I was looking to put together some artsy tree photos when the vision of my favorite box elder tree came to mind.
I dropped it into Deep Dream Generator and then downloaded the tiny little sized image.
I thought I'd try the new update of ON1 which allows a person to resize a photo.
Could the program do a good job?
From 318kb's to 24mb. This could print at 16X20.
I think the program works. This will be my new book cover for my trees photo book.

INTERVIEWS
Glenn Losack: " Photography's New Conscience"
I had the opportunity to interview Glenn Losack, M.D. after a Facebook friend referred him to me. One of his themes of his photographs symmetry caught my eye . He is both a psychiatrist and a photojournalist. What a combination! His photos have appeared in National Geographic and American Photo magazines.
His story is incredible:
I discovered that SYMMETRY brought forth numerous fascinating subliminal, metaphorical, psychological and cultural themes that werenât evident in the original images [images before they were processed in Photoshop]. Symmetry also enhanced the asthetic beauty of images. I found that it didn't work for many images, but those that were symmetrizable successfully, I felt needed to be made public to instill intellectual analysis and discourse.
2. What image editing program do you use?
PHOTOSHOP CS4 the absolute KING of all applications. It is one of the greatest inventions of the modern era.
3. How long does it take to make an image?
I can spend hours on an image. Some I work on for days until I am satisfied. The average time is about a few hours. The real truth is an image is never finished. You have to though call it quits when you think youâve gotten the point across.
4. Whatâs your favorite image?
(He mentions two: YOKO- PRAGUE CZECH REPUBLIC and BLIND BABY SITTER- DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, pictured above)
An impossible question to answer. There are so many of them. My catalogue is close to 8000 images.
The two that come to mind is one that is owned by YOKO ONO ( the wife of John Lennon ) and the other made it into National Geographic.
5. What statement are you conveying in your image?
I have several goals with my photography. I am a devout advocate for the downtrodden, disenfranchised, scapegoated, handicapped, beggars of the world, etc⦠( Please go to the web site and peruse INDIAN BEGGARS). I have photographed in India for the last 20 years. I have photographed Leper colonies, mental hospitals, beggars of all types, self mutilating religious festivals, cremations, and many other subjects that the West have never seen or know very little about. I try to make my work on the disenfranchised palatable for my audience so that their first reaction is not one of shock or denial. I try to give the downtrodden honor dignity and respect.
Trained as a psychiatrist/medical doctor, I attempt to understand the inner world of my subjects; their personalities, their eccentricities and many times the oddities of humanity fascinate me. Basically I am trying to help my audience look at what is in general difficult to look at.
Thanks for allowing me to share my thoughts, ideologies and photography with you.

June Is National Burglary Prevention Month
The Burglary Prevention Council, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to the prevention of residential burglaries, has declared June as National Burglary Prevention month. In support of this, the Lego Police Department would like to remind residents that while no home can be 100 percent secure, the following safeguards can greatly reduce the risk of a residential burglary:
* Always close and properly secure all doors and windows.
* Create the illusion that you are home by using timers and lighting.
* Keep the perimeter of your home well lighted.
* Never leave clues that your home is unoccupied.
* Join or start a neighborhood watch program.
* Do not advertise valuable possessions to those outside your home.
* Perform a security check on your home by checking all doors and windows to make sure they lock securely.
* Lock up your valuables in a secured safe, and keep a record of items by photographing your inventory or noting the make, model, and serial numbers of equipment and other valuables in your home.
* Trim shrubbery away from windows, doors, and walkways.

Essa era a vista ruim que nossa cabana tinha em El Chaltén. Lembrei dessa por causa do programa do Bear Grylls hoje no Discovery.
Veja em All Sizes!
For some reason the autostitch program does not like Hard Rock Cafe, which it skipped twice. It should be there, to complete a 360 view.
it really wasnt that cold, even though I was in a tank top. I think this might be over-edited, it looked better in iPhoto, but oh well.
ps. I get this blueish/cold color by changing the temperature of the photo while editing. I pretty much do it to all my photos, I make the photo 'colder' most of the time.

Going from the flat(ish) gentle soft rolling hills of middle England, tamed by centuries of agriculture, to the rugged reality of northern Norway was an assault on my sense of perspective. Having hiked a short distance up to a high vantage point, my family and I were presented with a stunning vista of turquoise sea ringed by a wall of battleship grey mountains. In the bay lay a group of islands fringed with striking white beaches. Luckily, a camera, a tripod and Photoshop can create an image that takes in all this magnificence. I can’t help wonder if the residents of the fishing village of Sommaroy ever get so accustomed to this scene that they stop noticing it? Maybe they would be amazed and take time to just sit look at the green fields I had left behind (because I certainly don’t appreciate them as much as I should).

November 12th 2019 had been declared a 'catastrophic' bush fire risk day by the NSW Rural Fire Service from the Illawarra to the Hunter Region of the NSW east coast of Australia.
With high temperatures, low humidity and strong winds forecast by the Bureau of Metereology it was expected many homes, bushland and wildlife not to mention human life could be lost.
The Mid Coast Council area, just a bit further north was designated an Extreme Bush Fire warning on this day.
This was the first time since the new rating system had been put in place in late 2018 that such a 'catastrophic' fire risk warning had been issued.
This photo is taken at Tallwoods Village at Hallidays Point from the top of One Tree Hill, now known as One Dead Tree Hill because the only large tree on it has died and is now very dangerous and should be removed.
From here the views to the west as far as Mt Talawahl and to the north to Forster and Tuncurry are panoramic.
During the events of both the Darawank Bushfire of a few weeks earlier and the Hillvile Bush Fire pictured above this vantage point became a common daily meeting point for many people monitoring the progress of this most destructive fire the area has ever known.
This image is an IPhone X image and unfortunately while it handles daylight situations very well the camera is not up to scratch in darker evening landscape circumstances with images usually quite grainy.
I have attempted to denoise the shot a little along with a few other tweeks but fortunately I do have other images taken with my Canon DSLR that I have yet to process and I will upload them at some stage. I expect the quality of those images will be much better.
Luminar 4
This is actually the very first image I have #madewithluminar, a new photo editing program I've just purchased. (November 18th 2019)
After having previously purchased Luminar 3 early last year and having it lock up my computer I had Skylum refund my money.
I can now report on Luminar 4 positively and can say that the program does look to be quite useful.
Playing around with Photoshop Creative Cloud tonight. My results... I'm pleased to this point & I'm sure this program does much more. I can't wait to investigate it further.

A sneak preview of the top secret development of NASA's next generation rockets for the continuation of their space exploration program. Do not let the toy-like exterior fool you... for these are actually state-of-the-art autonomous spaceships, with highly sophisticated onboard instruments for secret experiments. What does Europe have in terms of UAVs? The mantis.
Actually, it's more serious than that. Last Thursday, Aug. 7, my son got a pop-up which said something that scared him. It said something and then said that he needed to download this program to remove the system problem (or something like this according to him). So he did (without checking with me first). But, in the process he actually did add spyware (or a trojan) or something like that. Anyway, I looked up the program he added which is called Antivirus XP 2008. Whatever you do, don't ever download it. It will surely drive you nuts. It's sure driving us nuts.
So, I'm sorry for skipping out on you. It appears we'll have to take our computer to a specialist to get this nasty spyware (at least I think that's what the response to my google search said it is) removed. Sorry I can't visit. I'm going to go ahead and shut back down. This program does automatically continue to restart my computer if we let it idle for even a little bit. Plus, I keep getting some stupid pop-ups. SORRY!!!!!!!
First off, this is a sunset shot combined with a shot from the fireworks finale meaning that the fireworks did not go off during the peak of sunset.
Having said that, I thought it would look really cool to combine the two after witnessing the best sunset colour I've ever seen at the Victoria Symphony Splash.
Combing the two images was done via tedious and time consuming manual blending techniques and not done by putting the images in the computer and letting an HDR program do it all.
Aqui ta tudo beleza.
Sobrevivemos um furacao, so alegria.
Sem internete por alguns dias, arvores quebradas em frente de casa, poucos danos materias.
O meu Deus, que furia foi essa?
Acha que Deus tava irado.
Quando eu era pequeno e assistia aos enlatados da TV Americana, eu ficava pensando como era a vida e o cotidiano
desse meu povo.
A mulher gostosa, abria a porta, pegava a pastinha James Bond do marido, servia a ele um Martini, e depois de alguns minutos comecava a arrumar o jantar.
Carne ou galinha, brocolis, batata pure, uma taca de vinho e um beijo gostoso com gosto de alegria.
De manha, ela gentilmente pegava o terno do marido, arrumava a gravata que combinava e dava um beijinho intensional na gola branca da camisa, deixando a marquinha do baton.
Acho que eh por isso que o homem ta puto la em cima.
PQP, fui enganado, tem nada disso nao gente, era so mesmo no cinema ou na tv..
E minha mulher me da uma risada gentil, e fala.
"As mulheres naquele tempo eram estupidas."
To querendo logo eh reclamar com a gerencia.
Dotor doto, cahi num conto do vigario.
Bom, ja que eh assim mesmo neh, o melhor eh aderir aos tempos modernos.
Mas que eu queria ir ao programa do cara gordinho da Globo e reclamar eu queria.
Eu iria reclamar e tambem dar um tapa, um murro bem gostoso naquele podium.
Oh doido, acho que to assistindo ate o Programa do Faustao...
Alo alo dona Detinha, do bairro Aparecida, um abraaaaco....
Hi, we just survived a small tornado last Sunday, no Internet for few days, no major damages, but, let me tell you....
It's a bit scary to came home and see your front Oak tree broken in half....
Power wires all over the place, broken tail lights and debris.
Well, God is probably mad at as I think.
So, glad to be back, best wishes to all of you my friends.

In recent years there has been a relentless and vociferous campaign by militant atheists intent on attacking and ridiculing religion. Numerous books have been written on the subject and, it seems, at every opportunity the secular establishment and media seeks out atheists or secular humanists to give what amounts to a jaundiced attack on religion.
For the most part, the opinions they express are the same old, worn out slogans we have heard over and over again, and can only be described as ideological propaganda.
We are all familiar with the atheist slogans such as: 'religion is irrational nonsense'.
Or that: 'believing in God is no different from believing in Santa or fairies.'
Or that: 'there is no evidence for God'.
Or that: 'religion is just a crutch for weak-minded people'
Or that: 'religion is outdated, superstitious nonsense',
Or that: 'religion is just for ignorant, unintelligent, backward people who know nothing about science'
Or that: belief in God is 'just a lazy way of filling gaps in knowledge'.
Or that: believing in God is 'like believing the Earth is flat'.
Or that: Christians 'believe in an old man in the sky with a beard'
Or that: Christians 'believe in a sky fairy'.
Or that: Christianity/the Bible was 'invented by ignorant, bronze age, goat herders'.
Or that: Belief in a God 'is just a delusion'.
Or that: Christians have 'an imaginary, invisable friend'.
Etc. etc.
As we will show later, such slogans are either ignorant nonsense, or devised as deliberate, ideological propaganda.
If you remember, several years ago, atheists, such as Richard Dawkins, decided to ramp up their anti-religious propaganda effort with slogans on buses. It originated in Britain, but spread to several other countries.
It was known as the Atheist Bus Campaign.
The Atheist Bus Campaign, set out to convince you that a loving creator God does not exist, that you have no prospect of eternal life and that all you can look forward to is eternal oblivion.
Atheists have no evidence to back up that assertion. In fact logic, natural law and the basic principles of the scientific method rule out their naturalistic alternative to a creator as impossible.
They invent all sort of bizarre scenarios to replace a supernatural first cause (God), they even try to present their fantastical, naturalistic replacements for God as 'scientific'. Please don't be taken in by it.
Their naturalistic replacements for God are illogical, they all violate natural laws and the basic principles of science.
Atheism is rightly referred to as the no-hope philosophy.
Their ultimate goal and pinnacle of their short life is - eternal oblivion.
And, quite perversely, they want to convince you that is all you can look forward to.
Please don't be dragged down with them into that depressing pit of hopelessness.
The Good News is that they are entirely wrong, and furthermore, it is not just an opinion. It can be satisfactorily demonstrated by logic, natural law, and the basic principle of the scientific method ......
Read on .... and you will understand, why atheists can never replace God, however much they try.
Their Atheist Bus Campaign is deceitful because atheists have no logical or scientific grounds for claiming "There's Probably No God", in fact, the evidence of applied logic and natural law, is completely the contrary. The atheist claim that there's probably no God is just an unsubstantiated opinion based only on their own ideological beliefs.
You may wonder why they inserted the word 'probably'? Obviously, they knew that if they were challenged to present evidence for the truth of their advertisement and had to defend it in court, they would be unable to do so. Science and logic can be used to prove they have no alternative to a supernatural first cause, and they know it.
For atheists to propose that believing there is no God, is somehow a reason to stop worrying and the recipe for an enjoyable life, is perverse in the extreme.
For most sane people it would be the opposite - a road to depression, hopelessness, and a feeling that this short existence is worthless. It will all end in oblivion, and you might as well never have lived.
Thankfully, atheists are demonstrably wrong, there is every reason for hope - as we will show - a loving Creator definitely does exist. Your life is not a few short, stressful and worthless years leading to eternal oblivion. You are a unique, valuable, person, specially created out of supreme love, every human life is of infinite value right from the moment of conception. Humans really are special and not just intelligent apes, or a mere collection of atoms, as atheists would have you believe You can live forever in eternal bliss - that is the gift of life the loving Creator of the universe offers you, and it is all offered for free.
Please don't be fooled ... people who think for themselves (the REAL freethinkers), are able to see right through the atheist hype and propaganda. Ignore the relentless bombardment of atheist propaganda, such as the atheist bus campaign. Seek out and learn the real truth and the truth will set you free.
Please read on and you will understand ......
Because there is a law of cause and effect, the universe can't and won't create itself from nothing.
Consider this ....
A creator God (or supernatural first cause) has been made redundant and the final gap (pertaining to the so-called God of the gaps) has now been filled ... who says so?
Atheists, along with the secularist pundits in the popular media.
Why do they say that?
Because they believe that the greatest brain in atheism - Stephen Hawking, has finally discovered the secret of the origin of the universe and a naturalistic replacement for God.
The atheist replacement for God is summed up in a single sentence written by Hawking:
"Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing"
That is it .... problem solved - apparently!
The secularists in the popular media loved it, as far as they were concerned the problem certainly was solved. Hawking had finally dealt the fatal blow to all religion, especially Christianity. No need to question it, if a revered scientist of his calibre, is so sure of how the universe came into being, it must be correct.
The new atheists loved it, they wasted no time in proclaiming the ultimate triumph of 'science' over religious mythology and superstition.
So just how credible is the atheist claim that God has been made redundant?
And just how 'scientific' is Hawking's replacement for God?
Shall we analyse it?
"Because there is a law of gravity ....
So,
1) If the law of gravity existed, how is that nothing?
AND -
2) Where did the law of gravity come from?
AND -
3) How can a law of gravity exist before that which gravity relates to ... i.e. matter?
"the universe can and will create itself from nothing"
4) How can something create itself, without pre-existing its own creation?
(A) could possibly create (B), but how could (A) create (A)? Of course it can't.
5) What about the 'nothing' that is not really nothing, as most people understand 'nothing', but a bizarre 'nothing' in which a law of gravity exists. A nothing which is actually a 'something' where a law of gravity is presumably some sort of eternally, existent entity?
AND -
6) Is Hawking implying that the self-creation of the universe is made possible by the pre-existence of the law of gravity?
Of course, natural laws are not creative agents, they simply describe basic properties and operation of material things. They can't create anything, or cause the creation of anything. Something which is a property of something, cannot create that which it is a property of.
So, even if we ignore the law of cause and effect which definitively rules out a natural, first cause of the universe, the atheist notion of the universe arising of its own volition from nothing is still impossible, and can be regarded as illogical and unscientific nonsense. Hawking's naturalistic replacement for God, presented in his single sentence, and so loved by the new, atheist cabal, is obviously just contradictory and confused nonsense.
The truth, which atheists don't want to hear, is that atheism is intellectually and scientifically indefensible. That is why they always duck out of explaining how the concept of an uncaused, inadequate, natural first cause is possible.
The best they ever come up with, is something like "we don't really know what laws existed at the start of the universe".
However, the atheist claim that - we don't really know... is completely spurious.
We certainly do know that the Law of Cause and Effect is universal, there is no way round it.
The only reason atheists don't want to accept it, is ideological.
And ... isn't it strange, that the only laws atheists dispute are precisely those that interfere with their beliefs. For example, atheists seem pretty sure that one law existed .... the law of gravity (even prior to that which gravity is a property of … matter).
Why are they so sure that the law of gravity existed?
Because their naturalistic substitute for God, summed up in the sentence by Stephen Hawking, apparently requires that the law of gravity existed before anything else …..
Here it is again ...
‘Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing’ Stephen Hawking.
So, atheists DO KNOW for sure that the law of gravity existed, but they don’t really know what other laws existed at the start of the universe. They especially doubt that the Law of Cause and Effect existed.
AMAZING!
Well, how about this for a refutation of Hawking’s replacement for God, also summed up in a single sentence?
Because there is a Law of Cause and Effect, the universe can’t and won’t create itself from nothing!
That is something Stephen Hawking conveniently forgot.
Apparently, he accepts that the law of gravity existed, because he thinks it suits his argument, but he ignores the existence of other laws that positively destroy his argument.
So, now you know the truth about the best substitute for God that atheists have ever come up with.
IMPRESSED? I think not!
Why is it ATHEISTS that try to dispute the universality of natural laws?
According to their claims, atheists are supposed to be the champions of science. Yet we find in practice that it is actually theists who end up defending natural laws and the scientific method against those atheists who try to refute any laws and scientific principles that interfere with their naturalistic beliefs.
Whatever happened to the alleged conflict between science and religion?
That is revealed as purely, atheist propaganda. There is obviously much more conflict between atheism and science.
Why is the law of cause and effect so important?
Because it tells us that all natural entities, events and processes are contingent.
They are all subject to preceding causes. It tells us that natural entities and events are not autonomous, they cannot operate independently of causes.
That is such an important principle, it is actually the basis of the scientific method. Science is about looking for adequate causes of ALL natural events. According to science, a natural event without a cause, is a scientific impossibility.
Once you suggest such a notion, you are abandoning science and you violate the basic principle of the scientific method.
What about the first cause of the universe and everything?
How does that fit in?
Well, the first cause was obviously a unique thing, not only unique, but radically different to all NATURAL entities and occurrences. The first cause HAD to be an autonomous entity, it HAD to be eternally self-existent, self-reliant, NON-CONTINGENT ... i.e. it was completely independent of causes and the limitations that causes impose.
The first cause, by virtue of being the very first, could not have had any preceding cause, and obviously didn't require any cause for its existence. When we talk about the first cause, we mean the very first cause, i.e. FIRST means FIRST, not second or third.
The first cause also had to be capable of creating everything that followed it. It is responsible for every subsequent cause and effect that is, or has ever been. That means that nothing, nor the sum total of everything that followed the first cause, can ever be greater, in any respect, than the first cause.
So the idea that the first cause could be a natural entity or event is just ludicrous.
We know that the first cause is radically different to any natural entity, it is NOT contingent and that is why it is called a SUPERNATURAL entity, the Supernatural, First Cause (or Creator God). All natural events and entities ARE contingent without exception, so the first cause simply CANNOT be a natural thing.
That is the verdict of science, logic and reason. Atheists dispute the verdict of science and insist that the first cause was a 'natural' event which was somehow able to defy natural laws that govern all natural events.
Consequently, atheism can be regarded as anti-science. Which means .... the real enemy of atheism is science, not religion. And the real enemy of science is atheism, not religion.
An idea which seems to be popular with atheists at present, is a continuously, reciprocating universe, one which ends by running out of energy potential and then rewinds itself in an never ending cycle ..... this is an attempt to evade the fact that an uncaused, natural, first cause is impossible. They claim that, in this way a first cause, is not necessary. And that matter/energy is some sort of eternally existent entity.
So is it a valid solution?
Firstly .....
Matter/energy cannot be eternally existent in a cycle with no beginning).
Why?
Because all natural things are contingent, they have to comply with the law of cause and effect, so they cannot exist independently of causes. The nearest you could get to eternally existent matter/energy would be a very, long chain of causes and effects, but a long chain is not eternally existent, it has to have a beginning at some point. At the beginning there would still have to be a non-contingent first cause. So a long chain of causes and effects simply pushes the first cause further back in time, it can't eliminate it.
Secondly ....
It is pretty obvious that the idea of the universe simply rewinding itself in a never ending cycle, which had no beginning, is complete, unscientific nonsense. How such a proposal can be presented as serious science, beggars belief.
It seems atheists will try anything to justify their naturalist ideology. They apparently have no compunction about completely disregarding natural laws.
The Second Law of Thermodynamics rules out such atheist, pie-in-the-sky, origins mythology.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, the idea of a rewinding universe is tantamount to applying the discredited notion of perpetual motion - on a grand scale, to the universe.
Contingent things don't just rewind of their own accord.
The Second Law (not to mention common sense) rules it out.
Where does the renewed power or renewed energy potential come from?
If you wind up a clock, it doesn't rewind itself after it has stopped.
The universe had a beginning and it will have an end. That is what science tells us, it cannot rewind itself.
Such ridiculous, atheist musings are just a desperate attempt to wriggle out of the inevitable conclusion of logic, and the Law of Cause and Effect which are the real enemies of atheist ideology.
Once again atheism is hoisted on its own petard by natural law and science, not by religion.
A variation of the cyclical universe is the argument proposed by some that the universe just is?
Presumably they mean that the universe is some sort of eternally-existent entity with no beginning - and therefore not in need of a cause? Once again an eternally self-existent universe is not possible for the same reason outlined above.
In addition ....
The Second Law of Thermodynamics tells us the universe certainly had a beginning and will have an end. The energy potential of the universe is decreasing from an original peak at the beginning of the universe. Even the most rabid atheists seem to accept that. Which is why most of them believe in a beginning event, such as a big bang explosion.
So the question is how did it (the universe) begin to exist, not whether it began to exist?
Which takes us back to the question of the nature of the very first cause.
It can only be one of two options,
an uncaused, natural first cause
OR
an uncaused, supernatural first cause.
An uncaused, NATURAL first cause is impossible.
Thus the only possible option is a supernatural first cause, i.e. God.
Atheists can’t refute the Law of Cause and Effect which is so devastating to their naturalist agenda, so they regularly invent bizarre scenarios which ignore natural laws, and hope people won’t notice. If anyone does they just brush it off with remarks like “we just don’t know ” what laws existed prior to the beginning of the universe.
Sorry, the atheist apologists may not know …. but all sensible people do know, we certainly know what is impossible ….
And we certainly know that you cannot blithely step outside the constraints of natural laws and scientific principles, as atheists do, and remain credible.
We know that natural laws describe the inherent properties of matter/energy. Which means wherever matter/energy exist, the inherent properties of matter/energy also exist - and so do the natural laws that describe those properties. if the universe began, as some propose, with a cosmic egg. or a previous universe, those things are still natural entities with natural properties, and as such would be subject to natural laws. So the idea that there were natural events leading up to the origin of the universe that were not subject to natural laws is ridiculous.
The atheist claim; that we just don't know, is not valid, and should be treated as the silliness it really is.
The existence of the law of cause and effect is essential to the scientific method, but fatal to the atheist ideology.
SO ....
Is the law of cause and effect really universal?
Causation is necessary for the existence of the universe, but ALSO for the existence of any natural entities or events that may have preceded the creation of the universe.
In other words, causation is necessary for all matter/energy and all natural entities and occurrences, whether within the universe or elsewhere.
ALL natural entities are contingent wherever they may be, whether in some sort of cosmic egg, a big bang, a previous universe or whatever.
Contingency is an inherent character of all natural entities, so it is impossible for any natural entity to be non-contingent.
Which means you simply CANNOT have a natural entity which is UNCAUSED, anywhere.
If, for example, matter/energy was not contingent at the start of the universe, or before the universe began, how and why would it be contingent now?
Why would nature have changed its basic character to an inferior one?
If matter/energy once had such awesome, autonomous power - if it was, at some time, self-sufficient, not reliant on causes for its operation and existence, and not restricted by the limitations causes impose, it would effectively mean it was once an infinite, necessary, self-existent entity, similar to God.
Now if matter once had the autonomous, non-contingent powers of a god, why would it change itself to a subordinate character and role, when it became part of the universe?
Why would it change to a role where it is limited by the strictures of natural laws. And where it cannot operate without a preceding, adequate cause?
To claim matter/energy was, at one time, not contingent, not subject to causes (which is what atheists have to claim) – is to actually imbue it with the autonomous power of a god.
That is why atheism is really just a revamped version of pagan naturalism.
By denying the basic, contingent character of matter/nature, atheism effectively deifies nature, and credits it with godlike powers, which science clearly tells us it doesn’t possess.
Thus, if anyone dismisses causality, they effectively deify matter/nature.
Which means they have chosen the first of the 2 following choices …
1. Atheism ... the unscientific, illogical belief in a natural, uncaused god (of matter or nature) which violates natural laws - which science recognises restrict its autonomy?
2. Theism ... the logical belief in an uncaused, supernatural God, which created matter and the laws that govern matter. And therefore does not violate any laws, is not contingent, and thus has completely unrestricted autonomy and infinite powers?
Which one would you choose?
Which one do scientists who respect natural laws and the scientific method choose?
The great, scientific luminaries and founders of modern science, such as Isaac Newton, Michael Faraday, Louis Pasteur etc., in fact, nearly all of the really great scientists and founders of modern science, had no doubts or problem understanding that choice, and they readily chose the second (theism), as the only logical option.
So, by choosing the second - a supernatural first cause – rather than meaning you are anti-science or anti-reason or some sort of uneducated, superstitious, religious nut (as atheists frequently claim) actually puts you in the greatest of scientific company.
To put it another way, who would you rather trust in science, such scientific giants as: Newton, Pasteur, Faraday, Von Braun, Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, Mendel, Marconi, Kelvin, Babbage, Pascal, Herschel, Peacock etc. who believed in a supernatural, first cause?
OR,
the likes of: Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, Lawrence Krauss, Stephen Hawking, Daniel Dennett etc. who believe in an uncaused, natural, first cause?
No contest!
We can see that atheists are anti-science, because they treat natural law and the whole principle of the scientific method with utter contempt, and all the while, they masquerade as the champions of science to the public.
The question of purpose ....
A further nail in the coffin of bogus, atheist science is the existence of order.
Atheists assume that the universe is purposeless, but they cannot explain the existence of order.
The development of order requires an organizational element.
To do useful work, or to counter the effects of entropy, energy needs to be directed or guided.
Raw energy alone actually tends to increase the effects of entropy, it doesn't increase order.
The organizational principle in living systems is provided by the informational element encoded in DNA.
Atheists have yet to explain how that first, genetic information arose of its own volition in the so-called Primordial Soup?
Natural laws pertinent to all natural entities, they guide the behaviour of energy and matter, but also serve to limit it, because natural laws are based only on the inherent properties of matter and energy.
So ... natural laws describe inherent properties of matter/energy, and natural processes operate only within the confines of natural laws which are based on their own properties. They can never exceed the parameters of those laws.
The much acclaimed, Dawkinsian principle that randomness can develop into order by means of a sieving process, such as shaken pebbles being sorted by falling through a hole of a particular size is erroneous, because it completely ignores the regulatory influence of natural laws on the outcome, which are not at all random.
If we can predict the outcome in advance, as we can with Dawkins' example, it cannot be called random. We CAN predict the outcome because we know that the pebbles will behave according to the regulatory influence of natural laws, such as the law of gravity. If there was no law of gravity, then Dawkins' pebbles, when shaken, would not fall through the hole, they would not be sorted, they would act completely unpredictably, possibly floating about in the air in all directions. In that case, the randomness would not result in any order. That is true randomness.
Dawkins' randomness, allegedly developing into order, is not random at all, the outcome is predictable and controlled by natural laws and the inherent properties of matter. He is starting with 2 organizational principles, natural laws and the inherent, ordered structure and properties of matter, and he calls that randomness!
Bogus science indeed!
This tells us that order is already there at the beginning of the universe, in the form of natural laws and the ordered composition and structure of matter .... it doesn't just develop from random events.
A major problem for atheists is to explain where natural laws came from?
In a purposeless universe there should be no regulatory principles at all.
Firstly, we would not expect anything to exist, we would expect eternal nothingness.
Secondly, even if we overlook that impossible hurdle, and assume by some amazing fluke and contrary to logic, something was able to create itself from nothing ….. we would expect the ‘something’ would have no ordered structure, and no laws based on that ordered structure. We would expect it to behave randomly and chaotically.
This is an absolutely fundamental question to which atheists have no answer. The basic properties of matter/energy, and the universe, scream …. ‘purpose’.
Atheists say the exact opposite.
Furthermore, if we consider the accepted, atheist belief; that matter is inherently predisposed to produce life and the genetic information for life, whenever environmental conditions are conducive (so-called abiogenesis), where does that predisposition for life come from? Once again, atheists are hoisted on their own petard, and the atheist idea of a random, purposeless, universe is left completely in tatters.
It is the atheist ideology that is anti-science, not necessarily individual scientists.
There may be sincere, atheist scientists who respect the scientific method and natural laws, but they are wedded to an ideology that - when push comes to shove, does not respect natural laws.
It is evident that whenever natural laws interfere with atheist naturalist beliefs, the beliefs take precedence over the rigorous, scientific method. It is then that natural laws are disregarded by atheists in favour of unscientific fantasies which are conducive to their ideology.
Of course, in much day-to-day practical science and technology, the question of violating laws doesn't even arise, and we cannot deny that in the course of such work, atheists will respect the scientific method of experiment and observation within the framework of the Law of Cause and Effect and other established laws of science.
Bizarrely, It is a different matter entirely, when it comes to hypotheses about origins. It then becomes an 'anything goes' situation. The main criteria then seems to be that it doesn’t matter whether your hypothesis violates natural laws (all sorts of excuses can be made as to why natural laws need not apply), all that matters is that it is entirely naturalistic, and can be made to sound plausible to the public.
However, the same atheist scientists would not entertain anything in general, day-to-day science, that is not completely in accordance with the scientific method, they make an exception ONLY with anything to do with origins, whether it be the origin of the universe, or the origin of life, or the origin of species.
Atheism is not simply passive non-belief, you can only be a ‘genuine’ atheist if you proactively believe in the following illogical and unscientific propositions:
1. A natural, first cause of the universe that was ‘uncaused’.
2. A natural, first cause of the universe that was patently not adequate for the effect, (a cause which was able to produce an effect far greater than itself and superior to its own abilities).
3. That the universe created ITSELF from nothing.
4. That natural laws simply arose of their own accord, without any reason, purpose or cause.
5. That energy potential at the start of everything material was able to wind itself up from absolute zero, of its own accord, without any reason, purpose or cause.
6. That the effect of entropy (Second Law of Thermodynamics) was somehow suspended or didn’t operate to permit the development of order in the universe.
7. That life spontaneously generated itself, of its own volition, from sterile matter, contrary to: the Law of Biogenesis, the laws of probability, the Second Law of Thermodynamics, Information Theory and common sense.
8. That the complete human genome was created by means of a long chain of copying mistakes of the original, genetic information in the first living cell, (mutations of mutations of mutations, etc. etc.).
9. That the complex DNA code was produced by chemical processes.
10. That the very first, genetic information, encoded in the DNA of the first living cell, created itself by some unknown means.
11. That matter is somehow inherently predisposed to develop into living cells, whenever conditions are conducive to life. But such a predisposition for life just arose of its own accord, with no purpose and with no apparent cause.
12. That an ordered structure of atoms, guiding laws of physics, order in the cosmos, order in the living cell and complex information, are what we would expect to occur naturally in a purposeless universe.
The claim of atheists to be the champions of science and reason is clearly bogus.
They think they can get away with it by pretending to have no beliefs.
However, when seriously challenged to justify their dogmatic rejection of a Supernatural First Cause, they indirectly espouse the unscientific beliefs outlined above, in their futile attempts to refute the evidence for a supernatural first cause.
Of course, whenever possible, they avoid declaring those beliefs explicitly, but you don’t need to be very astute to realize that relying on those beliefs is the unavoidable conclusion of their arguments.
That is why atheism is intellectually bankrupt and is doomed to the dustbin of history. And that is why we are seeing such a rise in militant, evangelizing, atheist zealots, such as Richard Dawkins and the late Christopher Hitchens.
Their crusading, bravado masks their desperation that the public is so hard to convince. What Dawkins et al need to face is that they are in no position to attack what they consider are the bizarre beliefs of others, when their own beliefs (which they fail to publicly acknowledge) are much more bizarre.
What about Christianity and pagan gods?
Atheists frequently try to dismiss and ridicule the idea of a Creator by comparing it to the numerous, pagan gods that people have worshipped throughout history.
Do they have a good point?
Certainly not, this is just a red herring ….
Other gods, cannot be the first cause or Creator.
Idols of wood or stone, or the Sun, Moon, planets, Mother Nature, Mother Earth etc. are all material, contingent things, they cannot be the first cause.
They are rejected as false gods by the Bible and by logic and natural laws.
They are considered gods by people who worship things which are 'created' rather than the Creator, which the Bible condemns.
In fact, they are much more similar to the atheist belief in the powers of a naturalistic entity to create the universe, than they are to the one, Creator God of Christianity.
For example, the pagan belief in the creative powers of Ra (the Sun god) is similar to the atheist belief that raw energy from the Sun acting on sterile chemicals was able to create life.
So atheist mythology credits the Sun (Ra) with the godlike power of creating life on Earth. And thus, atheism is just a revamped version of paganism.
Just like paganism, atheism rejects worship of a Supernatural, First Cause, and rather chooses to worship created, natural entities, imbuing them with the same godlike powers, that theists attribute to the Creator.
There is nothing new under the Sun ... We can see that atheism is just the age old deception of ancient paganism, revisited.
The Creator is a Supernatural, First Cause, which is not a contingent entity, nothing like the pagan gods, but rather a self-existent, necessary entity. As the very first cause of everything in the universe, it cannot be contingent (it cannot rely on anything outside itself for its existence, i.e. it is self-existent) and therefore it cannot be a material entity.
The first cause is necessary because, not being contingent, it necessarily exists.
If anything exists that is not contingent, it has to have within itself everything necessary for its own existence. If it is also responsible for the existence of anything outside itself (which as the first cause of the universe, we know it is) it is also necessary for the existence of those things, and has to be entirely adequate for the purpose of bringing them into being and maintaining their continued existence. It is not subject to natural laws, which only apply to natural events and effects, because, as the first cause, it is the initiator and creator of everything material, including the laws which govern material events, and of time itself.
The atheist view of a natural first cause is not even rational, to propose that all the qualities I have mentioned above could apply to a material entity is clearly ridiculous. But apparently, atheism has no regard for natural laws or logic. Atheists get round it by simply dressing up their irrational beliefs to make them appear ‘scientific’.
This combined with rants and erroneous and derisory slogans about religious myths and superstition makes it all seem perfectly reasonable. Unfortunately, those with little knowledge, or who can’t be bothered to think for themselves are taken in by it.
Atheists repeatedly claim that they have refuted the law of cause and effect by asking : So what caused God then?
How true is that?
The ... what caused God? argument is a rather silly argument which atheists regularly trot out. All it demonstrates is that they don't understand basic logic.
The question to always ask them is; what part of FIRST don't you understand?
If something is the very FIRST, it means there is nothing that precedes it. First means first, not second or third.
That means that the first cause cannot be a contingent entity, because a contingent entity depends on something preceding it for its existence. In which case, if something precedes it, it couldn't be FIRST.
All natural entities, events and effects are contingent ... that is why the Law of Cause and Effect states that ... every NATURAL effect requires an adequate cause.
That means that the first cause cannot be a natural entity. An UNCAUSED, NATURAL event or entity is ruled out as not possible by the Law of Cause and Effect.
Therefore the very FIRST CAUSE of the universe, which we know cannot be caused, by virtue of it being FIRST (not second or third) CANNOT be a natural entity or event.
Thus we deduce that the first cause ... cannot be contingent, cannot be a natural entity, and cannot be subject to the Law of Cause and Effect.
So the first cause has to be non-material, i.e. supernatural.
The first cause also has to have the creative potential to create every other cause and effect that follows it.
In other words, the first cause cannot be inferior in any respect to the properties, powers or qualities of anything that exists...
The effect cannot be greater than the cause....
So we can thus deduce that the first cause is: UNCAUSED, SUPERNATURAL, self-existent, and capable of creating everything we see in the existing universe.
If there is life in the universe, the first cause must have the ability to create life,
If there is intelligence in the universe, the first cause must have the ability to create intelligence.
If there is information in the universe, the first cause must have the ability to create information.
If there is consciousness in the universe, the first cause must have the ability to create consciousness. And so on and on. If it exists, the first cause is responsible for it, and must have the ability to create it.
That is the Creator God … and His existence is supported by impeccable logic and adherence to the demands of natural law.
Atheists often say: you can’t fill gaps in knowledge with a supernatural first cause.
But we are not talking about filling gaps, we are talking about a fundamental issue ... the origin of everything in the material realm.
The first cause is not a gap, it is the beginning - and many of the greatest scientists in the history of science had no problem whatsoever with the logic that - a natural, first cause was impossible, and the only possible option was a supernatural creator.
Why do atheists have such a problem with it?
Atheists also seem to think that to explain the origin of the universe without a God, simply involves explaining what triggered it, as though its formation from that point on, just happens automatically.
This has been compared by some as similar to lighting the blue touch paper of a firework. They think that if they can propose such a naturalistic trigger, then God is made redundant.
That may sound plausible to some members of the public, who take such pronouncements at face value, and are somewhat in awe of anything that is claimed to be 'scientific'.
But it is obvious to anyone who thinks seriously about it, that a mere trigger is not necessarily an adequate cause.
A trigger presupposes that there is some sort of a mechanism/blueprint/plan already existing which is ready to spring into action if it is provided with an appropriate trigger. So a trigger is not a sole cause, or a first cause, it is merely one contributing cause.
Natural things do only what they are programmed to do, i.e. they obey natural laws and the demands of their own pre-ordered composition and structure. Lighting blue touch paper would do absolutely nothing, unless there is a carefully designed and manufactured firework already attached to it.
What about the idea proposed by some atheists that space must have always existed, and therefore the first cause was not the only eternally, uncaused self-existent power?
This implies that the first cause was limited by a self-existent rival (space,) which was also uncaused, and therefore the first cause could not be infinite and could not even be a proper first cause, because there was something it didn’t cause i.e. ‘space’.
There seems to be some confusion here about what ‘space’ actually is.
Space is part of the created universe, it is what lies between and around material objects in the cosmos, if there were no material objects in the cosmos, there would be no space. The confusion lies in the failure to distinguish between empty space and nothing. Nothing is the absence of everything, whereas space is a medium in which cosmic bodies exist. ‘Empty’ space is just the space between objects. So space is not an uncaused, eternally self-existent entity, it is dependent on material objects existing within it, for its own existence.
What about nothing? Is that an uncaused eternally self-existent thing? Firstly, it is not a thing, it is the absence of all things. So has nothing always existed? Well, yes it essentially would have always existed, but only if the first cause didn’t exist. If there is a first cause is that is eternally self-existent, then there is no such thing as absolute nothing, because nothing is the absence of everything. If a first cause exists (which it had to), then any proposed eternal ‘nothing’ has always contained something, and therefore can never have been ‘nothing’.
What about the idea that the first cause created everything material from nothing? Obviously, the ‘nothing’ that is meant here is … nothing material, i.e. the absence of any material entities.
The uncaused, first cause cannot be material, because all material things are contingent, so the first cause brought material things into being, when nothing material had previously existed. That is what is meant by creation from nothing.

This is what I use to lay my tracks. Attach the blue piece to your cross axle piece. Click on the green piece one time, drag it down until the wheel barely clears the tread piece. Click the select all icon, drag the entire model over the tread until it lines up. After that, it is just a matter of duplicating treads until you reach a gear. Then use the hinge tool and "bend" the links around the gears. Takes a bit of practice, but once you get it, it goes pretty fast. Do not rely on the number of treads that LDD requires, the program does not account for tightness or looseness in the chain links. The links sometimes won't get really close to some gears, you just have to fudge it a bit. I saved the "track laying helper" as a file so that I can import it quickly into a model. Hope this helps. Any probs just ask.

Day 132 of the 365 Journey.
“WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCTION MAGGOT? ARE YOU STUPID OR SOMETHIN’?”
“Stupid is as stupid does sir” (Haha…ok cheesey)
“OH MY STARS, WE’VE GOT A COMEDIAN HERE! ARE YOU TELLIN’ ME THAT YOU WANT BACK INTO MY P90X PROGRAM? DO WANT YOUR MOMMY AND DADDY’S HELP? DO YOU THINK I’M YOUR PARENT? OH MOMMY I’M TIRED, OH MOMMY I’M SORE! OH MOMMY WIPE MY NOSE CAUSE I GOT FRICKEN SNOT BUBBLE!!! I NEED A VACATION. I WANNA TAKE A NAP, I WANNA GO DIVING WITH SHARKS…BLAH BLAH FRICKEN BLAH. THIS IS NOT CALLED P91X. IT IS NOT CALLED P95X, NOR IS IT CALLED P104X! THE ONLY WAY YOUR GETTIN’ ANYWHERE CLOSE TO MY P90X PROGRAM IS STARTING BACK AT THE BEGINNING! 90 DAYS THAT’S ALL I ASK! YOU WILL LOVE TO HATE THIS PROGRAM! NOW DROP AND GIVE ME 10!
FRONT LEANING REST POSITION………….…MOVE!
DOOOOOOOWN……UUUUP………DOOOOOOOOWN…………UUUUP…………..HALFWAY DOOOWN…….DOOOOOWN……UUUP. (Seven more of those….aHHHHHH)
So I obviously took a few weeks of from P90X in order to go on vacation. The last couple days prior to leaving there just wasn’t any time! I kind of look at it like my 365. I could take a bunch of photos in one day and then post them on their consecutive days, however I would be defeating the whole purpose of the project which is to shoot EVERYDAY. Same thing holds true for P90X. I could skip two weeks and drop back in where I left off, but there again it would kind of defeat the purpose. I know…I’m the only one who would actually know and probably care but it means a lot to me to do it the way it should be done. You can be the perfect person when everyone is watching but it’s what you do when no one is watching that really matters. So for my own self worth and sanity I’ll start my program over on Monday! Was Fiji worth it? HELL YEAH! I got to go to FIJI AND I get to keep working out! I win both ways!
DOOOOOOOWN……UUUUP………DOOOOOOOOWN…………UUUUP…………..HALFWAY DOOOWN…….DOOOOOWN……UUUP. (Four more of those….aHHHHHH)

Algumas pessoas já sabem, mas essa semana que passou recebi uma noticia muito triste referente a uma amiga muito querida, desde do meu antigo flickr já fiz varias homenagens para ela, desde de minha entrada aqui anos atras.
A Bianca esta hospitalizada em Coma no Cti e passando pelo mesmo problema que a pouco tempo levou uma amiga de infancia que vocês devem lembrar...
Esta havendo uma corrente muito grande de orações para que Deus possa operar onde os médicos não estão mais conseguindo, temos fé que Deus costuma operar quando a palavra final dos médicos é não.
Por isto estou postando esta VITORIA para vida da Bianca e explicar que por esta chateado com toda essa situação, ando um pouco desanimado de comentar nas fotos, apesar de esta vendo a grande maioria das atualizações.
Para quem não lembra Bianca participou do programa do Raul Gil - AQUI ela canta uma das mais belas interpretaçoes de Explode Coraçao de Gonzaguinha

TODAS as fotos abaixo já foram postadas anteriormente e estão ABERTAS
Eu, Samantha e Sophia, elas faziam parte do Trio SSS (Silvia, Samantha & Sophia) que cantavam no programa do Velho Sem Pescoço .
Apesar de não ter mais estomago de ver aquele programa a coisa de uns tres a quatro anos, ainda tenho contato com varios que ali cantaram, Graças ao Bom Deus sou bastante querido por todos cantores que ali passaram,
Eu não tenho e tambem nao tinha muito saco de ficar acompanhando estes tipos de programas de domingo e sabado. no Caso do Raul Gil o que me chamou atenção foi a qualidade de cantores que estavam se apresentando ali, por coincidencias destas da vida eu conhecia o Sobrinho do Raul Gil e acabei atraves dele conhecendo alguns participantes.
São pessoas como eu e voce que merecem respeito, pois estao batalhando para sobreviver e realizar o sonho de viver daquilo que gostam de fazer, acho que muitos aqui devem entender bem o que é isto pois sonham tambem viver unica e exclusivamente da fotografia.
Pois eles tambem são assim, como muitos excelentes fotografos acabam fazendo aniversarios e casamentos todo sabado para sobreviver, eles cantam em shopping, casas noturnas e ate restaurantes, mas infelizmente tem aproveitadores do talento alheio como o Mestre de Cerimonia do programa.
Graças a Deus sou querido por eles, no caso do Velho do microfone folheado, ele muito provavelmente nem lembra de mim, mas se lembrar, deve falar horrores a meu respeito, e acreditem isto me deixa bastante orgulhoso, essas duas com certeza sabem bem o que estou falando, logico que elas são eticas e pelo envolvimente pessoal nunca falariam abertamente, mas como eu não participei de nada la ...
Mas se eu fosse contar aqui cada tramoia que acontece ali, passaria o fim de semana inteiro..
Tem gente que apronta com os outros na frente de todo mundo e pensa que ninguem ve, mas as pessoas reparam e comecam a observar o comportamento e atitudes, ele tanto fez, tanto aprontou que hoje vive sozinho, sem ibope algum, correndo atras das pessoas que antes despresava, mas continua a dizer que recebe milhoes de emails e que é o supra sumo...
As Duas hoje participam do Grupo Vox, junto com o Talentoso Wagner, ex namorado de uma e agora esposo da outra (tudo na perfeita harmonia)

Sexta Eu Posso
Outra vista do mesmo moai da foto anterior, dentro do aeroporto.
O aeroporto de Hanga Roa é bem pequeno, e não poderia ser diferente pelo tamanho da ilha e pelo pequeno volume de voos que recebe.
No entanto, tem uma das maiores pistas de pouso do planeta. Isto se deve à posição estratégica da ilha, isolada no Pacífico sul, o que gerou o interesse da Nasa. Quando do programa do ônibus espacial americano, a Nasa precisava de vários pontos de pouso alternativos para as naves, pois qualquer fato inesperado poderia fazer com que o pouso precisasse ocorrer em outro local não previsto anteriormente, e sem oportunidade de espera. A posição única da ilha a colocou como uma alternativa altamente desejável. O resultado disto é que o aeroporto da ilha ganhou uma das pistas de pouso mais longas do mundo, pois os ônibus espaciais demandam uma pista muito mais longa que a necessária aos aviões comerciais.
Quando você voar para a ilha, e na chegada uma densa camada de nuvens envolver seu avião, não tema: o pouso vai ser tranquilo. Na minha viagem, após horas de céu aberto (que permitiu algumas fotos, inclusive as que você viu), na chegada à ilha esta estava coberta por uma camada tão densa de nuvens que mal podia ser vista a asa do avião. Em que pese a cara de desespero dos passageiros, agravada por alguns solavancos da turbulência, o pouso foi tranquilo.
I've spent the last three weeks at the SVA pre-college program doing color film. I did a project on eating disorders, but I tried to keep it less focused on vanity and more on the psychological side of it. I didn't want something that said, "Look at me, I'm skinny, I have an eating disorder," because that would be glamorizing it. While many girls aspire to be skinny, there is nothing pretty about being sick.
