The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
"Being confronted with evolution may have been the catalyst for asking the difficult questions, but the real problem for me was not evolution – it was biblical literalism."
Once we recognize that no one takes the text literally, and that we have often failed to account for the details in the text regarding the time of day, we can begin anew to try to understand the text as an ancient text rather than as a modern one. As such, we must begin with the idea that the text operates in the world of omens, not the world of physics and astronomy.
This series, by Old Testament scholar Richard S. Hess, was first published as an appendix to Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith (Downers Grove: IVP Academic; Nottingham: Apollos, 2011).
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Augustine had a great deal to say about those chapters in Genesis that are especially controversial within Christianity today.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
Many people assume that until Darwin came along, devout Christians everywhere read and understood Genesis in the same way. But Dr. Pak points out that some of the most revered figures in Christian history--Origen, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, and Calvin--offered insightful but distinctive interpretations of the text that are often overlooked today. First presented at a symposium in Raleigh, NC, Dr. Pak's paper is presented here as a three part series.
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
The related ideas of the "fixity of species" and "natural kinds" have been prominent in the science and faith conversation. Some Christians take Genesis to mean that God created (bara) fixed species (mîn). But does the text truly indicate such a concept? Biblical scholar Dr. Richard Hess looks at the Biblical context and meaning of the Hebrew mîn, and suggests that when Christians use it to frame our understanding of the entire created order, we may be asking too much of this single word.
Theologian, historian and Christian apologist Dr. John P. Dickson addresses the history and interpretation of Genesis 1. Making no claims about human biological origins, Dickson urges us to treat the early chapters of Genesis as a literary and historical statement, and listen carefully to it on those terms.
At the center of the theological and cultural controversy surrounding biological evolution stands the question: "How do human beings—creatures uniquely created in the image and likeness of God—fit into the scientific picture of life's origins and development?" In this three-part series, Dr. Joshua Moritz endeavors to address this question by exploring what Scripture means—and does not mean—by the designation "image and likeness of God".
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
Design arguments have been around forever and expressed in various ways. Most of them fall into what we call natural theology, which is the process of inferring something about the existence and nature of God by the inspection of nature.
I will take some time to clarify exactly how Michael Behe, the biochemist and Intelligent Design (ID) proponent who has most extensively developed the "irreducible complexity" argument, uses the term.

The family of a 17-year-old found dead earlier this year in Lowndes High School will have full access to the investigative reports, including school surveillance video, related to their son's death, according to a ruling this morning in Lowndes County Superior Court.
"We are one step closer to getting to the truth," said Benjamin Crump, attorney for the parents of Kendrick Johnson, the Lowndes High School student found dead on campus in January.
Southern Circuit Judge Harry Jay Altman heard the case in closed chambers. Altman ordered the Lowndes County Sheriff's Office to release previously redacted and omitted material that was not included in the family's open records request for all information relating to their son's case.

Obamacare's Marriage Penalty
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) Being married is expensive - and not just for the usual reasons. According to the Competitive Enterprise Institute's Hans Bader - and others - it is an expensive proposition as far as the Affordable Care Act (ACA) premiums and taxes are concerned.
Bader maintains that there is a discriminatory treatment of married versus unmarried couples. For proof he cites the Kaiser Family Foundation's (KFF) ACA premium calculator.
MainStreet ran two scenarios through the KFF calculator and learned that the marriage premium penalty is not always there. When it is, though, it is a significant one.
You don't need a calculator to determine the tax penalty, which is a constant. Married couples are penalized because of the way healthcare is indexed. This would create a significant burden to a married professional Millenial couple.
According to the KFF calculator, a married couple, aged 55, living in Pennsylvania, who earned a combined total of $100,000 per year, can buy a Silver plan for $12,570 per year, with a maximum co-pay of $12,700 annually or about 30% of the typical total annual medical costs for such consumers, according to an actuarial table.
But if that couple were divorced and one were making $30,000 per year and the other $70,000, the combined cost would be $5,330 and a maximum co-pay of $12,700. The taxpayers would foot $307 of the bill subsidizing the premium.
The $30,000 per year spouse would pay $2,512 and a maximum co-pay of $6,350. The $70,000 per year spouse would pay $2,818 and a maximum co-pay of $6,350.
This represents a savings of $7,240 per year - just by living together without being married.
The second scenario, though, revealed that there is not always a penalty. A married couple, ages 40 and 36, with two kids both younger than 21, earning a combined $200,000 per year, would pay, using a national average, $8,290 per year with a maximum co-pay of $12,700 annually.
Now if this couple divorced and both their incomes were the same but the wife got custody of the two kids, this is how their costs would change: he would pay $3,240 per year plus a maximum co-pay of $6,350. She would pay $6,318 with a maximum copay of $12,700. So their combined premium amounts are $9,558.
This is $1,268 per year more if they divorced than they would be paying if they stayed married. So in this case, the ACA provides an economic incentive to stay married. albeit the benefit is not quite the whopping amount the two 55-year-olds would receive by splitting up.
Another issue is that of the "high-income" tax. The ACA creates a new 0.9% tax on wages - and a 3.8% tax on unearned income - that exceeds certain amounts.

Scale-free network
|Network science
|Network types
A scale-free network is a network whose degree distribution follows a power law, at least asymptotically. That is, the fraction P(k) of nodes in the network having k connections to other nodes goes for large values of k as
where is a parameter whose value is typically in the range 2 < < 3, although occasionally it may lie outside these bounds.[1][2]
Many networks are conjectured to be scale-free, including World Wide Web links, biological networks, and social networks, although the scientific community is still discussing these claims as more sophisticated data analysis techniques become available.[3] Preferential attachment and the fitness model have been proposed as mechanisms to explain conjectured power law degree distributions in real networks.
In studies of the networks of citations between scientific papers, Derek de Solla Price showed in 1965 that the number of links to papers—i.e., the number of citations they receive—had a heavy-tailed distribution following a Pareto distribution or power law, and thus that the citation network is scale-free. He did not however use the term "scale-free network", which was not coined until some decades later. In a later paper in 1976, Price also proposed a mechanism to explain the occurrence of power laws in citation networks, which he called "cumulative advantage" but which is today more commonly known under the name preferential attachment.
Recent interest in scale-free networks started in 1999 with work by Albert-László Barabási and colleagues at the University of Notre Dame who mapped the topology of a portion of the World Wide Web,[4] finding that some nodes, which they called "hubs", had many more connections than others and that the network as a whole had a power-law distribution of the number of links connecting to a node. After finding that a few other networks, including some social and biological networks, also had heavy-tailed degree distributions, Barabási and collaborators coined the term "scale-free network" to describe the class of networks that exhibit a power-law degree distribution. Amaral et al. showed that most of the real-world networks can be classified into two large categories according to the decay of degree distribution P(k) for large k.
Barabási and Albert proposed a generative mechanism to explain the appearance of power-law distributions, which they called "preferential attachment" and which is essentially the same as that proposed by Price. Analytic solutions for this mechanism (also similar to the solution of Price) were presented in 2000 by Dorogovtsev, Mendes and Samukhin [5] and independently by Krapivsky, Redner, and Leyvraz, and later rigorously proved by mathematician Béla Bollobás.[6] Notably, however, this mechanism only produces a specific subset of networks in the scale-free class, and many alternative mechanisms have been discovered since.[7]
The history of scale-free networks also includes some disagreement. On an empirical level, the scale-free nature of several networks has been called into question. For instance, the three brothers Faloutsos believed that the Internet had a power law degree distribution on the basis of traceroute data; however, it has been suggested that this is a layer 3 illusion created by routers, which appear as high-degree nodes while concealing the internal layer 2 structure of the ASes they interconnect. [8] On a theoretical level, refinements to the abstract definition of scale-free have been proposed. For example, Li et al. (2005) recently offered a potentially more precise "scale-free metric". Briefly, let G be a graph with edge set E, and denote the degree of a vertex (that is, the number of edges incident to ) by . Define
This is maximized when high-degree nodes are connected to other high-degree nodes. Now define
where smax is the maximum value of s(H) for H in the set of all graphs with degree distribution identical to G. This gives a metric between 0 and 1, where a graph G with small S(G) is "scale-rich", and a graph G with S(G) close to 1 is "scale-free". This definition captures the notion of self-similarity implied in the name "scale-free".
The most notable characteristic in a scale-free network is the relative commonness of vertices with a degree that greatly exceeds the average. The highest-degree nodes are often called "hubs", and are thought to serve specific purposes in their networks, although this depends greatly on the domain.
The scale-free property strongly correlates with the network's robustness to failure. It turns out that the major hubs are closely followed by smaller ones. These smaller hubs, in turn, are followed by other nodes with an even smaller degree and so on. This hierarchy allows for a fault tolerant behavior. If failures occur at random and the vast majority of nodes are those with small degree, the likelihood that a hub would be affected is almost negligible. Even if a hub-failure occurs, the network will generally not lose its connectedness, due to the remaining hubs. On the other hand, if we choose a few major hubs and take them out of the network, the network is turned into a set of rather isolated graphs. Thus, hubs are both a strength and a weakness of scale-free networks. These properties have been studied analytically using percolation theory by Cohen et al.[9][10] and by Callaway et al.[11]
Another important characteristic of scale-free networks is the clustering coefficient distribution, which decreases as the node degree increases. This distribution also follows a power law. This implies that the low-degree nodes belong to very dense sub-graphs and those sub-graphs are connected to each other through hubs. Consider a social network in which nodes are people and links are acquaintance relationships between people. It is easy to see that people tend to form communities, i.e., small groups in which everyone knows everyone (one can think of such community as a complete graph). In addition, the members of a community also have a few acquaintance relationships to people outside that community. Some people, however, are connected to a large number of communities (e.g., celebrities, politicians). Those people may be considered the hubs responsible for the small-world phenomenon.
At present, the more specific characteristics of scale-free networks vary with the generative mechanism used to create them. For instance, networks generated by preferential attachment typically place the high-degree vertices in the middle of the network, connecting them together to form a core, with progressively lower-degree nodes making up the regions between the core and the periphery. The random removal of even a large fraction of vertices impacts the overall connectedness of the network very little, suggesting that such topologies could be useful for security, while targeted attacks destroys the connectedness very quickly. Other scale-free networks, which place the high-degree vertices at the periphery, do not exhibit these properties. Similarly, the clustering coefficient of scale-free networks can vary significantly depending on other topological details.
A final characteristic concerns the average distance between two vertices in a network. As with most disordered networks, such as the small world network model, this distance is very small relative to a highly ordered network such as a lattice graph. Notably, an uncorrelated power-law graph having 2 < γ < 3 will have ultrasmall diameter d ~ ln ln N where N is the number of nodes in the network, as proved by Cohen and Havlin. The diameter of a growing scale-free network might be considered almost constant in practice.
Although many real-world networks are thought to be scale-free, the evidence often remains inconclusive, primarily due to the developing awareness of more rigorous data analysis techniques.[3] As such, the scale-free nature of many networks is still being debated by the scientific community. A few examples of networks claimed to be scale-free include:
- Social networks, including collaboration networks. Two examples that have been studied extensively are the collaboration of movie actors in films and the co-authorship by mathematicians of papers.
- Many kinds of computer networks, including the internet and the webgraph of the World Wide Web.
- Some financial networks such as interbank payment networks [12]
- Protein-protein interaction networks.
- Semantic networks.[13]
- Airline networks.
Scale free topology has been also found in high temperature superconductors.[14] The qualities of a high-temperature superconductor — a compound in which electrons obey the laws of quantum physics, and flow in perfect synchrony, without friction — appear linked to the fractal arrangements of seemingly random oxygen atoms and lattice distorsion.[15]
Generative models[edit]
|It has been suggested that Generalized scale-free model be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since August 2011.
These scale-free networks do not arise by chance alone. Erdős and Rényi (1960) studied a model of growth for graphs in which, at each step, two nodes are chosen uniformly at random and a link is inserted between them. The properties of these random graphs are different from the properties found in scale-free networks, and therefore a model for this growth process is needed.
The mostly widely known generative model for a subset of scale-free networks is Barabási and Albert's (1999) rich get richer generative model in which each new Web page creates links to existing Web pages with a probability distribution which is not uniform, but proportional to the current in-degree of Web pages. This model was originally discovered by Derek J. de Solla Price in 1965 under the term cumulative advantage, but did not reach popularity until Barabási rediscovered the results under its current name (BA Model). According to this process, a page with many in-links will attract more in-links than a regular page. This generates a power-law but the resulting graph differs from the actual Web graph in other properties such as the presence of small tightly connected communities. More general models and networks characteristics have been proposed and studied (for a review see the book by Dorogovtsev and Mendes).
A somewhat different generative model for Web links has been suggested by Pennock et al. (2002). They examined communities with interests in a specific topic such as the home pages of universities, public companies, newspapers or scientists, and discarded the major hubs of the Web. In this case, the distribution of links was no longer a power law but resembled a normal distribution. Based on these observations, the authors proposed a generative model that mixes preferential attachment with a baseline probability of gaining a link.
Another generative model is the copy model studied by Kumar et al. (2000), in which new nodes choose an existent node at random and copy a fraction of the links of the existent node. This also generates a power law.
Interestingly, the growth of the networks (adding new nodes) is not a necessary condition for creating a scale-free network. Dangalchev (2004) gives examples of generating static scale-free networks. Another possibility (Caldarelli et al. 2002) is to consider the structure as static and draw a link between vertices according to a particular property of the two vertices involved. Once specified the statistical distribution for these vertices properties (fitnesses), it turns out that in some circumstances also static networks develop scale-free properties.
Scale-free ideal network[edit]
In the context of network theory a scale-free ideal network is a random network with a degree distribution following the scale-free ideal gas density distribution. These networks have the special property of reproducing the city-size distribution and electoral results unravelling the size distribution of social groups with information theory on complex networks,[16] when a competitive cluster growth process[17] is applied to the network. In models of scale-free ideal networks it is possible to demonstrate that Dunbar's number is the cause of the phenomenon known as the 'six degrees of separation' .

The first "first family" to occupy the mansion was that of acting Gov. Denver S. Dickerson and his wife, Una, who moved in in July 1909.
The marvelous structure was designed and built by George Ferris and Co. of Reno. Basically a two-story mansion in the Southern Colonial style, the unbelievable building was constructed for the sum of $40,000, which had been authorized by the 1907 Legislature and signed off on by then-Gov. John Sparks (hence the Sparks connection to the mansion.)
In September 1909, June Dickerson was born in the mansion, purportedly the only child ever born there.
To date, the mansion has been home to 18 of Nevada's governors. Over the years it has been renovated several times, with minor renovations in 1959 and more considerable restoration work in 1967. In 1969 the Legislature approved $78,750 for remodeling but most of the upgrades, furnishings and decorating were accomplished with $200,000 in private donations.
In 1999-2000, the most significant reconstruction was initiated by Gov. Bob Miller and first lady Sandy Miller with the entire project financed by private donations.
A timeline on the mansion shows that it was first opened to the public in January 1910. In 1976 the structure was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
For this writer, one of the earliest visits to the mansion occurred during the term of Gov. Paul Laxalt when I was invited to Carson City to play tennis with the governor. He provided a guest bedroom and shower facilities as a changing room from "civvies" to tennis attire, after which we drove over to his private residence in Carson City that sported a tennis court and swimming pool. Following the match we returned to the mansion, showered and had a fine lunch on the back porch.
Another early visit to the grounds occurred in 1969 and that occasion was the inaugural governor's dinner to support the Athletic Department at the University of Nevada, Reno.
At that time, iconic NFL coach George Allen was the featured speaker. Over the years since then, the "Guv's Dinner" has featured many notable speakers, including Joe Montana, Terry Bradshaw, Joe Theismann, Charles Barkley and Roy Williams, to name a few.
Today, the governor's mansion is the sparkling centerpiece of historic Carson City where many other beautiful early 20th century private mansions still abound and are inhabited by lucky residents who live in the opulent style of a bygone era.
Incline No Lake?
The once-pristine waters of Incline Lake, stocked heavily with fish for its private owners to catch, are no more. The tiny body of water was drained off last year when it was feared the relatively small dam that first created the lake in 1942 was not safe from seismic damage. Now, whether to restore the lake or let the area revert to its once verdant meadow is one of the series of controversies still surrounding the future of the once private enclave that was obtained by the U.S. Forest Service in 2008 for $46 million. The previous owners of the property, Incline Lake Corp., had set a value of $75 million on the property but accepted the $46 million based on a "friendly condemnation" hearing that is scheduled for U.S. District Court determination.
Whatever its future, the individual private "cabins" that used to surround the lake are now gone forever and the area will someday be open to the public as a recreational park. Hikers and wintertime cross-country skiers are unanimous in their desire to see the lake never return.
The Incline Lake private getaway was established by a number of wealthy northern Nevadans more than six decades ago and over its lifetime it was visited by many of the most powerful and influential "movers and shakers" in the country. Too bad no one kept a master guest list of the hundreds of celebrities who visited the lake where — it was said — every time a visitor caught a trout, two of equal size were immediately put back into the lake.
Another attraction for years was the powerful telescope located at one of the residences that, because of the altitude and lack of surrounding lights, could peer deep into space — much further than its contemporaries of equal size and located at lower elevations.
As a one-time visitor to Incline Lake — when the Reno Prospectors Club had an outing there courtesy of Pete Barengo, one of the owners — I was impressed with the "cabins," which were of stately size and design. Many of the guests on that occasion opted for angling, while others of us looked for "fish" at the gin rummy tables. After a hearty lunch and numerous adult beverages, the party broke up. Since I was riding with Barengo and his buddy Larry Devincenzi, we opted to proceed on to Crystal Bay and to visit the Cal Neva Lodge for additional unneeded refreshment. It was there, with dusk approaching, that Barengo had the brilliant idea of going to Tahoe City and taking us out for a ride in his hand-constructed cabin cruiser. The lake was fairly choppy and getting out of the dock area was a ricochet adventure. Once out in the rolling waters, Barengo suggested that I try my water skiing skills. Finally, with the aid of powerful flashlights, they fished me out of the bone-chilling water. On the way back to Reno, Devincenzi told me the most interesting thing about Barengo's boat.
He built it in his basement in Reno and when he was finished it was too big to get out of the basement doors, so he had to saw it in half and then glued it back together!
Needless to say I never went on another cruise in the Barengo watercraft.

Trade School Programs: Training in Beauty and Cosmetology
Cosmetologists, barbers, and beauty professionals enjoy the opportunity to find work in every area of the world, providing a service that should always be in need. Training for these positions may includes programs at trade schools, junior colleges, vocational schools, or community centers. Trade school programs may last 6-12 months, and can be completed part-time. In addition, many classes are offered at night and on weekends.
A state license is typically required for barbers, cosmetologists, and beauty professionals. This exam traditionally requires a high school diploma or GED, the completion of a barber or cosmetology training program, and the passing of a state exam, including written and practical tests.
Working as a Barber, Cosmetologist, or Beauty Professional
The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that this career category should grow slightly faster than average, and that job opportunities should be plentiful. Turnover is generally high as workers change locations and career paths. Also, the increased demand by aging baby-boomers should keep hair stylists in particular on a steady trend of job growth.
Most barbers, cosmetologists, and beauty professionals work in barber shops, salons, and spas, offering hair cuts, manicures, pedicures, facials, and other services.
Most of these workers earn hourly wages. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics of May 2011, the middle 50 percent earned an average hourly rate of between $8.04 and $10.85, including tips. Specialty salons and spas typically pay more, based on experience. These positions usually do not come with benefits, and hours can range from part- to full-time and even overtime work.

Comments On Apr 13, 2014:great product it is a must buy
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Mar 23, 2014:I just installed a second one of these on another bike. The best part is that you do not need to break the chain to get it on. This one has a bottom plate that you remove and once mounted on bike you re-affix the bottom plate. Very well thought out part. As Shane in TN mentioned the SuperSprox sprocket (I'm talking about the aluminum center hub- steel outer ring sprocket) the rivets that join the parts of the sprocket protrude from the face of the sprocket and these rivets will rub on the chain guide but the same happened to me with that sprocket and the OEM chain guide. So no difference and a few miles on the bike and the rivets wear a groove in the guide and cause no problems from there onward.

Comments On Feb 08, 2014:I run a 50T super sprox chain sprocket and rear tire would not spin freely with the Acerbis chain guard installed. The chain link would almost stop the rear tire when spun on stand. Well made part, just did not fit my bike. I bought the TM guard (after returning the Acerbis guard, thanks RM); no issues.

Comments On Jan 27, 2014:nice part...way better looking then the aluminum one that came stock! holds up great and have not had any issues with it...It's also has been wearing well
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jan 18, 2014:As the title states, the Acerbis does everything the TM Designs does, but will save you $20 bucks.
Cons: One of the replaceable block screws stripped out on initial installation, but that was more than likely my fault. No worries, it bolted right up and hasn't given me any grief. It is also a little louder than most guides when new. It is not an issue any longer as it is almost 40 hours old now.
Pros: This thing is solid and tough. Perfect fitment in the stock mounting location. Replaceable block so when it wears, spend another $15 bucks for a virtually new guide surface. Price!

I actually started June 2nd but didn't get around to post. I had tried the challenge about 10 years ago. Only went thru 3 weeks of it but I had saw progress. Been contemplating starting back again, when two things happened that pushed me over the edge.
1. Met a guy at work who was 1 year older than me (I'm 44) and the poor guy could hardly walk. I swore he was atleast in his late 50's. A big wake up call for me.
2. My company opened a gym that was employee only, and the cost was 10 bucks a month.
That was a sign for me to start (that and my wife pointing at the sign, lol) This time it's gonna be a little different.
I'm 10 years older,
I work at a very physically demanding job. I am a shipbuilder. I climb a minimum of 30 flight of stairs a day and have a mile and a half walk roundtrip from car to the ship. In the year and a half that I have worked their, I went from 230 pounds to 190. That is me eating when I want, what I want and no gym time.
This leads me to another question. With the type of work I do, should I change lower body work outs or my cardio?
The sweet deal is, I work at night. I get to the gym @ 1130 am and I have the WHOLE gym to myself. One power rack station with 460 pounds of weight and one barbell....dumbbell set up to 150 pounds, and all the machines. This is more than I had at my finger tips than last time. I had a bench and about 80 pounds of dumbbells.
Anyways, I am looking forward from learning from all of ya'll. I know I'll be bugging the heck out of ya'll.
Welcome aboard! Its a great journey.
Personally I wouldn't let your work effect your workouts at all. Though I am not saying you won't feel it the next day on those flights of steps, but I am betting you will see great results. Follow the program as is. It works. All the best to you.
I agree with firesong.. Don't change up anything. I have a physically demanding job as well delivering cases/kegs of beer majority done by hand lots of walking and lots of stairs too. In my experience since going through my first and now almost 3/4 done with my second challenge it's only made work easier but also make sure you are getting enough food intake everyday to keep up with the job and the workouts..because if you don't you will fell the difference and another thing is the water make sure you get your water in.. and also ans firesong said It truly is a great journey.. Stay focused post often both in good and especially in bad times helps to keep you on track and accountable. After 12 weeks you will be a new person inside and out!
Much aloha.. kaina
O yeah 10$ a month and all that metal to move sweet I wish I had a deal like that.. nice!
Thanks firesong and island_dude.
Yes, I have to drink plenty of water. Was doing so before I started bfl. The high's over here is 103 and that's outside. I'm in a huge steel ship with no a/c and min. fans.
I'm still playing around with the food thing. Trying to be as frugal as I can cuz of low funds. boiling eggs for today as we speak. Gonna have to go by wally world and buy some protein powder.
Plus eat plenty of tuna!!!
J, You will start thinking island-dude and I are conspiring parrots or something. But i-dude is right on, keep up enough calories with the program and your job. Protein powders are a wonderful thing to use, and there are some cheaper if you look around. And the program is flexible, so work on that so you don't burn out on only tuna fish.
how's it coming along jamey? I hear you on the wally world.. you should check out costco too.. I get alot of my stuff from there just the stuff i consume alot of like eggs.. cottage cheese yougurt.. and sweet potatoes.. Hope you dong well..

007 Legends reveals On Her Majesty's Secret Service
by Alice O'Connor, shacknews.com, Jun 29, 2012 6:45AM PDT
On Her Majesty's Secret Service has been revealed as the second film James Bond will face-shoot his way through in Eurocom's multi-movie merry romp 007 Legends. You remember, the one in the snow with the skiing bit with guns.
On Her Majesty's Secret Service, to refresh your memory, is the one where SPECTRE and the dastardly Blofeld threaten to destroy the world's food supply with the aid of brainwashed ladies.
Five films will be recreated in 007 Legends when it launches for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and for download on PC on October 16, but the upcoming Bond movie Skyfall will be added as free DLC. Our John played the Moonraker section during E3, so see what he makes of it.

We spoke with Scott Moore from Athentikos. We're excited about their next film, Becoming Fools. It premiers in Grand Rapids on March 5, and will be shown in Grandville on March 6.
Listen to out our chat with Producer Scott Moore HERE.
Italo Castro was a professional clown who became a father figure to countless street youth in Guatemala City. After his tragic death, professional entertainers rally around street youth to honor their fallen hero in a theatrical production on a distinguished stage. The odds are stacked against this dysfunctional troupe, but they're determined. Perhaps they're fools for believing it can be done. Or perhaps…Becoming Fools is exactly what they needed…because the journey of a fool leads to the heart of a child.

Doesn't Home Depot carry parts on the shelf for their toilets?Can anyone assist me in locating a new G B flush knob
Oh, that's right, they don't.
And that's why plumbers won't be installing a toilet that nobody carries parts for.
MIKE IN CALIFORNIA, I have 2 Glacier Bay Flapperless system toilets 1.28 GPF from Home Depot and paid $88 as well. THEY ARE EXCELLENT, only issue i have had is a broken flush knob and the seat screws need to be tighten well or will come loose, can not ask more out of an $88 toilet. I also own 2 Toto's which r the Lamborghini of toilets but paid $350.00 for each. Can anyone assist me in locating a new G B flush knob please thank you. Claudio

Actually, I applied common sense, the tank empties in less than three seconds and there is no way that another 1.7 gallons of water can enter and escape. No, trust me, its accurate despite what others would like to think.
The tank holds about three gallons.
So if you have to hold the handle down for a complete flush, you are using three gallons.
What a waste.
Hi. I called the manufacturer's customer help line printed on the side of the box, gave them the Foremost Sedona toilet tank Model number T1-001WL and the kind gentleman advised me that the MAP rating is 300 grams.
He said it does not really matter much what the bowl number is but I gave it to him anyhow and he said the answer was still the same (Bowl # LL-004RW from the side of the box) MAP tested for 300 grams.
I was pleasantly surprised how helpful the Foremost company was. I give them a 9 out of 10 for telephone manner. As a comparision I recently called American Standard for help on a separate issue and the lady answering the phone was curt and did not take my question seriously. I give American Standard a 3 out of 10 for how they handled my call that day.
Hope this helps.
Customer purchased their own GB toilet at HD, then hired a plumber (me) to install it. He's obviously not the brightest bulb on the tree. Anyway, here was my impression:
It worked better than I expected, but I was expecting it to not work at all. Still had to fiddle with it a lot to make it not leak (both onto the floor and into the bowl). The flush was semi-weak. I would not recommend this toilet to my mother in law. The parts looked cheap (not just plastic but thin plastic) and are probably not readily available. Very shoddy tank to bowl gasket as well (seemed to have no density to it and it kept falling off). And what was with the wingnuts for the tank bolts? All in all, this toilet was a piece of crap (pun intended).
Keep in mind, by not hiring a plumber and purchasing it through a plumbing company, you basically have no warranty (unless you call un-installing it and hauling it down to HD a "warranty"). If you want to buy and install this toilet, go right ahead. It doesn't bother me at all. You'll be calling me within a year wondering why it doesn't work and why there aren't any parts for it. After your wife scolds you for being so cheap (and stupid), I'll gladly sell you the Toto you should have bought in the first place. I'll also take immense pleasure chucking that GB out of my truck and into the dumpster. Betcha it breaks in midair (you think I'm kidding).
As a side note, I wouldn't recommend American Standard toilets either. They haven't made a good toilet since... well, since ever. They try and try, but they keep screwing it up. They get an 'A' for effort though. Maybe the Champion 28 will be the one. Who knows? For now, Toto is the best. Kohler is a distant second, and only a few models at that.
Seriously. I can't figure out how to get the water tray piece our of this P.O.S. I feel like I am going to snap the handle or break the tray.
This leaks onto the floor from the wingnut screws where the tank connects to the throne. Tried tightening from underneath, tried a long screwdriver, but can't get around this POS flush mechanism.
How do you take this plastic flush reservoir out without breaking the toilet?
I am tempted to break this piece of sh!t so that I can just by a new toilet.

When the seat broke on My american standard williamsburg ( a Home Depot only product ) who didnt have the toilet seat for it? Thats right Home depot, of course american standard does to the tune of $200 plus shipping! Now Ill be buying Toto only from now on and I will only recommend Toto to My friends and customers.
Stay away from the home depot store brands at least when it comes to plumbing!
You know when someone doesn't know what the hell they are talking about or has had zero experience with a Glacier Bay toilet then they ought to not THINK they know it all. First of all the tank on these toilets is never getting filled with water. Only the small tray up near the top of the tank gets filled with water and when you flush, the tray dumps it's water into the empty tank. I have never had any leaks either. How fricken hard is it to repair a tank to bowl leak anyways? It's not under any pressure! This toilet uses less than half the water and it works great unless you're some kind of retard. If this toilet is from a 3rd world country maybe we ought to look at their washing machines too unless you don't care about saving water and money. They must be laughing at us for the amount of water we waste. Ninety percent probably to water the grass outside!
I replaced this Glacier Bay N2225 flapperless toilet for a homeowner. It was awful. There is very little rinse in the bowl. After each flush, it would need cleaning. The homeowner had tried to return it, but Home Depot said, "No Way!" She overheard the clerk from the plumbing isle telling the "return" clerk that it was a cheap toilet for those that couldn't spend more. It was not a warm fuzzy feeling finding out your purchase wasn't really intended to please, but just filled a hole.
She first told me that the seat screws would not stay tight, and I thought she was kidding. But she wasn't. They won't stay tight. I shot some video of the bowl rinse that I will post in a few days. Pathetic.

I would like to comment on the new design Glacier bay Toilet that has the "Dump Bucket" inside the tank, rather the old fashioned flapper that we have used for years.
Personally I am totally disappointed with the design. The part that discusts me the most is there is no swirling effect in the bowl to properly wash the solid waste down the sides of the bowl! This is a major problem, as you have feces that stays on the sides of the bowl, because there is not enough water flow down the sides of the bowl. You constantly have to re-flush or manually clean the sides of the bowl to have a presentable/rather (clean) bowl. And please keep in mind that I am a male, and not a female, so therefor my standards are not as high as say womens would be. Don't buy it...you will be disappointed with the operation of the toilet. I have plans to replace this toilet in the spring when the weather breaks,and destroy it.
The Dump Bucket performs as it was designed to do.....but there is not enough water supply to properly self-clean the bowl of feces stuck to the sides of the bowl. And there is no adjusting the water level as the "Dump Bucket"only holds so much water. The concept and idea of the "Dump-Bucket" design is ok but it is flawed. Don't buy them, you will be highly disappointed.
We have one in our home (put in by previous owner) and it's horrible. Would stay away. It flushes straight down .. no swirl. Leave *stuff* in the bowl. Yuck.
Mr. Love; My research revealed your name in connection to Glacier Bay Toilets and seats, I'm a 70 year old/live alone in an apartment in Madison Alabama, it just so happens that my toilet appears relatively new it's a Glacier Bay elongated 1.28gpf/4.6gpf, #331-725, the seat [looks like a all in one] is very light PVC/other with slide in PVC hinges [cheap]. Yesterday I sat down and immediately [I and the seat] fell to the left going down striking my left knee and twisting my lower back and within inches of taking a blow to the head. Emergency Room evaluation suggests injury to the knee/back; I was directed to an orthopedic surgeon. My point and forgive the editorial length is that given the lack of structure and poor design, especially in a commercial/high traffic environment [I'm sure this is not a isolated case] that incidents such as this should be reported to the appropriate State/Federal/Recall Agencies; maybe such a recall has taken place?; Should you have the opportunity to review and respond; it will be appreciated; In Advance>THANK YOU.
Mike B.

Planned Parenthood Applauds the Introduction of the Global Democracy Promotion Act
Statement of Latanya Mapp Frett, Vice President International, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, on the introduction of the Global Democracy Promotion Act:
Planned Parenthood commends Congresswoman Nita Lowey (D-NY) and her 103 cosponsors for introducing the Global Democracy Promotion Act. This bill would once and for all bury the global gag rule and the harmful limits it once imposed.
U.S. foreign aid should never be used as a tool to limit womens access to health care or to impose unfair restrictions on the decision-making ability of independent organizations overseas. The women of the world need information and services, not censorship and restrictions.
