Talking of life, I think we should view hospitals as places for reclaiming life and every veritable sign of it. There is a lot of negativity associated with those places, and not unduly so. Death lurks at every corner and there is more pain, anxiety and uncertainty put together there than in a match where our boys in blue put up a show for the benefit of suckers watching them make an attempt at th

I recently spoke with a lady who operates a Forensic Accounting consultancy.

Namely, obtaining deleted information off hard drives or data off failed drives. Her business operates on Windows based platforms and she was wondering how [...]

Barack Obama's first book, Dreams from My Father, was a compelling and moving memoir focusing on personal issues of race, identity, and community. With his second book The Audacity of Hope, Obama engages themes raised in his keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, shares personal views on faith and values and offers a vision of the future that involves repairing a "political process that is broken" and restoring a government that has fallen out of touch with the people. We had the opportunity to ask Senator Obama a few questions about writing, reading, and politics--see his responses below. --Daphne Durham

The enemies of festivity have argued for centuries that festivities and ecstatic rituals are incompatible with civilization. In our own time, the incompatibility of festivity with industrialization, market economies and a complex division of labor is usually simply assumed, in the same way that Freud assumed--or posited--the incompatibility of civilization and unbridled sexual activity. In other words, if you want antibiotics and heated buildings and air travel, you must abstain from taking hold of the hands of strangers and dancing in the streets.The presumed incompatibility of civilization and collective ecstatic traditions presents a kind of paradox: Civilization is good--right?--and builds on many fine human traits such as intelligence, self-sacrifice and technological craftiness. But ecstatic rituals are also good, and expressive of our artistic temperament and spiritual yearnings as well as our solidarity. So how can civilization be regarded as a form of progress if it precludes

Protestant apologists, especially of the Reformed/Calvinistic variety, love to claim Augustine as an early Church Father who professed their unique beliefs on grace, predestination, authority, and many other topics. I personally think such an exercise is an ahistorical grasping at straws and a false reading of a very Catholic man.Dave Armstrong recently made a post on his blog that goes a long way towards proving that point. On all of the following doctrines, Dave has provided quotes from the works of Augustine that show the Catholicity of his thinking:Apostolic successionBaptism"Catholic" ChurchChurch authorityContraceptionDeuterocanonical booksEternal securityEucharistic adorationReal Presence in the EucharistFaith AloneIrresistible graceMary: Mother of God, perpetual virgin, sinlessSacrifice of the MassMeritMortal and venial sinThe papacy and the Roman SeePenancePrimacy and preeminence of PeterPrayers for the deadPurgatoryRelicsInvocation/intercession/veneration of the saintsScriptu

If you are running low on hard-drive space it may be time for a purge of files that you no longer use, or have no wish to keep any more. In my previous post on this subject I suggested installing and running the excellent Treesize to find out the size of each folder, and I explained how to clear the cache in your web browser. In this post I will describe what steps to take in a more general purge of unwanted files.Removing unwanted applicationsFrom the Control Panel and open either 'Add or Remove Programs', or 'Uninstall a Program' (if you use Vista). Go through the list of programs and remove any that you don't use any more. This may sound like obvious advice, but the easy availability of freeware programs means that many of us have collections of applications installed on our machines that we played with once or twice and then forgot about.Removing non-essential filesOver time, Windows collects various temporary files, logs and other non-essential files. To delete these, go to t

Seattle Post-Intelligencer“..a fascinating addition to the growing literature spawned by 9/11.” Book DescriptionOn the morning of September 11, 2001, thousands of airline and airport professionals headed off for what they assumed would be just another day on the job. Of course it was anything but. Now, as the nation approaches the fifth anniversary of that tragic day, the stories of the heroes and casualties among our dedicated air travel workers remain largely untold. Until now. Reclaiming the Sky honors not only those workers who died doing their jobs, but also the ones that soldiered through on that day and in the aftermath, tirelessly piecing back together the fragments of a shattered industry — and indeed a critical social and economic force — while putting aside their own fears and grief. In conjunction with a website, reclaimingthesky.com — where readers can share their stories and thoughts — the book not only honors the heroes and casualties of 9/11, it also offers

In Reclaiming Nick, a novel by Susan May Warren, Nick Noble returns home to ensure the family ranch stays in the family, just as the back cover said (always nice when the cover copy accurately describes the story). He’s also definitely the prodigal son (in the modern sense if not the original sense of wasteful)—which means the reader can expect sexual immorality and a violent temper in his past. I appreciated the honest handling of youthful transgressions and the damage the hot-blooded eldest Noble brother left in his wake, not to mention a man returning after his father’s death to face up to his past. What can I say? Warren kept her view point almost too well. The only real flaw in the infrastructure of her novel is that I spent so much time in the first chapter, two tops, flipping back to earlier pages, trying to figure out if Piper was the redhead or the brunette, with her complaining of how he poured the coffee and watching the redhead leave when the brunette had beans serve

We’re the Blue Quadrant, we’re the Blue Quadrant, we’re the Blue Quadrant; EMIRATES. Doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue does it? I seem to remember about a year ago there being a big vote on the Arsenal website about naming every part of the stadium from hotdog stalls to programme stands. I so far haven’t come accross a single thing named after a former player or coach. There is the ’Unbeatables’ Bar among others but I would suggest that we can do better than that. We sit in a branded stadium which i can cope with as the club needed the income but unless we are recieving a lot of cash from 4 colours i struggle to comprehend why we haven’t at least named the quadrants after luminaries from the past, or at least just renamed them after the stands at Highbury. The stadium is beginning to feel like home but at Highbury there used to be numerous songs about our former home, the North Bank and the East Stand feeding off each o

Exclusivity is as integral to Ferrari's branding strategy as blistering performance. Since the 1950's Ferrari has turned its cars over to a number of coachbuilders who have wrapped the Scuderia's finest in unique, emotive designs. Over the years, the relationship between Ferrari and its coachbuilders has evolved, and the design of recent factory Ferraris has been handled by traditiona
