Dave Armstrong at Biblical Evidence for Catholicism has written a very genial open letter to me, which he seems to hope might serve as the first volley in an exchange of posts. To start out he's written a reply to one of my emotionally hotter and polemically colorful posts entitled, "After My Deconversion: I Refuse To Let Christians Judge Me". I'll admit, with distance it's a little hard for me to have the emotional rawness of the piece sort of read back to me. It's not one of my more typical posts where I lay out copious detailed arguments, but more an expression of my defiance of Christians who would judge me for my apostasy. As for many ex-Christians, in the first few years after my deconversion it was very difficult for me upon deconverting to immediately get out of the habit of caring a great deal about what Christians thought of me and my leaving the faith. Ingrained habits of mind, especially ones reinforced by cultural hegemonies, are hard to unlearn, even when you think you have every reason to reject them.
This blog is named Camels With Hammers after the image of the camel that is in Nietzsche's "Three Metamorphoses of the Spirit" from his book Thus Spoke Zarathustra. In that section Nietzsche's Zarathustra describes spiritual progress in terms of first becoming a reverential, dutiful beast of burden, the camel. As I read the text, the camel significantly represents the devout religious believer who finds his spiritual greatness in his ability to obey, to be ascetic, and to constantly challenge himself to take on great burdens. The camel then must transform into a lion that says "No!" to the dragon of thou shalt, which represents the mythical idea that all true moral judgments are given to us from outside of ourselves, by fiat, and that they are unchangeably fixed. The camel needs to become the lion because as the reverent camel, he is incapable of the necessary defiance that he needs in order to affirm some of the truths that his literally religious dutifulness itself exposes.
Finally the lion must transform into a child and transition from being a "No-saying" creature to a "Yes-saying" one. This transition is the move from an emphasis on defiant resistance to what one is rejecting to the work of finding and embracing what is worth affirming. The lion's nature is too reactionary for that. It's too much bound up in standing up for itself against what is false that the lion cannot think constructively beyond what it is rejecting. But children are a fresh beginning. They're clean slates. They have no memory of the past, no lingering grudges, and they don't have prejudices whereby everything is bound to the connotations it had for the old systems before their birth. They can look at things with fresh eyes and affirm without all the baggage that the lions cope with.
On this blog, I try to capture all three stages of my religious journey. My time as camel, lion, and child. And since one's spiritual life is never so neat and tidy as to be cleanly broken up into absolutely distinct phases, it's about exploring the parts of me that today are still camel, still lion, and still child.
A big part of writing this blog has meant going back in time and channeling my former self for whom the lion experience was the dominant one. It's a shift from my constructive, post-Christian, philosophical perspective that is basically indifferent to Christianity as a dead proposition long ago abandoned back to the part of me that needed to both work out as carefully as I could the justifying logic by which I left the faith while figuring out how to psychologically untangle myself from its hold on me.
My motive in doing so is primarily to give expression to the experience of deconverts whose journeys were like mine. They need resources they can identify with and which help them understand they are not alone. And their grateful e-mails to me are one of the most gratifying fruits of this blog for me. I also wrote the deconversion series because I think it's valuable to show doubting Christians how it is possible to make it through to the other side. Finally, as an act of memoir and self-understanding, writing about my deconversion has proved very cathartic and clarifying and even has brought some closure.
So, looking back at a post that was written five years ago after an old friend from my Christian days brought a lot of defiant old lion feelings back up feels a little strange. But it feels like a fitting way to resume blogging after a long hiatus.
Now. About Dave's reply to the post in question.
The basic gist of Dave's reply is that the kind of Christianity I experienced, thought within, and rejected in my deconversion is fundamentally Calvinistic. Most of the major aspects of Christianity that I focused on in judging the religion morally perverse and harmful were due to the Calvinist kind of Christianity I had. Roman Catholicism does not have the same problems as Calvinism. So, I have not really given reasons for rejecting Christianity en toto, but instead I have just given a case for rejecting Calvinism. And Dave is totally cool with rejecting Calvinism.
And I largely agree with him!
Even though I was only briefly (and very unorthodoxly) an explicit Calvinist, Calvinistic themes permeate enough of evangelical Christianity that its influence was part and parcel even in the kind of theology that I grew up with that never explicitly mentioned Calvinism.
In thinking about blogging in the future, for some time I have been thinking that it would be best to start breaking up my posts on Christianity along theological lines more and address different kinds of Christians for precisely this reason. The denominations within Christianity exist for a reason. There are real differences in their conceptions of the religion. And it is true that I have defaulted to primarily criticizing the American Evangelical Protestantism that was my tradition and which was true Christianity to me when I was a Christian. And even though I often make criticisms of Christianity more broadly, one of the concepts I have the most venom for is original sin as interpreted in the Calvinist way, as total depravity. This is a major crux of my moral hostility towards Christianity.
So, I find it serendipitous that I find a Catholic apologist on my door step. While I am by no means well versed in Catholic theology, I did my PhD in Philosophy at Fordham University and, this might surprise and encourage Dave, uncoincidentally Thomas Aquinas had a truly decisive influence on my theory of goodness and evil and helped solidify my essentially Aristotelian approach to moral philosophy. My constructive metaphysics of value and ethics in many ways aims to reconcile Nietzsche, Aristotle, and great work in contemporary moral philosophy and psychology. And the Thomistic element that I worked out in writing on Thomas's answer to the problem of evil plays a hinge role in the theory. Years later I wrote a post inspired by that paper called "On God As The Source of Being But Not Of Evil" that explores what I find insightful, but also limited, about Aquinas's view of God, goodness, and evil.
So that's a nice shared starting point. Most of what I think is good about Catholicism I see it as owing to Aristotle.
Dave responded to one other central issue in his post: my rejection of Christianity for the ways my gay best friend in college suffered deeply due to the idea that his homosexuality was sinful. Dave's reply amounted to an appeal that you can hate the sin without hating the sinner.
The friend that I described whose struggles with mental illness and suicidal ideation were exacerbated by his Christian faith really took the Catholic messaging to heart that there was room for him in the Holy Roman Church. He went so far as to become a Benedictine monk. He came onto a Google Hangout with me to defend the Church and explain all about how it was possible to be happily Catholic and gay. You can watch it and read the transcript here. The video reached a pretty small audience (just a few hundred I think) before it managed to find a Catholic viewer irate enough about my friend's existence that he campaigned to have my friend denied entry into the priesthood.
Eventually my friend finally just left the monastery and married a man he had fallen in love with.
Below are three key posts I hope Dave will read so that he can tailor some more specific responses to me. The first is a systematic overview of my moral philosophy that should make clear both its affinities and divergences with Catholic natural law theory. Then there are two more specific posts about Christianity and gays.
Finally, here's a little more of my take on Original Sin: Why Sin is a False and Morally and Biologically Backward Concept. Even though my view of original sin is predominantly colored by the excesses of Augustine and Calvin, I still think some of these criticisms apply to the concept in general.
While I grant, and have known since college, that in theory Christianity technically takes the view that our bodies are inherently good because God makes only good things and nothing evil (since evil is not even really a thing), I simply don't think that in reality Catholicism means affirmation of the body in practice. Catholic guilt is a notorious reality and it's largely rooted in the ways that Manicheanism operates on the practical level of Christianity despite the Church's theoretical attempts to deny it.
If we are to assess what Catholicism is, it's difficult to disentangle the way it's actually experienced at the folk religion level from what it might be in theory. I think that if a religion purports to be God's conduit for guiding His people on Earth it is more telling how that religion actually manifests than what theologians say about it. Since I don't think it makes much sense to imagine an omnipotent God who can only manage to make his scholars really understand we don't live in a dualistic world where the spirit is good and the flesh is evil while He leaves the majority of His flock defaults to more primitive, dualistic folk religious beliefs. It's hard for me to posit a morally perfect and omnipotent being behind such a systemic miscommunication.
So, I thank Dave for his gracious offer to exchange views and I hope to hear back.

UK anti-food fraud firm gets £2m backing
Katrina Megget, 03-Feb-2017
A company developing a way to tackle food fraud has won an investment of £2m from a Canadian entrepreneur.
Northern Irish tech firm Arc-Net is developing a blockchain technology to improve the traceability and authentication of food.
The investment was made by Dr Richard Steeves, who founded healthcare outsourcing services company Synergy Health in 1991. The company expanded into the food testing market in 2014.
Steeves, who becomes Arc-Net's chairman, described the UK firm as a fantastic investment opportunity. "I am very excited to be supporting Arc-Net and their objective to revolutionise food supply chain security using their novel technology. I also find the social aspect of Arc-Net's service compelling, working with the food industry to improve transparency and authenticity."
The investment will be used to help finance growth of the three-year-old company and increase the Arc-Net's headcount from 20 to 50, said Kieran Kelly, its chief executive. Kelly called Steeves "a visionary in the truest sense of the word".
"The fact that he shares our vision for Arc-Net is a massive endorsement of our service, our strategy and the potential of our company. We see significant demand for what we have to offer and this investment will put us in a very strong position to capitalise on that."
The global nature of the food chain and rising food prices has made food and beverages a target by fraudsters and counterfeiters. It can be incredibly profitable, with recent estimates suggesting a single shipment of fraudulent food can result in tens of thousands of dollars in illegal profit.
There is growing awareness of food fraud, especially in light of several recent high-profile food scandals, such as the horse meat scandal in the UK, and the issue has become increasingly politicised.
There have been more developments and commitments towards tackling the issue of counterfeit and substandard food and beverages but estimates suggest that anti-fraud measures account for only 5 per cent of expenditures in the food and beverage industry.
According to Arc-Net, food fraud costs the global industry $30bn-$40bn a year, with more than one in three food organisations having been victims of fraud.
The company's technology is a blockchain, cloud-based platform that is designed to have high levels of security, scalability and flexibility. The technology aims to protectively mark, authenticate and track goods across the supply chain to provide independent validation of food quality "from farm to fork", while also providing operational data such as demand forecasting.
The Belfast Telegraph describes the technology as a database of encrypted DNA samples, which will provide linked information to retailers and consumers detailing the source of the food, its journey to the plate, and other relevant information.
"Our service also increases the information flow across the entire supply chain, which helps ensure authenticity, quality, traceability and compliance, based on blockchain technology," Kelly said.

Largest In The World
Australia's Super Solar Electric Plant
The Australian Government has been among the world nations that have rebelled against accepting global treaties designed to fight carbon emissions and global warming. This attitude . . . perhaps based on a refusal to believe in the reality of a warming planet . . . may have been severely jarred by the extreme climate events that have ravaged Australia in recent years.
Extreme drought, severe typhoons and flooding along the coasts, and deadly heat waves may have prompted the government to get behind a movement to finance alternative energy sources. Thus the Australian government is participating in the cost of building a $1.27 billion solar electric power plant that will be the largest in the world when it goes on line in 2015.
Australia presently burns coal, which is abundant there, to generate about 77 percent of the nation's electric needs. But the vast flat dry landscape spanning so much of this little continent also offers an abundance of sunlight. And there is nothing to prevent the construction of acres of solar panels and other devices designed to utilize all of this renewable and carbon-free energy.
The France-based consortium, Areva Solar, has contracted to build the new solar plant in the State of Queensland. It will consist of a broad field of mirrors focused on water-filled tubes to create steam. The steam will turn turbines and generate 250 megawatts of power, enough juice for 115,000 homes.
The plant also will include a natural gas-fired boiler so electricity can continue to be supplied even in the event of cloudy weather.
The Australian government will contribute $491 million and the government of Queensland is coughing up $79 million to finance the project. If successful, many see even more solar plants to follow as Australia begins to take steps to lower its carbon footprint in the world.
Ironically, Ausra Solar, now a global corporation specializing in green technology all around the world, was founded in Australia in 2002 under the name Solar Heat and Power. Its first pilot project was built in the state of New South Wales. The founders wanted to capitalize on the fact that Australia has the strong sunlight needed to operate solar-thermal plants. But the government was slow to buy into solar power so the company was sold to Areva, an engineering firm interested into breaking into a worldwide market for renewable energy.
Now that it is on board, the Australian government has set a goal of getting 20 percent of the nation's energy from renewable sources by 2020. A government program called Solar Flagships has been established to help finance construction of as many as four utility-scale solar power plants.
If the new solar system proves effective for Australians, it may serve as a model for new power generating systems elsewhere in the world, including China, Brazil, India and the United States, where coal-fired power plants continue to spew carbon emissions into the world's brown polluted skies.
Australia and the United States were the two industrialized nations that refused to sign onto the Kyoto pact because they argued that forcing plants to cut emissions would unfairly hamper local economies that were heavily dependent on the use and exportation of coal.
Instead, the U.S. and Australia joined China, Japan, India and South Korea in founding the Asia-Pacific Partnership on Clean Energy Development. This new organization says it wants to cooperate in finding new technologies to reduce emissions rather than join Kyoto.
The Australian Conservation Foundation says this solar plant will only be a small step toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but it is a step. Foundation members believe the most effective method would be to make polluters pay through taxation and user fees for energy consumed.
And researchers at the Australian National University suggest that rather than build a single giant solar plant, the naturally sunny climate in that country would make it possible for every home to utilize solar panels to generate power. They say the technology exists now for homes to utilize sunlight to generate power to run the household by day, and sell excess power into a national grid by night.
University Professor Andrew Blakers said a two kilowatt photovoltaic panel on each roof would both import and export power to the grid, and be so effective that the residential sector would be completely removed as a source of greenhouse gas emissions.

Everybody, at some point, has attempted a diet, and you've probably asked yourself why it isn't working.
Whether you're trying to knock off a quick 10 pounds before a vacation, fit into a new outfit, or improve your overall health, diets are the number one option. However, diets don't work. And, what everybody wants is sustainable weight loss.
There are studies indicating that nearly everyone who goes on a diet regains their lost weight, and often puts on more than they lost. So, dropping a few pounds for a vacation may leave you with short-term satisfaction, but you'll pay for it in the long run.
Dieting, in general, is not a good way to achieve sustainable weight loss. And, fad diets or crash diets are even worse. These types of diets usually center around food elimination. Celebrities often endorse severe caloric restriction, which is nearly impossible to follow, and quite frankly, hurts your health.
Your body can simply not run efficiently on three juices per day. And, just like the weight loss on these diets might be extreme, so is weight gain. Research shows that people who adopt fad diets, or "crash diets," put on more weight than they lose a short time after concluding these diets.
So what gives? If dieting doesn't work, does it simply mean you're doomed as you age and put on weight? Should you forget about trying to achieve the health benefits associated with weight loss? Of course not! There are ways to shed pounds and improve your health and physique in a sustainable way that can lead to benefits for years to come.
One of the keys to sustainable weight loss is taking a little more care when it comes to selecting calories. For example, let's take a look at a 500-calorie breakfast consisting of a regular sized blueberry muffin (about 380 calories) and an eight-ounce glass of orange juice (112 calories). In that breakfast, you're only getting two items, and you'll surely be hungry a couple of hours later, if not earlier. Also, those items are pretty light on nutrition.
The calories are made up of about 16 grams of fat, 80 grams of carbohydrates, 6 grams of protein, and 55 grams of sugar. Furthermore, you're only getting 1.5 grams of fiber. All that sugar has the potential to be stored as fat, which can lead to weight gain, type-2 diabetes, and heart disease.
Now, let's take a look at a 500-calorie breakfast that can lead to better satiety. This breakfast will help prevent you from snacking later in the day by regulating hunger hormones, like leptin and ghrelin, while packing a nutritional punch that revs up your metabolism.
This breakfast comes in at 475 calories and contains substantially more food that the sugar-filled muffin and juice breakfast. In fact, you may even need to split it into two meals!
Not only will the protein in this breakfast keep you full and regulate appetite for the rest of the day, but it will do a good job working to maintain muscle mass. Another benefit is that it features over 6 grams of fiber.
The way your body uses the calories in each breakfast is also different. The whole grains in the oats and the naturally-occurring sugars in the blueberries and peanut butter will all be slowly absorbed and used as energy throughout the morning.
This is due to the presence of fiber, which allows your body to process them slowly and avoid the likelihood of blood sugar and insulin spikes. As you can see, the choice of calories makes a big difference.
A term that's been gaining traction as of late is "flexible dieting," and it can be rather confusing for some. Some people take it to mean that they can eat whatever they want as long as it fits into their daily caloric allotment.
And this is all well and good, except that if you decide to include a Big Mac and fries or a few slices of pizza every day, you're not going to have a lot of room for other foods and nutrients. Eating "flexible" should still have a balanced split of nutrients and nutritious foods, which is why I prefer complimentary eating.
Complimentary eating involves basing meals and overall food intake around nutrient-dense items that work together to create a supportive environment for weight loss. It's not a food elimination type of eating system, but rather one that emphasizes lean proteins, like eggs, chicken, low-fat dairy, fish, and bison. It also includes fibrous carbs (like fruits and vegetables), starchy carbs (like sweet potato, oatmeal, brown rice), and healthy fats (like avocado, olive oil, nuts and nut butters).
Complimentary eating allows for a variety of foods and lets you enjoy many flavors. When you stick to complimentary eating 85% of the time and eating whatever you want 15% of the time, you're eating in a sustainable way that will encourage fat loss.
To lose weight, you need to be taking in fewer calories than you're expending every day. Now, this does not necessarily mean eating less as the breakfast example showed.
If you're regularly eating a Standard American Diet (SAD) high in refined carbohydrates, processed foods, and added sugars, switching to a complimentary diet will almost automatically lead to a reduction in calories. You'll be less hungry, and the foods you take in will be less dense calorically.
For those who already eat relatively healthy, you can either cut calories by 200 to 250 each day or increase your activity levels.
Now, let me show you why I think adding activity—and specifically resistance training—is the best way to aid and maintain fat loss in a sustainable way.
Exercise and resistance exercise are probably the best ways to enhance and maintain fat loss. One of the biggest reasons is that when you perform resistance exercise, you're building and maintaining muscle mass.
And, the more muscle you have, the faster your metabolism works, and the more calories you burn. In fact, even gaining one pound of lean muscle can rev up your metabolism, so you're burning an extra 30 to 50 calories per day.
Resistance training works much better at retaining and building muscle than cardiovascular work like distance running or cycling. Although these activities are great for your heart and can put you in a caloric deficit, they are best used as complimentary activities in a fat loss program. Do them for maybe 30 minutes per day, two or three days per week at first, then focus on resistance training for two or three sessions per week.
Adopting an exercise routine with a complimentary eating style is the ticket to sustainable weight loss.
Sometimes people are active, eating right, and still not finding any difference in their weight, and that's okay. You can either add a little more activity, boost the intensity of your workouts, or scale back on calories a little bit. Of course, there could be something else at play, too.
Sometimes the scale can be deceiving, especially if you're resistance training and eating a complimentary diet. Let's say, for example, you've built four pounds of muscle and shed four pounds of fat in the past month.
Your net weight loss is zero, but your body composition has improved. You've built healthy muscle, turned up your metabolism, and given your body some more shape and tone, yet your weight is the same. You've re-comped your body.
Therefore, a more indicative measurement to pay attention to is your body fat percentage instead of the number you see on the scale. You can check body fat with electromagnetic scales (your gym will have one, or you can purchase one for about $100). Or, you can have a knowledgeable person measure it with calipers.
Diets, quite simply, don't work. The only way to encourage sustainable, long-term weight loss is by making lifestyle decisions that compliment weight loss goals. Eating nutritionally dense foods, increasing protein intake, staying in a sustainable caloric deficit, and including resistance training is the proven recipe boost your metabolism, shed fat, and keep it off.

Croatian participation at the 12th International Architecture Exhibition at la Biennale di Venezia consists of three components: a floating pavilion, the exhibition of the project at the Croatian venue at the Arsenale, and a publication of the project distributed to visitors at the venue.
The Floating Pavilion is built on an existing barge with dimensions of 10m x 20m x 3m. The pavilion structure is in the form of a cargo of 32 tons of welded wire mesh, with more than 40 layers spaced so that they form a solid volume with approximate dimensions of 19m x 9m x 5,5m. Inside the volume is a carved out space shaped by varying contours that form the main space as well as protrusions and openings toward the outside. Almost invisible form a distance, the structure reveals itself with different densities of steel mesh, transparencies, and vision lines, forming stunning visual effects and experience of space by very simple means. The Croatian pavilion is towed by a tugboat from the shipyard in Kraljevica to the port of Rijeka, to be presented to the public on 21 August 2010, and on to Venice to be moored at the main pier during the opening of the Biennale.
Also as cargo, the project publication is presented in the form of 6 loose printed sheets with photo documentation, which when folded and bound make a 96 page book for everybody to take. The concept and the production of the publication is by Lana Cavar and Narcisa Vukojević. Marko Golub conducted the interviews.
The authors of the project are 15 of the most distinguished Croatian architects of today, who through various practices and some of the most distinct buildings designed recently, are already recognized on the global architectural scene. They have established Croatian architecture as a relevant force. Here they have united into a single work team that has produced a common project and had it realized for the Croatian participation at La Biennale. Saša Begović, Marko Dabrović, Igor Franić,Tanja Grozdanić, Petar Mišković,Silvije Novak, Veljko Oluić, Helena Paver Njirić, Lea Pelivan, Toma Plejić,Goran Rako, Saša Randić, Idis Turato, Pero Vuković and Tonči Žarnić met in more than 20 work sessions and innumerable other meetings and site visits.
The Commissioner Leo Modrčin proposed the pavilion on a barge as a simple solution for Croatia's need for space at the Venice Biennale and as a symposium of multiple ideas and projects to be exhibited at la Biennale. Instead, he found himself moderating the rare and dramatic process of architectural teamwork and construction, which resulted in a singular and most inspiring work of architecture.
Besides the Croatian Ministry of Culture, which generously accepted all the uncertainties of the design and building process, the project is supported by the organizer, the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rijeka, the Croatian port city where most of the maritime and shipbuilding industries and services supporting the project are based. The main sponsors are Shipyard Kraljevica/fabrication, 3.maj Shipyard Rijeka/barge and Jadranski pomorski servis/towing. AVC Zagreb provides exhibition support.
At the point of this writing, it is still uncertain when the pavilion will reach Venice after touching the homeports on the Croatian coast of the Adriatic. Not to accomplish the full circle and reach the final destination after this extraordinary effort by its creators and the numerous members of the local maritime industry would be simply wrong. In our usual ways of architectural spin masters, we could justify the process of design itself without the final materialization as a valid and as the most literal of responses to the theme proposed by Ms. Sejima. It is a meeting of great architectural minds, completely realized as accomplished architects, who have accepted the uncertainty of the unusual project and now generously share this profound personal experience of working in an unstable group setting with the general public.
Yet, without the actual construction and navigation to Venice, we would have never been able to gather all the parameters of the project and prove the feasibility of the whole premise that a floating pavilion was a possible way to go. For this group of architects there was simply no alternative. The construction on the barge has been a monumental task in itself. Designed by 14 authors, it is fabricated by a dozen welders who put in a countless number of welds in order to build the structure. It consists of 42 layers of Q385 weeded wire mesh put together by welding each layer on vertical rods spaced 50 cm in either direction. It is a fragile construction despite the 32 tons of steel, perhaps just a fraction of material expected to conquer such a volume of space. The solid part is everything but solid and it fully disappears when viewed from a distance, only to reappear as a heavy shield of steel when inside. Entering it somehow feels like entering a wire frame drawing, a raw armature of space before it is rendered into a full glory of a simulated, complete rendering of architecture. But here you are the rendering device. This must be architecture.

Canines and humans have lived together for many thousands of years, to our mutual benefit. In addition to providing companionship, dogs can perform critical roles, such as assisting humans with medical concerns, searching for lost individuals, and detecting substances by scent. Researching how technology might be designed for canines has the potential to significantly improve the lives of both dogs and humans. We draw upon the extensive foundations and literature in human-centered computing to identify and adapt models and methods that are relevant for canines. Our work surveys the landscape of canine-centered computing and canine psychophysics, and generates a framework and set of guidelines to help inform the requirements, design, and evaluation of systems for canines. Our principal aim is to invite and challenge human computer interaction (HCI) researchers to contribute to the field of canine-centered computing, and we conclude with a call to action in this promising nascent field.

Ep 045: The Fridge of Christmas Past
In this Christmas episode of The Web of Queer, we review the Eleventh Doctor Christmas special, A Christmas Carol. What did we think of the setting and atmosphere of the story? Did we like how the time travel elements were used? How does this story treat its characters, and does it live up to its statement that everyone is important?
Ep 044: (Only) Doctor Who Is Required
In this episode of The Web of Queer, we review the penultimate episode of series 9, Heaven Sent, and the First Doctor story The War Machines.
For our review of Heaven Sent, we discuss this unusual episode. Did we like Capaldi's solo performance, and how the story was constructed? What do we think is next after that reveal at the end?
In The War Machines we encounter Dalek-like machines and 60s computing. How did the War Machines compare to the Daleks? Did the questions and concepts around artificial intelligence hold up to present day? What did we think of our first glimpse of Dodo, Ben, and Polly?
00:56 Heaven Sent review
35:15 The War Machines review
Ep 043: Face The Erasure
On this episode of The Web of Queer, we review the tenth episode of series 9, Face the Raven, and have a discussion about bi erasure.
In our review of Face the Raven, we discuss the apparent end of Clara's story. What did we think of how her death was handled? Were we surprised to see Me again? Did we like of the concept and execution of the trap street?
For our bi erasure discussion, we talk about the passive bias that has removed bisexual/pansexual people from the queer narrative, and what might be causing it. How does Clara's story fit the bi erasure tropes we have seen? What harm can come from erasing a whole section of queerdom, and what can be done to fix it?

Ep 042: No More Mind
On this episode of The Web of Queer, we review the 9th episode of series 9, Sleep No More, and the Sixth Doctor classic story, Mindwarp.
For our Sleep No More review, we discussed the diverse cast of characters on the show, including 474, the character played by Bethany Black. What did we think of her role, and how the other characters in the story treated her? Did we like the idea of the Morpheus pods and how did we think the narrative held up as a whole?
For our Classic review, we continue the Trial of a Timelord series with Mindwarp. Court scenes, a Brian Blessed debut, and corporate slug overlords fill out the story, but how full was it? Did we believe the Doctor was really affected by the machine? And what do we think of Peri's storyline?

Ep 041: Truth or Conformity
On this week's episode of The Web of Queer, we review The Zygon Inversion. Did we think that it managed to cope with the difficult topics that were in this episode? What did we think of the Doctor's interactions with Osgood? Were we satisfied with the resolution of the Zygon rebellion?
Ep 040: Hybridized Allegories and Schrodinger's Osgood
On this week's episode of The Web of Queer, we review the seventh story in this series, The Zygon Invasion. Doctor Who doesn't shy away from the political, but how well did we think they managed to tackle something so current? What do we think of UNIT's reactions throughout the story, what did we think of Osgood's choices about her identity, and where do we think the story might be going?
Ep 039: Nightmares and Daemons
On this week's episode of The Web of Queer, we review the 6th story in the new series, The Woman Who Lived, and the Third Doctor story The Daemons.
For The Woman Who Lived, we discuss the change in Me's character, and how she got to where she is now. What similarities and differences do we see between her and the Doctor, and how would a young-appearing woman have to navigate within these time periods?
In our The Daemons review, we discuss the Third Doctor's way of interacting with those around him. Does his arrogance get in the way? How does the UNIT team work in this story, even with the Brig's helicopter in danger? And how does the inclusion of things like witchcraft and Morris Dancing feel in the story?

Ep 038: Defending the Village People
In this episode of The Web of Queer we review the 5th story in the current series, The Girl Who Died, and discuss how other characters in Doctor Who react to queer characters.
In our review of The Girl Who Died, we talk about the evolving relationship between the Doctor and Clara. Should the Doctor really think he has a duty of care? Which parts of the story stretch science, and which parts made us squee?
In our discussion, we talk about the reactions we see on screen to various queer characters. Which is a bigger shock, that Vastra is married to Jenny, or that she's a lizard? Are people really paying attention to who Captain Jack is flirting with? How many people know about Missy's gender history? And can people's reactions to a character tell us more than that character's own behaviour does?
00:54 The Girl Who Died review
27:30 Character Reactions discussion
Ep 037: Books and Bootstraps
On this episode of The Web of Queer, we review the fourth story of series nine, Before the Flood, and the Second Doctor story The Mind Robber.
In our Before the Flood review, we discuss the change in pace of the second part of this story. How many of us googled the Bootstrap Paradox? What did we think of the opening, the Fisher King, and the romance storylines?
In our The Mind Robber review, we dive into a bit of history about this unusual and sometimes meta story of fiction in fiction. Jessica and Mikayla share their first impressions of Zoe, Stephen reveals the impact of seeing it as it was first broadcast, and we all ponder which Jack really came first.
01:55 Before The Flood review
30:41 The Mind Robber review
Ep 036: Under the Weather
On this episode of The Web of Queer, we review the third episode of series nine, Under the Lake, and then briefly discuss Class, the new TV spinoff.
In our Under the Lake review, we talk about how well the atmosphere was set for the episode. What did we think of the characters, were we frightened by the ghosts, and what could possibly happen after that cliffhanger?
For our Class discussion, we take a quick a look at the writer, what we hope for the series, and if we think the new guy on the Who block might be good for the franchise.

Ep 035: The Storyline's Familiar
On this episode of The Web of Queer, we review the second episode of Series 9, The Witch's Familiar, and the Classic Fourth Doctor story, Genesis of the Daleks!
In our review of The Witch's Familiar, we discuss our continued love of the Missy and Clara combo. Were any of us pulled into believing in the softer side of Davros, or did we see the turn coming? And now that the sonic screwdriver is apparently gone, what do we think of its replacement?
In our Genesis of the Daleks review, our newer viewers finally meet Harry, but what did they think of him? They also met the Giant Clam, and have opinions about that too. We talk about Sarah Jane taking charge, how Davros has everyone fooled, and about the other genocides that the Doctor has been involved in. How might this story have an effect on his decisions in those?
00:43 The Witch's Familiar review
30:27 Genesis of the Daleks review
Ep 031: Eyebrows From Space
In this episode of The Web of Queer we review the Third Doctor story Spearhead From Space.
How much influence has this regeneration story had on future ones? What do we think of the Liz Shaw and Brigadier team? And what creeped us out more than the alien invaders?
Ep 030: Kiss Kiss Bi Pan
In this episode of The Web of Queer we review the Torchwood story Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and discuss the trope of the greedy bisexual.
In Kiss Kiss Bang Bang we talk about the group dynamics between the team, both professional and personal. What relationships are progressing, which ones are stopping, and why? What was the Time Agency really like and how does John Hart's arrival stir the pot?
In our discussion we tackle the media's portrayal of fictional bisexuals and pansexuals, and what impact that has for people in the real world. What do Jack, John and Ianto's stories tell an audience? What stereotypes might they be reinforcing? And how do stereotypes affect bisexual and pansexual people's lives?
00:56 Torchwood: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang review
30:07 Pansexuality and Bisexuality discussion
PoE: Human Resources Part 1
In this Pieces of Eight episode, we review the Big Finish story Human Resources Part One. We discuss how the Doctor adjusts to an office setting, what the Time Lords might be up to with Lucie and how we reacted to the cliffhanger.
Ep 029: Think Of The Children
In this episode of The Web of Queer we review the Sarah Jane Adventures episode Death of the Doctor and discuss whether some topics are suitable for children to see on TV.
In Death of the Doctor we compare continuity between the spinoff and the main show, revel in nostalgic references, assess thematic vulture aliens, and once again mock U.N.I.T.'s inability to be a covert operation.
In our Think of the Children discussion we talk about some complex situations that the world of Doctor Who can bring up, how children might react to them, and how they can help families have conversations about difficult subjects.
00:53 Sarah Jane Adventures: Death Of The Doctor review
33:40 Think Of The Children discussion
LT 004: Quantum Leap: Oh Boys
In this week's Loose Thread, we jump across the Atlantic to review "Running for Honor", an episode of the American time travel show, Quantum Leap. We discussed the show's premise, and how it was used to explore homophobia in the military during the 1960s, as well as contemporary 1990s attitudes.
Ep 028: Changing Times
In this episode of The Web of Queer we review the Eleventh Doctor story Closing Time, and then have a discussion on the status of queer rights in the 60s and whether that influenced the show.
For Closing Time, we talk about The Doctor and Craig's relationship, both how they perceive it and the assumptions that are made by those around them. How does the writing subvert tropes that we are used to seeing? And how many times can someone change their mind about a story?
In our discussion, we examine attitudes and laws regarding queer people at the time the show was just beginning. What kind of influences would have been around the people creating it? What queer BBC characters were around at that time, and what did it feel like to grow up in that era?
00:49 Closing Time review

LT 003: The Turing Test
In this Loose Thread episode we review the Eighth Doctor Adventure novel, "The Turing Test." With three separate narrators, how do we think the story keeps itself on track? We discuss how the changing perspectives impact how the reader might perceive the different characters and how successful we think the portrayal of Turing is.
PoE 004: No More Lies
In this Pieces of Eight episode we review the Big Finish story No More Lies. We discuss the non-linear storytelling, musical choices, and look forward to finding out where the arc is taking us.
Ep 027: Queens, Courts and Classic Contemplations
On this episode of The Web of Queer, we start The Trial of a Timelord with The Mysterious Planet and Jessica and Mikayla give their overall impressions on what they've seen of Classic Who so far.
In The Mysterious Planet, we talk about marriages, model shots, and population control. How well did the Valeyard present his arguments to the court, how well do The Doctor and Peri get along, and just how awesome were the women in power in this story?
For our discussion, Josh asks Mikayla and Jessica for their overall impressions of the Classic Who they've seen so far. What do they think of the classic Doctors, how have the companions held up to fan wisdom, and is there a divide between the Classic series and the current one?

Life On The Marsh - The "Massager"
As we left the hospital with Baby J. the nurse told us to bring everything on the counter; they would just throw it out if we didn't. So, I upended the pink plastic medical bin into a bag and didn't look in the bag again until we got home.
My husband Matt was holding the baby, my sister Jenny making dinner, the kids circling me with interest to see what treasures I had brought from the hospital. (You know, besides a baby). I pulled out five tubes of antibiotic ointment, about twenty syringes, blue gloves, adhesive tape and then a long cylinder of some sort with one tapered end and a twist on lid on the other. A flashlight? I twisted the end, but no light came on, instead it started to shake. I looked at my sister confused. She began to laugh.
"Is this what I think it is?" I asked.
Another comes over and looks at it with interest.
"Ooh, it's a back massager!" He takes it, turns it on and trots over to my husband where he starts running it up and down his father's back between the slats of the rocking chair. Ever the mature mother of five, I nearly collapse on the floor giggling.
I glared at him, paused, and decided that after an earlier conversation on hemorrhoids, (Which ended in a vehement declaration from one of my sons of, "Wow, I had NO idea that pooping could be so dangerous!") I was not even going to try to explain this one to the kids.
"I think we're going to keep the batteries and throw that away." I tell them.
"Oh, I think they can keep it, honey," Matt says with his classic mischievous grin.
"You can have it, Mommy," one child held it out most generously.
Now, Matt was the one laughing.
I came downstairs this morning to find our three year old running it up and down the dog's back. Later one of my son's was rubbing it on his sore neck. Throughout the day it cropped up in odd places, often causing the kids to ask why mommy was grinning. Amazingly, when rubbed on J.'s back, it did lull him right to sleep.
And the highlight of my day was during Bible study when my sister, Cathy, was praying blessings on Baby J. and my five year old walked up behind her and started rubbing a "personal massager" all over her unsuspecting aunt's shoulders.
<p>Very interesting. I will have to share with my pals at work. Great to see the worlds perspective from the eyes of children. THAT is why I work in Peds! They crack me up.

While vacuum sintering is the most widely used sintering practice for titanium, an alternative method uses purified argon for sintering powder-rolled titanium strip product. Argon is purified by passing it over titanium chips heated to 800 to 900 °C (1470 to 1650 °F).
The use of temperature cycling through the Ct-P transformation—880 °C (1620 °F) for unalloyed titanium—can promote densification; the effect is the most significant when heating from nto which lasts for —2 min.
Because large thermal lags exist in most vacuum furnaces, this technique is not practical for large production loads. In addition to normal sintering, a supplementary containerless HIP cycle can be used to improve density and mechanical properties (Ref 35, 39). Because the as-sintered density of P/M Ti-6Al-4V is 94 to 96% of theoretical, the porosity is not interconnecting, and densification can be achieved through the application of gas pressure and heat.

Renewable Portfolio Standards encourage renewable energy use in states throughout the country, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
California's standards are among the most ambitious in the U.S., requiring that 33% of the power provided by electric utilities come from renewable sources by 2020. Since the policy's implementation in 2002, solar capacity has grown tremendously as utilities shift focus away from fossil fuels.
Fossil fuel prices rely on rapidly changing global market prices that offer no stability to consumers.
Consider that while natural gas prices are at a current low, the last decade saw rapid shifts in pricing. Even if rates are low today, changes in supply and market pricing could increase future rates with little warning.
Traditionally cheap coal-fired electricity has steadily increased over the years as well, thanks to decreased overall production and higher transportation costs. If prices continue to fluctuate wildly, utilities that solely rely on fossil fuels will be forced to shift higher costs on to ratepayers.
California ratepayers are more insulated from those higher costs thanks to RPS policies. Unlike fossil fuels, electricity from solar is free from market speculation. Plus, since 2003, nearly 70% of all new grid capacity in California has come from renewable resources like solar and wind.
While initial startup costs for solar tend to be higher than fossil fuels, production is much cheaper. That's making it possible for utilities to meet their renewable energy requirements without passing huge costs on to consumers.
Renewable Portfolio Standard policies typically include cost-containment measures to protect consumers from any higher than expected costs. A study from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory said ratepayers usually experience cost impacts of 1.6% or less.
California's Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 requires that the state reduce its total greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.
Unfortunately, California's electric utilities still provide the majority of their electricity from fossil fuels, which are the main source of greenhouse gas emissions in California. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, burning coal, oil, and natural gas was responsible for 79% of harmful emissions in 2010.
Shifting away from fossil fuels and toward renewable energy is key to meeting California's emission reduction goals, making the RPS a valuable tool in the fight against climate change.
The Union of Concerned Scientists predicts that meeting the 33% renewable energy standard will displace nearly 13 million tons of greenhouse gases in 2020, or the equivalent of 10 to 15 new fossil fuel plants.
Without the RPS, it's doubtful that utilities would have taken steps to expand their renewable energy use on their own. That would make it nearly impossible to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by target amounts.
An unintended benefit of California RPS policies has been local job growth, particularly in the solar industry.
Between 1995 and 2012, employment in the California solar industry increased by over 166%. The majority of that growth occurred thanks to more aggressive RPS requirements, particularly since 2009. Between 2009 and 2012, solar capacity in California increased from just 712 MW to more than 2,074 MW.
The rapid rise in demand for solar capacity led to the creation of numerous businesses in the solar industry. Today, over 1,505 solar companies in California employ approximately 43,700 workers.
Those 43,700 workers are greatly contributing to local economies throughout California. Because solar jobs tend to be labor intensive and require in-person consultation, they can't be shipped overseas or out-of-state.
Renewable Portfolio Standards throughout the country have come under attack from organizations with special interests in fossil fuels.
By electing the right politicians and supporting groups who fight for solar, you can keep California's RPS strong. Find out more by exploring additional information on solar policies in California.

The wheels on the Bus go...
Even if, Sometimes it's better to just say 'neigh', our first summer on the road was one of a few great festivals, some severe setbacks, a lot of out-loud laughter, and many, many, many miles ....
First to Lulworth, for Camp Bestival, with Vannie, Simon (and Izzy), and a first run as a VIP area in the artists compound. Happy days indeed, with Sir Tim, Frankie Boyle, Howard Marks and the Bestival crew into the small ours of Sunday night…
Then a month off, as the day jobs took over at Eastnor, for the Big Chill, Crickhowell, for the Green Man, and in Norfolk for Shhhh.
Beachdown went down – a pity indeed as for some months we'd been set to be the artists viewing platform for the main stage, but without a main stage, there's little to view.
Over to Suffolk, and Festinho, as a part of the main stage arena and a second bar, ably looked after by Dan and his mates, before heading over to the Isle of Wight and Bestival itself, again in the artists compound, but this time as a full bar, with Nettie, Sasha, and Dan, before a final outing to Kent and a one-nighter-all-nighter put on by the gang from Shhhh...
Ooof.
Six outings for a first season, and we've ironed out most, if not all of any teething issues. The cocktails have been refined, the PA polished, and the boys, girls and assorted dinosaurs that have helped us out have all been brilliantly willing and able.
And the friends we've made? There's too many to list, frankly, but shouts out should go to the Jestival gang and Coopers Rage, all of whom made it their business to keep us in business, and to everyone that came aboard, and gave us such a good time on the decks, be it top, bottom, CD or vinyl.
See you next year for some of the same… and a bit more besides.
Hop on board, the water's lovely .....
We're not just an everyday big red double decker bus...
As if the open air top deck, the cow hide triple bed, two silver Chesterfield sofas, and one unique Bubblebench, and (of course) the on-board four person hot tub wasn't enough four wheeled fun...
We've the Bubblebar, with on tap bubbles (of course!), cocktails, and more, coming complete with a 100 m sq private Garden, a roster of the finest DJs, late opening, witty banter and endless hospitality.
All you have to do is conduct yourself in a manner becoming...
Available for private hire, the bus works equally well as
- a Backstage Bar, with conductors concocting any cocktail you can cope with,
- an Alternative Stage, with DJs or a 5 piece band playing to groupies in the hot tub and the bar flies below,
- a Luxury Camper 'Van', complete with a triple bed, and it's own loo, or
- a Promo Vehicle, able to promote your brand, anywhere, anytime.

Q: iOS app submission not working I am trying to submit an iOS app through iTunes Connect.
However, when I try to validate the app it gives me an error saying : "This app contains an embedded provisioning profile that is not associated with your account. Please use a provisioning profile associated with the Team ID.
Is this because I am using different accounts for creating the provisioning profiles and for iTunes connect ?

A: I'm guessing you have submitted your app before signed with a developer certificate from one account and now your trying to do it from another.
To fix it visit this website http://blog.hoachuck.biz/blog/2012/12/04/use-a-provisioning-profile-associated-with-team-id/
Edit

I do think that using different accounts for creating the provisioning profiles and for iTunes connect will cause the issue. So just switch the provisioning files from the prov. acct for the itunes connect account. Provisioning files are easy to make, and Apple has a tutorial on what to do when you try to create one.
