http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/10-ways-to-take-stunning-portraits/: Jul 14, 12:18am 58 reviews
http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/10-ways-to-take-stunning-portraits/; This article states that portraits can be given a "Wow" factor by breaking the traditional rules for portrait photography.

However, I wouldn't characterize any of the examples provided here as "stunning." Maybe one or two is "good" while the rest are messy.

Some truly stunning portraits successfully break the rules, but those are far between. If you're the least in doubt, stick to the rules.

Jonathan Mead & 5 Reasons You Should Treat Your Partner Like Your Dog: Apr 17, 2:23am 24 reviews self-improvement
http://jonathanmead.com/2008/04/15/5-reasons-you-should-treat-your-partner-li...; Think of it: human beings are animals just like any other animal. We're just one special kind of animals, just like a cow is another special kind of animals. It only makes sense to treat human beings as animals.

Treating your partner the way you treat your pets might connote some vice versa behavior though, in which case there are certain thoughts usually involving partners that I'd rather not entertain; it might make one take the term "doggie style" a little too literally.

Wikipedia defies 180,000 demands to remove images of the Prophet | Technology | …: Feb 17, 8:08am 6 reviews islam
http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2008/feb/17/wikipedia.islam; When the right-wing newspaper Jyllands-Posten originally solicited the drawings of the Muslem prophet, Jyllands-Posten explained in an accompanying text that Islam should learn to accept insults against their religion.

While I agree on the newspaper's stance on this matter, it underscores exactly why those images were included in the newspaper; that is, they were clearly intended as an insult against Islam.

Now, that's okay with me. Of course, the newspaper would have come off better in my view had it not rejected drawings of Jesus just one year earlier because the newspaper's editors feared it would anger its Christian readers.

The problem is that Denmark's right-wing government has taken a very hostile attitude against people of Muslem faith as a convenient form of racism: those people that have the "wrong" color conveniently happen to also be Muslem. The hostility that these political parties originally aimed at racial issues in the early 1990es are now masked as hostility against the religion of these very same people. Jyllands-Posten's use of the images thus became a symbolic expression of Denmark's hostility against people of the Middle East. It is quite appropriate that these people became outraged.

However, unlike Jyllands-Posten's motivation for publishing the images, Wikipedia's inclusion of the images serve to document the episode, and that must be defended.
