iTunes Review

This prolific composer from Culiacán, Mexico, draws on his own tragic life experiences for inspiration, which is why narcocorrido murder narratives such as “El Crimen de Culiacan” ring with authenticity. On the title track, an accordion wobbles with drunken inspiration behind a wounded tenor that revels in the fragility of life, while songs such as “Me Persigue Tu Sombra” echo like an unplugged blues number ricocheting to the rhythm of a waltz. These songs are haunting yet inspirational in their artfulness and sense of fortitude.

Customer Reviews

This app is almost good. You can't check your order history or track your packages after they ship without going to the pacsun website. It's kind of pointless to have this app when you can't do everything you can on the website. You can sign into your rewards on the website, so you don't need the app to get rewards and you can track your order and review your order history on the website so the app is really just pointless. Also if you order through the app. they won't send you a order confirmation email. You only get a confirmation email for your order and when it ships when you order from the website. So again the app is utterly pointless.

I never shopped at PacSun before I went to I was walking by and I saw something in the window so I decided to take a look and not realizing that they had all my favorite brands that I like to wear. PacSun is one of my favorite place to shop now either online or in store

Barely Usable

This app needs some serious work. I do primarily all my shopping online, so an easy to use app is a must for me.

The biggest issue for me was that you can't sort by size, color, best reviewed, or price high-low/vice versa. That makes looking for what I want a major hassle. You can only sort by brand? In what universe is that more helpful?

Also you cannot go back to a previous item by selecting it in your cart at check out, and god forbid something sell out before you can buy it. If you have multiple items in your cart and one sells out it doesn't notify you which one, or remove it for you. So you have to start all over by removing everything.

This app looks nice, but is a nightmare to use.

GPS no longer working in iOS 9.3.4

Update- On my new iPhone 7, gps is working. In the location services selection of the app there are only two options: never or always. Why does the app need to ALWAYS KNOW WHERE I AM? Please add "while using the app" option. I have enough battery issues on top of all my ridiculous conspiracy theories. Thank you

After updating my iPhone 6 operating system to iOS 9.3.4, the app is useless as it no longer tracks my location. I see my blue dot on the map but it does not track me as I move. I am aware that this may strictly be an iOS issue and nothing to do with Runtastic, however I hope your staff is aware of the problem and someone, somewhere is working to resolve my complaint.

This one's a keeper!

I've used SEVERAL fitness, running & cycling apps over the past few months trying to find something that provides me with the flexibility & functionality while using my Apple Watch. For me, the ability to select between several different activities and access workout history on the watch sealed the deal. It also integrates seamlessly with the built-in Apple Activity app so all my workouts are saved in the Health app.

Interval improvements

Please include an option to exclude warm-up/cool-down as well as rest periods when calculation pace/speed. I want to see my sustained rate by interval. (1 star off)

Please allow use of Apple Watch to track heart rate when starting from phone instead of forcing Runtastic heart rate monitor. Either that, or allow more starting intervals from Apple Watch. (1 star off)

Update: starting from Apple Watch doesn't even allow you to track your heart rate. This seems very intentional, not like a limitation of engineering talent. Managers, please allow heart rate tracking on watch the same way Runkeeper tracks your heart rate.

Update 2: I have no idea what is different, but my heart rate was tracked by my Apple Watch during the last run I did even though I started it from my phone. Maybe it is because I did a free run rather than intervals.

Top Critics' Reviews

Fresh: Mr. Reynor's portrayal of this man-child is an extraordinary screen performance in which his face registers all the conflicting emotions gripping Richard. We see every layer of him, from the scared inner child to the suave, entitled ladies' man. – Stephen Holden, New York Times, May 9, 2013

Fresh: A low-key but compelling morality tale. – Leslie Felperin, Variety, May 15, 2013

Great film

I hope this film gets some publicity. It was beautifully told and acted. Reynor definitely has a career in acting ahead of him!

Great Film. Breakout Performance by Jack Raynor

After seeing the trailer for this film, I was really looking forward to it, and it did not disappoint. American made films tend to have too many talking heads and forget that it's a visual medium. Jack Raynor did more with one look than most actors say throughout the entire film, and kudos to the director to capture those moments. There wasn't a false moment. Richard's spiral was raw, gritty, and the moments of isolation and madness were powerful. The confession scene with his father was magnificent.

Jack has a great future in film, and he will be acting circles around Mark Wahlberg (which doesn't take much) in the upcoming Transformers sequel.

Kudos to the rest of the cast as well, especially the love interest and the actor playing Connor. And to the director, thanks for staying true to the craft and for telling a such a haunting, provocative and evocative story.

What Richard Did

Thought provoking, in your head film. How one thing can change your life forever, so using extra care in how you interact in your daiy life, is crucial. Think, before you act, look, before you leap, etc. Acting was great. I found Jake's character refreshing, too. Pace was nice, for the emotional build up.

Hot Issue — Voice of Russia Campaigns for Removal of Romanian President Basescu

President Traian Basescu (Source: EPA)

Executive Summary

While the Romanian state has been struggling with a constitutional crisis pitting President Traian Basescu against the Social-Liberal Union (SLU) government of Victor Ponta, the Kremlin mouthpiece Voice of Russia has increasingly been instigating and drawing out the conflict. President Basescu survived the referendum on his removal due to low turnout, but Ponta’s government continues to uphold the President’s suspension. The constitutional crisis has drawn widespread criticism in the West, while Voice of Russia has repeatedly and harshly attacked the embattled Basescu, alleging the President’s record was deleterious to Romania’s political, economic, security and foreign policy interests, as well as urged the SLU to hastily remove Basescu from power. However, as the Ponta government has been unable to complete its full ouster of Basescu, Moscow seems to be losing its patience with the SLU, and may simply be content with maintaining political uncertainty in Romania for as long as possible.

Romania is experiencing a constitutional crisis and a crisis of governance in recent months, on top of the three-year-old economic crisis. A new government is occupied with amassing formal and informal powers for its own politicians and removing the Western-oriented President Traian Basescu from office, ahead of parliamentary elections. Basescu’s team has brought Romania into close alignment with the United States. But his firm support for anti-crisis austerity measures has sapped his popularity. Romania’s pro-Western political consensus looks more fragile with the crisis, and Moscow is instigating Basescu’s opponents to remove him from office, although he has more than two years to go in his presidential term.

Brussels and Washington are expressing serious concerns about Romania’s political crisis. On August 12, US Assistant Secretary of State Philip Gordon flew to Bucharest for an emergency visit, demonstrating support for Basescu’s stand on the constitution. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland and the US Ambassador to Romania Mark Gitenstein have repeatedly cautioned the new government against further transgressions of the constitutional framework. European Commission President Manuel Barroso, European Justice Commissioner Viviane Reding, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Foreign Affairs Minister Guido Westerwelle, and Council of Europe officials are among those who expressed concern. The European Commission has made public a list of 11 transgressions of the constitution, urging corrective steps. The US State Department has declared its full agreement with the EU on this score. Widely publicized by Romanian media, those Western criticisms have forced the new government on the defensive internationally, but not domestically.

Russia is encouraging the new government in Bucharest to press harder for Basescu’s removal. Moscow seeks to exploit this crisis as an opportunity to change Romania’s foreign and economic policies. According to widespread reports in the Romanian press, a group of parliamentarians from Basescu’s party defected to the other camp in April, when a familiar Russian political operative visited them. This move toppled the government by shifting the parliamentary majority toward the Social-Liberal Union (SLU), a coalition comprised of the Social-Democrat Party (SDP) and the National-Liberal Party (NLP).

SLU’s top leaders are not “pro-Russia” (no Romanian politician would fit that description); but neither are they associated with a value-based Western orientation. The Social-Democrat party has all but marginalized its former leader, the staunchly pro-Western Mircea Geoana, who in a New York Times op-ed (August 3) rose above the fray to caution against the USL’s “blitzkrieg, changing laws and institutions.” NATO, the EU and close partnership with the United States are the bedrock of Foreign Policy for Basescu’s team ever since it took office in 2004. The SLU’s inexperienced leaders have yet to prove themselves on that account; but their all-absorbing priority at this stage is to consolidate and re-distribute power after their lean opposition years. They tend to react petulantly to objections from Western officials. Russia is encouraging the new government to act that way. Moscow is cheering the new government along (see below).

The new government under Victor Ponta started out by appointing Andrei Marga Minister of Foreign Affairs who called for a unilateral Romanian rapprochement with Russia and who praised President Vladimir Putin as being superior to European leaders. Marga, a philosophy professor with no foreign policy experience, was dropped after several months, in one of the new government’s constant reshuffles. Questions persist about the real considerations behind that decorative appointment.

On July 6, the new parliamentary majority voted to suspend President Basescu from office and to hold a referendum on July 29 on Basescu’s removal from office. No charges are filed against him; his presidential term expires in late 2014; he proposed all along a European-type “cohabitation” arrangement of president and government belonging to different parties. However, the USL team decided to capture the state presidency for National-Liberal leader Crin Antonescu as fast as possible, in preparation for the November 2012 parliamentary elections. Basescu had lost his popularity with voters as a result of severe austerity measures implemented during his presidency. However, he survived the referendum: although 88 percent of the votes cast were against him, the voter turnout at 47 percent fell short of the 50 percent quorum. Nevertheless, Antonescu has become interim head of state while Basescu remains suspended from office, pending a solution to the constitutional crisis. The SLU is trying to change the rules of the game, including the quorum rule, and remove Basescu anyway, but the party hesitates in the face of Western criticism.

The Voice of Russia (hereafter VR) has played an important role during the referendum, and continues to do so as the crisis unfolds. This is unprecedented in Romania, a country in which Russian propaganda is traditionally mocked without being listened to. This time around, however, the Romanian political elite of all colors pays attention because this Russian government outlet is campaigning for the USL government, against Basescu and against Western influence in Romania.

VR’s main line of attack consists of identifying Basescu with Western-inspired policies and depict those policies across the board as contravening Romania’s national interests. On that basis, Voice of Russia has urged Basescu’s opponents to mobilize against him and change Romania’s policies (;

“Traian Basescu has been a perfect vassal to the United States. He sent troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, allowed the anti-missile shield to be installed, turned Romania into a priority target for Russia’s nuclear missiles, launched verbal attacks against Russia, and promoted American interests in European decision-making institutions….Basescu [is] the ideal, indeed perfect, US vassal” (VR, July 12).

“A success for Basescu would result in a territorial conquest by European supporters of US military programs in Eastern Europe. US Ambassador Mark Gitenstein’s critical statements against the Ponta government […] are in line with American political-military interests in Eastern Europe, those interests that Basescu has loyally served. [Romania’s] national interests are no longer being pursued in the country through its institutions, but are closely subordinated to trans-Atlantic interests” (VR, July 24).

“Because of Basescu’s and Romanian diplomacy’s grave errors, Romanian consumers pay the highest price in the EU for Russian natural gas” (VR, July 30).

“Romania’s political class and society [have been] extremely servile toward the European Commission and IMF, executing any orders from them unconditionally, and without a negative reaction from the population… But the referendum demonstrated that servility toward European institutions has some limits” (VR, August 2).

 “The highest treason is Romania’s enslavement to the European Union and the United States” (VR, August 3).

Voice of Russia has egged on the SLU leaders while chiding them for insufficient firmness:

“If [the SLU] had resisted foreign pressures regarding the quorum, Traian Basescu would have been deposed. The SLU team still has real chances to remove Basescu, but it must act forcefully, not in a defeatist way… The Constitutional Court can point to foreign interference as an argument for validating the referendum even short of a quorum. Ultimately, there is the option of organizing street protests. If SLU politicians are passive and accept the idea of ‘cohabitation,’ their popular support will quickly disappear. [The] SLU leaders’s behavior will show whether they would betray their voters’ trust and hopes, or will carry on the political struggle with its risks and its benefits until the end” (VR, July 30).

Moscow might, however, be content with Basescu being suspended indefinitely, rather than removed outright, in which case Romania’s constitutional crisis would drag out. Moscow purports to instruct the government and constitutional court:

“The referendum must be validated. The Constitutional Court must choose between formalism and realism. Traian Basescu is a deposed president.” However, “Voters have every right to be dissatisfied with SLU politicians’ performance. What is Mr. Rus doing as Internal Affairs Minister? Is he sleeping? Is he supporting Basescu from within the SDP?” “If four Justices [of the Constitutional Court] are willing to act in the interests of the voters’ majority, the president can be continually kept on the sidelines. Those who voted for his dismissal should be satisfied to see Basescu suspended indefinitely” (VR, August 1).

“Crin Antonescu must act abroad and demonstrate that Romania has spine, to develop foreign policy in all directions, especially toward the East. If the SLU does not take such steps, the people have every right to organize themselves and struggle for a truly democratic state order” (VR, August 3).

Although the SLU holds the main institutions of the state, Voice of Russia sounds frustrated about SLU’s failure to remove Basescu so far:

“Judging by the current situation, it seems as if the Parliament, government, and the [interim] presidency have no powers. […] More than half of Romania’s real population does not want Basescu to be president any longer” (VR, August 8).

Deterioration in Romanian-Hungarian relations would be a geopolitical boon to Moscow. The Voice of Russia appeals to residual anti-Hungarian nationalism among Romanians, depicting Basescu as ready to sacrifice Romanian national interests and territory to Hungary:

“Romania is being ruled from Budapest. […] Romanian voters must keep struggling, or else they will have to accept that their fate depends on Traian Basescu’s and [Hungarian Prime Minister] Viktor Orban’s decisions (VR, July 30). “An agreement exists between Traian Basescu and Hungary’s Prime Minister regarding territorial autonomy for the Szekely land [in Transylvania]” (VR, July 31). Hungary’s authorities “loudly claim a right to destroy Romania and re-draw the borders” (VR, August 8). Basescu’s Liberal-Democrat Party and Hungary’s Fidesz governing party together “are preparing to tear Transylvania away from Romania” (VR, August 15).

Basescu, operating out of a private house and with very limited resources at his disposal, has withstood this situation with characteristic aplomb. Some of his opponents in the media were echoing the Voice of Russia guidance recognizably enough to alert other sections of Romanian public opinion. On August 9, Basescu made a strong statement pointing to this nexus. In response, Voice of Russia offered to interview the suspended president and conducted the interview in Bucharest on August 15.

Chief Editor Sergey Berets challenged Basescu on a wide range of foreign policy issues. Basescu emphasized Romania’s commitments to NATO, the European Union, and the strategic partnership with the United States; he refuted Russia’s objections to the installation of the US anti-missile shield in Romania; demonstrated that the austerity measures were necessary decisions of his government, not imposed from the West; rejected VR’s insinuations that he was sacrificing Romanian national interests to those of Hungary; and reaffirmed Romania’s national interest in joining the Nabucco natural gas project, not Gazprom’s South Stream (VR, August 15).

Toward the interview’s end, VR asked Basescu how he intends to relate to SLU leaders in the event that Basescu remains president (“cohabitation” was his answer). This final line of questioning seems to indicate that Moscow is losing confidence in SLU leaders’ capacity to deliver Basescu’s removal. But the country’s institutional crisis remains unresolved for now.

320-Innovation_fullThe Gray Lady has problems – more than just the firing of Jill Abramson or lack of reporting on Jill Abramson’s demise. It seems the Times is behind the times in all things digital.  On May 15, Buzz Feed leaked the 96-page New York Times Innovation Report that candidly describes the digital struggles and weaknesses of the legendary print icon.    The report focuses on digital providers like Vox, Huffington Post, Business Insider, and BuzzFeed.  The report describes the institutional inertia that is keeping many businesses from embracing the new face of marketing.  And in some terrible irony of ironies, it was that upstart BuzzFeed that leaked the story.

Key learnings for all marketers today.

1.  Beware of Disrupters.  The news biz is changing like all business today.  Once small outsiders like BuzzFeed and  Huffington Post are now garnering more traffic than the Times.  Sound familiar?  Like Amazon, AirBnB, Uber and other disrupters?  The report gives some of the hallmarks of disruptive innovators – introduced by an outsider, less expensive than existing products, targeting new or underserved markets, initially inferior to existing products and advanced by an enabling technology.  Sound familiar in your business category?  Your competition may not be who it was yesterday. Today the New York Times is facing disparate competition such as LinkedIn’s Pulse Publishing platform,  Flipboard’s visual presentation of news, Vox as a collector of live blogging in passionate verticals, or Yahoo News that has hired Katie Couric and repurposes the best of news.

2.  Stories Find Readers Today.  The Times identified a trend showing that users are moving away from browsing and actually expect the news to come to them through social media, mobile notifications, aggregators and more.

Janine Gibson, editor-in-chief of The Guardian’s website says, “The realization that you have to go find your audience — they’re not going to just come and read it — has been transformative.”

Death of the Home Page.   Only a third of readers visit the home page of The New York Times. And those who do visit are spending less time on it. Page views and minutes spent per reader dropped by double-digit percentages in the year 2013.  Where do people see your content?  We cannot expect our website to be the first view of information.

home-page-v-socialNews from Social Media.  Less than 10% of the New York Times traffic comes from social media compared to Buzzfeed who gets 60% of their traffic from social media.  In fact, I read the story about the New York Times report on LinkedIn and Mashable first.

Marketers cannot expect just one media to work for them.  It takes  multiple ways to get your important news out.  Social media, email marketing, guest posts, podcasts, interviews, speaking engagements, search marketing and even advertising, if well timed and placed.

3.  Content Packaging is as Important as the Story.  Journalists have thought that the story is the thing.  Build it and they will come.  But today, a journalist must craft the right story for the audience, understanding the reader relevance.  I was stunned by a story from Forbes writer Kashmir Hill who took an anecdote buried in a 5,000 word article in the times and repackaged it as “How Target Figured Out A Teen Girl Was Pregnant Before Her Father Did.”  Her Forbes article has been viewed 2,455,821 times, and was the chief traffic driver for the Times story.  Crafting the right point of view takes a real understanding of your target audience.  And then, you have to position your story appropriately, with engaging content.

4.  Timing is Everything.  The Times is publishing their best content on a schedule meant for print.  They publish the majority of their content in the late evening, in order for it to make the morning paper, while  the majority of their traffic is in the morning hours. The biggest stories are published on Sundays for the venerable Sunday Paper, even though Sunday is the slowest day for traffic online.  A lesson to marketers here is are you publishing at times when you audience will see them?  In today’s world, the news is a 24-hour operation and news consumers expect to have it on a 24-hour schedule.

5.  Every Story Needs A Promotional Strategy.  All content needs a promotion strategy.  The publishing of the story is just the beginning.  What is the social strategy?  Is there a checklist for publishing that includes search headline, tags, images, pre-written Facebook and Twitter posts?

“Even ProPublica, that bastion of old-school journalism values, goes to extraordinary lengths to give stories a boost. An editor meets with search, social and public relations specialists to develop a promotion strategy for every story. And reporters must submit five tweets along with each story they file.”

How can you repurpose the content?  The Times report tells, “On a whim, Andrew Phelps created a Flipboard magazine of our most important obits of the year and it became the best-read collection in the history of the platform.”  The Gawker took a 161 year old story from The Times to help introduce “12 Years as a Slave”.

Consumers Expect Personalization.   The Times is looking at new engines to foster personalization online.  Increasingly, consumers are expecting to have options served up to them based on preferences.  Can readers follow their favorite columnists?

Engagement is everyone’s job.  A key learning is that you need to engage with your audience – respond to comments, answer emails and converse on social media.  Equally important is looking at the list of influencers that can help spread your message and interact with them.  Or events that help create community.

6.  Silos are out, teams are in.  Here is the telling statement:  “Our Twitter account is run by the newsroom. Our Facebook account is run by the business side.”  Departments need to break down walls and work together.  The refiguring of team is important to create more harmonious efforts.  The Times has recognized the power of collaboration focused on reader experience.  What a wonderful concept!

The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptance.  So, as The Times goes, it seems they are embarking upon an important journey.

§ One Response to What We Can Learn from The New York Times Being Behind the Times

  • Lisa says:

    I must confess that I have mixed feelings about the dilemma the Times is currently experiencing. On the one hand, if it’s going to succeed, the paper needs to alter its approach and find a way to reach out to its readers. It’s falling behind the times in the race to attract visitors via social media, and the plummeting numbers reflect this. On the one hand though, there’s something inherently sad about watching such a venerable institution flounder as it battles to maintain popularity in the digital age, especially when many of its biggest competitors’ homepages feature stories about the most recent upheavals in the lives of celebrities and whom you should avoid inviting to your bachelorette party (some of today’s headlines). In some ways I think the Times’ numbers say more about us than they do about the paper; are we really so incurious about the rest of the world that we can’t be bothered to visit a homepage or actually look at an app already on our phones? The fact that we need to be spoon-fed is, in a way, a tad disturbing. I recently moved to Europe, where an informed populace seems to be pretty much the norm, and I’m always surprised at how much my friends here know about recent events, not just in their own countries, but in the world. Conversely, those who have traveled to the US frequently express astonishment that the news is so local, so American-centered, and so often lacking in substance. It’s rather depressing that one of the few remaining mediums delivering hard news is declining so quickly.

Seiko Velatura SNAA91 and SNAA92

Posted by wristwatch on September 2, 2007

Baselworld 2007 sees the launch of SEIKO Velatura, an important new marine watch collection that will take its place alongside Premier, Sportura and Arctura as an Elite collection, and which will be the centerpiece of the SEIKO campaign in 2007. The two models featured above are the chronograph models of the Velatura collection.

* Alarm can be set on a 12-hour basis with two small hands
* Date calendar
* Chronograph can measure up to 60 minutes in 1/5 seconds. After 60 minutes, it will start counting again from “0” repeatedly up to 12 hours.
* Alarm hands can indicate time in a different time zone
* Sapphire crystal
* Screw down caseback
* Push button release clasp
* 100 meters water resistant

    I wonder if you know where I can get the Seiko SNAA91P1. The only place I see in the US is Luxury Corner and I see your warnings about these folks.

    Thanks for your help.
    I really enjoy your site!

    * Moved from Seiko SAGA007 Limited Edition

  2. wristwatch said

    Hi Michael,

    You can try out Luxury Corner, just be careful. You can also try an authorized Seiko dealer near you. At least with a brick and motar store, you can check out the actual merchandise. Since this is a US model, I’m pretty sure if your Seiko dealer doesn’t have it, they can order it for you.

    Thanks for the kind comments.

  3. Michael said

    Hi Wristwatch:
    I am wondering about the blue SNAA91.
    I have seen a picture with this watch having a very deep blue color. I have also seen images (such as yours) that show the watch to be a lighter blue. Since I cannot seem to find one to look at, do you know the true color?

    Thanks as always,

  4. wristwatch said

    Michael, the SNAA91, has a deep blue color, I guess these pictures on my site here are just computer renditions, they probably used too much light. Check out the pics I attached to the post.

  5. Randy said

    RIGHTTIME.COM has the watch SNAA91 & SNAA92 your looking for.

  6. annemieke said

    We have just purchased this watch and were told that it was kinetic but I am getting mixed information from the usersmanual. Can you tell me more information about whether or not it is kinetic?

  7. John said

    I’m afraid you were misinformed. I have the watch (with the blue face) and it contains Seiko’s 7T62 battery operated movement. Frankly, I’m not sold on the Kinetic design. I favor Citizen’s EcoDrive technology. I have found that this Seiko movement exceeds my expectations. Over the course of about 10 days, the watch has not gained or lost a singel second. Also, the alignment of the hands with the markers on the constant-seconds dial is quite precise. I also like the fact that the movement allow for easy alignment of the second and minute chrono hands with the zero position. I didn’t want to spend the money for a mechanical chronograph, and I don’t think I could be more pleased with any other quartz (unless, perhaps, there is an EcoDrive model with all the Velatura features that I don’t know about). The finishing of the case and dial are beautiful. There is a pearlescent quality to the dial that almost makes the applied indices seem as if they are floating on a body of water — very cool for a nautical-themed watch. I have not seen anyone comment on this aspect of the watch, which I think is one of it’s finest features. I hope you aren’t too disappointed that the movement is not Kinetic. The battery movement seems to be quite good and is saved you several hundred dollars.

  8. Cary said

    I am trying to confirm that this has alarm, saphire crystal, Lumibrite, and the date is easily readable.
    Please confirm.

  9. John said

    Yes, the watch has an alarm. However, the chime is very soft and I wouldn’t rely on it for a wake-up. It could be used to alert you to a meeting. I think it could be heard in a office environment. The alarm dial can be set independantly of the main dial and can be used to display a second time zone. It might actually be more functional in this role than in its alarm role.

    Yes, the crystal is sapphire and it is supposed to be AR coated. I don’t however, see the blue-ish tint that usually is assocated with AR coating. I suppose that could be a function of the blue dial — but I’m just guessing. Relfections don’t seem to be a problem, so I take Seiko at its word that the crystal is coated.

    The Lumibrite is pretty good. The area covered on the hands is fairly large so they show up well at night. The luminous area of the indicies is on the small side, so they don’t shine as bright. If the Lumibrite on my Seiko Orange Monster is a 10 (it is by far the best lume on any of my watches), the Velatura would be about a 7.

    I notice that the Monster lume has a greenish cast under light and the Velatura lume is white. I don’t know if the color in daylight is related to the strength of the luminosity, but the Monster lume is noticably better. That said, I’ll give up some of the lume strength for the bright white color of the Velatura lume in daylight. It matches all the printing on the dial and any off color would spoil what I think is a gorgeous dial.

    The date is readable, but small. I appreciate that Seiko used a black date ring with white numerals. The way the color of the dial shifts from blue to black depending on the way the light hits it, the black date ring is more consistent with the overall dial design. I suppose a white ring might be a bit easier to read, but I think it would mar the design of the dial.

  10. Cary said

    hanks for the info.
    I do need an alarm that I could hear as well. Ideally I would love one of the Seikos that have the back round digital display but if it only had a backlight. They used to make watches with backlights but no more. I will seriously consider this one but will also look around. Does the Orange Monster have an alarm?
    Thanks again.

  11. John said

    I happen to also have an Orange Monster. While it’s a really great watch for the price — no alarm. But since you can get one for about 1/4 the cost of the Velatura chrono, maybe you could pick up an OM for fun and get a digital with an alarm — something like a Timex Ironman — and still be money ahead.

    However, it might be worth going to a Seiko dealer and listening to the alarm for yourself. My hearing isn’t as good as it once was, so maybe it would work for you. There is a lot to like about the Velatura.

  12. DL said

    As far as I know, the only Velatura with Kinetic is Velatur Direct Drive which looks much like these Velatura with the same nautical concept. The Direct Drive has a power reserve meter which shows real time power generation and power reserve of 1 month when fully charged. It also has capability of manual handwinding. That is probably why called Direct Drive. I have one SRH005 and like it very much if it is on the hefty and big side. It retails $1195.

    hey i need some help i have a seiko velatura snaa91p1 7t62 and i just cant get the alarm to work and i am in the caribbean so aint got retailers in the country i am in(st lucia). and i dont have a manual .how does this alarm works ? thanks

    • srondar said

      This reply is a little dated but I found the post and thought I would reply to it. I have this watch (SNAA91) I love it. It’s an example of excellent craftsmanship and is very accurate. About the alarm.. The alarm is not really loud and is high frequency, so older persons may not here it.
      People loose hearing in the high frequency range as they age.
      There are a couple of people in my family who cannot hear the
      SNAA91 alarm.

If half of what is in this book is true, Zuckerberg is a big jerk

When I travel I like to read books, actual books, not an e-reader but something I can actually hold. In the airport I picked up the book: The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook: A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayalby Ben Mezrich. I have read a couple of other books by Mezrich, Ugly Americans : The True Story of the Ivy League Cowboys Who Raided the Asian Markets for Millionsand also Rigged: The True Story of an Ivy League Kid Who Changed the World of Oil, from Wall Street to Dubai (P.S.).. Like the other books by the author I have read, they are a very easy and quick read. The problem I have is that you never really know what is actual fact or what the author made up. The author’s note at the beginning of the book states there are some places he has used creative licenses. Also it seems the people who have the grudge to bear against Zukerberg and Facebook were the only ones that responded to interview requests.

Besides the above complaints about the book, there was a lot I learned about the history of thefacebook, how it was founded, some of the people involved in the different lawsuits, etc. The story is pretty compelling and if provides one side of Mark Zuckerberg. The side shown is one of someone who doesn’t care about his customers, more concerned about his site and not caring about anything else.

The more that comes out in the press and the more that is leaked, more and more of what the book alleges is true.

Waiting for the movie to come out in October as well

The new strategy and OLF Press release

2 Jan

The Oromo Liberation Front (the OLF) National Council has held its historic meeting on December 30 and 31, 2011.
The OLF National Council has examined all aspects of the Oromo peoples’ struggle; the political program of the OLF; the current conditions of the Ethiopian peoples under the dictatorship of Meles Zenewi; and the importance of working with all democratic forces in Ethiopian to end the suffering.
The OLF National Council also focused on the timely demand of working with other democratic forces in forming the new Ethiopia that will guarantee and protect the fundamental rights of all peoples in Ethiopia. The new social contract will & should be based on the free will and consent of all peoples in Ethiopia. The previous style that claims “I know for you” should be abolished and replaced with a new vision that is based on peoples’ consent and free will.
To fulfill this vision and play crucial roles, not only for the Oromo people, but for all Ethiopian people, the OLF National Council pursuant to the power vested to it by the OLF National Congress effectively amended the OLF political program today, January 1, 2012.
The New OLF political program will accept the new federal democratic republic of Ethiopia that will work for the betterment of all of its citizens, neighboring countries and international communities. Informing the new federal democratic republic of Ethiopia, the OLF will respect and honor all decisions the Ethiopian peoples will make using their right of self-determination.
Therefore, we call upon all Oromo political forces and others forces in Ethiopia to join us to implement this new vision.
The OLF National Council also appeals to International Community to stop supporting the dictatorship of Meles Zenewi’s regime that has engaged in terrorizing the Ethiopian people, selling the precious resources of the country to the highest bidders, and the government that does not respect the principles of democracy, human rights and rule of law.

OLPC’s Give 1 Get 1 Program

Starting November 12, if you donate $399 to the OLPC program, they will send a laptop to a child in a developing nation and send one to your child at home.

10 reasons I like OLPC and this form of buying computers:

  1. It’s Linux and Linux rocks (oh yeah, it’s free, too)
  2. Hand cranked power option
  3. Portable computers let kids work at home and at school
  4. Long range wireless is cheaper than wiring everything for Ethernet
  5. Reasonable overhead: 95% of funds raised go to the kids
  6. OLPC set an aggressive price point then built a product to match
  7. Connections: OLPC users will be connected with the rest of the world
  8. The Five Principles
  9. “Buy 1 Get 1” is a cool idea to satisfy North Americans interested in buying the laptop while still helping needy kids
  10. “It’s an education project, not a laptop project.” Nicholas Negroponte

(hat tip to Seth Godin from his recent post titled This Changes Everything)

Software I Use: PaperCut

I have about 100 users and 3 network printers in my school. About two years ago, I installed PaperCut to manage print quotas for students and teachers.

PaperCut is set to limit students to printing 50 pages per week and teachers to 100 pages per week. For everyone, I opted to limit any single print job to 15 pages, regardless of the pages remaining in a user’s account. I’ve found that I save somewhere around 100 sheets of paper a day (about 20% reduction).

How do other schools limit printing, especially by students?

Journaling Collaboratively

Thanks to a new book on the project, I’ve been reminded of the 1000 journals project. The idea is simple: an artist going by the moniker “Someguy” sent one thousand blank journal books into the world. They would travel from place to place, from person to person, collecting stories. It’s being called a collaborative art project.

For younger folks, the Flat Stanley Project has a similar feel.

I think both are really cool offline ways to engage kids in a worldwide discussion.

My NaNoWriMo2011 experience & how I’m going to finish the year 2011

21 Dec

So, December has started. NaNo is officially over all around the world for a while now, I hope everybody was able to catch their breath. So how was it all? To be honest, it was a huge blur for me😉

Looking back on my NaNo posts I realised I totally forgot to put up one thing. Why did I do NaNo?

NaNo to me is quite a huge thing, writing a whole novel in a month. To me it’s one of the things to try when you’re a writer. Just to see if you can pull it off. I can apparently, it was hard but I did it🙂

I also set myself a goal 2 years ago, I wanted to finish at least once in the next 5 years. I failed the first year and now completed the second year, also I won’t have the time the coming 2 years as I’ll be doing my dissertation next year and (hopefully) a masters the year after that. So that would only leave year 5 after that. I did have to sort of make space to actually do NaNo, I had to sort through my life and to learn new mechanisms of living.

So, what did I learn during NaNo?

It’s good to make sure you’ve got food in the house that need little preparation, I had my freezer stacked with home made soup, spaghetti sauce and some frozen veggies. This stops you from preparing meals that are quick but not really good for your body. I did slightly gain during NaNo, but that had more to do with not going to the gym for the last 1,5 week of NaNo than with my food. So that was one thing that went really well.

Trying to force yourself to write 200 words an hour does not work and takes up a lot of time, doing 10 minute word wars does work and you get in 10 minutes about the same as you would otherwise try for in an hour. Plus, well, I’m competative😉 word wars is where you set a timer for a certain amount of time and you try to write as many words as possible in that time. This little trick had me write 5k in one day 3 days before the end of NaNo. I had a lot of fun with it too, having session sometimes for a few hours which were 10-10, 10 minutes writing, 10 minutes rest. Which worked wonders ^^ If you are looking for a fast way to get to a better word count and you are competitive like me this might work for you too!

Getting involved with the community might be distracting but it also helps you to get through the hard parts of the month. And those will come, you might have a hard time at the start, or at the end or like some at the middle of the month. There will always be people who are having that same problem at that same time. Get involved and you might learn a few tricks.

You will be tired for the beginning of December. I honestly didn’t think I’d finish NaNo when I started so when I did finish I got in trouble with my uni work, which was a bummer. In the end I slept about 10 hours over a 4 day timespan to finish everything on time and even then I did not have time enough to learn for my exam… Not a good thing, interesting experience, but I’m not keen on repeating it.

But the main thing I learned was that I can write a story in a month and finish it! Which might be the best thing to happen to me. It gave me a surge of good will to actually get some work done on other things and projects.

Which brings me to my next point.

How I’m going to finish 2011.

For now I’m working on putting together a few sources to put up my main story Black Sheep. I’ve finished part 2 before NaNo and have started to get my ass into gear to start part 3 some time soon. Which will be interesting and sad. I’ve got a few plot points that I want to get into there but I’m afraid I need to get to a few more points before I can finish up this story. When I compare it to NaNo I figure if I get my pre-work done well enough I should be able to finish it in about 1 or 2 weeks, that is IF I get my outlines done well enough and IF these characters work with me (they are more headstrong than my NaNo characters).

I’m also working on digitalising my NaNo project since I wrote it by hand first. I’m trying to get this done as soon as possible so I might be able to actually publish this story next year around this time, which seemed reasonable to me as it takes parts from slightly before Christmas to slightly after New Year eve. I haven’t done this before so it will be interesting.

I’ve got a busy time ahead, between this, reading a couple of books for uni and Christmas and New Years eve. So I’m going back to work.

Write on!

Library to Café: A Writer’s Workspace Migration

The librarian called my house when I was five to tattletale on me.  Earlier that day, I was exploring the children’s section at the local library, listening to an audiocassette about counting in Spanish in the audiocassette-designated area.

“Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinco, seis.”

I really got into it, bobbing my head and singing along out loud.  I think I even started dancing around the table, the headphone cord corkscrewing around my body.

“Siete, ocho, nueve, diez!”

So the librarian called right before dinner.  Apparently I was too loud, but I was let off with a warning for my noise violation and a pre-dinner parental scolding.

I’ve been a silent patron ever since.

This story always comes to mind whenever I step inside a library.  I think of it as children dash around bookshelves for their game of tag.  I think of it as an obnoxious ringtone blares from someone’s pocket or purse, when it takes the full duration of the piercing jingle for the owner to silence the cell phone.  I think of it as a mother bounces her screaming baby between the librarian help desk and the sign Silence Zone.

Whatever happened to the library being a quiet place?

Although I broke the rule once, I’ve appreciated silence at the library my whole life.  I valued the silence so that I could hear myself read silently, imagine the stories inside shelved books, and brainstorm my own story ideas with a paper and pen.

Even if that meant speaking in a whisper.

But the strictness of silence at the library is diminishing.  There may be signs suggesting silence and to turn off cell phones, but there is also holiday music playing, storytime in common areas, and patron voices laughing, crying, scolding, and shouting.

And librarians that don’t call your house.

After days of arriving at the library to write yet coming home defeated by the noise, I decided I needed a new out-of-the-house workspace.

So I went to a café.

It’s no secret why cafés are so popular for writers.  The building smells like coffee beans, chocolate, and cinnamon.  Phone volumes are turned to silent or vibrate, and calls are answered outside.  Jazz music plays just loud enough to get your writing juices flowing.  Voices aren’t a distraction, not even whispered conversations or those ordering a latté.  There are lots of windows bringing in natural light.  You don’t even get sideways glances when you hog a large table to spread out all your paper drafts and computer technology.

Plus you can buy a cup of caffeine.

Going to a café is my entertainment fix each week (probably because I don’t get out that much).  I am willing to spend $5 to sip a mocha, stretch out at a table, write until my fingers are sore, and show off just how serious of a writer I am to those passing by outside.

So what does the café have that the library doesn’t?

(It’s not the coffee.  More and more libraries are selling hot beverages, and most libraries tolerate patrons bringing in tightly sealed drinks.)

It’s the intimacy.

Café customers come in to get cozy with their book, their newspaper, their writing, their homework, their coffee, their friend.  What is said, read, or written is often private, and time spent at the café is precious bonding time.

That’s why libraries were once so appealing to me.  It seemed like every patron had a relationship with books and reading equal to my own.  People came in to browse, to read, to research—anything to strengthen the bond between book and human.

Perhaps now the patron relationship has altered.  Patrons come to the library to make book loan transactions, take a class, tutor a student, hear carolers sing.

The library is not a café.  It is a community house.

The library’s patron has shifted from the individual to the family.  An individual may read all day long, but a family has multiple wants–and reading is only one of them.  The library, wanting to stay funded, meets these multiple wants of their new client.

This isn’t the first time a business has evolved.  Bookstores now carry music and computer games.  Video rental stores shifted to online movie streaming.   Restaurants revise their menu to compete with that popular restaurant down the street.

It’s all about meeting client needs.

Since my current need is quiet time to write my novel-in-progress, I choose to spend my resources at a café where I know I’ll write a solid five pages in one sitting.  I return to the library from time to time at non-peak hours because I’m always curious to see what’s happening there.

Where librarians won’t tattletale on me anymore.

    • I’d love to bump into his ghost, especially at a cafe over a mocha. Although I might order an espresso just to prove to him how tough I am.

      This quote came to mind:

      “It was a pleasant cafe, warm and clean and friendly, and I hung up my old water-proof on the coat rack to dry and put my worn and weathered felt hat on the rack above the bench and ordered a cafe au lait. The waiter brought it and I took out a notebook from the pocket of the coat and a pencil and started to write.” – Ernest Hemingway

      Thank you for taking the time to read my blog!

  1. Loved this post and your library memories! I, too, remember a time being scolded by look and word by librarians seeking to maintain their holy silence. As a mother now, I teach my children to tread softly in the library as well. Sometimes they even listen to me. 🙂 Good luck in your writing!🙂 What are you working on currently?

    • I’m glad to read that your children are the quiet readers and explorers in the library🙂

      I’m currently working on the 9th draft of my novel as well as freelancing articles.

      Congrats on NaNoWriMo! What are your writing genres?

      Thank you for taking time to read my blog!

      • I usually write realistic fiction…with a little poetry (& blogging) on the side. What about you? What is your novel like?
        I look forward to exploring more of your blog!🙂

    Great post. I have found public libraries have become more like community centers as you mention, not very conducive to writing or reading sometimes. There is an energy in cafes that fosters creativity and the “white noise” of the place allows one to focus and not be too concerned about disturbing others.

    There is a wonderful library in my hometown (NYC) – the NY Society Library – that a lot of authors use as their “office”. There are private rooms that can be reserved and a larger room that has wireless, comfortable chairs and great ambience. The downside is that no food or drink is allowed and some of the patrons can be annoying with their policing of noise (people typing too loud or sniffling too much!). I usually do most of my reading and writing in the stacks which are VERY quiet and have chairs and desks to use. But it’s difficult to write for long periods without caffeine or a bite to eat – cafes win in that regard!

    • I have yet to visit NYC, and I will definitely put visiting the NY Society Library on the list. I took a look at their website, and the library is very supportive of writing in other ways: various writing groups, a Young Writers Award, a Writing Life blog. Plus the history of the library is a great story worth seeing with my own eyes. I must admit, I have not visited every library in the country (or the world), so my views derive from my experiences from a handful of libraries. I am glad to read that there are some exceptions.

      Thank you for taking the time to read my blog!

  3. I enjoyed this post. I remember a little cafe I used to go to a few years ago, to do my online work. It was small and cozy, and warm, and they had free wi-fi, and delicious frozen hot chocolate (yes, really, and it was amazing!). Unfortunately, they didn’t have the custom they needed and they went out of business. The only other cafe I know of locally, besides Starbucks (which is just too corporate for me) doesn’t really have tables so isn’t really good for writing at. What a pity, because they’re cool people there and they have good drinks and food, and could use the boost that comes from having people visibly hanging out there.

    • I love cosy cafés with thematic decor, quirky coffee names, and non-matching furniture. It’s all about ambience for a writer, and the more personality a place has, the more attractive it becomes. I usually worried that I won’t get to sit in my favorite nook, and when I got my favorite spot, I pretended that it’s been reserved for me the whole time.

      I still respect those corporate cafés. They have strong business plans, catchy marketing campaigns, and (more often than not) consistently delicious and fast coffee.

      Thank you for sharing your story, and thank you for taking the time to read my blog!

Always Vegas Review

I would surely like to go to Vegas; for me it would be an enormous adventure and a project at the same time so I would need to plan it really carefully. One thing’s for sure; I would like to save up as much money as possible. You know how it goes – every penny counts. For that to happen, I would really need to plan ahead. Perhaps it would be cheaper to go in the summer – the weather must be less friendly then. I would definitely look for some less expensive flights though whenever I travel I look for those….affordable flights. A pretty cool thing about Vegas is that it’s a 24-hour city so there’s always something open where I could buy drinks or food. Inspired by these ideas I decided to log in to my account on Always Vegas and play some slots.

So I started with the “5-Reel Circus” slot and it would be better if I had not. I was disgusted; my balance was melting and during that time I had maybe two winning spins. I guess I was patient enough and I got 10 Free Spins and that the most awful thing happened. I won nothing in Free Spins, not even €0.01. Just insane! That forced me to quit of course, and I played “Baby Boomers – Cash Cruise” and it was even worse. But really, no words to describe it. So, the last slot I played the “Japan-o-rama” slot, the one I like and play often. I just don’t have words to describe how bad it was. Yes, I got the bonus and I won €3 but I’m sure you have an idea how bad and pathetic that was.

The slots were very tight and I got very annoyed and I can tell you that that’s not a good combination. And if you need a piece of advice how to lose €80 in a few minutes, ask me; though I know that when playing at certain casinos money seems to simply disappear into thin air.

[NEWS] YG’s Yang Hyun Suk reveals why 2NE1 will not promote “Lonely”

After 2NE1 scored an instant ‘all-kill’ on online music charts with the release of their newest track,“Lonely”, many of their fans began to wonder whether they would be able to watch the group perform their soothing ballad track live on music and public music show programs, despite CEO Yang Hyun Suk stating they would not be performing on public TV programs.

However, it has been re-confirmed by Yang Hyun Suk himself that he will remain true to his word – 2NE1 will not be standing on stage to undergo active promotions for the song.

As a replacement, however, 2NE1 are set to recreate and perform modified versions of the song through YG’s online show, “YG ON AIR“.

Yang Hyun Suk stated, “This is my own personal opinion, but it’s a bit sad that for the past ten years, talented singers have been restricted to the exact same stage, exact same camera angles, and exact same format to perform their songs. This method doesn’t allow for each of the artists to fully express their true talents and music.”

“A solution to this problem lies behind the popularity of shows like ‘I Am a Singer‘. In contrast to popular music programs, ‘I Am a Singer’ utilizes unique stages and top-class sound systems, which make not only singers, but also fans, to focus solely on the music, and thus making it a more enjoyable show to watch.”

He continued, “Because of these reasons, 2NE1 will not be standing on stage of music programs for their song ‘Lonely’, just like how Park Bom didn’t perform ‘Don’t Cry‘. Instead, 2NE1 will be revealing a different version of ‘Lonely’ every Friday night on ‘YG ON AIR’.”

“Through ‘YG ON AIR’, 2NE1 will be doing performances in whatever style they like it to be, made to their hearts’ content. Fans who come to watch ‘YG ON AIR’ for 2NE1’s performances will surely be able to focus purely on the group’s music.”

The CEO concluded, “2NE1 will need to perform title tracks on music programs, but we’re only thinking of one performance a week for the time being.”

  1. I can’t wait to see different versions of Lonely! Acoustic, Orchestra, Rock, Electronica….

    YG really wants to share music more than he wants to get the money. He’s even spending to produce YG On Air without profit because it’s a webcast and therefore there are no ads to fund it and no payment needed for fans FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD to watch it. I think he is a musician before he is a businessman.

    I think he’s awesome. :D

Torture: Just Say No!

John McCain caved in and the Senate will allow a flawed compromise that, while it doesn’t redefine the Geneva Conventions, will still allow torture, secret prisons with the absence of habeas corpus (and, potentially, life imprisonment without ever being guilty of anything), and trial by military tribunals rigged to be able to ensure convictions–which is not a trial, but a “kangaroo court.” (What could have endorsed McCain to betray his fellow torture survivors and his own integrity? Did Bush promise an endorsement in ’08?)

Faith leaders in Connecticut are working to insist that their Representatives act on the belief that torture is always wrong. This is part of the wider National Religious Campaign Against Torture, which I urge all of you gentle readers to join. Without faith leadership, we cannot guarantee that our political leaders of either major party will put moral principle above expediency–especially if it means they look “tough on terror.” Evangelicals have been mostly silent on the torture issue (with some major exceptions), and at least some younger evangelicals are calling their elders on this appalling moral silence. As Rick Phillips puts it, “Are evangelical leaders really unable to see the moral issues involved, or is (as I think more likely) our political alliance with the Republican Party simply leading us astray on this issue? If the price of fighting for biblical morality in America means that we cannot always speak out for biblical morality, then perhaps we should rethink our tactics.” (My emphasis.)

Meanwhile, truth continues to break through the smokescreen of official propaganda. Bush closed the secret prisons (and admitted their existence) in part because CIA interrogators refused continued cooperation. But the fate of some CIA detainees is still unknown. The recently retired top CIA expert on Islamic extremists has slammed Bush admin. tactics for losing a generation of goodwill among young Muslims who could have become pro-Western if not for this admin.’s immoral and stupid policies. This echos the views of Colin Powell & many other retired generals, intelligence experts, and federal judges (whether Democratic or Republican appointed). And the treatment of Mahrer Arar, innocent Canadian civilian, sent by both Canadian and U.S. incompetence to Syria for torture, is a loud wake up call.

Contact your representative today and tell them that if they support this flawed torture bill, you will not remember them fondly in November. Then call the White House Comment Line (202-456-1111) and urge the President to quit trying to bend the rule of law and remember his loudly proclaimed Christian faith on this issue. Make this a church congregational campaign and keep mentioning your church’s name since Bush considers Christians his base. Then write an op-ed to your local paper.

If the U.S. church is silent on torture, future generations will look back in horror, the way we do now at the German church’s silence on Hitler, the cooperation with apartheid by most white churches in South Africa, and with segregation by most white churches in the U.S. South, and the justification of slavery by so much of American Christianity in the 19th C. These are legacies of shame–not examples to emulate. It’s time to step up and speak out.

Update: As related here, several human rights groups, such as Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the ACLU, and the Center for Constitutional Rights, have already denounced the “compromise” between McCain & Bush on detainee treatment. Add your voices to the protest.

September 22, 2006 - Posted by | human rights., torture

  1. Hello Michael and all,

    All three Faiths of Abraham spawn violence and hypocrisy

    Christians and Jews can smugly lecture and chastise Muslims about violence, because followers of Islam are poorer, more oppressed, and thereby forced to defend themselves in cruder fashion. On the other hand, the rich and powerful nations of the west can fund, train, and equip state of the art militaries and intelligence services to do their bidding, by proxy. Likewise, smooth-talking politicians expertly equivocate about acceptable collateral damage to the homes, and lives of poor people in other lands. With so many dollars spent, why don’t Muslims and others simply shut up and accept being exploited, oppressed, and massacred for such nobly expressed western ideals?

    Those in representative democracies tout their governments as extensions of the citizenry. Accordingly, so are the militaries, intelligence services, corporations and other proxies used to expand and maintain the Judeo-Christian Empire. By extension, the citizens of western nations are much more responsible for the actions of criminals, killers, and torturers paid for and authorized by democratic institutions than people who live in less democratic nations who have much less control over the actions of their leaders.

    It is undeniable that the Bush administration, its cohorts, and supporters are mostly Christian. Without the blind support of so many Judeo-Christians, the Bush administration would not now be embroiled in the current struggle to retroactively legalize torture, illegal domestic spying, and other crimes. By US law, hiring a proxy to murder or assault someone is still prosecuted as murder and assault. It is undeniable that the militaries and intelligence services of the west that kill and torture at the behest of democratic representatives are hired proxies of Judeo-Christian citizens.

    Regardless of attempts to shift blame, history clearly records the widespread crimes of Christianity. Whether we’re talking about the abominations of the Inquisition, Crusades, the greed and genocide of colonizers, slavery in the Americas, or the Bush administration’s recent deeds and results, Christianity has always spawned great evil.

    So, the next time any Christian, Jew, or Muslim, whether president, prime minister, religious leader or follower decides to chastise others for their failings, stop to consider that the logs in your own eyes have blinded you to the full truth about all three faiths of Abraham. Religion has utterly failed to solve humanity’s problems because it is a strong delusion that spawns error and evil instead. The sheep’s clothing of duplicitous ideals is an obvious deception used to hide the truth. Nonetheless, the veil is readily pierced by discerning the fruits of their deeds.

    Here is Wisdom…

    Comment by Seven Star Hand | September 22, 2006

  2. 7-Star, I think this comment better belongs in the post on interfaith dialogue.

    I don’t disagree much except to sy that there have been other periods when each of the Abrahamic faiths HAVE worked for justice, human rights, peace. For the 1st 3 1/2 centuries, almost every Christian was pacifist, for instance.

    Comment by Michael Westmoreland-White | September 22, 2006

  3. Regarding your post:
    Amen. This isn’t a partisan issue. This isn’t progressive Christians vs. the Religious Right. There is simply no way to debate this. Christian faith does not allow for torture.

    Comment by Bryan Peters | September 22, 2006

  4. Thanks, Bryan. You’ll notice that my post links to your previous one on this. I am hoping that voices like yours will spread throughout conservative evangelical circles.

    Comment by Michael Westmoreland-White | September 23, 2006

  5. Glad to hear it Bryan. I hope you’ll understand my consternation when I continually have to defend myself from attacks from the Religious Right for standing against torture and saying things like, “Killing innocent people is an evil.”

    This is not debatable.

Lexus Named Top Brand in J.D. Power’s Japan Customer Service Index and APEAL Study

Lexus Japan J.D. Power

Lexus has been named the top brand in J.D. Power’s 2013 Japan Customer Service Index (CSI) Study and the Japan Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study.

The CSI Study measures customer satisfaction with dealership service based on a 1,000-point scale — Lexus finished with a score of 816 points, 65 points higher than second place Mercedes Benz (751) and 137 higher than the average industry score (679). This is the seventh year in a row that Lexus has placed first in the Japan CSI Study.

The APEAL Study measures consumer satisfaction with their vehicle during the first two to nine months of ownership, and is also based on a 1,000-point scale. Lexus is the highest-ranked nameplate for a second consecutive year, with an overall score of 831. Mercedes Benz (787) ranked second and Audi (775) ranked third.

Submission + - Google Street View raises privacy concerns

Pcol writes: "The New York Times is running a story about a woman who says her cat is clearly visible through the living room window of her second-floor apartment using Street View and that she has contacted Google asking that the photo be removed. "The issue that I have ultimately is about where you draw the line between taking public photos and zooming in on people's lives," Ms. Kalin-Casey said in an interview. "The next step might be seeing books on my shelf. If the government was doing this, people would be outraged." Wired has started a contest on the most interesting photos found using the new Google Tool that now includes sunbathing coeds, alleged drug deals, and the google van itself.

And in particular, where a problem cannot be solved in pure Debian, I don't
want Debian to interfere with the bit of the solution that lives outside of
its domain. That may include not attempting to package/patch/alter/adjust
upstream systems like Go that have a different philosophical approach. The
worst case scenario IMHO is some people invest a lot of time to make the
Debianized-Go stuff quite divergent from upstream, people's expectations of
how things behave in Go-land are broken when they access Go-via-Debian, the
job is never quite complete and so we get extra bugs, and a new upstream
community relationship is marred. This is a much worse outcome than not
attempting to package Go at all, IMHO.

I guess I'd quite like the boundaries of responsibility to be very clear,
when I'm forced to have such boundaries.
