are not dinosaurs either.

Dinosaurs are not lizards.

As per my modus operandi, I shall go through this letter point by point. Let's begin.

Despite what he suggests, there is no conclusive definition of atheism.

Some, like neuroscientist Sam Harris, would agree with him. Others, however, define atheism as a belief, as philosopher Michael Martin has done in his book The Cambridge Companion To Atheism.

Oh? An atheist philosopher who doesn't notice the different subclasses of atheism and tars all atheists as strong atheists?

Well, according to the University of Cambridge's site, Investigating Atheism, which cites Dr Michael Martin's book referenced in the forum letter, it says:

Michael Martin, a leading atheist philosopher, defines atheism entirely in terms of belief. For him, negative atheism is simply the lack of theistic belief, positive atheism is the asserted disbelief in God, and agnosticism is the lack of either belief or disbelief in God. This suggests that negative atheism, the minimal position that all atheists share, divides neatly into agnosticism and positive atheism.

So, no. Atheism is acknowledged to be, at minimum, referring to the "lack of theistic belief". And the assertion of the claim contrary to theism is known as strong atheism or positive atheism.

Seems like we're off to a bad start.

Despite the lack of a conclusive definition, the more commonly accepted definition is the one used by Pastor Lawrence Khong ("'I told the minister to send me to jail'"; Sept 7), namely, that atheism is a belief system.

Even disregarding the confusion between atheism and strong atheism, a single belief is NOT a belief system. This is just wrong. Period.

There are cogent reasons why atheism should be treated as such.

Treat atheism as a belief system even though it isn't? This should be interesting. Go on.

First, as a society, we need to be open about what we believe in and why we believe it, rather than hide behind labels.

Firstly, "atheism" and "atheist" are accurate labels to describe someone who doesn't hold theistic beliefs. It is open and honest to state so.

Secondly, hide what? Oh, he's about to tell us.

It is not enough to describe. A person who describes himself as an atheist should be expected to give a rational defence of his belief. An absence of belief is still a belief.

Just as we expect religious believers to substantiate their claims, we should expect the same standards of proof from atheists.

Ah. Wrong.

The burden of proof is always on the claimant. In this case, the claim is theism - that there is some god(s). Failing to prove/demonstrate the claim means that any one is justified in simply rejecting the claim.

When you make an outrageous claim, I don't ever need to prove my case in order to disbelieve yours.

This applies to strong atheists who assert that god(s) do not exist, of course. However, weak atheists, who make no such claim, have no such burden.

This leads to the second point - atheism as a belief system allows for discourse with other belief systems and permits a meaningful exchange in world views, something especially important in a pluralistic society like Singapore.

This can be done already.

However, one should note that atheism is NOT the worldview of atheists. Atheism is a single position on a single claim. Indeed, for humanists and skeptics, atheism is merely a conclusion, not their dogma.

If we are to mature as a society, then no assertions ought to be immune from scrutiny in the public sphere. Everyone should be mutually obligated to explain their belief systems from which they challenge other belief systems.

And the unforunate error carries over throughout the letter.

Again. Only strong atheism makes a positive assertion. Weak atheists (ie, most atheists) make no such assertion.

Ultimately, the definition of atheism is contextual and dependent on how the person is using that term.

Yes. But not in the way you explained so far. Most people simply aren't familiar with the terms, as you were.

Lawrence Khong, whom you attempted defence for, most definitely had no clue what atheism is let alone the nuances of the term.

Mr Tobin's letter should not be construed as defining what atheism really means, especially when even atheists themselves cannot agree on a single definition of atheism.

Actually, Mr Tobin was providing THE single definition of atheism that covers ALL atheists. Afterall, if you don't reject theism, you would be a shitty atheist.

There. Ugh. Atheozoahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4484360653507674234.post-8295512579191232412013-07-23T14:30:00.000+08:002013-12-22T13:48:22.069+08:00"It's not religion, it's human (nature)""It's not religion, it's human (nature)."

That is a very common response when religion is accused of having a hand in evil. It might seem reasonable to most people uncritically looking at the discussion.

Well, it is not. The response basically asserts that religion is just a tool and humanity can do good and evil with it (like scientific knowledge). But that is simply untrue.

Religion is not "here's the name of god, do with it what you wish"; it is "here's a ambiguous book vested with the name of god, do whatever you interpret it says." It is not just a tool, it is a catalyst to do anything motivated with a divine authority.

Yes, humanity has good and bad. A evil man could use religion to do evil. BUT, as just explained, religion also allows good people to do evil in the name of god with good intents. And THAT is why religion is criticized of having a hand in doing evil.

Look at the cases of religiously motivated displays of misogyny, homophobia and ignorance in general. Those aren't evil people. Those are people being religious -- just people trying to do good after religion has crippled their reason and morality.

"With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion." -- Steven Weinberg

And for some reason, I remembered the couple of evolution information heavy ones as the bulk of the series rather than just a part.

So, I rewatched them to set that straight. From the playlist: Foundational Falsehood of Creationism,

8th FFoC: On mutations and "information". This video explains mutations and creationist misconception of related concepts. Some interesting information on beneficial human mutations.

9th FFoC: Transitional species. This one explains transitional forms.

10th FFoC: Introductory primer to cladistic phylogenetics. Two words: FUCKING AWESOME (to me anyways). The video attempts to condense that particular set of evidence for common ancestry.

11th FFoC: This one deals with creationist misconceptions about speciation. Helpful to understanding common ancestry.

The other parts are great too. But they deal specifically with other creationist misconceptions/lies/fallacies; they are lighter on information on evolution.

For stuff on evolution by Aronra, they are consolidated in this playlist.

I was going to write a blog post for it but it was literally rehashing common creationist misconceptions of evolution -- boring shit.

The letter is: Creationism still part of the evolution debate -- reposted in full below (since I don't know if TODAY's online articles stays online).

I refer to the commentary "Theory of evolution in crisis - and it's a good thing" (Sept 7). There are problems with the idea that creationism has never posed an intellectual challenge to evolutionary thinking.

First, creationists do not pose a threat to scientific thinking. The founders of modern science and many modern scientists are creationists who study an orderly, non-random universe.

Dr Marc Kirschner of Harvard Medical School has remarked that almost all of biology over the last 100 years has proceeded independent of evolution.

In fact, evolution hinders medical discovery. The writer himself highlighted the crisis in traditional evolutionary thinking, which has been so dogmatic as to not even consider creationism as a viable option.

Whilst science comprises experimental and historical types, the issue of beginnings and the past falls within the latter and should not be accorded the same authority as the former.

Natural selection and mutation do not equate to evolution.

The former is a principle also recognised by creationists. It might explain the survival of the fittest, not the arrival of the fittest. One cannot modify a Mr Potato Head into a GI Joe.

How do genes "move" in sexual reproduction in higher animals? Do we presume that once moved, they can just be "absorbed"?

Does the recipient genome have the machinery or resources to process the "absorbed" gene?

The idea of two bacteria forming the first eukaryotic cell (the more complex cell type found in multicellular animals) is speculation.

There are many questions for evolutionists:

How did life originate? Even if every atom in the universe were an experiment, with all the correct amino acids present for every possible molecular vibration in the supposed long age of the universe, not one average-sized functional protein would have formed.

So how did bacteria form? How did the DNA code, biochemical pathways, multicellular life and gender all originate?

There are more fundamental questions: From where do natural laws come? From where does logic come? These are non-material stuff but often taken for granted.

A quick summary of the letter (in paragraphs): introduction; trivial; quote-mine; false, projection; false; misconception; expression of incredulity; expression of lack of study; expression of lack of study; lack of understanding of scientific terms; creationist "probabilities"; expression of lack of study; irrelevant, logic fail.

Fortunately, two awesome letters have been published in response to the truckload of "creationism".

One from the fine professors of our NTU School of Biological Sciences: Profs respond to debate on evolution, creationism

The letter "Creationism still part of the evolution debate" (Sept 28) reproduces some misunderstandings of the theory of evolution. Some fundamentals should be emphasised for the record.

The evolution of new species from pre-existing species is recognised as a fact, not a conjecture, by a great many scientists due to abundant, robust and mutually supporting evidence from multiple fields of science, and the absence of findings to the contrary.

We use the term "theory" in the scientific sense: We are certain that evolution has generated all life on Earth.

Our current inability to explain every detail of its processes does not disprove evolution, just as gravity cannot be denied despite an inability to explain fully how it works.

Disagreements on these details do not imply that the theory is shaky. To the contrary, disagreement between scientists in any field is the norm, the necessary outcome of vigorous inquiry and an impetus to refine our knowledge through further investigation.

For the broader review this question deserves, we refer interested readers to Science and Creationism, and Science, Evolution and Creationism from the National Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies in the United States.

Both documents are free for downloading. We also recommend the book Why Evolution is True, the related blog by Professor Jerry A Coyne and many other books on the subject.

That addressed mostly the lack of understanding for scientific method, terms and process.

Thank you professors.

The other letter is from the Humanist Society (Singapore): Creationism yet to earn intellectual spurs

We refer to Dr Luke Tan's letter "Creationism still part of the evolution debate" (Sept 28). Several Humanist Society (Singapore) members read with alarm Dr Tan's claims about evolution, and creationism as its intellectual challenge in modern biology.

Evolution is the unifying theory of biology. So, it was surprising to read the assertion that Harvard Medical School's Mark Kirschner claimed that evolution had played only a minor role in the last 100 years of biology.

We contacted Dr Kirschner for verification and, as it turned out, his quote, taken from a Boston Globe article in 2005, was a lament that evolution has not been a more integral part of biology. Also, he noted that "broadening the inquiry into evolution beyond natural history and population genetics only adds more evidence for evolution and explains more of the mechanistic transitions".

"We thought of that because the molecular, cellular and developmental insights very much increase our appreciation and confidence in evolution."

While Dr Tan's letter rehashes several misconceptions, there is no scientific debate over evolution's validity. The wealth of experimental and observational evidence in its favour is astounding; the only objections to evolution are theological.

The theory of evolution accounts for the origins of species, not life, as he implied. To claim evolutionary biologists have been dogmatically rejecting creationism as a viable option is to suggest creationists have been putting forth viable evidence to no avail.

There is no international conspiracy spanning two centuries; there is just no evidence. The theory of evolution is part of an experimental science: Biology. The experimental-historical boundary that he perceived is artificial.

Even if the theory of evolution is overturned, however unlikely that may be, creationism will not become the default explanation for the origin of species. It must earn the title of intellectual challenger on its evidential merits.

HSS' letter addresses the quote mined statement of Dr Kirschner and directly points out that creationism does not contribute to our knowledge AT ALL even if the theory evolution is false.

For those who are actually interested in learning, here's my recommendations.

Berkeley has some resources on Evolution 101 and the Scientific Method.

If you like textbooks, there are 3 sample chapters from Mark Ridley's Evolution available online

And if you're a creationist who got most/all of your information from church, I don't know how to put it nicely... you've probably been thoroughly misinformed. In which case, do watch this playlist of AronRa's videos. I can assure you this does not attack the belief in god -- it only attacks the lies that some unscrupulous men of god like to tell.

If videos ain't your thing, do check out TalkOrigins' Index of Creationist Claims. If you heard it from creationists, it's there. They also have a couple of other pages worth seeing.

Stay smart. Be well informed.Atheozoahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4484360653507674234.post-42591273728213309442012-09-17T12:00:00.000+08:002012-09-17T23:11:13.117+08:00I'm with Atheism+Before I begin describing Atheism+, let's look at what the atheism movement (also called the New Atheism) has been about.

1. Destigmatization of atheists/atheism

2. Separation of Church and State (Secularism)

3. Antireligion & antitheism

4. Humanism (Social justice issues - women's rights, LGBT rights etc)

5. Skepticism and promotion of Science & Reason

Note that these stances are not derived from mere "dictionary" atheism, ie the lack of belief in the existence of god(s). This shouldn't be an issue at all.

Atheists in the atheist movement may focus on different aspects -- some are apathetic to certain stances or even opposed to them. For example, some atheists may be for (1), (2), (3), (5) but against (4) because they're misognistic or homophobic. To be sure, they ARE atheists but they certainly are not with Atheism+.

Atheism+ is essentially a rallying label -- a subset of atheists who are on board with ALL 5 stances and want to be active in the movement. In particular, the (4) is the main driver for this new rallying point -- a call to work towards repairing the damage done by religion in the social sphere.

Why not call yourself a Secular Humanist?
I am.

Secular Humanism is on board with stances (1), (2), (4), (5) but not (3). Traditionally, Secular Humanist organizations are hesitant on the antitheistic-antireligion front -- preferring to stay friendly with non-extremist religious groups. Their primary focus tend to be with (2), (4) and (5).

This I am not so enthusiastic about. I am an antitheistic-antireligious Secular Humanist. If their organizations won't be a platform for those views then I'll have to find one. And that would be Atheism+.

Also, about theistic-atheistic Skeptics divide...
And like the Secular Humanists, the skeptical organizations also tend to be of the same nature -- avoiding hostility with theistic factions.

Honestly, I, for one, do not think that a theist is a skeptic. A theist can be skeptical -- but cannot be said to be a skeptic if he/she is not applying skepticism to ALL claims including the theistic claims they accept without good evidence.

With both the Secular humanists and skeptics pussyfooting in the realm of antitheism and antireligion, the humanistic-skeptic-atheists need their own platform -- and that would be Atheism+.

Is Atheism+ divisive?
I don't think so. I'm not sure how it can be.

To be sure, we're not redefining atheism. If you don't believe in god(s), you're an atheist -- nothing to do with the 5 stances. That's why there's a "+" -- it signifies "in addition to" as in 5 stances in addition being just an atheist.

Is it a "schism"? Nope. Not really. Prior to the label, there has always been atheists who may or may not be on board with all 5 stances within the movement. That didn't cause a divide. Now there's a label to rally those that are on board with all 5 stances to do some work/activism. If having different interests/focus qualifies as a schism, then yea -- but I couldn't care for that sort of wordplay.

I'll put it this way. I have always been an Atheist+. There just wasn't the label.

It seems that my Singapore doesn't seem to see the difference between criticism and hate speech.

Channel News Asia has this article:

SINGAPORE: Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affairs Teo Chee Hean said freedom of expression does not mean that one has unfettered rights to insult and denigrate another's religion or race.

Rather, this freedom must be safeguarded through mutual respect of the views and beliefs of others.

Commenting on the film "Innocence of Muslims", Mr Teo said in a statement that it is also wrong and counterproductive to respond to this inflammatory and offensive film with violence.

Mr Teo said he is confident that Singaporeans will react to this film in the same rational and calm manner as they have done previously.

He added that "we should not let events overseas undermine the peaceful and harmonious relationships built up over the years in Singapore".

I'm pretty sure I disagree (the comment on freedom of expression).

See the following two statements:

"Religious group X are human garbage / should all be shot dead / do not deserve equal rights."

"Religious group Y beliefs are factually wrong / evidentially unsupported / just ridiculous."

The law might justifiably come down against the former sort of statements. However, the latter should be "unfettered". It's the difference between hate speech and criticism -- and freedom of religion does not exempt one from criticism. You do not have the right to not be offended.

Ideally, sane people would never go so far as to riot and kill over being "offended". Yet, religious people do. The right thing to do is to jail the rioters -- not impinge on freedom of expression. Offensive speech would be regulated at a social level -- not legally.

At the time of writing, the film is still available on Youtube (Yay Youtube!).

The Guardian has a summary + timeline of the events here.

Here are some excerpts of a news report by the Washington Post on the extent of the damage done by these protesters.

CAIRO — Angry protests over an anti-Islam film spread across the Muslim world Friday, with demonstrators scaling the walls of U.S. embassies in Tunisia and Sudan, torching part of a German embassy and clashing with police in violence that left at least four dead.

It was a dramatic expansion of protests that began earlier this week and saw assaults on the U.S. embassies in Egypt and Yemen and the storming of the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

Several thousand battled with Tunisian security forces outside the U.S. Embassy in Tunis... Some protesters scaled the embassy wall and stood on top of it, planting the Islamist flag that has become a symbol of the wave of protests: A black banner with the Islamic profession of faith, "There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet."

Police chased them off the wall and took the flag down. Two protesters were killed and 29 people were wounded, including police.

Soon after, several hundred Sudanese stormed into the German Embassy, setting part of an embassy building aflame along with trash bins and a parked car. Protesters danced and celebrated around the burning barrels as palls of black smoke billowed into the sky...

Gunmen waving the black Islamist banner and shouting "God is great" stormed into the base, firing automatic weapons. They set fire to vehicles and battled with peacekeepers inside...

Four Colombian peacekeepers were wounded and were evacuated to Israel.

Elsewhere, one protester was killed in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli in clashes with security forces, after a crowd of protesters set fire to a KFC and a Hardee's restaurant. Protesters hurled stones and glass at police in a furious melee that left 25 people wounded, 18 of them police.

A day earlier, hundreds of protesters chanting "death to America" stormed the embassy compound in Sanaa and burned the American flag. Four protesters were killed and 38 people wounded in that incident when police tried to clear the crowd, the Interior Ministry said Friday. The embassy said no staff was harmed.

My thoughts on this? It's nuts. IT IS FUCKING NUTS.

It is one thing to express your dislike or disagreement of something that "offends" you; That's exercising your freedom of expression. But, my gosh, it's a whole other thing to harm people and destroy property because you're offended.

And no, just because it's religious sensibilities that are being offended doesn't excuse such unhinged behavior.

The fault is wholly and squarely on the Muslim rioters. There is no blood on the video producer's hands.

It should be made clear that if there is an attempt to censor the video, it should be made because we're dealing with a bunch of religious primates and not because the video is "offensive to religious sensitivities".Atheozoahttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4484360653507674234.post-63005827915147953022012-07-15T11:30:00.000+08:002012-07-15T13:01:28.670+08:00SecularismBrilliant video on secularism by QualiaSoup.

There have been many success stories in the Newcastle side this season.
Tim Krul – great season for Tim Krul
And one of them is Dutch International goalkeeper Tim Krul, in this his first season as the new Newcastle number one goalkeeper.
And he has kept 15 clean sheets so far this season in the league, and will just miss out on the Golden Glove in the Premier League to England goalkeeper Joe Hart, who kept his 17th clean sheet at St. James' Park in Manchester City's 2-0 win last Sunday.
In last summer's pre-season, Krul beat out the incumbent Steve Harper, and Hexham-born Fraser Forster, who is completing a second successive season at Glasgow Celtic.
Krul has recently signed a new contract which will keep him at the club until the summer of 2017, and the goalkeeper, who turned 24 last month, had this to say today to the local press:
"I came back from pre-season last year after making my debut for Holland." "I just wanted to be number 1." "It was a hard-fought battle with Steve Harper and Fraser Forster."
"I'm pleased the manager gave me the confidence because it really gave me a boost." "It gave me the extra boost to show I'm capable."
"We've exceeded everybody's expectations." "To be playing for one of the top four spots with one game to go is something special."
"I think even the players' expectations have also been exceeded." "It has been a hell of an experience. Sometimes I pinch myself and keep thinking 'this is my first full season, how do I top this'."
"It's been great and we've always talked about team spirit. I've always said that Newcastle should have a reputation as a top, top team." "And we're here now."
"I've extended my contract and now I want to be playing for a club that fights for places in the top four." "And that's what has happened. I'm over the moon."
"The club have shown the right aspirations here. They got Fabricio Coloccini to sign a new deal and myself." "That's the way I want the club to go."
"We've also got people like Cisse here too and they are the type of players the fans want here too." "To be where we are now shows that we're going places."
"We had a great season to go 11 games unbeaten." "We've gone from strength to strength. Now we are just looking to go higher and higher."
Everything is looking very good at the moment for Newcastle, although it looks we will be losing some first team players in the summer.
Danny Guthrie and Danny Simpson are both likely to leave, and Pardew is also worried about a top player who could leave.
We think that's Demba Ba, and we can only believe that another club or clubs have already made an approach to Newcastle for the player.
What do you think?
99 comments so far
Tim Krul has been great this season. One thing I can fault him on is that he has a tendency to try long balls too often, luckily with Ba and Cisse they are winnable, but would much rather the ball was just given to Colo or Santon! I've done a little tactical preview of the Everton game at http://one-touch-passing.blogspot.co.uk/ if anyone is interested!
I heard what AP said, I hardly believe Willo would start over Saylor should they both be fit at the start of next season. It's just smart man management and a motivation tool, keeping the guy who you're relying on currently in good morale. Much the same as Willo played the majority of last season and did ok, but Saylor was always going to be picked ahead of him for the start of this campaign.
I have said it before I am not worried about Demba; if he wants to leave there is nothing to do about it, but he'll not go any further than NUFC.
I have seen many players leaving NUFC for money, but they have for most parts peeked at our Club and it has been down hill for here.
So if money is more important for he and I wish him the best of luck.
Possible that this deal is already tied up. If we can figure this out I'm sure that any other suitors will too. Otherwise its surely just bad business. Cabaye has previously spoke of the player wanting to join and he is not exactly outside our price range.
The only thing that really baffles me about this deal is the Simpson and Santon situation. I would assume that Santon would be a direct replacement on that side as a right footed player should Simmo leave (based on pardews recent comments). Certainly raises alot of questions that would take a while to go into..
Best thing is that the lad is apparently versatile, starting his career as a DM before being used on the right. Seems a sure thing to me and hopefully will prove to be as versatile as a few others.
Couldnt agree more. The one thing ive learned over the last few seasons is that the club comes first. I think in any situation if a player feels he wants a better deal elsewhere then let him leave.
At the end of the day we know that Ashley will not have his pants pulled down over the price over any of our top talent (possibly excluding demba). Living within our means will secure our short term and long term futures. Drawing back to the Demba situation despite the release clause the same applies to him.
I think thats the most likely situation, especially given that things have cooled slightly on Pieters. I'd say given his injury record its probably for the best anyway.
On another note, maybe reading to much into things but seems to be a smart tactic by the club to try and bring in players that are linked with certain key players at our club. Ba and Cisse (Senegal), Cabaye and Debuchy (Lille), Krul and Pieters (Holland) and Tiote and Douglas (Twente). Seems a smart way to keep everyone happy in my view.
Thought the Pards & JC interview was class, two top lads that we have doing a great job for our mighty club. Indeed i have watched the freekicks these season and really haven't been impressed but i don't just feel a Mbiwa/Douglas type monstrous CB is need for the set plays but i think we may need another midfielder who has the ability to take set pieces because at the moment we have Cabaye, Ben Arfa & R. Taylor also Ba can take them as well but really many of these setplays have been dissapointing as a number of them do not even beat the first man. I think we need a Marvin Martin, Rasmus Elm or Gylfi Sigudsson type player to give us a bit more differentiation and hopefully a big CB like Mbiwa can be brought into give us that authority in the box.

The funerals for a Swiss couple who went missing 75 years ago only to be found perfectly preserved on a shrinking glacier in the Alps have been held.
Marcelin and Francine Dumoulin left their seven children to milk their cows in a meadow above Chandolin in the Valais canton on August 15, 1942.
The couple, who were 40 and 37 when they disappeared, were finally laid to rest during a service on Saturday in Saviese in southwestern Switzerland.
Marcelin Dumoulin, 40, was a shoemaker, while Francine, 37, was a teacher.
Daughter Marceline Udry-Dumoulin, now 79, and her sister attended the funeral. The five other children have since died.
"Three-quarters of a century later the family can at last stop asking the question: 'What happened to them?'" a priest said during the service, according to Switzerland's The Local.
Udry-Dumoulin last week told the Lausanne daily le Matin: "We spent our whole lives looking for them, without stopping. We thought that we could give them the funeral they deserved one day."
She added: "I can say that after 75 years of waiting this news gives me a deep sense of calm."
The bodies were found on the Tsanfleuron Glacier at 2,615 meters (8,580 feet) above sea level. Swiss police say, due to climate change
"It was the first time my mother went with him on such an excursion. She was always pregnant and couldn't climb in the difficult conditions of a glacier," Udry-Dumoulin said ahead of the service.
"After a while, we children were separated and placed in families. I was lucky to stay with my aunt," she said. "We all lived in the region but became strangers."
Udry-Dumoulin wore white to the funeral, stating: "It represents hope, which I never lost."

WASHINGTON – An anti-abortion group that mounted a six-month undercover investigation has released videos that raise questions about what might happen to a baby as a result of an unsuccessful abortion.
One edited video features a Washington, D.C., doctor, Cesare Santangelo, who said that in the unlikely event that an abortion results in a live birth, "we would not help it." Santangelo was answering repeated questions from an undercover operative about what would happen, hypothetically, if she gave birth after an unsuccessful abortion.
"I mean, technically, you know, legally, we would be obligated to help it, you know, to survive, but … it probably wouldn't," Santangelo is shown telling the woman, who was 24 weeks pregnant. "It's all in how vigorously you do things to help a fetus survive at this point."
In an interview with The Washington Post, Santangelo said he was trying to reassure the woman, who turned out to be an undercover operative of the group, Live Action. In reality, he said, he would call 9-1-1. But he said he stands by what he said on tape.
"What I said is, basically I wouldn't do anything extraordinary," he said Saturday. "We would call EMS. We would call 9-1-1. But I wouldn't do intubation or anything. … You let nature take its course."
The videos do not depict Santangelo doing anything illegal. Live Action provided an advance copy of the video, and other extended footage of the D.C. clinic encounter, to The Post on the condition that it not be published before Monday. Also on the extended tape is a nurse saying unequivocally that the clinic would take any live birth to a hospital. Under D.C. law, it is generally permissible for one party to a conversation to record it without consent.
Live Action plans to release more videos as part of a campaign targeting clinics that perform abortions late in pregnancy, also known as "late-term" abortions. It claims the videos show that abortion doctors are willing to kill babies in violation of the federal Born-Alive Infants Protection Act of 2002, which requires them to try to save a child born during a failed abortion using the same measures used in miscarriages or preterm births at the same stage of pregnancy.
No authorities have accused Santangelo of violating the law. His attorney, Alfred Belcuore, said the doctor practices medicine in full compliance with laws in the District of Columbia. In a statement, he criticized the recording of "a private exchange between a physician and his patient" and their release as an "outrageous intrusion upon the doctor-patient relationship."
Live Action president Lila Rose said the group's videos expose "truly gruesome, illegal and inhuman practices." She defended the tactics, saying undercover investigations are a powerful method to expose abuses.
Another video released Sunday shows an unidentified worker in the New York City borough of the Bronx, saying the clinic would put the baby in a jar of "solution" that would cause it to stop breathing.
Marjana Banzil, director of the Bronx clinic, said Friday she had not viewed the video but that any employee who would say such a thing was misinformed.
"I have never had any fetus that was born alive," she said. "If my staff member or somebody had mentioned something [like that], it was something they didn't understand." Live Action is calling for investigations of the Washington Surgi-Clinic and Dr. Emily Woman's Health Center in the Bronx.
Experts say it is exceedingly rare for a live birth to result from an abortion attempt. Santangelo and other doctors said they have never witnessed it. But interest in the subject has been rekindled during the trial of Philadelphia doctor Kermit Gosnell, who is accused of snipping the spines of living babies after they were removed from their mothers' bodies.
The group outfitted three women between 23 and 26 weeks pregnant with tiny cameras and sent them to 18 clinics pretending to seek abortions.
