Billionaire investor Peter Thiel's sale of a majority of his Facebook stock was "completely outrageous," "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer said Tuesday.
Cramer blasted Thiel, a member of Facebook's board of directors, for unloading about 20 million shares on Thursday, with about 5 million shares remaining in his portfolio. (Read More: Don't Read Too Much Into Peter Thiel's Facebook Selling)
While acknowledging that Thiel had every legal right to sell Facebook stock, which has lost roughly half its value since its IPO, Cramer had harsh words for the move. (Read More: Say Goodnight Peter? Thiel Should Quit Facebook Board: Pro)
"The fact that something's legal doesn't mean it's fine in my eyes," he said. "In light of all the money Thiel has made over the years, it just seems tawdry to me that he's cashing out here."
Cramer added that he had hoped insiders would actually be buying stock "as a way to show faith in the underlying company."
"To me, Thiel's sale is basically saying, 'Hey, all you chumps who bought Facebook, listen up. I am a responsible investor and a megatron gazillionaire, and I know better than to own this piece of trash.' I hope you see that's the case, too," he said.
Cramer said that at the very least, Thiel should've canceled the prearranged sale, or Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg should have asked the billionaire to postpone it.
"It just seems wrong to me from the point view of the billions of dollars lost by everyone who came in after Facebook came public," he said.
"Look, we all know that we live in an anything-goes era for the rich, whether it be asking for tax breaks that are much lower than the not so rich get or rigging markets or blowing up balance sheets and levering to the point of irresponsibility. No one ever has to pay. Other than the Mad Money Wall of Shame, I don't even really believe that there's much outrage about these travesties, at least not in public," Cramer said. "So in that sense, Peter Thiel, welcome to the club. It's just a shame that no one ever seems to feel, well, ashamed."
Cramer, who is not connected to Facebook in any way, said that he would feel shame were he a part of the social media giant.
"But maybe I'm just old-fashioned and it's me, not them, that's out of step with this outrageous era of avarice and greed," he said.

I'd pick the best one, add the best parts from the other 3, and hand it to Peter Jackson.
Daft Punk would do the soundtrack and the special effects would be handled by the same team that did Firefly and BSG.

07 movie
Ever see America's most wanted when one person talking is all blacked out and voice changed to "protect the innocent" This would be hilarious to have Starscream talking about Megs death and a new leader needed.
ROTF movie
with Skids and Mudflap when they came apart chasing sideways.... Could have had a couple outtakes there.
Wheelie…… come on…. This one could almost have an entire 30 min dedicated to him.
…. Soundwave could have called the wrong number first instead of Sams mother.
Optimus death scene could have had megs and starscream standing around like now what? This has never happened before….. weve never thought this far ahead?
Some over drama over acting by Ironhide and his death scene.
Prime hanging by the wires waiting on the wreckers…. He could have been playing fruit ninja while he was waiting or something…..

Guillermo Del Toro Developing Lovecraftian Video GameWednesday, October 20th, 2010
Guillermo Del Toro working on a Lovecraftian video game according to Platform Nation. Del Toro is a fan of Lovecraft, and has directed films containing allusions to Lovecraft's mythos (Hellboy, for example). He's also tried to get a film version of At the Mountains of Madness greenlighted for some time. As for the HPLish game, Del Toro is working with THQ developing a game he described during an interview with MTV as: "It's horror…but it's a very different type of horror game. It's not survival horror. It's truly a strange, geeky mix. It's a Lovecraftian thing. Let's leave it at that."

Ways of coping
Hearing the news
When a lump or a symptom means a trip to the doctor, there are often several days of waiting for test results. During this time you don't know what you might be dealing with. All kinds of thoughts can go through the patient's mind and through yours.
This can be a very scary time. If the person who might be facing cancer confides in you, it's probably because they need to share their anxiety. They may just need you to listen and try to help them hope for the best. Waiting is always hard, but having someone to wait with eases the burden.
Some people may sense that they have cancer before they get the diagnosis from the doctor. Each person will respond to the diagnosis in a different way. Some may want to talk about what the doctor said in detail. Others may not want to talk about it at all. Sometimes, the person's need to talk will change from day to day. Simply asking, "Would you like to talk about it?" is a direct and respectful way to find out what they need.
Finding out it's cancer
If cancer is found, the doctor should be the one who tells the patient. Think about whether you should be there when the doctor gives the test results. Sometimes when the doctor talks with the patient and the family at the same time, it gives the patient a feeling of support to have others in the room. But some people with cancer prefer to keep their talks with the doctor private. Ask the patient whether you should plan to go along for the test results.
How the doctor shares the news with the person who has cancer depends on the doctor's personal style and sense of the patient's needs and feelings. These factors affect how much information the doctor gives the patient, too. The doctor will also take the family's cues and questions into account when family members or loved ones are there.
Most doctors make it a policy to be honest about the diagnosis, treatment options, and treatment outlook. An honest approach from the start sets the stage for a trusting relationship among the doctor, patient, and family. This allows for open, frank talks between the doctor and patient or family.
Most doctors make it a policy to be honest about the diagnosis, treatment options, and treatment outlook.
People are often shocked when they first hear the word cancer. It may be hard for them to hear or remember anything else after that. Many people can take in only small amounts of upsetting information. If a family member or friend is there, they should pay close attention. Later on, they may be needed to help remember and explain what was said.
If you sense that your loved one with cancer is having trouble taking in information and you are sharing what you heard from the doctor visit, don't get into a lot of detail all at once. Ask if you've given too much information or if you should stop talking for a while. If the discussion is too much at the time, you can assure the patient that loved ones and the health care team are available and concerned. Remind your loved one that these people will be ready to talk about the illness whenever the patient is ready.
If you are not comfortable talking about cancer, you may not be the best person for the patient to talk with at this time. You may need some time and an expert to help you work through your own feelings. You can even explain to your loved one that you are having trouble talking about cancer. Tell them that you would like to talk, but don't feel you are the best person right now. A social worker, counselor, or other friend or family member may be able to offer more support at this time. You can suggest that your loved one seek support from them.
Make sure the person with cancer understands that your trouble talking is your issue, your problem. You may also want to mention that you want to be there for support in spite of this, and hope to be there in the future.

Call for Classes
Greetings Department Schedulers!
In an effort to increase our sustainability efforts, the Call for the Schedule of Classes and related information will be made available to you entirely via the Office of the Registrar website.
Previous like-term sections are "rolled over" as a starting point for updating with new semester information on the Maintain Schedule of Classes screen. To add a section not previously offered, go to the Schedule New Course screen. Delete any sections that rolled forward from the previous like-term which you do not intend to offer. You may begin modifying, deleting, and adding to the Summer and Fall 2014 schedule in the system effective Monday, January 6, 2014. Be sure to make any appropriate changes reflecting the Academic Catalog information (i.e. new course numbers, titles, etc.).
Please complete the setup of your Summer and Fall 2014 Schedules on or before 5:00 p.m. on Friday, January 24, 2014.
At this time, Office of the Registrar staff will begin reviewing schedules and will be responsible for maintaining schedules from that point on. Departments will retain access to update enrollment limits, wait list capacities, and textbook information. An opportunity for departments to proof final schedules prior to release to the public will occur as in the past. Once the Schedule of Classes is finalized, submission of a Schedule Change Request will be required to make changes to the Summer and Fall 2014 Schedule of Classes. Please be sure to use the correct term (i.e., Summer 2014 = 2141 | Fall 2014 = 2142)!
New departmental schedulers, or existing schedulers who would like a refresher on setting up their schedules, may contact Rachel Jones via e-mail (email@example.com) or phone (319-273-4713) to setup a time to receive individual assistance.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP/NewsChannel 5) – Nashville and Memphis International Airports have been chosen to participate in the Transportation Security Administration's expedited security screening program.
U.S Rep. Steve Cohen said in a statement the so-called "pre-check" initiative will enable travelers who pose no security risk the opportunity to move through the screening process more quickly at Memphis' airport.
The program allows select passengers to leave on their shoes, light outerwear and belt. It also allows them to keep their laptop in its case and keep their liquids and gels bag in a carry-on.
Cohen said security personnel will then have more time to screen passengers who do not qualify for the expedited process.
Three other airports have also been added to the program, bringing the nationwide total to 40.

Will a pressure-balancing valve feed cold water to the hot water side when the hot water side is open? I had my water heater disconnected this weekend, with water off at the main supply. When I reconnected the water heater, I had the cold supply valve closed when I opened the main supply valve. Went to the water heater to open it's supply valve, and could hear water rushing in, with the valve closed??? Went inside to check a faucet and sure enough, I had cold water at full pressure on both the hot and cold side -- while the supply valve was still closed at the water heater.
I was told this was because of a pressure-balancing valve. Is this normal function for a pressure-balancing valve, or is there something else going on? I've only got one mixer valve (tub/shower) in the house - everything else is two-handled faucets.

U.S. to probe B.C. oil tanker expansion plans
U.S. authorities will review the safety of Canadian oil tanker traffic in light of Kinder Morgan's plan to more than double oil exports out of Vancouver harbour by twinning its Trans Mountain pipeline from Alberta.
A Coast Guard authorization bill that President Barack Obama signed into law in late December contains amendments by Wash. Senator Maria Cantwell that target the tankers that load in Burnaby and sail along the international boundary through the Southern Gulf Islands and between Vancouver Island and the Olympic Peninsula.
Under the new law, the U.S. Coast Guard must conduct a study this year to analyze oil spill risks from additional Canadian tanker traffic through the Salish Sea, placing the Trans Mountain expansion proposal under added scrutiny.
"A supertanker oil spill near our shores would threaten Washington State's thriving coastal economy and thousands of jobs," Cantwell said in a statement on her website. "This bill will provide crucial information for Washington coastal communities by requiring a detailed risk analysis within 180 days."
The study is to assess the risks of increased traffic due to Canadian oil sands development – particularly whether Vancouver-bound tankers skirt stricter rules and regulations that apply on tankers in U.S. waters heading to Washington refineries.
The law also directs an investigation of "whether oil extracted from oil sands has different properties from other types of oil, including toxicity and other properties, that may require different maritime clean up technologies."
It also questions whether Canadian law is looser on the capacity of oil tankers, spill response capabilities and provisions requiring escort tugs and an emergency standby tug.
A provincial government technical report released last summer previously highlighted each of those as areas where American rules are already stricter and that should be examined as part of B.C.'s insistence on improved safety before the province contemplates approving any new oil pipeline.
Kinder Morgan's $4.3-billion pipeline twinning would increase Trans Mountain's capacity from 300,000 to 750,000 barrels per day, meaning a roughly five-fold increase in tankers carrying Canadian oil to about 300 per year.
An estimated 600 oil tankers and 3,000 oil barges already travel through Puget Sound each year, many of them carrying Alaskan oil to Washington's five refineries.
Meanwhile, Kinder Morgan's pipeline will be the focus of a National Energy Board hearing that gets underway next week in Calgary.
Burnaby's Chevron refinery is seeking priority access to oil flowing through Trans Mountain to protect its supply.
Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, who opposes the pipeline expansion, has intervenor status at the Jan. 15 hearing and will be supporting Chevron's request, adding a Chinese or American refinery might otherwise buy up all of the oil Kinder Morgan can carry, at a cost of local jobs and potentially higher gas prices here.
"I'm going to say it's in the public interest," Corrigan said. "If we don't continue to supply Chevron, they'll close and then we'll have to ship all our oil out to a foreign refinery and then import it back by tankers."
At least one Washington refiner is expected to oppose Chevron's request.

Our Technology
Great technology begins with a great team
Stanford, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, IIT—coincidence or consequence? Rocket Fuel's core technology team comes from the most celebrated computer-science and engineering programs in the world. The team is comprised of:
More PhDs than any ad technology company in our sector (LinkedIN)
- 2 SIGMOD award winners (imagine having two Pulitzer Prize-winning authors writing your copy—we have ours writing our code)
- 1 Artificial Intelligence Top 10 Most Cited Papers of All Time
- 130 papers
78 patents
- 3 books
To improve digital marketing for our customers, we have created a new class of computing. We did this by synthesizing leading-edge research and development in artificial intelligence, big data, machine learning, and decision science. This potent blend turns online marketing programs into intelligent, computational life forms that continuously adapt to changing and evolving data streams, performance signals, and media environments.
But we're not just about automation. We provide dedicated account managers, analysts, and real-time reporting and feedback so you'll never be caught off guard or unable to respond to senior management with timely information.
Our core philosophy is simple: Score and serve each impression to make an impression every time
Most businesses take efforts to treat their best customers a little better. Frequent fliers get the seats with extra legroom. Restaurant regulars get the best tables.
But to most ad servers, every ad-serving decision is the same. One minute the ad server may be looking for an ad to fill an impression on the worst-performing publisher in the network, with a prospect who hasn't clicked an ad all year. The next minute the ad server could be handling an impression on a premium publisher, with a prospect who has clicked ads for digital cameras and high-yield savings accounts recently. Sadly, too many of these technologies of yesteryear linger in the ad-tech ecosystem, relics of an old age of computing.
Simply stated, Rocket Fuel is running the Bugatti Veyron of high-performance ad technology. We put it to use every day, billions of times per day, to score each and every impression for its own inherent advertising value. Successful marketers who work with Rocket Fuel reap the rewards of unmatched speed, agility, and performance. Performance that can be matched by no one.

Fish and Game Q&A: Is it legal to use lights to monitor wildlife if you do not have any guns in your possession?
In support of the California Department of Fish and Game and its effort to keep hunters and anglers informed, Outposts, on Thursday or Friday, posts marine biologist Carrie Wilson's weekly Q&A column:
Question: Is it legal to use lights to monitor wildlife if you do not have any guns in your possession? Watching wildlife at night is a very interesting way to educate kids to be on the lookout for and gain an interest in wildlife. I've always wondered if using lights to do this would be considered harassment somehow and not be allowed? (Bill T.)
Answer: It is not illegal to shine lights since you won't have a "method of take" with you, but your activities could alert a game warden who might think you are using the spotlights to poach game at night. Be aware that there are vehicle code laws that prohibit shining a hand-held spotlight from a motor vehicle and another provision that requires "off road" lights to be covered while traveling on a public roadway or highway.
Instead, you might consider using a trail cam like those sold through most outdoor-gear stores. These will allow you to capture (with night-vision equipment) images or video of wildlife that might be visiting a watering hole or passing through an area. There are some cameras that take photos when a light sensor is tripped and some that take photos at certain time intervals. The trail cams would not bother or harass the wildlife, and you'd be able to take photos of them while they are acting normally, doing whatever they naturally do at night. You might also be surprised by the different species that will appear that you probably would not expect!
Q: I helped my boss, who is legally blind, get a disabled license for fishing. However, due to her disability, she will need help baiting her hook. Can I legally help her without needing a two-pole stamp? (Sandy B.)

- Ten years ago, oil companies purchased about 1,500 leases to drill for energy on publicly-owned lands in the Gulf of Mexico-- but they did not have to compensate American taxpayers for 70 percent of them.
- At that time, the price of oil was $14 a barrel. Today, as the price of oil hovers above $100 a barrel and Republicans continue to claim oil companies need more public land for drilling, nearly half of these leases have yet to be developed, while the potential profit from these resources has soared for Big Oil.
- American families and businesses are already paying sky-high energy prices to fuel their cars and trucks and heat their homes and offices - they shouldn't have to pay more than $100 a barrel to buy back their own oil from companies earning the largest corporate profits in American history.

ESPN insider: Bruce Arians, Tom Moore will get most out of Cardinals QBs
Originally published: Jan 24, 2013 - 4:19 pm
However, one place there seems to be a consensus is with the hire of Tom Moore as assistant head coach/offense.
Moore, 74, comes to the team with a wealth of experience and credibility, and according to ESPN NFL insider John Clayton, the Cardinals did good to land him.
"Love it, absolutely love it," Clayton told Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Thursday. "Tom's one of the great guys in sports."
Moore has been coaching since 1961, having spent time at both the collegiate and pro level. He most recently spent time as an offensive consultant with the Tennessee Titans and New York Jets, and before that was with the Indianapolis Colts.
Clayton believes he'll be very helpful to an Arizona offense that struggled mightily last season.
"What's nice about Tom Moore, he knows how to simplify the game for a quarterback," Clayton said. "Just to come in as a consultant, I think it works out fine."
Moore -- and Bruce Arians, who is the head coach -- will have to get the most out of a team with an uncertain situation at quarterback. Whether the Cardinals go with Kevin Kolb, John Skelton, Ryan Lindley, Brian Hoyer, a draft pick or a free agent, improved play is a must.
Clayton thinks the team has the right people in place for the job.
"This is not going to be in the Todd Haley, we're going to be yelling every three or four seconds," Clayton said. "He's going to be supportive, they're going to be smart.
"And I think no matter who the quarterback is, they'll get the most out of him."

Newpark Music Centre, Dublin, Ireland
Founded in 1979 to provide much needed music school facilities in south Dublin, Newpark Music Centre now caters for more than 1,000 students of both classical music and jazz and is one of the largest private music schools in Dublin. As a founder member of the International Association of Schools of Jazz (IASJ), Newpark Music Centre established its Jazz and Contemporary Music Department in 1986 and is now recognized as the primary centre for jazz and jazz-related music education in the country. Newpark's Jazz Department is staffed by the finest jazz performers and teachers on the Irish jazz scene. Many of today's most talented musicians have passed through our doors; indeed some have returned as faculty members.
Bachelor of Arts in Jazz Performance
Since 2005, Newpark Music Centre is delighted to offer a bachelor of arts in jazz performance (BAJP), validated by HETAC (Higher Education Training and Awards Council).
This is the first non-classical undergraduate music performance course in Ireland, and represents an exciting development in music education.
The course covers a wide range of musical techniques including performance, instrumental technique, improvisation, composition, computer music, aural training, arranging, and pedagogical studies.
The BAJP can be seen as being a liberal arts education in music, covering as it does so many different areas and giving the participants the skills necessary to operate in a wide area of contemporary music, not just jazz.

Yeah but weren't we talking about MMOs. The more I think about it the more the line between a bad game and a good MMO blur. It seems to me that what most people consider to be good MMOs would be incredibly bad games otherwise.By showing that there are exceptions to the rule. A successful game is not always good. My initial point was that devs should focus on "good", not "successful", when designing a game. Trying to make money is hugely limiting to creativity and innovation, and probably strikes down so many good ideas that never see the light of day. I'm p. sure the makers of SotC were not necessarily in it for massive sales. It's far from a crowd pleaser. If I wasn't an art buff I'd probably think it was 70% boring.
But let me get back to my original point here which got lost in your musings. An MMORPG has to be successful in order to bother existing by its very nature. This assumes the game is actually designed with the word massively in mind, because otherwise why bother making it an mmo in the first place.
Also this is somewhat off topic but relevant. I hate the idea that companies trying to make money is considered a bad thing by entitled customers. Its just such a weird stigma that makes no sense when you think about it for even a minute. I used to have a friend that would constantly say, "They're just doing that to make money!" Yes! Yes they are as such is the point of their existence.

Your retirement
Guidance to help you enjoy your leisure time in later life
Build a brighter future
Planning for your retirement
By planning for your retirement, regularly putting money aside and some careful planning, there are steps that you can take to ensure that you enjoy your leisure time in later life. The sooner you start to save, the more likely it is that when you retire, you will have the money you need to make the most of it. This page is designed to take the stress out of retirement planning so that you know where to start.
Planning for your retirement
How much might you need?
A sensible rule of thumb is to aim for retirement income of around two thirds of your earnings when you retire. Either way, you need to decide how much you want, so you can plan and it is often easier to think in relation to your current earnings and decide how much of your salary you would want to maintain.
You also should consider how much you can expect to receive from other sources. This could include State Pensions, your workplace pension, a mix of investments, property and savings that you have already built up which will be available to you when you stop work.
Your State pension
How much state pension you receive depends on how many years' National Insurance Contributions you pay while you're working. You might also receive an additional state pension – based to your earnings. You can get more information on your entitlement from The Pensions Service.
Workplace pensions
If you're a member of a company pension scheme you should receive an annual statement of your benefits. If you've been a member of a company scheme in the past it's normally possible to transfer benefits from other schemes to your own pension plan but always take advice before you do as such action could be to your disadvantage.
Planning for your retirement
Why does it pay to start saving sooner?
It's important to start saving for your retirement as soon as you can. If you can start saving now, this will give your money more time to grow. The more your savings grow, the more chance you have of achieving your ideal retirement income.
Saving for retirement is often the last thing on people's minds when they are in their 20s and even 30s where their priorities often tend to be saving for a property or bringing up children.
For many, it is not until people reach their 40s or later that they feel the need to put money aside for later life. But, by that time, the amount needed to save is far greater in comparison.
Saving even modest amounts sooner can make a big difference over the long term. Leaving things until later may mean that the amount that you need to save is unaffordable.
Planning for your retirement
Your options at retirement
There are a number of options about what to do with your maturing pension fund. These include:
- Use the whole fund to buy an annuity
- Take up to 25% of the fund as tax-free cash and use the remainder to buy a
smaller annuity.
- Buy an annuity in stages rather than all at once - this can be handy if you carry on
working part-time.
- Move into pension drawdown. This lets you take some income while your fund
remains invested. This is usually only suitable if you have a large fund but this
option will mean that your money would remain at risk as the value of your
investment can go up as well as down.

The telco company will demonstrate how a phone can simultaneously communicate over three network conduits for higher data-transfer rates.
Hans Vestberg is among several candidates under consideration to replace departing CEO Steve Ballmer, Bloomberg reports.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc is a beautiful handset with some great features, but a high price tag and no network optimization leave few reasons to buy this unlocked Android phone.
Following the release of the fingerprint sensor-enabled iPhone 5s, more smartphone makers could soon jump on the bandwagon, if Ericsson's predictions prove true.
Sony Ericsson follows up its ultrastylish Xperia Arc with the Xperia Arc S, a slightly faster version of the posh European model that runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread and rocks a powerful camera. Its high price, single-core CPU, and slow data speeds will leave Android experts wanting more.
Ericsson will open an "innovation lab" on the Facebook campus to help with the development of apps and services on mobile networks.
The company's Mobility Report projects 85 percent of North American mobile subscriptions will be tied to an LTE network by 2019.
The Korean electronics giant agrees to make ongoing royalty payments to Ericsson under a cross-licensing deal on cellular technologies.
The company shares internal forecasts on current traffic and market trends worldwide through 2018.
The Sony Ericsson Vivaz offers value for its price, but we'd suggest paying extra for a more powerful smartphone.

Oregon, Idaho, Washington and the 49th Parallel
The last light faded from the horizon hours ago, and a thin strata layer obscured any hint of luminescence from the moon. To our left rose a vertical wall, a mix of boulders and sediment. To the right we stared into an abyss of inky blackness. We knew what was down there-nothing, at least for a hundred feet or so. Illuminated by our high beams, the rutted two-track we were traversing was only visible as far as the next bend in the mountain. Just wide enough for our Jeep JK, the trail had been void of turnarounds for several hundred yards. The thought of a downed tree blocking the road, as well as that of the sheer drop-off just outside Suzy's window, kept my eyes pinned beyond the hood. Somewhere behind us was La Grande, Oregon; beyond the headlights, the Washington border.
A few days earlier we'd said goodbye to our new friends at the Bear Cat Lodge in Seneca, Oregon, and zigzagged through a maze of logging roads in search of a dirt route north. After multiple dead-ends and closed roads, we were forced back onto the blacktop for seven miles, then another nine. This was killing our all-dirt averages, but the Strawberry Range created a formidable barrier, and paved roads occupied the only navigable north-south real estate.
Though we had issues with deciphering the OOHVA maps for the Oregon Backcountry Discovery Trail (incorrect waypoints, no legend for Section 1, and fuzzy print on the topo maps), they were actually a good reference when combined with a DeLorme Atlas and Garmin's MapSource. We were as lost as a vegetarian at a steak-lover's convention trying to get from Seneca to OBDT Section II. But as I like to say, "We are never lost, just exploring a bit!"
I think the last person who told me most of eastern Oregon is a vast desert was under the influence of a controlled substance. Unlike the Sierra Nevada of California, which are bordered by desert on either side (yes, the San Joaquin Valley was mostly desert before modern irrigation), the forest-blanketed mountains of eastern-central Oregon seem to go on for days-in our case, literally. We were smack dab in the middle of two of America's historic boom-and-bust industries, timber and mining. Though the logging industry has harvested billions of board-feet of timber, enough to build the nation (including the wood-framed homes of those who think we should ban logging), the forests appear fairly healthy. The only real signs of devastation are of the economic type-the still-standing skeletons of towns once supported by local mills and mines.
Rolling into the 1890s mining town of Sumpter is like stepping into a 90-year time warp. Faded hand-painted billboards advertising services and sundries adorn weathered brick buildings, and old-style hitching posts line the wood-plank boardwalks. On the side streets, rickety wooden barns lean at precarious angles. An old blacksmith's shop and livery stable are reminders of the areas rough-and-tumble past. Across from a brick ice cream parlor, which is still serving, we stepped into the Elkhorn Saloon. Every head in the place turned to check out the tourists as we swung open the creaky wooden door. It was Taco Tuesday, but we ordered from their menu of forty-two types of burgers. (Good burgers!)
Founded in 1862 by a few South Carolinians en route to the California gold fields, the town began to grow when the railroad arrived in 1897 (population 300). Sumpter enjoyed its heyday between 1900 and 1903, when a population of 3,500 souls extracted an estimated nine million dollars in gold (and this figure did not include the booming timber industry). Today, a massive river dredge still floats in a pond amidst miles of rock tailings.

Bernie Ecclestone has stepped down from the board of Formula One but will continue to handle the day-to-day running of the sport.
On Thursday, Munich prosecutors confirmed that Ecclestone would face charges of bribery in April.
The charges relate to the sale of F1 to CVC in which Ecclestone is accused of paying a bribe to German banker Gerhard Gribkowsky.
The 83-year-old insists he is innocent but while the case is continuing has stepped down as a director of Formula One's holding company.
In a statement released by holding company Delta Topco Limited, it was confirmed: "After discussion with the Board, Mr Ecclestone has proposed and the Board has agreed that until the case has been concluded, he will step down as a director with immediate effect, thereby relinquishing his board duties and responsibilities until the case has been resolved.
"It is in the best interests of both the F1 business and the sport that Mr Ecclestone should continue to run the business on a day to day basis, but subject to increased monitoring and control by the Board. Mr Ecclestone has agreed to these arrangements.
"The approval and signing of significant contracts and other material business arrangements shall now be the responsibility of the Chairman, Mr Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, and Deputy Chairman, Mr Donald Mackenzie."

Neighborhoods: Dania Beach
Went here two times and shouldn't have done that as the second time was worse than the first. Nothing to look at either inside or out, food not so great, service terrible and I can bake better at home. Next food network show they will be on will be Restaurant Impossible!!!!!!!!! Only thing fast in this place is getting your check for food that you didn't finish and drinks you didn't get refilled.
Yuck! – went here after seeing it on triple D...what a mistake! this place looks like a dump from the outside...the food is just gross, nothing special about it at all, i mean if you like frozen out of the bag hash browns, burnt pancakes or full of grease soggy bacon, then yeah this is the place for you...and i'm not even going to get started on the RUDE and TERRIBLE wait staff they have! just gross!!!!!
Very Disappointed – We decided to try Granda's after seeing it on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. What a mistake. My wife and kids ordered the french toast which was average at best. I ordered the biscuits and gravy. This was the worst biscuits and gravy dishes I have ever tried. I ended up eating three bites and waiting for the waitress to check in to see how things were. The waitress never checked in except to drop off the bill! She never asked how the food was nor did she ask why I hadn't touched my meal. At this point I just wanted to leave, but the kids saw the black and white cookies in the bakery and wanted to them. These were also not great and the kids refused to eat them after taking a few bites. I will definitly NOT return!
This place rules – The food is great, the portions are huge, and the bakery has the best cakes I have every tasted. The icing is amazing. Jennifer is the best waitress ever....very friendly, quick, and efficient. Any of the bad reviews below must be expecting 5 star dining for a $15 meal, but this is a diner, so go here if you want good food, reasonably priced, not atmosphere.
horrible breakfast – The sign said to seat yourself,which we did. then we sat there and sat there. Then finally a server asked, have we been served? we said no.then she yell to the other server why didnt you get these customers? So she took our order, then brought us our food, it looked like crap. I ordered scrambled eggs,they werent even scrambled. My friend ordered a waffle it looked like it was made with my daughters Easy Bake Oven. and it was not cheap either it was my first and last going there.they didnt even refill our coffee either
Over rated – The food is disgusting, the price is ok but when u eat shit, u don't wanna pay a lot usually.
The taste of the fried chicken was awful, the gravy too gooey....
seriously, don't go there because guy fiery went there....
I went to grampas for lunch. I ordered the turkey club. I also had a drink. I went to the bakery and got some baked goods.
Very Expensive for a sandwich – The lunch was great, but to pay $15.00 for a sandwich and $3.50 per soda no refills is crazy.

The atheist response to the text of the Bible is based primarily upon the young earth creationist interpretation, which is flawed. If I put myself objectively in the position of the atheist attempting to debunk the Bible I would start with Genesis Chapter 1. The Chapter passed the inspection of this former atheist.
The Hebrew verb consists of two different states. The perfect state indicates an action which is complete, whereas the imperfect state indicates a continuous or incomplete action.
At Genesis 1:1 the word bara, translated as created, is in the perfect state, which means that at this point the creation of the heavens and the Earth were completed. Later, as in verse 16 the Hebrew word asah, translated as made, is used, which is in the imperfect state, indicating continuous action. The heavens and Earth were created in verse 1 and an indeterminate time later they were being prepared for habitation, much the same as a bed is manufactured (complete) and made (continuous) afterwards.
What this means is that the creation was complete even before the six "days" of creation even began, in fact, later verses in the chapter reveal it was more than likely a long time in between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2.
Views: 3688
Then there is the nephilim...
Genesis is a good place to start reading maybe but it doesn't matter where you start if you're debunking. You can find bull shit all through out the book.
If I were to believe that book then why not all the other religions, myths, folktales, urban myths and lies.
The Nephilim does seem to generate a great deal of interest. On my old website the page on giants and the Nephilim always got good search numbers.
I often wonder, though, when atheists compare religions and their texts if perhaps they are not very familiar with them. They really don't compare to the Bible. I'm not just saying that because I love the Bible, but in my opinion that has proven to be the case.
"The atheist response to the text of the Bible is based primarily upon the young earth creationist interpretation"
That is a blanket statement.
I think it's interesting that the interpretation changes so conveniently. It's like watching someone that has no identity of their own.
The teachings of apostate Christianity are the majority by far. 99% at least. It is only natural that the antithesis of that is apparent.
Ah, I see. You are in the 1% who espouse The Truth.
Sounds like a Gnostic to me --
No. Maybe. Maybe you are, huh? Ever think of that? What I mean by what I said is that 99% adhere to the teachings of a pagan conflict with the Biblical. For example. I don't believe in hell because the Bible doesn't teach it. It was adopted later. This is well documented and can even be established by referencing their own admission. The Catholics believe in hell and the Catholic Encyclopedia plainly states it was a pagan teaching not a scriptural one.
That isn't to say that I have any sort of infallible claim to truth any more than the atheist do.
That's a very linear process.
I might add that IF your 99% figure is correct it is still a blanket statement.
So what terms would you like to set on debunking genesis? Obviously being a part of this %99 percent is going to be frowned upon here so then what terms will make you smile david? Please supply your sources for this 99%.
It doesn't mention hell much... But it does Hades so this must be a apart of your beliefs. right?
When I die I want to be buried dressed like obi wan kenobi. I'll be holding a copy of "starwars" so that the "uncomplicated" people in the future have a new faith to believe in.
I found the conclusion of your post to be amusing as it was obviously intended, but as for the rest of it I don't know what you are talking about.
If it is a blanket statement then so be it.
The 99% influences the thinking here. It influences the atheistic thinking in that it is the product which is under scrutiny.
You have no recourse but to include me within the lot. They are either for or against.
If I say the majority of Christian teaching is founded, not upon the Bible but pagan myth this may be something the atheist is already aware of but nevertheless has to focus upon the teachings which it is the antithesis of.
On one hand, if the pagan influence were not known I could be a useful tool had I presented myself as atheist. Since I am theist what then?
Do you deny that hell, for example, isn't pagan in origin? You still have to deny me.
It affords you the opportunity to reexamine your own position while still having to deal with mine, which supports you in a sense but leaves you in the dust.
All we are is dust in the wind. Just joking.
I like that the issue posed here by the OP in a civil manner is limited to Genesis, and don't mind sticking to that in civilized debate. (Even when some TA people's postings are the first to discourage civilized debate, at least in this thread. Even if Dave's a genuine Bad Guy who deserves to be punished in other threads, why react so automatically-negative to his graceful opening?)
So David, I'm new to your writings and have (potentially) dumb questions.
* Is the Hebrew translation therefor the only valid version of scripture?
