I would like to know if Jim is a Christian? Thx.. : )

Re: Christian
As far as I know he's a Catholic. But as I asked here on JCO a few weeks before (and didn't get an answer, ): I read he converted to Buddhism. ???

Re: Christian
I read somewhere that Jim was raised a Catholic. I've also read that Jim himself said in an interview that he is a very religious person and that he prays every day, but I don't know if he is still a Catholic or has converted to any other religion.

*** Kay Jay ***

 Here I come to save the day!

Last i heard, JC was a Buddist. But isnt it ironic that Jim has the same initials as Jesus Christ? Rael is another religion JC was interested in.

JC forever! (Carrey that is)

Re: Religion
I heard he's a bit like me...
Skipping all over the place in what looks neat and seeing what's best fit for him.
Right now, I'm into Wicca. I think it's working for me.
Not sure about Jim, but whatever floats his spiritial boat!

re.is Jim a christian
hey ya about the christian thing,ok.....well from what i see,i think Jim knows about christianity,especially from what i saw in bruce almighty.and if he is not,i think he is searching.....and i pray that he will find christianity!!!!!!!

Maybe I am wrong but on the last Howard Stern show he was on a guy called and told Jim He should have a posse of girlfriends and Jim says "I can't do that I'm a Catholic!" Please correct me if I am wrong.

Re: Religion
He was bought up a catholic, I know that, but of course people can change, I was raised a christian, and I am now a catholic, so I guess it is his choice!

We have scored universities against a ten-point checklist of things we think universities should have in place. The checklist has been compiled from information available on university and students' union websites. It's important that when universities put provisions in place for lesbian, gay and bisexual students and staff, they talk about it too – and while not publishing this information online doesn't mean a university isn't gay friendly, it doesn't necessarily reflect the good work going on to champion equality.

Rodeo, rides & anything fried
Though it wasn't much of a winter, springtime is in the air and that means one thing — the YMBL South Texas State Fair at Ford Park.
The opening ceremony starts at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, March 22, and now in its 69th year, the event is geared up for another outstanding 11 days filled with fun, food and entertainment.
The fair can be traced back as far as 1907, and for nearly 100 years, the event had a long run as a fall fair. It has seen a number of names in that time – starting out as the Beaumont Fair, then Southeast Texas State Fair, South Texas State Fair and finally the YMBL South Texas State Fair – and has only been canceled once because of Hurricane Rita in 2005. The YMBL fair has been a long-standing tradition in the Southeast Texas community, bringing in visitors from all walks of life with entertainment that will keep all fair-goers busy.
Kids of all ages will once again enjoy the carnival midway, which will be provided by the Fort Worth-based Carnival Americana.
Over 250 commercial exhibitors and concessionaires will dish out exotic and intriguing dishes made for easy eating on the go – funnel cakes, cheesecake-on-a-stick, pork kabobs, rabbit-on-a-stick, fried alligator, fried pickles, plus the always appetizing fried Snickers, Twinkies, Ding Dongs and anything else you can imagine being dipped into grease.
Along with the vast array of food booths and vendors, inside the Ford Exhibit will be more than 100 vendors selling collectibles, home improvements items, jewelry, clothing and more. Texas Marine will have more than 40 boats on display in the Ford Exhibit Hall, in addition to art, quilt and photo shows featuring art from various schools in Southeast Texas, with cash prizes going to the winners of the photography contest.
In the Ford Pavilion will be the popular Kids Fun Zone, featuring a scaled-down carnival for the youngsters as well as the Double R Exotics Petting Zoo and both camel and pony rides.
Also being featured is the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association Sanctioned Rodeo that will take place Friday, March 30, at 7 p.m. and Saturday, March 31, at 5 p.m. The rodeo is free with the purchase of a fair admission ticket on the same day.
One of the top attractions for youngsters is in the livestock barns – the Children's Barnyard. Fair officials expect thousands of families to come through the attraction with children getting the chance to hold some animals like baby ducks and chicks.
Among the bands scheduled to perform at the YMBL South Texas State Fair are J.A.G., Jenny & The Reincarnations, Louisiana Scramble, Lisa Marshall Band, Night & Day Orchestra, Kenny Wiebusch, Toni Harrison, Rock-N-Horse, Neil to Aldrin, The Beat Daddy's, Hamilton Loomis and many others.
As always, there will be specials run throughout the fair, like opening night when there will be free admission to everyone attending the opening ceremonies at the Archway Entrance (5:30-6 p.m.) and the Carnival Midway will also offer a special – $20 for unlimited ride wristbands. Other special days will be Teacher Appreciation (March 23), Kids' Days (March 24, 31), Senior Day (March 25), HEB $1 Night (March 26), Conn's Ladies Night (March 27), Sonic 2-for-1 Buddy Night (March 28) and Cantastic Sunday (April 1). For information about the specials, see ymbl.org.
Regular admission prices into the YMBL South Texas State Fair are $8 for adults, $4 for students ages 11-17 and senior citizens 65 years or older, and free for children 10 and under. The fair will run March 22 through April 1 and proceeds will go to the many programs of the YMBL.
Ford Park is located at 5115 IH-10 South in Beaumont.

Hotell i Ranchi
Its lush green hills and valleys make it a wonderful base for exploring the largely undiscovered east India.
Ranchi remained in the possession of various tribal groups and escaped the purview of ancient Indian empires for centuries. As such, tribal history and culture remain rich in the area today.
Ranchi lies in the heart of the steel and mining belt of India and is a growing industrial base as a result. Many of India's biggest mining and industrial companies have bases in Ranchi.
Ranchi is a healthcare hub for the people of Jharkhand and the surrounding states. A boom in the retail sector has seen the development of several large shopping malls and multiplex cinemas as well as the launch of multinational food chains.
Its position makes Ranchi a good base for hill safaris or to visit the Betla National Park.
When to go:
The best time to visit Ranchi is from October to April. Owing to its elevation it can be cool in December and January and even hot summer days cool down in the evenings. It can be very humid in summer.
- Admire the view of the exquisite surrounding landscape at the summit of Ranchi Hill, where you'll also find a temple to Lord Shiva. It's a great place for trekking and rock climbing.
- Bathe in the pool at the base of the Hundru Falls, which fall almost 100m, making them the highest waterfalls in the state. They are formed on the course of the Subarnarekha River. It is popular among hikers.
- Visit the Jonha Falls, one of the many famous waterfalls around Ranchi. There is also a Buddhist temple here. Other impressive waterfalls include Dassam Gagh, which falls over 40m from the Kanchi River and the Panch Gagh Falls consist of five streams.
- Travel up to Tagore Hill, named after the famous Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore. It is believed he wrote some of his famous works on top of the hill. The stunning view attracts nature lovers from all over India.
- Spend some time discovering the history of local tribes at the Tribal Research Institute and Museum.
- Organise a trip to the Betla (Palamu) National Park, the home to the world's first tiger census in 1932. It's a great place to watch wild elephants, bison and – fingers crossed – tigers and leopards.
- Indulge yourself with a treatment at the Radisson Blu's Spa O2.
- Picnic at the Ranchi Rock Gardens, whose sculptures were built from the rocks of Gonda Hill. The nearby Kanke Dam is also popular.

In the bibulous days of Shakespeare, the peg tankard, a species of wassail or wish-health bowl, was still in use. Introduced to restrain intemperance, it became a cause of it, as every drinker was obliged to drink down to the peg. We get our expression of taking a man "a peg lower," or taking him "down a peg," from this custom.

Shallow thought of the day
23 comments:
Clearly, the one breaking the blind review process is the reviewer who went looking for you. Unless, that is, you emailed her/him after using your tracker. ;)
Actually, I wonder what would happen if you emailed the reviewer AND cc'd the editor of the journal.
- April 19, 2011 at 9:31 PM
I'm sorry that you have an asshat for a referee (if you do and it wasn't some coincidence). It's a shame you can't post the name of the referee and out the little dipshit for the piece of pathetic trash he or she is.
On your end, you shouldn't have posted your paper or any other interesting identifying information online. That was not smart. Don't do it again, since you now know that some referees are asshats.
- April 19, 2011 at 9:49 PM

Both of you I'd have thought, though arguably you're at least partly excused given s/he did it first and your finding them depended on their prior wrongdoing.
- April 20, 2011 at 2:56 AM
I know some referees (not me) who first submit their reviews and then, to satisfy their curiosity, ascertain the author of the paper via a web search. If such a referee has already recommended publication of the paper, then his or her behavior is benign: the identity of the author will appear in print later anyway (assuming the paper has a single referee and the editors respect recommendations of referees).
If the referee recommends rejecting the paper, then such behavior seems more suspicious to me. Perhaps I could be convinced otherwise.
- April 20, 2011 at 5:31 AM
A tangentially related question (because it's about publishing):
If one receives a rejection from a journal because the submission was not a good fit for the journal, but if said journal thinks the submission strong and recommends submitting it to another journal (and provides name[s] of suggested journals), should the author make mention of this suggestion in resending out the manuscript? Or should the author just send it out with no mention of this?
- April 20, 2011 at 5:44 AM
Anon 5:44,
You might send a short separate note to the editor indicating such. I'd only consider doing this if the rejecting journal is more prestigious than the one being submitted to. Also, note that at best this will help the article get past the editor/gatekeeper. It will not reach the blind reviewers.
- April 20, 2011 at 6:30 AM
How do you know that the person who went to your website also refereed your paper?
- April 20, 2011 at 6:41 AM
Journal refereeing is not blind. Just ask the editor at Philosophy and Social Criticism. They select heavily on the basis of pedigree. They even tell less well pedigreed authors that there are too many papers on X, so we must reject your paper on X. The next week they accept a paper on X by a better pedigreed author. Snooty bastards!
- April 20, 2011 at 6:41 AM
I think mentioning it would be tacky and might be a turn off, as if the editor of that journal can't tell whether it's a good paper and needs a tip off. Just my opinion.
About blind reviewing: a lot of times, it isn't blind simply because people have well known views.
Looking someone up is very hard to refrain from doing if you care about having knowledge. So I think it's probably especially hard for an academic not to do it.
If you don't want people to know who you are, don't post your stuff on the web.
- April 20, 2011 at 7:29 AM
I don't see how that would ever be appropriate. It would be similar to including a note to the editor during submission mentioning that the paper was received well at a conference
- April 20, 2011 at 12:03 PM
Dude. Seems to me this shit happens a lot, and that blind review is (for this and other reasons) blind far less than is acceptable. Only contributes to the stratification of the discipline, which is in my view brutally stratified as is.
- April 20, 2011 at 1:58 PM
I'm not sure why it is a natural assumption that the referee was searching for you and your paper. If I'm refereeing a paper, I sometimes look for recent work in the area. I google key terms, then google key authors to see what they're writing about. This can help me find my footing for evaluating a piece. I think there's very little wrong with this practice, and quite a bit right. It's important for a referee to check on recent work.
If, for some reason, you've put the title of the paper that you've written up online, and if the referee stumbles on it by googling for research, and if for some reason this is a concern for you, then you have nobody to blame but yourself if your identity is discovered. On the other hand, you might also be flattered and pleased that when searching for background on your AOS, you are the one who naturally pops up.

"It would be similar to including a note to the editor during submission mentioning that the paper was received well at a conference."
I was actually advised to do just that by a professor once, for a paper I presented at a Hume conference. I never submitted it, however, so I cannot speak to the effectiveness of name-dropping.
- April 20, 2011 at 4:37 PM
5:44 here.
Thanks for the advice.
I didn't/don't think it's necessarily a good idea to say anything besides "please consider this manuscript," etc., etc., but I'm not a pro at protocol and don't simply know how these things work, like some people seem to know (anon 12:03, perhaps). Anyhow. My thinking was this: The paper was reviewed at a very good journal, not considered suitable for the aims of that journal, but was recommended to send to another journal. I know it's not a big deal, but I've never encountered this scenario before (and don't know anyone who has), so I'm just curious.
The reason I was even thinking about it (whether using the name of journal #1 or not) is to help mention why/how the manuscript might be a good fit for journal #2, which of course I can do on my own and the paper can do on its own merits, but it might be a nice and/or helpful thing to mention. Nice because journal #1 obviously respects journal #2, and helpful because, well, I imagine that it's tough to be an editor, and a tidbit might help out in some way. I recall sending a submission out a while back that said why I thought the article would be a good match for the journal, and it didn't seem to do any harm (i.e., it got published).
It was only a thought.
- April 20, 2011 at 9:21 PM
Anon 9:21pm:
I understand what you are trying to do and I thought about how you would put it. The only way for it not to seem pathetic and so general as to mean nothing is if you do mention the journal and the editor, but then that seems pretentious. So I don't see how it could be done well. Also, even if whatever you said the last time didn't hurt, I'll bet it didn't help either. How much time do you suppose editors spend on cover letters? In my own, I just say the title of manuscript, ask them to considerate it, and give them contact info. That is all they are looking for. Should I conclude that this helped me get published? I think the only thing you can do with a cover letter is either give required info or be annoying. I doubt that whatever you said in your cover letter even got read, let alone attended to.
On a more general note: I am always struck by our ability to assume a kind of self-importance in these matters, myself included.
- April 21, 2011 at 7:18 AM
A newbie ABD question: exactly what "using my tracker" should mean? What is a tracker?!
- April 22, 2011 at 12:56 AM
Anon 7:18AM here: I said that I ask them to considerate my manuscript. So let me revise my claim about the things you might do in writing a cover letter: you might annoy them, have no effect, or make yourself look like an ass :)
- April 22, 2011 at 4:46 AM
@Anon 12:56AM: I track my google page with google analytics, which can give me location of visits, number of new visits, and networks, as well as lots of other goodies. It only works if you have a google site though. I don't know how other people track their non-google sites. But it's great, because everytime I got an interview this year, I knew before they even called. I also know that I am on a lot of search committee's radars, since a lot of them looked at my page, which is also encouraging for next year, since my interviews this year went nowhere.
- April 22, 2011 at 5:54 AM
- Christopher Gauker said...
Second Suitor, could you please elaborate a little on your answer to Anon12:56? The most you can get out of your tracker is people's location, right, which might be a specific institution if they're using an institution's server, right? So first you have to figure which of the places people check your website from is the likely home of your reviewer, and then you have to figure out which of the faculty there is the likely reviewer. So there's a lot of guesswork. Am I missing something? Thanks.
- April 22, 2011 at 6:40 AM
Statcounter can give you the actual computer listed. If they did it from a university computer where they had to log in, sometimes you can even get the name.
Check this blog. They use both google analytics, and statcounter. The former isn't nearly as good as the latter. I believe I know at least one member of this blog b/c they looked me up after something I wrote on this blog.
Here's the deal people, be careful with your web comments, and have your own trackers.
- April 22, 2011 at 8:39 AM
This thread sends chills down my spine. And no doubt you can locate what spine.
I'm beginning to think that access to net information on the present scale makes privacy the next heavily patinated antique on The Road Show.
Guard your comments? Have your own trackers? We ARE doomed.
- April 22, 2011 at 5:10 PM
Alright, before everyone flips out about this: no one gives a fuck about us guys. Who is really going to spend their time tracking our comments? I mean WTF? I use a tracker while I am on the job market so I can have some sense of whether I am getting nibbles on the job market. That is it. I can't imagine someone wanting to track my comments for any reason, unless they are a stalker or something. Relax!
- April 23, 2011 at 2:18 AM
I for one believe in the general integrity of the blind review process in philosophy.

One more time...
This time justastudio decided to tweak some "old" friends of ours: Novation Drum+Bass station (rack).
The Novation Bass Station was tracked through Joe Meek ThreeQ and Novation Drumstation tracked through RNC1773, recorded using TC konnekt8 and edited in Cubase.
These two machines are awesome! Why? Price, use and sound. Its fairly cheap, you get additional connections for your vintage equipment and if you just tweak it a bit differently

A sharp rise in fuel prices caused by a recent Iranian fuel export ban, against a backdrop of rising global fuel prices, has bumped up food and medicine prices across Afghanistan, prompting concerns about the welfare of millions of vulnerable Afghans this winter.
Petrol and diesel prices have jumped 10-15 percent (with petrol rising from 45 to 55-58 afghanis a litre) since Iran blocked hundreds of Afghan fuel tankers on its border over two weeks ago. Afghanistan gets 30-40 percent of its fuel from or via Iran, according to the Afghan Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI).
Tehran's ambassador in Kabul, Fida Hussein Maliki, said his government wants to control fuel exports to or via Afghanistan to ensure that NATO and US military forces in Afghanistan are not using the fuel.
NATO and Afghan officials say the blocked tankers were only importing fuel for Afghan civilians.
"If the fuel was for NATO forces it would not have such an immediate and strong impact on our market," Anwar-ul-Haq Ahadi, the minister of commerce and industries, told IRIN.
"Transport is the backbone of commerce in this country and when transport is expensive everything is going to be expensive," he said.
Wheat flour, cooking oil, firewood and some medicines had become slightly more expensive since the fuel prices rose, local merchants and shopkeepers said.
"In winter demand for fuel for heating goes up. Now, not only is fuel expensive but everything else is also getting expensive," said Haji Abdul Hai, a fuel importer.
Iran's actions had resulted in over US$100 million losses for Afghanistan as of 10 January, the Afghanistan Trade Chambers said.
Aid agencies such as the UN World Food Programme use hauliers to import aid, and a rise in transport costs could also affect their activities.
Transit access and politics
Landlocked Afghanistan imports fuel, food, medicine and other commodities primarily over land, and relies heavily on the granting of transit access rights.
With US support, a new Afghanistan and Pakistan Trade and Transit Agreement (APTTA) was signed in November 2010 which is supposed to facilitate greater transit and trade.
The country also has a transit agreement with Iran but it is deemed "out of date", according to MoCI officials.
"As Iran faces increased international sanctions over its nuclear programme, it tries to hit back at the international community by pressuring Afghanistan through transit bans, refugee deportations and other means," Saifuddin Saihoon, a lecturer at Kabul University's economy faculty, told IRIN.
Maliki, Iran's ambassador, rejected such criticisms, saying Tehran had maintained good relations with Kabul.
Despite the presence of about 100,000 US and over 40,000 other NATO forces in Afghanistan, President Hamid Karzai has given assurances that his country would not be used as a launch pad for an attack on Iran.
Iranian officials accuse US/NATO forces of destabilizing regional security and have called for a withdrawal of US-led forces from Afghanistan.
But Afghan ministers are not pleased: "We cannot act at the behest of others [foreign states] and it would be unfair if they [Iranians] keep us under pressure. This is not friendly and Afghans are not satisfied," said Ahadi, the MoCI minister, adding that trade and transit must be not abused for political purposes.
The Afghan government said it has been looking at the possibility of importing fuel from Kazakhstan and Russia. "We're not living in an ideal environment," said Ahadi "so we have to make every effort to mitigate the impact of the current fuel crisis."
Iran fuel ban hurting the poor, says minister
A sharp rise in fuel prices caused by a recent Iranian fuel export ban, against a backdrop of rising global fuel prices, has bumped up food and medicine prices across Afghanistan, prompting concerns about the welfare of millions of vulnerable Afghans this winter.

BBC Proms are starting this week, which means our annual exercise in Doctor Who music is coming up. There's actually a number of DW events planned. First off, author and journalist Matthew Sweet is giving a talk about the history of Doctor Who (he's a Big Finish writer, among his other pursuits; here's his Twitter feed). That's going to be from 5.45 to 6.45 Saturday 13 July, at the Royal College of Music. Sweet's also just done a piece on music and sound in Doctor Who for the Telegraph (the usual homage to the Radiophonic Workshop, plus some rather good anecdotes and a wry comment about Drashigs).
Later this Saturday from 7.30 to 9.45, the Doctor Who Prom proper begins at the Royal Albert Hall. Ben Foster is conductor for the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, so all as per normal. It'll feature Murray Gold's music and some classical pieces (Bizet's Habanera from Carmen Suite No. 2, Debussy's 'La fille aux
cheveux de lin', and Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor). Here's the BBC's description: "Doctor Who returns to the Proms to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the popular BBC series. As well as showcasing Murray Gold's music from the past eight years, the concert also journeys back to the early days of Doctor Who and the groundbreaking work of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Featuring special guests from the series, big screens and a host of monsters ready to invade the Royal Albert Hall, this is not the year to be exterminated!" The schedule page promises an appearance by Matt Smith (who is very fond of the Proms), and a preview clip of the theme music is here.
The Doctor Who Prom is so popular that they repeat it the exact same way at the Royal Albert Hall the following morning (Sunday 14 July, 10.30 am – 12.45pm); nevertheless, both bookings are sold out. Finally, the Proms Family Orchestra and Chorus is offering an opportunity to help create a Doctor Who soundtrack, although that's sold out too. The Sweet event and the Prom will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3, and the Prom is being recorded for broadcast on BBC One.

Gee, both Paddy Kingsland and Marc Ayers are still alive (and the latter *very* active in Doctor Who on the Restoration Team). Maybe they should consider bringing one or both of them in one of these years?
(for that matter, Dudley Simpson's stil around, too, though at age 90, travel isn't something he's as likely to do. :) ).

Update: now that I've had a chance to listen to the whole thing, I'll sit corrected...and content.
Simpson, Ayers, and Peter Howell all attended and Ayers and Howell did some synth playing in the classic medley, so the classic composers were well represented!
