Isn’t this Islam’s modus operandi, its pattern?

Question by : Isn’t this Islam’s modus operandi, its pattern?
1. Muslims self-segregate in ghettos, bring in their relatives and have lots of babies: 01/30/09 Timesonline: Muslim growth rate in Britain between 2004 and 2008 was 10 times faster than the rest of society .
2. They self-alienate by dressing radically different (burkas, hijab, etc.), demanding prayer time and harassing women who don’t dress modestly: 8/09 APF Paris: Muslim woman turned away from a swimming pool because she wore a burqini. She said, “I will fight to try to change things.” Al Qaeda announced, “We are ready to take revenge for the honor of our daughters and sisters.” The natives become outsiders and convert, or flee.
3. Operating from ghettoes they incite civil strife by rioting and killing over cartoons and burka bans and constantly agitate for special treatment, KNOWING that non-Muslim extremists will eventually respond violently.
4. When native extremists fight back, Muslims play the race card and demand protection (hate speech laws, Sharia law, etc.) or risk more Muslim extremist violence, KNOWING that this too will cause even more non-Muslim violence. The violence cycles evolve into civil war, on the fringes of Muslim ghettos.
5. Multicultural liberals and elitist liberal politicians rush to defend the allegedly oppressed Muslims.
6. Both march and sign petitions against racism, cartoons of Mohamed, burka bans, Israel, Amerika, and lack Sharia law but never against Muslim extremism (9/11, al Qaeda, honor killing, Sharia law, beheading, etc.)
7. Imams and moderate Muslims talk about how sorry they are that extremist Muslims high jacked Islam and caused us harm, then they lecture us on how Islam is a religion of peace. But, again, they never march or sign petitions against the extremists.
8. As this tension increases, more and more non-Muslims escape from the fringes of the Muslim ghettoes and the ghettoes slowly expand from the neighborhoods, to the towns, to the cities, to the regions…throughout the nation. And, finally, Muslims proclaim another Muslim nation.

-In 8/09 Bosnia’s Muslim spiritual leader Mustafa Ceric called for Sharia law and declared Christian Serbian Muslim-majority territory boarding Montenegro as Muslim homelands. Yes, the same Muslims we saved from ethnic cleansing when we bombed Christian Serbs in the 90’s are claiming more Serbian land.
-8/19/10 AndKronos Int’l: Muslims claim land INSIDE Montenegro as Muslim homelands.
-8/20/10 AsiaNews, Kashmir: Extremist Muslims are demanding Sikhs convert or leave.

In essence: Muslim extremists + deliberate silence of moderate Muslims = Civil War (“on the fringes”) = Islamic conquest
-05/05: Free Muslims Against Terrorism, along with 70 other Muslim organizations, staged a protest in DC. 50 people showed up, most of them non-Muslims.
-1/7/10 FoxDetroit: Majed Moughni, organizer of the Dearborn Area Community Members, organized a rally against Muslim terrorism (note: MUSLIM terrorism, not simply “terrorism”) saying: “It’s time for Muslims to stand up against the terrorists. This is serious. We’re putting our faces in front of the world. We’re telling the terrorists we’re Americans. If you want to kill Americans come kill us.” About 50 people showed up to march, mostly non-Muslims. You can see the protest on YouTube (search “majed Moughni”). You’ll see two hijabs and no Muslim skull caps. 300,000 muslims live in the Dearborn area — about 50 showed up. Since that “march” Moughni has received multiple death threats from – guess who?

The evidence is that moderate Muslims publicly protest, but rarely against Muslim extremism.

How do I handle this situation? I feel like a snob?

Author: The Oracle

Question by Notagain: How do I handle this situation? I feel like a snob?
I am married and have a 15 month old daughter. we aren’ trich by any stretch but we are wise financially and so we are able to buy our daughter nice things, including clothing. I generally shop sales and we have an outlet mall here that has Osh Kosh, Carters and Gymboree stores. Along with Old Navy and some Baby Gap, the aforementioned stores are generally where I shop for our daughter. She has an abundance of clothing and never goes without. Here’s the situation. My sister in law went to JCPenney last weekend and bought our daughter several outfits. Our styles are COMPLETELY different and the clothes, while generous to say the least, are nothing I would want our daughter to wear. I don’t want to insult my husband or my SIL. Do I suck it up and put the clothes on our daughter or is there another PC way to handle it without having to display the clothes on our daughter?
And yes I am aware I sound like a complete snob and maybe I am when it comes to my daughter…but some of the outfits are character clothing like Winnie the Pooh and I ABHOR character clothes!
Chicken thanks for asking the question about seeing the SIL…the answer is NO we rarely ever see her. In the 15 months our daughter has been alive my SIL has seen her MAYBE 10 times and she lives 15 minutes away. She shows very very little interest in our child.

Best answer:

Answer by I’mListening
Well, maybe you can wear the outfits she bought when she visits or when you visit her… and then once she grows out of them, give them to charity.

If you say something, you will definitely seem like an ungrateful snob and then it will probably cause issues with your SIL for your future. You don’t want that over a couple of silly outfits, do you?

Good luck

Say This: I Can Do It, I Can Do It, I Can Do It! Say That Every Day! You CAN Do It!

Author: The Oracle

Say This: I Can Do It, I Can Do It, I Can Do It! Say That Every Day! You CAN Do It!

You can do whatever you make up your mind to do, you really can, and do not let anyone tell you that you cannot do it, because you CAN do it, and you WILL do it, just make up your mind to do it, and then do it!

Whatever it is…Say This: “I Can Do It, I Can Do It, I Can Do It!” - Say That Every Single Day! Because You CAN Do It!

The Law Of Attraction involves saying that you want something, or that you want to do something, and thinking positive thoughts about it, and speaking positive words about it, and not getting discouraged or giving in to negativity! You are sending signals out into the universe and this is a great thing!

For a better understanding of the Law Of Attraction, you can read The Secret by Rhonda Byrne and it is an easy-to-understand Best Seller, and it will help change your life for the better! After that, contact me and I will give you more great titles to read to enrich your life!

You should also check out my very well-liked and positive blog at: http://choosehappinessandsuccess.wordpress.com/ I had to print it that way, because when some people copy and repost these ArticlesBase.com pieces, they disable the links, which is a violation of the terms of service, and it is not Good Karma, but at least you can copy and post that URL in your browser window!

Also, there are always negative people around, even some friends and family members, who do not mean any harm, but they might tell you that you cannot do this or that, and it is up to you to ignore their negativity and toxicity…and stay away from them as much as you can.

Maybe you want to start your own business! Have you ever said, “I want to have my own home based business!” before, to anyone?

There are so many things that you can accomplish if you really want to! Never let someone, with their negative input, talk you out of something! Here is a great 2,500 year old quote from China that you can print out and put it on your bathroom mirror, in the kitchen and even in your car, and on your desk or work space! “The person who says it cannot be done, should NOT interrupt the person who is doing it!”

For example, I have on my website, and opportunity for average people, who might not even have a business of their own, to order Wholesale Pepper Sprays that they can peddle and re-sell for a Cash Profit in their town, as long as they are of legal age, are within the contiguous United States, and not in MA, MI, NY, or WI.

Nobody better tell me that they cannot be sold, because I do it all of the time, and that is how I know that it works. I can be getting gas, and see a gal at the next pump and say hello, and she says hello, and then I say “Pretty girl like you should be carrying a pepper spray.” Then she looks at me puzzled. Then I continue, “Yes, I got sick and tired of hearing about other girls sometimes having thugs steal their purses, or even worse, so I started selling these non-lethal, self-defense pepper sprays key chains.” Then I hold one up! Guess what happens?

They always ask, “How much are they?” Then I say, “ONLY 20 bucks…how many do you want?” They almost always buy one. I also do this at the bank, post office, grocery store…you name it! You can do it too, if you have some gumption and some guts! You could make a hundred dollars a day, in CASH if you really wanted to! Even more than that!

Or maybe you will want to start a website, or any one of a number of businesses that you can start and eventually make your life better. As an example, check out my www.iNeedaGiftForSomeone.com and I think you might get a kick out of it! There are many other wholesale deals there also, for people who might not want to peddle pepper sprays! Heck, anything you see on there, can be purchased in small quantities, at wholesale, and by regular people!

The bottom line is that YOU can do whatever you want, and never listen to another person’s negativity, because they certainly do not define who you are as a person! Be your own person, make your own decisions, and be the captain of your own ship, and master of your own fate! Until next time…

Choose Happiness & Success!

Jennifer has always had an enormously positive attitude, and has always been brimming with confidence and outstanding self-esteem! She enjoys helping to empower other women, and people in general.

She feels that today, more than ever before, it is possible for just about anyone to have their own Happiness & Success in Life, and to have their own Home Based Business!

If a psychotherapist and a client are both Christian, believe in God, and the therapist invokes God, forgiveness, spirituality during the sessions, do you think this approach is good ?

If there is really something to be gained by using a Christian perspective, I guess it would be ok. What I mean is, if the methods are true to mental health and there is no guilt producing talk.

Evolution in education….why are our tax dollars paying for this lie?

09 MAY
2012

Author: The Oracle

Question by Jeff C: Evolution in education….why are our tax dollars paying for this lie?
EVOLUTION IN EDUCATION

——————————…

“It is the height of bigotry to teach only one view of origins.”
-quote from Clarence Darrow, ACLU lawyer, during his defense of John Scopes

——————————…

Before the 1930′s, creation was the accepted explanation of origins and was taught as fact in American public schools. In 1925, a young science teacher named John Scopes wished to teach evolution to his class. He was forbidden to do so by the Dayton, Tennessee school board, so he took his case to court. In July of that year, an event which shook the foundations of our country took place in the Dayton courthouse, the Scopes “Monkey” Trial. This was the great turning point in our country concerning the creation/evolution in education debate. Even though John Scopes lost his case and was forbidden by law to teach anything other than creation in the classroom, by 1933, evolution was taught alongside creation in American science classes. Today, creation is out, and only evolution is allowed to be taught in the classroom.

Evolution today is taught in schools as a fact. Some institutions may refer to it as theory, but not very many. What is the truth? The truth is, evolution is only a theory, if you approach it via the scientific method. The scientific method allows for the progression of observations into a scientific hypothesis, from there into a theory, and potentially into scientific fact or law. This method is used throughout the scientific community to prove findings. Without this method, anyone could propose any silly idea, and call it fact. For instance, I could observe the fact that slugs here in the Pacific Northwest are larger than slugs in drier climates. From there, I could claim the reason for this anomaly is due to the slugs drinking great northwest coffee and thriving on it. Of course it’s nonsense, but that’s why scientists use this “scientific method” — to find objective support for their claims. However, in their rush to embrace evolution – the humanist view on the origins of man, they seem to have bypassed this method. The truth is, evolution has not been subject to direct observation, and cannot be supported or reproduced in experiments. Oh, some will tell you they’ve observed evolution, but all they’ve truly observed is small mutations within a species — quite different from evolution. For all their grand claims, an HONEST scientist will have to agree that evolution is a theory only, and barely one at that.

So why is evolution taught in school as a fact, or at best, a theory? Because the majority of the scientific community will do anything they can to deny the existence of a benevolent, supernatural Creator. They want to believe that all power and divinity in the universe can be found within each person, not in a powerful Almighty God. They wish to deny Him, to deny His power, to deny that we are all subject to someone greater and more powerful than anything we can see, feel, or touch. They miss the fact that evidence of His existence is all around us. They miss the fact that to accept evolution as a fact requires a leap of blind faith. To accept creationism, for which there is an abundance of scientific evidence, requires no blind faith. In order to maintain their comfort and sense of power over self and nature, they must indoctrinate our children at an early age. They teach our children in a religious doctrine though – a doctrine of religious humanism. The first amendment protects us against the government establishment of religion, but religious humanism is taught in our public schools every day, while the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the American Education Association, and humanists everywhere successfully block creationism from being taught. In other words, your children’s first amendment rights are violated every day they attend school, with full knowledge and support of your government.

Does it bother you that your children’s constitutional rights are violated by their teachers at schools supported by your tax dollars? It should. It doesn’t have to be this way. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people who should be bothered by this, choose to remain a “silent” majority? If you ARE bothered, then do SOMETHING about it! As one person, you may not change the system. But by adding your voice to millions of others, things CAN change. Please take the time to write to those who represent you in Washington D.C. Follow the link below to contact your congressional representatives. If you wish to email our president directly, please do that as well. However, don’t forget to contact your representatives with the votes to legislate. We don’t expect to expel the teaching of evolution from public schools. But we must get educators to teach evolution as a hypothesis as opposed to fact, and allow the schools to teach creationism as well. Get involved now, for the sake of your children!

added note, as expected most are not agreeing. This only proves the words of Jesus. Many in the latter days will come as false prophets.
He also said the wide path to hell will be taken by most.
In the beginning was an unexplained puddle of goo. Suddenly, an electric arc shot out of nothingness, creating amino acids. These acids, through pure chance, developed into proteins and eventually the first single-cell organism came into being. Over the course of time, chance favored this cell, and eventually its offspring became every mammal, fish, bird, amphibian, reptile, microbe, and plant on earth today. According to evolutionists, this is the most likely scenario for our existence today. If this were the case, we should be able to go backwards in time and conceptually deconstruct every organism to get to this original cell. However, in nature, certain things defy this deconstruction. Some biological structures are irreducibly complex, which means this theoretical devolution cannot work on them. Irreducible complexities are one of many evidences in nature against Darwinian evolution.
If you pick it, it will bleed: Scabs can be a great source of pride for children, or even adults who are children at heart. A large scab indicates a wound suffered in action – a fall from a bicycle, a tumble down a rocky slope, or a skiing accident on ice-crusted snow. The larger the scab, the more one can savor telling the story of its origin, with rights to embellish the story implicitly given. As children, we were told to not pick our scabs, but such advice was akin to “don’t look down,” invariably producing the result Mom wanted to avoid. These hardened blood clots are also indicative of an irreducibly complex system. While the blood clot itself is relatively simple, the system that regulates the clotting consists of ten finely tuned processes. Says, Behe: “If you make a clot in the wrong place – say, the brain or lung – you’ll die. If you make a clot twenty minutes after all the blood has drained from your body, you’ll die.
If the blood clot isn’t confined to the cut, your entire blood system might solidify, and you’ll die. If you make a clot that doesn’t cover the entire length of the cut, you’ll die. To create a perfectly balanced blood-clotting system, clusters of protein components have to be inserted all at once. That rules out a gradualistic Darwinian approach…”[3] In order to explain how blood-clotting could have developed gradually, evolutionists are forced to paint vague word pictures with generalizations indicating that components “arose” or “sprang forth.” No scientists have effectively described how the components arose, and nobody has performed experiments to show empirically how this gradual development might have occurred. Moreover, the issue of how animals kept from bleeding to death while blood-clotting processes evolved is problematic for the evolutionists. The evidence points toward a creator, rather than evolution.
There are many more examples of irreducible complexity in biology, including aspects of protein transport, closed circular DNA, electron transport, cilia, photosynthesis, transcription regulation, and much more. However, the examples given above are enough to show that Darwin’s theory of slow, successive changes fails to pass the acid test. Do irreducibly complex systems prove the existence of God? No, of course not. However, they are a major hurdle for Darwinian evolution, the pet theory of those who seek to eliminate God as the Creator of life. Good scientists will not allow pre-conceived notions to taint their work, and evolutionists will wag a finger at creationists and intelligent design proponents and accuse them of biased research.
However, evolutionists eliminate the possibility of a supernatural Creator at the outset, and discard evidence that points strongly toward design in nature. While almost every scientist will have a personal bias, the evolutionists are most profoundly known for letting their bias influence their work, rather than objectively following the facts to their most logical conclusion. These men and women on their humanist campaign of junk science will eventually learn the error of their ways, and they will be found without excuse: “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse…. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles” (Romans 1:20,22-23)

Evolution is supported by the evidence. No credible scientist denies evolution.

Atheists, Does this explanation allow for the possible existance of God? (Read Entire Description)?

08 MAY
2012

Author: The Oracle

Question by A Ω: Atheists, Does this explanation allow for the possible existance of God? (Read Entire Description)?
St. Thomas Aquinas’ Cosmological Argument

The great Catholic thinker, philosopher and theologian St. Thomas Aquinas summarized his cosmological argument in the Summa Theologia. In this theological masterpiece, St. Thomas writes five “ways” that we can know God exists. His first three ways deal with the cosmological argument:
St. Aquinas argues that there are things in the world in motion (this simply means that things are changing) and that whatever is in motion must have been put in motion by another thing in motion. Aquinas holds that, “whatever is in motion must be put in motion by another,” and that, “this cannot go on to infinity, because then there would be no first mover.” Hence St. Thomas argues that in order to eliminate the infinite chain of motions, there must be a first mover and source of all motion, God.
The second way is very similar to the first. It argues that,” In the world of sense we find there is an order of efficient causes. There is no case known (neither is it, indeed, possible) in which a thing is found to be the efficient cause of itself; for so it would be prior to itself, which is impossible.” By this he means that any thing, circumstance or event cannot change itself, but can only change something else (concept of efficient cause). Since there is a string of causes in which the string cannot be infinite (see premise #1), then all causes must attribute themselves to a first cause: God.
The third way also argues using the notion of a chain of causes. St. Thomas notes that things in our world owe their existence to something else in the world. Aquinas calls this the way of “possibility and necessity,” meaning that all things made possible, necessarily attribute their existence to some pre-existing thing. Only God can be the source of all things since he is a being having its own necessity and does not need a pre-existing thing to cause him to exist. All things existing can trace themselves in a chain back to God.

A second shorter version of the cosmological argument can be formulated as:
Every being (that exists or ever did exist) is either a dependent being or a self-existent being.
Not every being can be a dependent being.
So there exists a self-existent being.

Finally, a third rendition of the cosmological argument (extracted from the book Philosophy for Dummies by Dr. Tom Morris):

1. The existence of something is intelligible only if it has an explanation.
2. The existence of the universe is thus either:
a. unintelligible or
b. has an explanation
3. No rational person should accept premise (2a) by definition of rationality
4. A rational person should accept (2b), that the universe has some explanation for its being.
5. There are only three kinds of explanations:
a. Scientific: physical conditions plus relevant laws yield the Event explained.
b. Personal: Explanations that cite desires, beliefs, powers and intentions of some personal agent.
c. Essential: The essence of the thing to be explained necessitates its existence or qualities (for example, if you ask why a triangle has 3 sides, I would respond that it is the essence and necessity for a triangle to have 3 sides by its definition.
6. The explanation for the existence of the whole universe can’t be scientific because there can’t be initial physical conditions and laws independent of what is to be explained. Event the Big Bang theory fails to explain the existence of the universe because modern science cannot explain where the original Big Bang singularity came from. The universe as a sum total of all natural conditions and laws cannot be explained unless we have an Archimidean reference point outside the system.
7. The explanation for the existence of the universe can’t be essential because the universe cannot exist necessarily. This is because, it could have been possible for the universe not to have existed (if the Big Bang had been slightly different it is possible for large-scale structures to not have existed). Thus the universe is not something the must necessarily or essentially exists.
8. Thus a rational person should believe that the universe has a personal explanation.
9. No personal agent but God could create the entire universe.
10. A rational person should believe that there is a God.

The Teleological Argument

The teleological argument, or argument from design, is also summarized by St. Thomas Aquinas in the Summa Theologica. Here is the extract from the Summa:

“The fifth way is taken from the governance of the world. We see that things that lack intelligence, such as natural bodies, act for an end, and this is evident from their acting always, or nearly always, in the same way, so as to obtain the best result. Hence it is plain that not fortuitously, but designedly, do they achieve their end. Now whatever lacks intelligence cannot move towards an end, unless it be directed by some being endowed with knowledge and

This makes me think of an aspect of our jury system that Jurors are to base their decisions on just the things that are presented in the trial. If an expert witness for one side of the trial says something and the other side does not raise any doubt about the truth of the statement then the jury is expected to accept what was said. Jurors are not expected to base the decision on things they have learned prior to the trial. If somebody knows something about the topic of the trial they usually are excluded from serving.

The motivation for excluding such people is to exclude jurors that potentially have a reason to decide one way or the other that is something other than a desire for the truth. If one has a knowledge about the topic of the case one might have a vested interest in a particular outcome of the trial.

This is yet another example of the fact that no system devised by man is perfect.

Law of attraction, is this good enough?

Author: The Oracle

Question by : Law of attraction, is this good enough?
I watched The Secret an started reading a pdf book. As far I understood, it is important to generate a “feeling” tha what I want happen, actually already happened. So I started writting about that something I want on paper. It helps me go away and get the feeling. Also, I came to conclusion that daydreaming help as well. I find myself away from classroom, with that something I want when the lesson is boring, so is that good? If not, could you help me get more ways ?

Best answer:

Answer by Move on
It is not that difficult. All you have to do is ask. That is it. The thing you must know is that there is no such thing as time. So in your world, where we have time to organize our lives, what you ask for may come in a minute, a day, a week, a years, a decade, even decades. But it will come. A great man once said ” Be careful for what you ask for, you might just get it “.

Q&A: This cracks me up…?

08 MAY
2012

Author: The Oracle

Question by : This cracks me up…?
I’m not saying ALL Christians do this–so if this doesn’t describe you, no need to make nasty comments.
But there seems to be an abundance of folks who are so very quick to judge others.
Prime example: my Mom is one of the most spiritual, wonderful persons I’m honored to know.
My sister-in-law gave her a really hard time cuz she got a tiny butterfly tattoo. Started spouting crap about being worried that she may not see Mom in Heaven; that Mom blew it cuz she put something on her body that the Lord didn’t intend. PUH—LEEEEEEZE!!
This sis-in-law wears SO much make-up!! EEEK! (She shouldn’t wear any,cuz she has a gorgeous face!)
I wanted to smack her & point out the obvious: Your icky blue eye shadow & 8 coats of mascara—uh…don’t think that’s any more ‘real’ than Mom’s sweet butterfly tattoo…
I never said anything, but I am SO tempted to!!
That is just one example.
The longer I live, the less I believe in ‘organized religion’. Too much hypocrisy for me.
Hmmmm…guess I forgot to mention the part about my Pops being an ordained Congregational minister for 30-some-odd years.
I’ve read the Bible many times. Studied parts of it very hard.
Also sat in conferences w/ a few self-proclaimed great theologians, while they sat & thought great thoughts,& bickered w/ one another about who was the smartest, most faithful, & closest to god.

I don’t think our Higher Power meant for things to be so complicated. Religion is academic; spirituality is so liberating!!!

Question by Violation Notice: Do you believe this???
Some guy is going around trying to get a law passed that states that anyone that is married must procreate before 3 years time or their marriage will be annulled. Anyone who can not procreate can not get married. What do you think about this law because I think it’s a bunch of crap. Some married people don’t want kids, why force them esp. with the abundance in population!!!

This is different from the other question. How does this book plan sound? It’s based on my 12 principles.?

Author: The Oracle

Question by : This is different from the other question. How does this book plan sound? It’s based on my 12 principles.?
The purpose of my book: I am going to argue that your success in life is determined by how you witness love and power to others.

-Everybody knows that when you go to a job interview, you need to apply make up, wear professional attire, keep facial and physical gestures to a minimum, poise a smile that is magnetic but not overdone and come in dress shoes or heels
-This is the law of presentation at a professional level
-What the world doesn’t tell you is that you must also present yourself to the world at a moral level
-This is the law of witnessing
-Professional presentation is the key to attracting job security at a standard place for a certain period of time and helps you in a limited scope at a limited level when combined with other qualities.
-Moral presentation helps your entire life, in an unlimited scope and an unlimited level and encompasses all other qualities, because it creates them.
- It is the the key to attracting positive karma, friends, health, inner peace and harmony, joy, and ideal life long love interests into your life. It moves you from the ghettos in Phildelphia into the Ivy League schools in the states. The power of moral presentation is exponential: there is no limit to how good your life can get if you obey it and no limit to how bad your life can get if you disobey it.
- Think of the universal consciousness as a pond. Every stone that you drop in this pond, leads to a vibrational energy that emits to the others in the pond and influences the direction of the fish within the pond. This pond that you imagine is your mind, and the metaphysical level in which your mind interacts with theirs.

Best answer:

Answer by Me
You make a point (though few men wear makeup before going to a job interview), but I do home that as you fill out your outline, that you will word things in the positive, rather than focus on all of the “Do Nots”

thanks to the christians, I find the word “witnessing” offensive, so if you want to reach a wider audience, you should change that.

Leeds Has Indeed Welcomed This Cuckoo Of Upscale Stores

Author: The Oracle

Leeds Has Indeed Welcomed This Cuckoo Of Upscale Stores
The store’s menswear areas, now ranged across every floor level of the Regent Street building, cover a splendid variety of sartorial styles. At basement level, the theme is sporty and casual. Street-level features shirts and knitwear alongside a fine selection of ties and Latex Catsuits. One up, you’ll find designer menswear by , Helmut Lang, Issey Miyake, Vivienne Westwood…….and Ozwald Boeteng’s splendid Savile-Row-with-a-twist tailoring in high octane hues.
Harrods may be vast, and justifiably celebrated for the magnificence of its Food Halls and enthralling Toy Kingdom, but Harvey Nichols long since won the Knightsbridge style wars, defining the way an aspirational elite wants to shop in the nineties. They want to be told what to have, within, of course, the parameters of a certain classy and rather sassy urbane style. And they need head nowhere else to find it.
The regeneration and rejuvenation of the store has been a marvel of modern British retailing. No square inch of British retail floorspace grosses quite as much money, it is said, as the Mac counter on the ground floor. The mens -wear business is exploding far faster than even Topsy grew.
The foodmarket is a great place to find gifts for those who want to have those distinctively packaged HN foodstuffs displayed prominently in their kitchen . Coffee, speciality teas, pannetone, shortbread, champagne ……all are now available with that reassuring logo.
Could the tongue-in-cheek chic which defines the spirit of Harvey Nichols possibly work anywhere but Knightsbridge? We are on the point of finding out. For, there’s a new kid on many blocks up north Jodie Kidd, announcing “Harvey Nichols Leeds (not follows)”.
Leeds has indeed welcomed this cuckoo of upscale stores into the heart of its city, fronting the smartly got-up Victoria Quarter – a magnificent stretch of nineteenth-century arcades well-suited to speciality retailing in the 1990s.
“It’s perfectly okay to touch the bags,” suggests the smartly suited young salesman on the counter of the dazzling new store. “Pick them up, if you want to, and look at them properly. Some people seem to think that this is some sort of museum where you’re not supposed to handle the exhibits!”
The first thing which strikes home about HN, Leeds is the warm welcome and formal but friendly tone set by the predominantly young personnel, who seem neither stand-offish nor overly familiar. The company has done a splendid job in selection and training.
Solid county types, with their silk headsquares knotted at the throat, seem a little confused by this glamorous new upstart in town. For it’s really not dedicated to people like them. Harvey Nichols may be the preferred shopping destination of Princess Diana. Yet it really doesn’t pander to the upper echelons of traditional society.
Money, of course talks, as in, “Yes, I’ll take the Prada handbag at 495,” but in fact it is about as truly classless as a very classy store stuffed with highly-priced merchandise could ever possibly be. No glass cases or security barriers here – you really are allowed to feel the width (and thereby understand the quality) of those flares.
The staff seem assiduously non-judgmental. They won’t give you a disapproving glance if they think you’re not quite the Harvey Nick’s image, or you’re spending an amount which others might consider either tediously trivial or obscenely extravagant.
In fact, HN, Leeds seems a jolly fine place to shop. Of course you have to share Harvey Nick’s vision of fashion – madly elegant and decidedly metropolitan – and have the wherewithal to find at least some small trinket within your reach. But it is all very seductive. Only at Harvey Nichols will you find the Lycra Leggingsultimate little piece of fluff – a marabou-feather handbag by 31 Fevrier of Paris for 110. However, an Estee Lauder lipstick costs exactly the same here as in the neighbouring Debenhams.
In preparation for the Harvey Nichols opening, House of Fraser has now rationalised its presence in Leeds to one expensively refurbished store. Only, the effect is less than ravishing. The colourless environment isn’t fashionably blonde; it’s just plain bland. And the merchandise is invariably far too expensive to be so deeply unspecial. Floors seem swamped with highly -priced designer lines, but it all adds up to absolutely nothing in particular. For this store has no personality and no real sense of style.
People surely shop here by default, not aspiration. The key is not seduction – but reduction. Yet, if you need to rein in your wanton ways and temper your extravagance, this could be your ideal destination. For, in contrast to the great stores of London and New York – not to mention glamorous HN in Leeds, it provides the Christmas shopping equivalent of safe sex.

Q&A: Why this utopia would fail?

03 MAY
2012

Author: The Oracle

Question by : Why this utopia would fail?
This is a “utopia” that was created. I have to write an essay on why this would fail to be/stay a utopia.
Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advanced.

Laws:
- citizens pass monthly physiological evaluations (to make sure still qualified for citizenship)
- No information censorship (to freely explore curiosity)
- Citizens born within city are educated about philosophy of the society is preserved
- jobs suggested based on physiological evaluations and get year to rotate through possible jobs (to figure out what they want to do in order to be dedicated and happy with lives)
- No public expression of religion (to maintain peaceful society free of conflict)

Attractions:
- Virtual reality (for recreation and releasing of anger in a non-violent way)
- Mag level trains (transportation with less pollution)
- Smart phones for everyone (aid in communication)
- Index of texts (to allow people to explore knowledge)

Best answer:

Answer by Kent
1. What happens to families that a member fails a physical? Are the split apart? If 1 or two parents fail, what happens to the kids?
2. I like freedom of information, but if I have an enemy do I have to tell them everything? Secrets are not always bad.
3. No issue
4. Do you really want a Doctor to change jobs every year? There are some trades that can be mastered in a year (but not many). Some take time and talent and improve with practice. Besides, I went to college so I don’t have to say “you want fries with that?”
5. Religion’s sometimes demand public expressions. Public gatherings, prayers and sometimes a dress code. Is it really conflict free if your asking people to make their God mad at them?
Attractions:
Virtual reality is no replacment for interacting with actual people.
Trains are great for travel to a certain destination. What if I want to go somewhere else?
Smart phones are great, to a point. They are not a replacment for talking face to face.
Not sure what you mean by the last one, perhaps it’s a library? If so, that’s a good thing.
What you need is some research to back up your points.

How can you prove Evolution when you have all this…?

03 MAY
2012

Author: The Oracle

Question by Jesus Loves This Chick: How can you prove Evolution when you have all this…?
I don’t think evolution is right but I want to know who can read this and still believe in Evolution

Evolution vs. Creation

The law of Biogenesis states that “life only arises from life”. In science a law means there are no exceptions to that rule. Take the law of gravity- no exceptions to that law. So why would there be any exceptions to the law of Biogenesis? i.e. the big bang theory, life coming from non-life.

Scientists say that human’s DNA is about 96% the same as an ape’s. This must be evidence that humans evolved from apes. Did you know that a cloud is made up of 96% water, a watermelon is made up of 96% water, and a jellyfish is made up of 96% water? Does that mean that they evolved from the same thing? No, this means that we have a common creator, God.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics (Entropy) says that everything goes from organization to chaos. Evolution directly contradicts this. In evolution, everything goes from chaos to complexity by chance. Here is an example: A man in an airplane at 5,000 feet is holding 10,000 playing cards in two neat decks. He drops them out of the airplane. The cards are floating down towards earth in no order whatsoever. What are the chances that those cards will land on the ground spelling out WELCOME? Not very likely. When this is applied to evolution scientists say it takes more time for the chaos to become order. So, back to the example but this time the airplane is at 25,000 feet, allowing more time for the cards to organize themselves as they fall towards the ground. Do you think that just because of more time they will be able to spell the word WELCOME? No, they will probably be even more disorganized, with cards spread out even further.

Natural selection is change horizontally within a species. Evolution is change vertically where one species turns into another species. Change horizontally goes on every day, Christians accept this. They also accept survival of the fittest and adaptation to the environment. Those who believe in evolution often quote Darwin’s Finch example, where the beaks of the finches vary in size, shape, etc. This is change horizontally within a species, not vertical change. The finches are still finches. There are no known examples of transitional fossils that can be absolutely proven to be transitional fossils. Darwin said that if evolution were true there would be an abundance of transitional fossils, and we have yet to find one.

..Notes I took during a Lecture by Dr. Ron Carlson

Answer by Oscar Wilde (incognito)
Abiogenesis and evolution are two different theories, genius.

Evolution makes no claim as to HOW life got here, it just explains what happened after it did.
