The Myth of Ground
2009-06-08 18:33:00 Over the years that I've worked in electronics, I've noticed several common misconceptions about the use of the word "ground." Some of these misconceptions comes from our desires to shorten nomenclature designations to fit the tiny box on our wiring documentation. A large part of the problem comes f

Vegetarianism, the Holocaust and the Myth of Civilization
2009-05-24 08:10:00 By Mark Hand5/23/09Simulposted with Press ActionLierre Keith?s new book The Vegetarian Myth is generating lots of passionate discussion on vegetarian and vegan blogs and message boards. Here are a couple examples of comments recently posted on the Vegans of Color blog:?I was just reading about the book elsewhere. I don?t want to buy it though? I don?t want to support the project. I?ll see if I can get it from my library.??I would be tempted to review it but not if I had to actually support the book by buying it. And I only say tempted because I really wouldn?t want to give this book any more publicity than it already has.?These commenters appear interested in reading The Vegetarian Myth, although they seem more inclined to pick up a copy at a library rather than purchasing one. But does borrowing the book from a library mean you won?t be ?supporting the project??Libraries are more inclined to keep books on their shelves?i.e., not discard them?if they?re getting checked out.

The Myth Of Two Talibans
2009-03-09 14:28:00 Walid Phares takes on the idea that Obama will talk with "moderate" parts of the Taliban. In fact by my observations, it is even more complicated than that: the US Administration is being advised that any change in strategy in Afghanistan is better than the previous situation. It is being told that the surge model as applied in Iraq may work, if modified to meet Afghanistan?s ?complexities.? The President must also be attracted to the idea that an ?engagement? with some quarters of the Taliban will fit perfectly with the global idea of engagement, sit down and listening that he seems to have adopted for the entire region. But many questions still need to be answered. Does the plan require a dialogue with the Taliban organization as a whole or with elements ?within? the organization? Apparently the US channel is to be established with ?elements? not with the leadership of the network. Then the next question is: if they aren?t part of the top leadership, are these elements able to swa...

2009-01-06 12:51:00 Myth Fact Islam: Religion of peace. Sahih Muslim Book 19, Number 4294: It has been reported from Sulaiman b. Buraid through his father that when the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) appointed anyone as leader of an army or detachment he would especially exhort him to fear Allah and to be good to the Muslims who were with him. He would say: Fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah. Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war, do not embezzle the spoils; do not break your pledge; and do not mutilate (the dead) bodies; do not kill the children. When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these, you also accept it and withold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them.

Sahih Muslim Book 19, Number 4292: Ibn 'Aun reported: I wrote to Nafi' inquiring from him whether it was necessary to extend (to the disbelievers) an invitation to accept (Islam) before m". ing them in fight. He wrote (in reply) to me that it was necessary in the early days of Islam. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) made a raid upon Banu Mustaliq while they were unaware and their cattle were having a drink at the water. He killed those who fought and imprisoned others. On that very day, he captured Juwairiya bint al-Harith. Nafi' said that this tradition was related to him by Abdullah b.

Is The IPA Myth, A Myth?
2008-11-11 18:33:00 Written by DJ Spiess Monday, 10 November 2008Was the IPA invented or did George Hodgson shoot Liberty Vallence too?I try to stamp out every beer myth I come across, so when Virgil G. another beer blogger pointed out I may be perpetuating a beer myth in my Thanksgiving, Pilgrims, and Beer Myths article I was surprised (and somewhat embarrassed). It would be pretty bad if I wrote an article about myths and perpetuated one of my own - especially in the same article. Damn.The IPA legendThe IPA legend goes like this. Beer brewers were looking for a beer to take to India. The trip to India is hard on beer, since the beer is exposed to dramatically high temperatures including crossing the equator twice and a very long journey over time and distance. Time and high heat can be very harsh on beer.Read more at: FermentariumHave New Posts From Making Homemade Wine and Beer Delivered To Your EmailMy BlogsBeer Recipes – Making Homemade Wine and Beer – Wine Recipes - Diabetic Eats

Free markets on Wall Street: Myth or reality?
2008-09-16 07:00:00 "It is a popular myth that financial markets are based on principles of capitalism," observe Ron Rowland (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2397) in his All Star Investor (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2397), adding "But the opposite in closer to the truth."Assessing what he calls the Federal Reserves moves to "buy Wall Street", he offers a straight-forward overview of the current situation and a "peek behind the curtain" of free markets and Wall Street. "Banks, brokers and insurance companies are assisted and protected by a wide variety of governmental mechanisms. "Wall Street propagates the myth of 'free markets' because it serves to obscure the truth, which is that their profits are earned at the expense of those with less sophisticated and well-funded Washington lobbying operations. You are now getting a peek behind the curtain."Yes, it is true that Lehman Brothers was denied government assistance and is being allowed to fail. In f...

McBush as he tries to remember how many houses he has takes a stab at he and his wife?s net worth tells us why he wasn?t in the ?cone of silence? at Saddleback runs for president.This occurred to me as I glanced over Peggy Noonan?s latest diatribe against Barack Obama and the Democrats (echoing the line that Obama?s accomplishments are supposedly no big deal) and then saw this U-turn in her column?Mr. McCain told Politico on Wednesday that he's not considering a one-term pledge.(This is) a move that would help him win doubtful voters, win disaffected Democrats, allow some Republicans to not have to get drunk to vote for him, and that could possibly yield real results for his country. This seems to me such a potentially electrifying idea that he'd likely walk out of his convention as the future president.And Mr. McCain would still have what he always wanted, the presidency, perh...

The myth of safe havens
2008-06-22 00:00:00 “It's said that in a recession, defensive sectors such as healthcare and consumer staples are the best place to be,” says Dr. Marvin Appel (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2127) in Systems & Forecasts (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=2127). Are they really?“The reason these are called ‘defensive’ is that consumer demand for these goods does not shrink by very much during recessions. "As such, corporate profits should hold up better than average. Consumer staples has the added advantage of being a sector with below-average volatility generally.“Data from Ned Davis Research confirms this bit of investing folkore. Briefly, the two best-prforming sectors in the six and 12 month periods following the onset of the five recessions from 1973 through 2001 were healthcare and consumer staples. So far, so good.“The problem is that just because the performance of these sectors during recessions has been better...

iTunes, CoverFlow and the Myth of the Real
2008-05-16 15:39:00 Many of you now know I’m a music geek, to the extent that my iPod is one of my favourite inorganic things. But I’ve had a vague sense that something was wrong ever since I embraced the MP3 medium some years ago. I think iTunes, of all things, finally showed me why. I should say that as a point of principle I can’t stand iTunes. It secretly makes decisions for you. It connects to the internet without asking (or tries to, anyway). By default, it owns your CD/DVD drive, whether you ask it to or not. It doesn’t save your tags or cover art to the MP3 files, meaning you have to re-tag repeatedly. Fundamentally, I don’t trust it to do anything other that move my MP3s from my disk drive onto my iPod. But it has one thing. It has CoverFlow. And CoverFlow has something slightly magical about it. Let’s be clear here: CoverFlow is a bone-simple idea. With each album in your MP3 collection you associate a cover, by downloading it from iTunes (if iTunes doesn&r...

The Greatest Lead Guitar Playing Myth - Shred Guitar Demystified
2008-05-15 12:49:00 There are a ton of theories floating around in the guitar player community about the secret to improving your guitar playing speed. Most of these theories are based on some sort of half truth, but a good part of the time these theories are nothing more than myths and really offer no help to truly improving a person's playing ability or their speed and style. One of the biggest myths out there about achieving faster playing speed is that you can't play fast with thick strings and high action. Most of the proponents of this particular guitar playing myth say that in order to be able to make your fingers fly across the fretboard, your strings have to be thin and the action in the strings needs to be low.

The Blog-Myth Revisited: Why You Need a Blogging System
2008-05-15 11:37:00 When you start a new blog, putting out a new post every day doesn’t feel like a lot. But how long can you keep it up? The initial passion keeps you going for a while, and after that you keep moving because of your strong commitment. But you are glued to your blog, and your blog is glued to you. Your blog will suffer from every life event that takes up your time (sickness, family matters, work), and your life will suffer from the fact that you can’t get away and leave your blog without risking its success. As the best-selling book, The E-Myth Revisited, puts it: you have created yourself a job, not a business. You are working in your business, not on it. Or in blogging terms: you are working in your blog, not on it. You Need a System If you are like most serious bloggers, you have made a sacred promise to write something consistently to keep your blog going.

The Myth of Voter Fraud
2008-05-13 16:20:00 New York Times Editorial There is no evidence that voting by noncitizens is a significant problem. Illegal immigrants do their best to remain in the shadows, to avoid attracting government attention and risking deportation. It is hard to imagine that many would walk into a polling place, in the presence of challengers and police, and try to cast a ballot. There is, however, ample evidence that a requirement of proof of citizenship will keep many eligible voters from voting. Many people do not have birth certificates or other acceptable proof of citizenship, and for some people, that proof is not available. One Missouri voter, Lillie Lewis, said at a news conference last week that officials in Mississippi, where she was born, told her they had no record of her birth. Proof of citizenship is just one of an array of new barriers to voting that have been springing up across the country. Indiana adopted a tough new photo ID voting requirement, over objections from Democrats that it wo... |
