The recent presidential election campaign has thrown gasoline on the fires of the gender wars and ignited a whole new level of fear and loathing. We believe that, as a culture, we are now in a state of heightened awareness of gender issues. We feel we must speak to the fear and anger that has arisen. We ask that men and women thoughtfully and respectfully consider the challenges we face.
The fact that Donald Trump has named Stephen Bannon, who has been chairman of Breitbart News and champion of the "alt-right," as his chief strategist, has drawn much attention. On Nov. 17, a related story by Jessica Roy came out in the Los Angeles Times entitled, "Wondering what a 'cuck' is? A guide to 'alt-right'-speak: Followers of Trump's chief strategist have their own 'alpha' slang."
One of the terms mentioned in the article, "masculinist," was explained as follows:
"Masculinist: A word meant to embody the opposite of feminist, celebrating 'manliness' and the traditional 'heroic' nature of men. To the alt-right, 'masculinist' principles are ones that serve and advocate for men. Critics say they primarily reinforce antiquated gender roles."
Another term, "beta," was explained thus:
"Beta: Members of the alt-right are obsessed with masculinity, manhood, gender roles and the concept of 'alpha' and 'beta' males. Alpha males are leaders, like Trump; beta males are portrayed as weak and emasculated."
To be fair, these brief statements do not accurately depict the full spectrum of thought espoused by those who use the term "masculinist" to describe themselves. Just as with feminism, masculinism includes a wide spectrum of thought. Some proponents would be considered relatively mainstream, some radical, and some extreme. We are not interested in analyzing the full extent of the movement called masculinism. We are interested in talking about a few of the issues that arise in relation to this term and those who embrace it.
As the Times article explains, some masculinists are angry at the feminist movement and question the political thought related to it. It appears to us that some men have chosen this political arena to voice their anger about feminism and the apparent (to them) ascendance of women at men's expense. These men have stated that they experience hatred from feminists, who they believe vilify them and marginalize them through their words and actions. (See Facebook page for International Brotherhood of Masculinists.)
Through our work, we have seen the wounds that men have experienced in their relationships with women. Men are often hurt and confused in these relationships. They often have difficulty negotiating the emotional land mines that seem to pepper the landscape of male-female interface. Many men feel that their anger is not allowed in a conversation and that their logic and their emotional lives often account for very little. Many men feel that they are not appreciated by women, no matter how hard they work or how much they try to understand. Many men are confused about their roles as men and are unsure how to be a man in today's world.
Under these conditions, many men are plagued by reactions of shame, rage, confusion, helplessness, powerlessness, bitterness, despair, and feelings of inadequacy. These feelings necessarily touch on the experience of the wounded boy in us, who was indeed powerless when he found himself in situations he could not fully comprehend nor adequately resolve. We all carry such feelings into our adult lives and they tend to arise when similar situations confront the man. It is a continual challenge to respond from the position of the relational man rather than from the position of the wounded boy. The boy wants to lash out, regardless of the consequences. He wants to conquer his adversary in order to reestablish a sense of personal power. He wants "power over" others in order to not feel like a victim.
To us, it is unfortunate at best and a disaster at worst when men take the strategies of the wounded boy into the political and cultural arenas. To behave like an enfant terrible in a situation in which everyone is experiencing pain and confusion does nothing to improve the situation or work toward the difficult goals of resolution and reconciliation.
Our work leads us to a "manliness" that is relational rather than focused mainly on the self. This includes striving for honor and integrity in all relationships; communicating respect and compassion in interactions with others; a reverence and respect for the sacred in all its forms; generating kindness when at all possible; awareness of the long-term consequences of our actions and words; and honoring and respecting the feminine in all its specific and general forms.
To us, this is a masculinity that carries power from within. Therefore, it has no need for "power over" others. It recognizes that hurts and wounds have been experienced by many women and men and strives for mutual respect between men and women. It advocates the spreading of kindness and compassion, and honors the value and integrity of each individual man and each individual woman.
Perhaps masculinism offers us at this time an encouragement to consider where we stand on these issues. We feel it is time to call on men to join us in continuing to build a masculine sphere that is founded on integrity and honor rather than bitterness and false heroics. We ask that men join us in standing up for wisdom, discernment, and compassion. We ask men to choose thoughtfulness rather than impulsive rage, kindness rather than bitter vengeance, reconciliation rather than power grabs, and integrity rather than self-indulgence. We believe that, if we can meet this difficult challenge, we will be contributing to the general good and that this will benefit everybody.
Now, more than ever, we need to call on a masculinity that values and respects the feminine, that is infused with wisdom and restraint, that offers discernment and deep caring for the world and its people.
Richard Palmer and Tom McGee, 11/21/16
We ask any men who are interested in joining us to consider attending our next retreat, Feb. 24-26, 2017, entitled, "Voyage into Masculine Soul: A Men's Retreat on Authentic Masculinity" We offer to those men who will join us the opportunity to deepen into the most beautiful aspects of themselves and celebrate them with a group of full-hearted brothers.

Water from the ground has many advantages for rural people in developing countries. It is usually free from the bacterial contamination associated with surface water in regions where sanitation facilities are not common. In the May issue protection of spring sources in the Rukungiri region of Uganda was discussed. Hand dug wells are another source of water being developed in the Kabarole district of Uganda.
Uganda, a country which suffered in the 1970's and early 1980's under the repressive regimes of Amin and Obote 2, has a new optimism and determination to forget this difficult past. The Kabarole district of Western Uganda is within the great African rift valley which runs through a chain of lakes from Malawi, Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda to Sudan and the Red Sea. The Kabarole District is a particularly poor area of Uganda where only 4% of people have access to safe water. Much of the area has been recently resettled after eradication of tetse fly and the return of political stability. Existing water sources are usually unprotected holes in the ground which dry up in the dry season leaving women to walk several hours to nearby lakes.
Water for Survival has been assisting the programme of hand dug wells in the Kabarole district for the last two years. To April 1995, 105 wells had been completed as part of a programme to construct 450 wells in the region bringing safe and accessible water to 90,0000 people. New Zealand funds have paid for 23 wells and two further wells have just been supported by the pupils of St Margaret's College in Christchurch and the members of Dunedin South Rotary Club. At the present exchange rate, NZ$805 in support funds, doubled by the NZ Government VASS subsidy and doubled again with a UK Government ODA grant will provide the œ1,320 needed to purchase a handpump, cement, reinforcing steel, and provide construction equipment, transport and skilled staff.
As has been found in many developing countries, involving local people to help themselves achieve the facilities they need is the best way to achieve long term success. Outside help is only a small part of the process which is designed to leave the local people with their own pride of ownership and the satisfaction of having made their own decisions and worked very hard to achieve their new well.
I was fortunate to be able to visit this project in December last year. All project staff are Ugandans led by Walude Mutwalibi, a most enthusiastic young engineer with a degree from Kampala University and a Diploma in Ground Water Management from the Water Engineering and Development Centre (WEDC) at Loughborough University, UK. Walude was responsible for a WaterAid team of technicians, drivers and health educators who liaise with local communities to help them with technical decisions and the expert help needed to construct the wells.
Walude explained that each well serves a community of 30 to 50 families - about 250 people who will decide where they want the well to be sited. Community decisions have led to a number of dry wells being dug but with greater experience from the initial phase of the programme, the success rate has improved from 33% to 75%. No external funds are used in unsuccessful wells - just the disappointment of villagers who have dug a dry hole but who are quick to learn!
The first process is the formation of a Water Committee including women who will be responsible for mobilising the community, planning and managing the unskilled labour for digging the well. Caretakers will be chosen and trained for the management and maintenance of the handpump, well and surroundings. At one completed well I visited the local community members were busy cutting the grass with bush knives and generally keeping the well clean and tidy. A health education programme is conducted at each village and it will be the Caretaker's responsibility to ensure the benefits of the new well are realised by good hygiene.
A handpump user fee of 100 Uganda shillings per month (NZ17 cents) is charged to help pay for the maintenance costs, although it is recognised that this will need to be increased as people better understand the advantages of their new well and gain economic advantages. There is concern however that some communities cannot afford even the basic contribution at this stage.
Wells are dug by hand using a tripod and hoisting bucket to dig through the clay surface layers to water bearing formations. A hand dug well, although more expensive and difficult to construct than a tube (drilled) well, has a number of advantages. If the hand pump fails and cannot be repaired, an access hatch in the concrete cover slab can be used to draw water with a bucket. If the water table drops it is usually possible to deepen the well whereas this is often not possible with a tube well. A hand dug well provides greater storage capacity and hence can utilise low permeability soils and a greater draw off during the day.
Prevention of contamination from surface water is important by forming a concrete surround with a good drainage channel taking wastewater away to garden areas. It is also important to seal off the lining near the surface to prevent surface water seepage down the lining. The Kabarole wells are lined with 8 segment precast concrete rings manufactured by the villagers using local materials. The direct action "Tara" handpumps made in Finland were being fitted to all the Kabarole wells. The Tara is a simple well balanced pump which is easy to use with corrosion resistant plastic and stainless steel parts.
While at the project I stayed at the construction camp at Mahyoro. A works camp built in traditional style from grass huts at a total cost of 600.00 pounds! As work in this area is almost complete the camp is soon to be handed over to the local community who plan to set up a number of income generating projects such as a grain mill and a pharmacy to sell medicines. Not far from the works camp is the village of Mahyoro on the shore of Lake George. Nile perch are caught from the lake by the villagers and Walude explained how he had tried to get the villagers to stop throwing the offal and algae- laden intestines back into the lake where villagers were drawing water. He was told quite firmly by the villagers that the Fisheries Department had told them it was quite acceptable to do this because the fish from the lake would come in during the night and eat up all the algae laden offal! Walude said he no longer eats fish from the lake!
If you or your group would like to help 250 people by supporting a Kabarole well please contact John La Roche Phone/fax 09-5289-759.

I admit it - I never used to think about my water usage or about conserving water. I used to use my garden hose for just about every outdoor cleaning project I had. But my actions have now changed for the better due to water shortages.
But did you know that a pressure washer uses up to 80% less water than a garden hose? You'll clean and conserve water!
My #1 best gas washer recommendation is the Generac 6596 washer that's available on Amazon.
Hands-down, it's my top all-around best gas washer choice. It has a quality Generac engine, an axial cam pump you can count on and it'll give you 2,800 PSI and 2.5 GPM. This Generac gas pressure washer has the kind of power that will easily tackle any home or yard cleaning project you have.
And this Generac 6596 also has Never Flat tires, which I love. No more flat tire hassles!
You can check Amazons price on this recommended Generac 6596 pressure washer.
And I want to quickly assure you that pressure washing CAN be one of the most effective, economical & water-saving outdoor cleaning activities around your home!
You see, the average pressure washer used by DIY/homeowners provides a pressurized water stream that is up to 50 times more powerful than the ordinary garden hose! That's powerful.
But here's the best part: because the water is highly pressurized by the pressure washer pump, and ejected through a small nozzle, you actually use LESS water to clean!
By cleaning with a pressure washer, you'll use up to 70-80% LESS water than a regular garden hose. Sounds great, doesn't it? I thought so too.
I find that I clean better, faster, more economically, and with less water using a pressure washer vs. a garden hose..Pressure Washer Safety Tips
Do you have problems with water in your crawl space or sump pump? Then you'll want to check out this great article on the best submersible sump pumps for homeowners.
And don't forget, every sump pump needs a back up, in case your electricity goes out. During a black out, your sump pump will stop working - not good. Check out this helpful battery backup for a sump pump review page.

Ottsix VooDoo KLR 4.7" x 1.9" tires - Gold
These tires were specifically designed from the ground up with a brand new compound technology to afford both superior grip while maintaining a rigid shape, and consistent performance throughout.
The KLR tires have surpassed every other tire that we at RC Addict have tested thus far. Even in the hardest "Blue" compound, these tires walk lines that other tires have failed out.
I personally love the wide flat foot print and the way the tread cleans fast and easily. I also love that the sidewall is designed to not fold over like many other tire brands.
These tires mounted up easily to the several sets up wheels we tried them on and have just blown as away with the quality.
You can add your own foams however we reccomend using the Voodoo foams designed specifically for this tire. You will be amazed at the performance.
Tires come in pairs, order 2 for a complete set.

The Harris County Medical Examiner has Sandra Blake's death officially listed as suicide by hanging.
This comes as Texas Rangers are investigating the death of the 28 year old who died while being held at the Waller County jail.
Bland was arrested Friday for assaulting a state trooper during a traffic stop.
This ruling by the medical Examiner does not effect an ongoing investigation into the Prairie View graduate's death.
Close friends say they just don't believe Sandy as they call her would take her own life.
LaVaughn Moseley says Bland had just been hired by Prairie View and was set to begin work Monday.
In the meantime, the Factor has learned the FBI is standing by awaiting the completion of the investigation into Bland's death by the Texas Rangers before they get involved.
Shauna Dunlap with the FBI issued the Factor this statement:
We handle it as we do all similar cases… we will monitor the local investigation until it is complete. Once complete, if warranted, then we could pursue a federal investigation.
Hi Isiah – We only issue confirmed information. Ms. Bland's autopsy has been completed and her death classified.
The manner of death is Suicide
The cause of death is Hanging

On Saturday, March 21, the Scorpion team was proud to partner with the Michael Hoefflin Foundation to both sponsor and participate in their 2015 Walk | 5K Run. The annual event is a celebration of the children and their families who have been affected by childhood cancer. All of the money raised by the event goes toward the nonprofit's efforts to support affected children and families throughout Santa Clarita and surrounding valleys.
"Partnering with the Michael Hoefflin Foundation has resulted in one of the most rewarding relationships we have established within our community," said Director of PR & Events Kylie Patterson. "They are a true asset to those they work with and a hidden gem in the nonprofit world. We're honored to share our SCV home with organizations like them. Their level of service is admirable and something that definitely resonates with us."
Not only was Scorpion one of two main sponsors for the event, but more than 115 employees (and loved ones) participated—sporting bright gold shirts as they showed up bright and early to show their support. In true Scorpion style, many runners actually placed first in their age groups. Richard Greenland placed first in the 60-65 age group (and was the fastest runner over 40!), Spencer Lincoln placed first in the 25-29 age group, and Sarah Pattison placed first in the 18-24 age group. Seasoned runner Ben Fiandaca also placed second overall.
"What really touched my heart this year is what Ben Fiandaca did as he approached the finish line in first place, about to win the whole event," said Internet Marketing Manager Richard Greenland. "He graciously and unselfishly allowed the 12-year-old on his heels the whole race to pass him just before the finish line and gave up his personal victory for a much greater one. Ben went above and beyond for Scorpion and put someone else ahead of himself."
We are proud of Scorpions such as Ben, as well as all of the team members who showed up to support such a great cause. While we love to win (and we do it well), what we love more is being able to participate in events that truly matter and helping make a difference throughout the community. We look forward to continuing to show our support for organizations such as the Michael Hoefflin Foundation and getting sore limbs for years to come.
As Search Engine Marketing Manager Joshua Moore said, "It was an awesome opportunity to come together with other people for a good cause. To see people who had gone through cancer treatment, family of people who currently have cancer, friends, and supporters all joining each other for the same purpose of supporting MHF was cool to see!"

Analyzing aniline dye problems
Forum Responses
Dye stains contain no such binder. They only contain what you put in them. When you create the stain, you add the type of carrier that the stain is designed to be soluble in. Unless you then add the mixture to a compatible finish, you will be left with only the original dye power in and on the wood surface once the carrier dries. Put any one of the solutions (that the dye is meant to be soluble in) on top of that dye and the dye comes back into solution.
Was the rub-on poly oil-based? If so, your oil soluble dye is being brought back into solution when you put on the oil poly and when you move it around by rubbing it, you will transfer the dye to your applicator and remove some (or much) of the color. Keep in mind that your oil dye is also soluble in mineral spirits, the common carrier/thinner in oil poly.
To use aniline dyes properly, you must think through your finish schedule and application method and choose the proper components and methods to insure compatibility. In order to be compatible, you often have to think "incompatible". Sounds confusing, huh? If you want to apply an aniline stain to the wood and then brush or rub over it with a finish, you need to use a finish that is incompatible with the type of stain you are using and then remove ALL the powder that is left on the surface after the carrier dries.
Spray finishers can often get over this obstacle by shooting a dry coat or two over a compatible dye stain because they are in effect, binding (or sealing) the stain to the wood under the dry coats. Too heavy a coat will give the dye a chance to dissolve into solution and bring it right to the top where it will again mix into subsequent heavy coats.
Welcome to aniline dyes. Keep trying and remember "incompatibility" is what often makes these stains "compatible".
I almost forgot your first problem. If you are going to use an oil dye applied and wiped off by hand, it's best to use mineral spirits, a much slower evaporative solution to give you time to spread and even out the color, thereby eliminating streaking. A water dye stain would have been better for this application even though grain raising is brought into the equation.
I would switch to a water based aniline dye. Oil dyes are not light-fast at all, in my experience. Try the Transtints - I think you'll be much happier, now and in the future.
We use aniline dyes mixed in water, sprayed on, wiped off and left to dry, and spray water-base topcoat over the dye, and have no problems. We no longer use oil-base products after using the aniline dyes and would never go back.
Are you spraying the dyes? If not, then stay with Minwax.
Spraying is ideal but if you don't have the equipment, you may want to try lightly brushing on a couple of "wash coats" of thinned shellac over your dye before going to the finish coat. The shellac will help seal the surface over the dye and reduce the amount of color the finish coat takes off. When you have dried dye powder sitting on the surface, any brushed-on wet coat, regardless of its solvent base, is going to pick up some of the dye. The shellac will do this as well, so you may want to make your original color just a bit darker to begin with. I agree that you'll have much better results with water based dyes.

This would have been a post if everything went easily. But it was not easy. Got one trouble. Ok let me start the story.
IntroductionGoogle App Engine (here after GAE) was there for long time at least from 2011 its no more preview. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to play with it. Now since my family went to India during the winter season, I have enough time to play around.
I never thought it would be easy as publishing web site from Visual Studio to Azure in single click. But app engine is simple as one click publish.
First I ensured that it still has free quota. Because being in the Microsoft shop in my day job who embraces Azure a lot, there is no way I will be hosting an application into Google cloud. So its for my personal use and for personal use I never wanted to pay money. Oh except my domain and hosting space.
First Python application targeting Google App EngineThen I started with the below basics on Python based GAE development and how to publish a simple Python web app into GAE.
Then setup the environment. I already had Python 2.7. So installed only the GAE SDK.
Its very simple. Once we install the SDK. It will provide us an option to run our web site locally. Once we are satisfied we can push to app engine ie cloud
The helloworld sample in google help is very preliminary. So googled for little higher startup sample and I got the below link.
In the above link I was able to see some more better sample which deal with html files as well. I took that did some modification in html and tried to run from local app engine server. It worked fine.
DeploymentThen I tried to deploy to real GAE by clicking on the Deploy button in the GAE launcher. It opened the browser and I entered my google credentials. But unfortunately it didn't publish to my app engine. The window stayed as is with the below message
If your browser is on a different machine then exit and re-run this
application with the command-line parameter
Then googled with error and language Python. Then I got another workaround to a known issue.
If the local development server is running we will not be able to deploy to GAE. I just stopped the local server and deployed. It worked.
The public url is as follows

In this volume, noted theologian Ron Sider lets the testimony of the early church speak. It offers a thorough, comprehensive treatment on topics of perennial concern—war, abortion, and capital punishment—providing English translations for all extant data directly relevant to the treatment of these issues by the early church until Constantine. Primarily, it draws data from early church writings, but other evidence, such as archaeological finds and Roman writings, is included. The book contains brief introductions to every Christian writer cited and explanatory notes on many specific texts. The Early Church on Killing will be a helpful text in courses on ethics, theology, and church history.
In the Logos edition, this volume is enhanced by amazing functionality. Scripture citations link directly to English translations, and important terms link to dictionaries, encyclopedias, and a wealth of other resources in your digital library. Perform powerful searches to find exactly what you're looking for. Take the discussion with you using tablet and mobile apps. With Logos Bible Software, the most efficient and comprehensive research tools are in one place, so you get the most out of your study.
In this very important work, Ron Sider returns to his roots as a church historian to offer an exceedingly careful, measured study of the literary evidence left by the early church on the morality of killing. This volume is entirely free of propaganda or polemics, following the evidence where it leads. This deceptively brief, highly disciplined study should prove to be authoritative in this field.
—David P. Gushee, distinguished university professor of Christian ethics, Center for Theology and Public Life, Mercer University
In a most helpful way and with an evident knowledge of the primary sources, Ronald Sider presents in translation a comprehensive sourcebook of early Christian statements on the issues of abortion, capital punishment, and military service. . . . Sider confronts the reader with the relevant texts themselves and so allows us to make our own independent judgment on the important question of the early church's position on these difficult and yet highly relevant themes. This book will be an asset in the libraries of pastors and laypeople alike and a welcome text in college and seminary classrooms.
—William C. Weinrich, professor of historical theology, Concordia Theological Seminary
The question of 'killing' has been a contested and debated issue from the earliest years of the church's history. May Christians serve in the military? Is abortion ever justifiable? What of the question of capital punishment? Ron Sider has produced an invaluable handbook of primary source material from an ancient Christian perspective that can serve the entire church well as we continue to face these thorny and often heartrending questions in a modern context.
—Christopher A. Hall, chancellor, Eastern University
In a time when violent death is all too common and wars of choice are undertaken all too readily, it is bracing to be reminded by this cloud of witnesses from the early church of the value that early Christians placed on human life and the severe judgments they issued on those who took it without cause.
—Harold W. Attridge, Sterling Professor of Divinity, Yale Divinity School
Ronald J. Sider is a distinguished professor of theology, holistic ministry, and public policy at Palmer Theological Seminary. He is the author of many books, including the bestselling Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger and The Scandal of the Evangelical Conscience.

02. Progressiveness and the 1979 Revolution
In 1986, in a series of articles entitled "Progressiveness in the Present Epoch", I wrote that the 1979 Revolution of Iran was a reversal of a Modern Times' synonymy of Revolution and Progress, a concurrence which was assumed as a given, since the American 1775 and the French 1789 Revolutions, and remarked that with Iran's 1979 Revolution, this synonymy was now reversed, and noted that the world may need a new Immanuel Kant to formulate this reversal, when the retrogression, rather than progress, has become the epitome of a major political revolution in Iran.
It is noteworthy that Kant never bothered writing about revolutions, till the American and French Revolutions happened, and before those events, when writing on topics of armed conflicts, his topics were war and peace between different states, and not revolutions internal to a state. Kant's formulations of his ideal state and individual rights were in reference to a state of affairs achieved thru reform and *not* revolution.
Therefore, Kant's support of American and French Revolutions was not because of his partiality for revolutions. In fact, the opposite was true that he was *not* a revolutionary, yet he supported those revolutions, *only* because he saw the ideals that he had advocated for years, such as the ideals of individual rights, were achieved thru those revolutions.
Kant's desire was to achieve his goals through reform in Germany, therefore as noted, Kant's support of those revolutions was not because of him being a revolutionary, which he was *not*, but was because of the progressive ideals which were pursued by those revolutions. I will explain more below, but let me first return to my main point about Iran's 1979 Revolution.
As noted in "Progressiveness in the Present Epoch", *not* all the forces in Iran's 1979 Revolution were seeking reactionary goals, but the *main* forces of the revolution sought reactionary goals. In contrast, the main forces of the American and French Revolutions sought progressive goals, such as individual rights, civil society, and fairness. It is noteworthy to mention that in contrast, in those revolutions, there were also other forces, that pursued reactionary goals, but they were *not* the main forces of the American and French revolutions.
Basically the main forces of Iran's1979 Revolution were *against* the social rights of an individual, and even the Shah's regime, which they opposed, honored social freedom (not political freedom), more than these forces. This is why the Islamists started wiping out the social rights, from the first days after the success of the 1979 revolution, with the slogan of "yA roosari, yA toosari" (meaning either wear a scarf or be hit on your head), when suppressing the demonstration of women in Tehran, a month after the February 1979 Revolution.
And the Islamists spoke of Islamic principle of "amre beh maroof va nahi az monker" (advocate virtues and prohibit the vices), an Islamic principle which became the rule of social conduct in Iran under the rule of Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI), and it was used to suppress the individual social rights of every citizen in Iran, by the revolutionary guards and other organs of morality police, the state organs with the mandate of upholding virtues and crushing the vices.
If during the Shah's regime, only the political rights of the individual were suppressed, the new Islamic state would not even stop at political rights and decided on how people should eat, dress, or have sex, and even decided how people should live inside their own house.
A total reactionary turn of social life in Iran ushered in with the 1979 Revolution, and it was spearheaded by the strong presence of Islamists in the revolution, thanks to Shah's blocking of formation of democratic organizations in the three decades prior to the 1979 Revolution, leaving the mosques unchallenged, as the center of social resistance to Shah's regime.
When looking at the French and American Revolutions more closely, although there were some reactionary forces on the side of the revolution, *but* the main forces on the side of the revolution sought progressive goals, such as the *individual rights* and civil society. Whereas in the 1979 Iranian Revolution, although there were some progressive forces on the side of the revolution, *but* the main forces on the side of the revolution, sought reactionary goals of suppressing *individual freedoms*, and replacing civil society with an Islamic ommat.
In other words, the French and American revolutions became the epitome of the ideals which Kant had called for in his writings, to be achieved by *reform*. Basically being progressive has nothing to do with being a revolutionary or a reformist. Kant was trying to attain his ideal social norms through *reform* in Germany of the successor of Frederick the Great, Frederick William II. Nonetheless, Frederick William II, contrary to Frederick the Great, had no respect for individual rights, and even had banned Kant from writing on religious matters, after Kant's publication of his 1793 Religion within the Limits of Reason Alone, and the fact that as long as King Frederick William II was alive, Kant did not write on religion.
Thus ironically, Kant's ideals were achieved sooner by the revolutions in America and France, than by the reforms he had hoped for in Germany. And Kant's support of those revolutions, was not because of being revolutionary, which he was not, but was because of his support for the progressive ideals achieved by those revolutions.
Kant was a symbol of a democratic-minded individual doing his utmost to work by civil *obedience*, and the only reason he supported the American and French Revolutions, was because he saw them to usher in the ideals which he viewed as necessary for a modern state, and *not* because of liking to advocate civil disobedience and revolutions, which he did not.
For Kant, *progress* was important, whether it was achieved by reform or revolution, although he preferred it to be achieved by reform. In other words a revolution can be as much reactionary as a reform and vice versa, a revolution can be as much progressive as a a reform.
In contrast,, many who supported the Iranian 1979 Revolution *forgot* about the *ideals* the revolution was seeking, and did not ask if the ideals were progressive or reactionary, and they just supported it, just because it was a revolution to overthrow the dictatorial and corrupt regime of the Shah, and not because the revolution sought progressive and democratic ideals, which it did not.

Editor's Note: Earlier this week a little boy named Jay Ryon went viral within the University of Florida community. When his Aunt tweeted the picture below. Lots of special Gator-related things are about to happen for Jay, and we for one are ecstatic for him!!!
All the feels! #GoGators

— Gator Content from (@OurTwoBits) September 29, 2015
In the midst of college football season we get caught up in the hype of our affinity for sports and we sometimes tend to forget the important things in life. We forget that life is bigger than football and records and rivalries. What 8 year old Jay Ryon has shown me is that life is much bigger than anything I could have ever fathomed.
Jay Ryon was a kid that loved going to Disney World, playing soccer, being a cub scout, and of course, he is a huge Gator fan. Saturday's in the Ryon household were filled with cheers of orange and blue. Jay grew up, like many other kids in Central Florida, idolizing Tim Tebow and loving Gator football. Jay's parents, Maggie and Nick Ryon took Jay to Gator games and Orlando Solar Bear hockey games regularly. Jay was a normal young boy that loved sports and being outdoors. He was so full of life and joy with two loving parents, spending weekends at his uncle's house in Homosassa and playing with friends.
In January 2014, life threw Jay and his family a curveball that many never even think could be possible. Little Jay Ryon had a bruise on the back of leg that wouldn't go away. It looked different than a normal bruise and it concerned Jay's parents, Maggie and Nick. They took Jay to his pediatrician to have it looked at. His doctor sent Jay to get blood work and some x-rays done, but assured Maggie and Nick that it was all precautionary. The x-rays came back negative and blood work was normal. But after some further testing Maggie and Nick got news that would change their lives forever. Jay Ryon was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at 7 years old. The doctors discovered that his blood had so much cancer in it that Jay was considered high risk and his cancer was so severe that he needed to begin treatments immediately. He was immediately admitted into Florida Hospital and given 3 blood transfusions and chemotherapy treatment.
Jay and his parents were taking on the toughest opponent anyone can face in life. Not even Gator greats like Kevin Carter, Javon Kearse, Brandon Spikes, or Jack Youngblood could be prepared to stop this. Jay's parents looked to their faith in God to help get them through a tragedy only seemingly real in parents' worst nightmares. Jay has received over 800 doses of chemotherapy and has spent 122 nights in the hospital since being diagnosed. While other kids are enjoying picnics and playgrounds, little Jay Ryon was enduring something that is indescribable. It was through Jay's love of the Gators and Florida football that kept his spirits high during these most trying times. Jay in his hospital bed, decorated with Gators colors, would dream of one day meeting Tim Tebow and playing quarterback at the University of Florida just like his hero did. Jay has an unbelievable support system starting with his parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and the UF family.
In May 2014, Jay and his family got some refreshing and incredible news. Jay's cancer had gone into remission. After tears, sadness, and heartbreak there was finally hope. God had answered their prayers. Hopefully Jay would soon be able to resume the normal life he had once enjoyed and the life he deserved. After more months of preventative chemotherapy doses, Jay had a setback. In February of this year Jay was bitten by a fire ant, and due to his weakened immune system, Jay had a serious infection. Jay would receive a course of antibiotics that would last 107 days and he had to cease his chemotherapy doses due to the infection. Jay is now 8 years old and has since recovered from that horrific infection and is on tract to being "cancer free" in less than 2 years. Jay still receives monthly chemotherapy doses and is still battling a giant that only David could slay.
Jay has not been able to attend any football games in 2 years due to his weak immune system and treatments, but his family is hopeful on taking him to a game later this year when the Gators host Vanderbilt in The Swamp on Saturday, November 7. Gator football has been such an important part of Jay's story and that is why it needs to be shared with Gator Nation. We are more than sports, books, and colors. We are a family.
I hope we can all learn a lesson from hearing Jay Ryon's story: no matter what you think may be important going on in your life right now….. life is much bigger than you could ever imagine. Much, much bigger.
A special thanks to Jay's "Aunt Kathryn" for assisting me in writing this piece.

A handful of footballers end up travelling the globe in the course of their careers, but a star player with triple nationality is something of a rarity. Kevin Kuranyi is one of what must surely be an elite group, as the prolific centre-forward does indeed hold three different passports.
The former Germany international was born in Brazilian city Rio de Janeiro back in March 1982, but spent his early youth in Panama, before moving to Germany with his family in 1997. He made the grade as a pro footballer during a spell with Stuttgart, working his way up through the youth section and honing his talent in the reserves, before breaking into the senior squad in 2001.
Golden spell at club levelKuranyi made his full international debut for Germany two years later and helped Stuttgart to the runners-up spot in the Bundesliga. Consistently strong displays at national and international level then earned the 6'2" front-man a big-money move to Schalke prior to the 2005/06 campaign.
Once in a royal blue shirt, the goal-getter continued to deliver. In 162 appearances for Schalke, Kuranyi netted 71 goals and made a significant contribution to an excellent run for the Gelsenkirchen outfit that included a UEFA Cup semi-final in 2005/06, second place in the league in 2006/07, and the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals in 2007/08.
Kuranyi passed a personal milestone in January 2010 when he scored his tenth top-flight goal of the campaign, meaning he had reached double figures in the Bundesliga for the eighth consecutive season. The only players previously to achieve the feat were Gerd Muller (13 in a row) and Manfred Burgsmuller (ten).
Move to MoscowAt the tail-end of the 2009/10 season, the striker announced he was leaving the Ruhr valley in favour of the Russian top flight and Dinamo Moscow. Speaking exclusively to FIFA.com, Kuranyi explained the background to the somewhat unexpected switch.
"Leaving Gelsenkirchen wasn't an easy decision, but the move itself wasn't a problem," he said. "I think that's partly because I've lived in so many different countries already, and also because my wife Viktorija speaks fluent Russian, which made a lot of things much easier."
The player settled to his new private circumstances with some ease, but his time on the field was not as productive as his spells in Stuttgart and Schalke. Kuranyi finished the season with nine goals in 16 appearances, but he and his new club failed to secure a European qualifying berth after Dinamo finished the 2010 campaign in a disappointing seventh spot.
"Our target was fifth place, but unfortunately we missed it by a couple of points," said the striker, who nonethelss feels the future holds plenty of promise for Dinamo. "We definitely made a lot of progress compared to the summer. We steadily improved and we didn't lose to any of the top teams, so we're heading in the right direction. If we can strengthen the team in two or three specific positions, we can be mixing it at the top next season."
Everyone knows I want to play, and everyone can see I'm delivering the goods. The rest is out of my hands.
The striker, voted Player of the Year by Dinamo fans, formed a promising partnership with Andriy Voronin, a player he knows well from his Bundesliga days. The Ukraine hitman spent many years in Germany with a long list of clubs including Mainz, Bayer Leverkusen and Hertha Berlin.
Voronin has clearly been a valuable friend and guide to the ex-Germany international. "We get along very well, both on and off the field," Kuranyi told FIFA.com. "Andriy was and remains a great help to me, because he speaks excellent German. And more importantly than that, he's a great guy."
The player's take on his first six months in the Russian capital is definitely upbeat. "I made the decision to come to Russia, and I've never regretted it," he said. "The only thing that bothers me is the way people dismiss the game here. Russian football is a lot better than its overseas reputation. Russian clubs' success in Europe says it all."
Kuranyi and his family are relaxing and enjoying the close season at present, before the player reports back to his club for pre-season training in a few weeks' time. The new campaign does not begin until March, and for Kuranyi, who went straight from the end of term in western Europe to mid-season in the east, it is a very welcome interlude.
"I'm not particularly bothered by the weather, but it's obviously right to make it a long winter break here. People always go on and on about how much snow we have here, but conditions were fine right up to the final matchday – and we don't play in the depths of winter. It's all OK," he explained.
Germany comeback not ruled outKuranyi's chief priority for now is to recharge his batteries and be ready for the new campaign. However, the subject of Germany and whether he might still make an international comeback are never far from his thoughts, and justifiably so in the light of the 28-year-old's consistently fine form.
The striker last pulled on a Germany shirt on 6 September 2008. However, after he was overlooked for a meeting with Russia a month later and stormed out of the stadium without permission, coach Joachim Low expelled him from the national squad and has not relaxed his stance since. Kuranyi failed to feature at the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, not for disciplinary reasons according to Low, but because he was not the right man for the coach's tactical system.
So, does the player who has twice featured at UEFA EUROs hold out any hope of resuming his international career? "I still believe it in my heart – and it's probably in the back of my mind too," said the 52-times capped striker. "But I'm refusing to let it become a distraction. Everyone knows I want to play, and everyone can see I'm delivering the goods. The rest is out of my hands."
Happy in new home
On the subject of the global game, Kuranyi was among those glued to his TV set on 2 December 2010 for the announcement of the host nations for the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup finals, as Russia were among four candidates to stage the world's greatest sporting event in 2018.
And when FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter named Russia as hosts for the tournament seven years from now, the outpouring of joy in Moscow and the whole of the republic knew no bounds. The German striker said he absolutely agrees with the decision, and thoroughly welcomes it too.
"In the first instance, I'm overjoyed for the Russian fans, because they deserve an event like this," said Kuranyi as the interview drew to a close. "The World Cup will mean the construction of wonderful new stadiums or the total renovation of existing ones. It'll give society as a whole a real shot in the arm, but it'll change the way the outside world looks at the country too. It'll bring in visitors from all over the world, and they'll find out that Russia is a remarkable country."

The Happy New Year 2008 is not far away, but why do we celebrate the New Year now and not at some other time?
N.S. Gill at about.com has a nice posting about the Julian Calendar and the Julius Caesar (?) Calendar Reform at
Prior to that calendar reform,
whenever it actually happened (see below),
ancient chronology is a mess,
and one of the things that we are trying to do at LexiLine
is to draw attention to obvious errors that have been made
in formulating the timeline of man's ancient history
and to suggest some obvious corrections.
See e.g. a new source out of Egypt
for evidence that the calendar reform ascribed to Caesar occurred even earlier
and then look at more evidence concerning the errors committed by mainstream academia in assigning a chronology to Moses, etc. and the consequences of those errors
that previous link being the long version with King Tut (Tutankhamon) - with the short version here at Moses and Exodus
and then view my Absolute Chronology of the World by Astronomy at
and see in that regard the ancient Egyptian chronology of Manetho at
and see also my comments on the erroneous Maya chronology of mainstream Maya scholars at
as related to the Pharaonic calendric count at
That is enough material to suggest some of the major problems (and possible solutions) that exist in chronology.
There is definitely still a lot of "calendric work" to be done before we have man's history and calendration right.

Granny Costume

|Costumes for Men
This homemade costume for men entered our 2013 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Daniel, the 'Granny' costume creator:
I decided to follow up my "church lady" costume idea from a previous year with this granny costume. I made the booty by taping a pillow to a belt. The chest is made from filling a pair of pantyhose with birdseed, tying them together and wearing them around he neck, letting them hang loose. I then picked up the rest of the items at a local Goodwill: old housecoat, bedroom slippers, walker, and eyeglasses.
The costume was a big hit when we went to the local bingo hall which was holding a costume contest. I won that contest and all night long had people of all ages wanting a photo with me. One elderly man joked that I looked just like his ex wife, not sure if that was a good thing or bad thing.

The Mt. Lebanon school district, you may recall, is one of those districts -- like my very own Upper St. Clair -- that decided not to let its students see President Obama's stay-in-school speech last week.
But guess what? According to KDKA-TV, just days later, Lebo did have an event in whch grade schoolers observed the anniversary of 9/11. And what did the personnel at Markham Elementary teach their kids?
[T]he lesson they teach on this day isn't so much a history lesson. It is more of a public service appreciation lesson.
Ha! Sounds like fascism to me! "Public service appreciation"? They have that in Red China. What next? An invitation to join the Young Pioneers? Or -- God forbid -- Americorps?
But the high point of the story is this:
The officers and principal said the lesson they most want the post-9/11 generation to learn about is respecting community service.
Right. Respecting community service. I know that's a real priority over there in Mt. Lebanon. Unless that service takes the form of being the President of the United States of America. In which case -- repeat after me, class -- fuck that guy.
I want to be fair about this. Apparently, at least one student's family lost a family member in the 9/11 attacks. And you know, I think it's nice for kids to meet police and firefighters. Up until a week ago, I wouldn't have given this story any thought.
But now? Now I'm thinking this is just the kind of bullshit partisan double-standard that is about to torpedo this country for good. I can't help but wonder -- did parents have the option to pull their kids out of this event? Wouldn't the kids be better off if they HAD been reading their history books? Because suddenly, it seems, if authority figures want to speak to students, there are all sorts of educational standards to meet.
And hey, if a speech about staying in schools is supposed to partisan, let's not pretend 9/11 can't be used the same way. Iraq, anyone? The latest round of Tea Party buffoonery on 9/12?
Note to President Obama: Next time you want to be treated with respect by school officials, play it safe and bring a copy of My Pet Goat.

Matt Wallace has been named as the new Producing Artistic Director of Kentucky Shakespeare. Wallace has been involved with Kentucky Shakespeare (formerly The Kentucky Shakespeare Festival) since 2001 in various capacities, including lead roles in several summer productions, artistic associate, and as director of Richard III, the Festival's 50th anniversary production in 2010.
The Bowling Green, KY native has worked extensively with Derby Dinner Playhouse as both an actor and as Director of Children's Theatre and Audience Development. He is the current Artistic Director of Shakespeare Behind Bars (SBB), a program founded by former KY Shakes Producing Artistic Director Curt Tofteland.
Wallace takes the reins of Kentucky Shakespeare following the unexpected departure of former Producing Artistic Director Brantley Dunaway. Dunaway resigned suddenly in July amidst controversy surrounding the premature closing of the summer production Twelfth Night in Central Park.

Cloud Expo New York
A cloud spot market allows commercial cloud service providers the ability to announce surplus or idle processing and storage capacity to a cloud exchange. The exchange allows buyers to locate available cloud processing capacity, negotiate prices (within milliseconds), and deliver the commodity to customers on-demand.
Cloud processing and storage spot markets can be privately operated, controlled by industry organizations, or potentially government agencies. Spot markets frequently attract speculators, as cloud capacity prices are known to the public immediately as transactions occur.
The 2010 cloud spot market allows commercial cloud service providers to support both franchise (dedicated service level agreement) customers, as well as on-demand customers to participate in a spot market that allows customers to automatically move their applications and storage to providers offering the best pricing and service levels based on a pre-defined criteria.
I don't really care who's CPUs and disk I am using, I really only care that it is there when I want it, offers adequate performance, has proximity to my end users, and meets my pricing expectations.
Cloud Storage Using SSDs on the Layer 2 Switch
Content delivery networks/CDNs want to provide end users the best possible performance and quality – often delivering high volume video or data files. Traditionally CDNs build large storage arrays and processing systems within data centers, preferably adjacent to either a carrier hotel meet-me-room or Internet Exchange Point/IXP.
Sometimes supported by bundles of 10Gigabit ports connecting their storage to networks and the IXP.
Lots of recent discussion on topics such as Fiber Channel over Ethernet/FCoE and Fiber Channel over IP/FCoIP. Not good enough. I want the SSD manufacturers and the switch manufacturers to produce an SSD card with a form factor that fits into a slot on existing Layer 2 switches. I want a Petabyte of storage directly connected to the switch backplane allowing unlimited data transfer rates from the storage card to network ports.
Now a cloud storage provider does not have to buy 50 cabinets packed with SAN/NAS systems in the public data center, only slots in the switch.
3tera got the ball rolling with IPv6 support in AppLogic. No more excuses. IPv6 support first, then add on IPv4 support as a failover to IPv6. The basic criteria to all other design issues. No IPv6 – then shred the design.
Cloud Standardization
Once again the world is being held hostage by equipment and software vendors posturing to make their product the industry standard. The user community is not happy. We want spot markets, the ability to migrate among cloud service providers when necessary, and a basis for future development of the technology and industry.
The IP protocols were developed through the efforts of a global community dedicated to making the Internet grow into a successful utility. Almost entirely supported through a global community of volunteers, the Internet Engineering Task Force and innovators banded together and built a set of standards (RFCs) for all to use when developing their hardware and applications.
Of course there were occasional problems, but their success is the Internet as it is today.
Standardization is critical in creating a productive development environment for cloud industry and market growth. There are several attempts to standardize cloud elements, and hopefully there will be consolidation of those efforts into a common framework.
Included in the efforts are the Distributed Management Task Force/DMTF Open Cloud Standards Incubator, Open Grid Forum's Open Cloud Computing Interface working group, The Open Group Cloud Work Group, The Open Cloud Manifesto, the Storage Network Industry Association Cloud Storage Technical Work Group, and others.
Too many to be effective, too many groups serving their own purposes, and we still cannot easily write cloud applications that find the lower levels of cloud X as a Service/XaaS proprietary.
What is on your 2010 wish list?
