I love Julie Delpy. She was awesome in both "Before Sunrise" and "Before Sunset". She even helped write the screen play for the latter with Richard Linklater. A smart, talented, sexy French woman. Oh la la!

"Before Sunset" and "Before Sunrise" were both really good.

And the word "Delpy" has always sounded like an adjective to me.

"who can take the sunrise, sprinkle it with dew, cover it with choc'late and a miracle or two...oh, the candy man can."
...wait that's not the song.

I couldn't downvote this if I were paid to. By the power of Greyskull I summon this video to the top of the top 15

Well I could post a play-by-play of my oh so exciting life (hee hee), but I've got a Twitter account I never use for that. I used to have a fun domain name and kept a wordpress blog, now I just do work-related stuff on Blogger.

I take alot of digital pics and may post some...we travel alot and I shoot the morning scenery everywhere I go. When you go to bed every night at 9pm you see alot of sunrises...

aww - do we have to play with the troll? can't we just keep him talking to himself until sunrise when he'll turn to stone?

Oh LOL

Please Fletch, try harder and post something that doesn't come From MEMRITV and I will give credence to your views. But right now it's like saying Christianity is evil based on what you hear about it from the Westboro church. Am just glad that MEMRITV exists to satisfy your and ghostcake's perverse views on what is Islam and such.

Here is a direct link - http://www.memritv.org/

Notice anything? I thought you wouldn't. Too blind are the sheep to see, the continents slowly being split into 3.

"MEMRI has been criticized primarily for its choice of the content it selects for translation. Brian Whitaker, the Middle East editor for the UK Guardian newspaper, has criticized MEMRI for having a pro-Israel bias and agenda, and not being explicit about this on its website. He has written, "My problem with Memri is that it poses as a research institute when it's basically a propaganda operation", that material selected by MEMRI for translation, "further the political agenda of Israel, and ", and that, "MEMRI's website does not mention you [Carmon] or your work for Israeli intelligence. Nor does it mention MEMRI's co-founder, Meyrav Wurmser, and her extreme brand of Zionism ... Given your political background, it's legitimate to ask whether MEMRI is a trustworthy vehicle"

More recently, on his blog for the The Guardian, Whitaker claims that MEMRI misrepresented a segment of Tomorrow's Pioneers, a children's' television program produced by Hamas which showed examples of child incitement. Hussein Ibish, a spokesman for the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee comments that "MEMRI performs a useful function but unfortunately they have a pro-Israel, right-wing agenda." He also says that: "There is of course some horrific stuff in the Arab press, but one tends to forget that the American press can also be very nasty.

Ken Livingstone, former British MP and the current Mayor of London, has stated of MEMRI that: "The translation and selection of quotes tend to portray Islam in a very negative light." He has accused MEMRI of "outright distortion". Ibrahim Hooper, a director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, stated in the Washington Times that "MEMRI's intent is to find the worst possible quotes from the Muslim world and disseminate them as widely as possible." William Rugh, former US ambassador to the United Arab Emirates and Yemen, describes MEMRI as a service which "does not present a balanced or complete picture of the Arab print media. ...Quotes are selected to portray Arabs as preaching hatred against Jews and westerners, praising violence and refusing any peaceful settlement of the Palestinian issue."

Leila Hudson writes in the journal Middle East Policy, "MEMRI simultaneously highlights stories emphasizing the most extreme stereotypes of clashing Arab and Islamic civilization, which would not otherwise come to light. In effect, it amplifies the noise that most effectively distracts from the projects of engagement and negotiation. This is compounded by the interlinked series of websites, blogs and forums on the right wing of the think-tank periphery. Like the Israeli disinformation site Debka.com, MEMRI produces and amplifies noise, while buttressing the weak 'clash of civilizations' theory with selective extremist writing."

Hamas is a terrorist organization and is dispeakable in the actions that it carries out (suicide bombings), but putting them forward as speaking for the entire region from a religious point of view is just about the stupidest thing ever. Let's not look at the root causes that allow Hamas to gain power... am sure it has NOTHING to do with historical context of the conflict and you know 60 year oppression of the Palestinian people who basically have NO say in their lives.

No clearly this video shows that we are all mental over there and should be wiped out with a few nuclear strikes. What are you waiting for?

I wait for the bright sunrise.

The tags say "heat of the sunrise" tho....

Heart of the Sunrise acoustic!
Jon Anderson & Tony Levin!
Freakin sweet man!
This is an awesome treat.
thank you so much deathcow.

Genesis does specifically say how long each creation event took place. God created a different thing each day for six days, and rested on the seventh. People have distorted and re-interpreted the word "day" to mean epoch to satisfy their theory of evolution over billions of years (both cosmic evolution and the evolution of life). Whoever transcribed this Genesis creation account among the Israelites wrote it in this way for a reason. If he wanted to say "long periods of time" he easily could have with other words from the Hebrew language. When you compare the Hebrew word for "day" used in Genesis 1 with "day" used elsewhere in this book, it's the same as an ordinary day of the week: 24 hours, sunrise to sunset. There is no indication that this account, which specifically tells us that creation occurred by God for 7 days, means anything other than exactly what it says. To suggest otherwise is to ignore/change what it says. Furthermore, the idea of creation happening in 7 literal, 24 hour days was essential for the Israelite worship of their God, because God used this to justify that his people set aside one day out of the week as special - the Sabbath - and this was taken literally because of the fact that God created (or worked) in 6 literal days, and rested on the 7th. Thus, the Israelites were commanded to do likewise, resting on the 7th day after their literal 6 days of work, in order to obey their God because He did it first in creation.

Aside from this point, as one who acknowledges the existence of God, I find it illogical and presumptuous to suggest that God "used" evolution in his creation of this world we now live in. I've talked with all kinds of people who believe in God, yet also try to squeeze in this man-made theory. The problem is that they just don't fit together: they inherently contradict each other. On one hand you've got this mention of God speaking everything into existence in the account in Genesis. And on the other, you've got a theory that scientists use to explain both cosmic evolution (big bang/stars, galaxies, planets) and the evolution of life over looooong periods of time. If you take God at his word in Genesis, agreeing that he spoke his creations into existence and that they were "very good" in his sight, why would God use evolution to slowly and gradually create better and better and more adapted creations (suggesting that they were not good enough to begin with and had to get better by evolution)? Macro evolution necessitates that life starts at a fundamental, undeveloped, and ill-equipped state, and gradually gets "better" and more adapted to its environment. If this is so, then God's creation was NOT good to begin with, and had to spend countless millions of years to change and get better all by itself.

As far as HOW God created life and the earth and space to begin with, Genesis says that the spoke it into being, and right afterward, He saw that it was good. If God used macro evolution to create life over millions of years, He would be speaking for a very loooong time, don't you think?

Furthermore, as I said earlier, in macro evolution, for adaptation and mutation to occur, life must successively reproduce and die, passing on and changing traits for millions of years. If things are dying before Adam and Eve first sin, then there was no original sin because death was already happening.

Genesis 2 is a special "up-close" look into what happened in the Garden of Eden, not creation as a whole, which is given in Genesis 1. Creation had already been completed as a whole, for it says in verse 2:1 that "Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them."

boo hoo for sazae-san......This video has been removed due to terms of use violation.

In reply to your comment:
“nice work, maudlin, but not quite right:

'neko' means 'cat'. 'doraneko' means 'stray cat', and 'dora' (by itself) can also be used to mean 'stray cat' (just like 'tom' for 'tomcat' in english).

doraemon (this guy: http://www.shopro-entertainment.com/doraemon.html) is a cat-type robot from the 22nd century of the future. he's one of the most famous characters (manga/tv/advertising) in japan. he used to have cat ears, but they got bitten off by a mouse (in the future). the word 'dora' in his name is just like above.

many other characters and various items in "doraemon" are named 'dora-something', including the character you found. the reference is to doraemon himself.

"sazae-san" is a different show, also long-running and very popular. everybody watches it on sundays. the theme song starts with a verse about a 'doraneko' carrying fish and being chased by sazae-san. that's the question being answered by this experiment. everyone knows the sazae-san theme song, which is why this is so funny to japanese. they're taking the song very literally.

the experiment title comes from the song and is written in blue writing in the top right corner of the screen.

the conclusion of the clip you posted (starting with the writing against the sunrise over the earth) says:
'in this way a new piece of trivia is born into the world:'
'the [fish-stealing stray cat] that is chased by sazae-san can steal a maximum load of approximately a 2-kg bonito (fish)'

beautiful.

January 4, 2007

A Russian rocket that broke up re-entering Earth's atmosphere over the United States had ferried a French telescope into orbit, U.S. military officials said.

Early risers in Colorado and Wyoming could see glowing trails of space debris from the rocket, launched recently from Kazakhstan, the Denver Post reported Thursday.

Rocket pieces as large as boulders broke off but disintegrated into shards before they hit the two states just before sunrise, said Navy Lt. Cmdr. Sean Kelly, spokesman for U.S. Northern Command and the North American Aerospace Defense.

"It's not a big deal at all," Kelly told the Post. "It lit up the sky over Colorado. This is a routine occurrence. This happens every day. It's just that it's not over Colorado. Most of the time these things hit the ocean."

No damage was reported. The debris wasn't thought to be hazardous.

The best part of this video is the fantastically overwrought, epic music at the end, as it cuts to a shot of a sunrise.
